Drip tips / rubber O rings - solved

[bing]

Actually looked properly and found product I needed - sorry guys...


Hello everyone, I'm asking for more advice (once I know what I am doing I will try and contribute something!).

The last few weeks I have been using CE5 rebuildables. I have cleaned / washed the 'guts' a few times, the wick on most of them seems in OK condition, and I've been allowing them to dry properly, and have tried dry burning with the 'head' removed, all fine so far.

However, I have been having problems with O-rings (bad un-PC joke warning[/b][/color]): No Challenger disaster yet, thankfully. The last time I washed out two of the CE5s, the O-rings had gone from the the tip (I think this is the 'drip tip' - possible terminology problems, all I mean is the detachable mouthpiece you remove when filling) when I fished them out from the sink. I noticed that they had 'migrated' down into the 'body' of the clearo tank itself, presumably affected by the hot water. I thought 'what the hey' and carried on regardless, fired them up when they were dry, and have had predictable problems with leaking, and the 'bubbling' sound you get when you manage to get liquid in the airhole, against all advice.

So far, so what? What I am wondering is:

If I order just new plastic drip tips, will they come with the rubber O-rings? If not, can I buy them separately? I know they are probably worth like 2p each or something, but I am trying to treat the whole clearo unit as a 'medium term' disposable, and only change the heads (and now the mouthpiece) - as changing clearos x 3 every week or so will increase the ongoing cost quite substantially, and I am trying to make sure I'm spending far far less than I did on smoking.

Any help on whether tips will come with O-rings, or whether compatible O-rings are available separately, gratefully received as always.[/s]

I would go down to a nearby hobby/electronic/body piercing shop and ask for some 5mm id x 1 mm thick silicone O rings..You can buy them online but the cost of postage will probably be too high.

You can try calling Sealforce or bearing station if you have no joy locally. They had a ebay store which is closed for updates..
