Where can I find various sized O-Rings?

[fjgotgame24]

I got this custom top cap and needed to look through a pile of extras to find the right fit. Its my last one however and would like to have a bunch of extra o-rings anyway for back up purposes. Thanks.
Edit: I need a thicker o-ring for the Igo-W. The standard ones are too slim and do not provide enough grip for the top cap. I found some stuff but its hard for me tell which one I need.

Is 16mm X 1mm same as 1mm x 16mm? No right?

They are the same.
Usually the o-ring specs are given as: Inner diameter X Cross section (thickness)
1mm X 16mm must be a typo since an o-ring with an ID of 1mm and a CS of 16mm is impossible

Do a search on Amazon for "O-ring assortment"

I actually find some on fastech... hopefully they have some fatter ones as the standard size is not working... is 1 mm and 1.5mm a big difference?

I want to find some black o-rings; myfreedomsmokes.com has some of the "translucent" kind, but I want black. Any ideas how I can find that?

Pull the ring(s) off....put a strip of dental floss in the track....re-seat the o-ring(s).....
Cheap....and it works!!

Thats the problem, its hard to figure out what size you need.
Theres also Metric and Inch sizes to further confuse the issue.
The easiest way is to take the atomizer to a good hardware store.

I bought a few different sizes from FT. There's enough variation and PLENTY of them for a few $ to last a lifetime over various toppers.

Would that also work for the ones that have such fat o-rings I have to pull them off to use them at all? After removing the o-rings of course they're a bit loose, but better loose than not being able to use 'em at all; if the dental floss idea will work, I'll definitely try that! Some of the "flat" o-rings would work too of course, but don't have any right now.

Yeah I'm thinking that's probably true; I have no earthly idea what size or kind I need, just that I want some black ones. I checked out that link to the O-ring Store, but geez, it's like a vegetarian in a butcher shop! How on earth do I choose?!?!
