Where to get certain O rings?

[Vaslovik]

I wanted to ask here, seeing as how this is my vaping info center, and someone might know. Where do you get O rings like the one in the collar for a sigelei 24? Mine came loose and got cut in half as I was taking the collar off it, which bummed me out, and now I have no idea where to get one. I sure can't write to sigelei about it, they don't answer and I'm pretty sure they don't care either.

I *think* it's about a 25mm O-ring, but I'm not sure how thick it is, maybe 1 or 2 mm. It would have to be the perfect size to fit in that collar right. Does anyone know where I can get one? I'd buy a bunch of them, they can't cost much.

Also, where do you get the O-rings for drip tips? Mine are wearing out and I don't like having my drip tips loose in my RBA's.

Thanks

Get yourself a pair of cheap dial or digital calipers. They come in handy for lots of things, so a good investment - anyway, get a pair and measure the o-ring diameter and thickness. Thickness, as you can imagine, is more critical than diameter - you can fudge that plus or minus 1mm and still be good to go.

Anyway, once you have that, go to The O-ring Store, and match it up to their inventory. They have just about any metric or decimal o-ring you can imagine, and usually in 3-6 different compositions.

Drip tip o-rings can vary a bit in size as well... it sometimes, but not always, depends on what the drip tip is made of. Most vape vendors carry them. Vapology, for example, has some.

I would suggest checking out the auto parts stores. Also the smaller mom & pop specialty hardware stores are more likely to carry the size o-rings that we use in vaping than the major chains like Home Depot, Lowes, etc.

Okay, I went there, but I'm now scratching my head. they want me to pick what material it's made of, which I had thought was neoprene, but they don't have that, they have Buna-N in various numbers, and I have no idea what that is, nor have I the foggiest what EPDM, HNBR, or Viton ETP Extreme is.

I'd really rather not have to pop $20 for a digital caliper just to buy a .50 cent O-ring, I think instead I'll just measure the groove inside that collar (it's about 1.5mm) then buy 1mm, 1.5mm, and 2mm thick 25mm O-rings, and hope one of them works.

Still trying to figure out what the material is.

Our usual suspect, i.e. Messrs. fasttech of slow deliveries has o-rings of various sizes on offer...

Pack of 50 is reasonably priced, so won't ruin your bank account if the size isn't the one you need.

I found o rings at desert vapes and the #2 o ring was the right size for my drip tip. Shoot them an email to ask about the other one, they usually respond within an hour or two. HTH

Vaporbank.com has 510 drip tip orings in two sizes. 4mm x 9mm and 6mm x 9mm. They come 10 orings to a pack and a pack is only .99
I have two packs on the way at the present time.
