Subox mini white seal rings

[Lil wrinkle]

New to this forum. But I'm looking forward to becoming one with the fam.
I have a black subox mini. I started using the rba, since the pre-built occ leaks to the AFC. I'm thinking of buying translucent/white seal rings, for a cool look. I'd paint the buttons white and put a white cover over the battery.
How can I verify the integrity of the rings? Here are the rings: $1.03 Authentic Vapesoon Seal Rings Set for KangerTech SUBTANK Mini Clearomizer (3 Pieces) - 21mm dia. + 17mm dia. at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Also do the rings wear out? Or why do people buy replacements of them?

You can get them here for a little more and maybe not have the wait

They also have bases and glass.

You could get a white cover instead of paint, but it doesn't cover the top: authentic-vapesoon-protective-silicone-sleeve.

And yes they tend to wear out, you'll notice as soon as slight leakage occurs.

Haven't tried yet, but the link I provided is from Fasttech also. So I guess theirs are authentic too.

Yeah FT is usually pretty good about telling you when something is authentic or a clone (they call it "style"), but the ones you posted are authentic "Vapesoon" rings for the Kanger tank, they're not authentic Kanger-brand products. This one is authentic Kanger, just a few cents more, and you get all the colors including white/translucent.

Welcome and glad you joined.

Wear out? Yes, Why replacements? Many factors govern the need to replace seals. I would guess the main reason for replacement is caused by friction wearing down (abrading) the seal material.

Covers in my opinion are a must have for the subox mini. The paint chips off after awhile. Mine looks tough. I have a cover.

Agreed. I dropped mine on the floor, looks rank.
