a 17x1 fits but is miles to thick
Are you maybe trying to use a 17 x 1.5 mm ??
I said 16 x 1 mm because that is what I used, I didn't have any 17 x 1's but I did try 18 x 1's and they were kind of tight. So it appears that 17 x 1 mm is the recommended size.

UGHH yes. Just went and looked at the bag. 17x1.5. Ugghhh. So which do you think I should order? 17x1? or 16X1?

I have about 10+ bags of o-rings and NEVER have the right size for my projects. :(
It will take around 50 sizes or so to get you pretty well covered, 1 mm thickness 2 - 20 mm ID, 1.5 mm thickness 2 - 20 mm ID and a few 2 mm thickness ones.

I only know the size of the one on the Lemo chamber top. 7.5 x1 mm (this is a tad bigger than the supplied one, fits better)
I gave it to a friend so I can't measure the tank end ones.
On TGT II clone with the 2 mm thick tank sleeve a 20 x 1 mm need to used on the top end of the sleeve, same as the bottom one.
If 1 mm thick sleeve then 19 x 1 mm on top end and 20 x 1 mm on the bottom end.
Except for the AFC ring and tank sleeves the rest of the TGT II o-rings are the same TGT.

I suppose it was just a matter of time before I slotted my Hotcig TGT II. This is the one with removable deck. 3.2 mm wick slots also.
I should probably done it sooner. I'm not sure how I messed up on my coil resistance but I wanted 1.2Ω but got 0.9Ω, that limits me to 22.5 watts instead of 24 watts due to 5 amp limitation. Still use my Eye everyday.

A little modification was needed on the atty's 510 insulator, no more gap.

It must have been Bill that gave up on the eye.? I remember when you got that, I wanted one so bad. I still have my semovar and think it's one of classier tubes I've ever owned. Would just LOVE a more powerful version.... A new nivel chip is all I need for the upgrade but I guess that guys out of the vape game. At least I never heard anything more about him. (the nivel chip guy)

The eye had a "facelift" and now delivers 7 amps instead of 5 and has a lower resistance threshold as well as a telescopic body to accommodate all 3 battery sizes. I was going for it till the SXmini hit the market. And I am glad I got the mini. Between it and the Semovar, the provaris, and the futura I think I'm safe...ummm.. for now. ;-) I still find the eye tempting and catch myself every now and then contemplating having a back up box mod.

Man, everytime I think I'm done "wanting" something, something new comes along. :(
I seriously need to quit reading ECF. ;)
