Try wrapping a little Teflon tape around the orings of the DT that is loose, it will snug it right up

If you don't have a little larger o-ring, you can also use some sewing thread under the one you have.
I was thinkin I should get some of these things, do they come in an assortment pack? What department would they be located in in a place like lowes or menards? I only have like 4 drip tips that have O rings on them. Thanks I will keep both these ideas in mind and try one of them.
Yes it is used for plumbing. I typically get a short piece and fold it in half and wrap once around. Works like a champ for some of those loose fitting DT's
OK Crocky I am gonna go see if I can find it wish me luck cause I am the most un organized person if ever there was. Hardly ever put anything back in its place. LOL But geeshhh just think it takes the fun outta playing the seeking game. And the joy outta findin something.
I finally cut off a Raven and put it in my BB. I am officially in love again! 
What did yah use to cut it down and did ya take the flange off of it?

Still no change with my tracking "electronic info received"
I sure hope ya get something different on tracking tomorrow. The waiting is bad but then when ya know it is on its way it seams all the harder and longer. Good luck bk78
I ordered a few without the flange, and I used one of these pipe cutter thingies:
Next time I'll try my Dremel.

I did that as well a while back but unfortunately when it cut it (which it did well) it curved the top in ever so slightly that I could not get a drip tip on it
. If I tried to pull it out it disfigured it too much.

It did that on mine too, that's why I'll be trying the Dremel next time. I thought it might be because the cutter is a bit old, and isn't so sharp, even though I was trying to be careful. I found out there's a thick plastic inside the carto that makes it really hard to tell when you've cut it through.
I'm not having trouble with getting my drip tip on, I don't think it goes down far enough to actually go into the carto. As long as the carto touches the brass ring, all is well.
Try a tapered punch on the end of the carto to swell it back out. The biggest thing to using the pipe cutter is to have a sharp one and work slowly. Just turn the cutter in a little at a time.
Yep, I take back what I said about the DT, I think it was the brass connection did not make contact because if it. Maybe as Steve said I need to do it slower. It is a new pipe cutter so should be sharp enough. I am thinking I went to fast and applied too much pressure.
Hmm, anyone know how to prevent that buildup of oxidation/grime between the brass ring and the connector on the top of the box? I've been cleaning it out daily... lol.
OMG. I am so stooopid. The Billet Box has been wonderful, exept last night and this morning. I have fresh batteries, but nothing. Then it fired two or three times....nothing.
I haven't used cartos for so long, I forgot they don't last for months!!! And do I have another with me? No. Luckily, I do have 2 other devices to get me through the day.
