This is the first high-end mod I've purchased and you would assume they would include spare o-rings. Does anyone know if VA sells them somewhere? I also guess they are made of Buna...?

Don't know if VA sells extras, but I would imagine they'd send you some if you ask. O-rings should be buna-n.

Chipotle.
A friend of mine owns one as well, it came with nothing spare whatsoever. I was able to source replacement o-rings for him for the deck/top cap but they were not from VA. I actually ended up getting replacement O-rings that were sourced from an EHpro clone and they worked. Kind of lame IMO that the clone is sold with spares but the original is not.

So did you have to buy a clone or were you able to find the O-rings separately for the valkyrie?

I pestered another friend who had at one point had a Valkyrie clone for the O-ring kit in the box he had laying around, I got lucky on that one but my next step would just be to get some O-rings locally. Luckily I have a specialty air fitting/hydraulic hose shop that carries a lot of different kinds of O-rings in all sorts of materials within a short distance of my house.

Well I've contacted them and although I was able to get a switch when mine shot craps, I can't seem to pin them down on o-rings. Does anyone even have the sizes?

That being said, I love my Valkyrie, and I was lucky enough to get a new Mini and just slightly used one for a great price. I love the mini's almost as much as the full sized one. Ya, you need to carry more batteries but the flavor is simply awesome in those little guys.
