O-ring for mini nova

[genguskhan]

Hi all

I've dropped my mini nova then dropped kicked about 10 feet you know how you drop something and put your foot out to stop it? well I do anyway It's okay but the drip tip o-ring has split I had a look in poundland but our one doesn't have I've got a couple of new drip tips but the are very loose. Can I buy o-rings to fit or any ideas of a good fitting drip tip? Thanks

Graeme

not sure of the exact sizes but u can get those big packs of o-rings from pound shops or similar sizes on ebay, I think most 510 drip tips should fit the mini nova though

I bought a couple of chrome drip tips from vape escape,pulled the rubber ring off got some ptfe tape and wound it round the gap where the o ring was + a bit more then pushed it in my nova and its solid bud

Thanks vapee got a couple of 510 tips from VE but are still a bit loose and our pound shops don't have the o-rings and ebay kits are about £6

Take the O ring off of one of the loose drip tips and put it on the mini nova one.

Buy a reel of that white tape plumbers use. Wilkinson's sell it for about 79p

It works a treat!

Soak the O ring in some hot water to make it more pliable first.

It's funny how you think of things after you muck up

I've found a bottle of super glue fast set a bigger new o-ring a knife and a pair of rubber gloves this could be messy or a trip to A&E

It's all gone very quiet from Geuguskhan - hope the waiting times at A & E aren't too bad . . . . .
