What's the point of replacement parts...

[momtomater]

...If no one has the part you need? I have a protank mini 2. The little rubber gasket that the glass sits in on the bottom cap is somewhat shredded (not sure how, over tightening or maybe just the metal rim sliced it) but Google isn't helping me find what I need. I'm very close to writing this off and tossing the whole thing. Nothing is more frustrating than needing something you just can't find.

just a little vent as I'm needing my nic and ticked off lol

You can get 100 of them HERE for $10.00....lol

I'm going to keep looking around for you, though.

And THIS place, which is one of my favorites, offers a whole replacement cap or bottom WITH o ring for about $3.


Frankly, I don't know why these shops don't buy the bulk purchase and sell 2-5 o rings in little baggies for $3-$5 a pop. People would pay for it because it's such a stupid little annoying thing to find.

Did it come in a nice black box. If so there are a couple extra in there. Or there should be.

I know you can get drip-tip replacement gaskets at Lowes. Take it to a hardware store and I am sure they'll have something close enough to be able to be used.

If not, you could always get 100 of them, take 2 out of the pack and then sell the remainder on Ebay (for about $10 plus shipping )

And this is where you discover that having back-ups... and back-ups for your back-ups is a good thing.

Seriously... the one Protank is all you got? If you're can't find an o-ring quick and you get desperate, I'll be happy to send you a EVOD loaner to hold you over.

Plus, if you DID toss it, you'd see O-Rings on 3 websites the next day, 3 for $1.

Are all O-rings the same size, so they can be used for any style vaporizer?

 

[momtomater]

Okay, thank you for all your help! The ring in the bottom part on mine looks more flat than an o - ring so j guess that's why I was confused. I have other clearos but I don't like them and my husband has them filled with his fruity stuff that I don't like lol.

Any hardware store can help you out just take your base with you and tell them you need an O-ring to fit it.

 

[danca90]

You could but the box of 100, and start selling them in the classifieds.

Kanger is fond of those flat "sealing gaskets". You might be able to find an o-ring with similar ID/OD and not so thick that it prevents you from assembly. Hell, you might be able to make one from some silicone sheet. ;-)

Yeah, I don't get it. It kinda sucks having to order parts from three different places because nobody carries all the parts for the products they sell. It's a little annoying actually.

Yep. just got mine today and there were about 5 extras.

Absolutely not!

 

[klynnn]

I save all my old parts to ecig stuff. The heads can be rebuilt, never know when you need an o-ring somewhere.

In a different realm of my world, I paintball. Paintballing is REALLY big on O-rings. McMaster Carr sells all the Orings we need for our various applications. The most common O-ring that needs replacing is what we call the "Bottle O-ring" that seals the CO2 or Compressed Air tanks to our Markers (guns). If I remember correctly, I bought them 1000 for like 15 dollars or something like that. A Paintball store will sell them for 1 dollar a piece. Sell 15 of them and they make their investment back. Sell all of them and net 985 in profit.

Back on topic. It would be a no brainer to stock these items if they are so darn cheap. An investment of 10 dollars to resell at 50 cents per would net 40 dollars in profit for the lot of 100.

Only if you want your membership to be short lived on ECF. Not advisable.

Out of curiosity, what would be wrong with that?
