Drip tip rubber bands?

[Phoenix .]

I have lost 3 of the tiny rubber bands that fit next to the screw on my iclear 16's drip tips, rendering them useless, have tried other little bands from other equipment .but nothing works, I can't be the first to be so clumsy. Any ideas anyone

I found some somewhere darlin, I did. I just can't for the life of me find them again.
Here are some other ones though .

The search continues. One of the vendors does a pack i'm sure of it.

You can get pretty much any O ring you want from here ... www.polymax.co.uk/#&panel1-2

There's a couple of Vendors who stock O Rings for drip tips Phoenix:

www.vapingthings.com/O_RINGS_FROM_100_PER_5_PACK/p1311952_6951019.aspx

alba-vapours.co.uk/drip-tips/o-ring

Builders/Plumbers Merchants/Halfords they also stock O rings, depends if they've anything small enough though.

I looked at those Perpetua and they are just a wee bit big.
I have an I16 one in front of me now and using my best guess with the metal rule i use for jewelery it's a 6mm bore, 1mm x sec. (thickness lol)
7mm x 1mm outside dimension. I asked in my hardware store and showed him an iclear 30 one and we tried a whole box of assorted sizes and if it's a black rubber one it's just too thick.
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr uff

I did think they might be ruffdog.

Vaping Things aren't a bad price though . . . there's also this site:

www.theoringstore.com/

Personally, I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than trawl through that lot however.

You dont buy O rings by measursing the outside diameter .. you buy them by measuring the inside diameter and the thickness... check the diagram at the top www.polymax.co.uk/o-rings/rubber-nbr-oring/1mm-cross-section-nitrile

@agenthoover That is exactly what i just did.

"metal rule i use for jewelery it's a 6mm bore, 1mm x sec. (thickness lol)"

Damn good price / site though.

The 11th one down in that list should be the one...however, they supply rubber and silicone, decision time ...lol

Sorry, i did then say. 7mm external diameter though.  I wasn't even thinking about how they would be listed tbh.  so My bad too.

I think we should do a mini group buy for 500 of the suckers. ok maybe 100

Double check the material, i just had a quick look and grabbed the first ones i saw, ... those are rubber i believe,,, im at work so can only have a quick peek every so often.....lol

Apparently these are the sizes:

5mm ID and 1.5mm CS.

Whilst some are 5mm ID and 2mm CS.

Bugger, yer stuffed for the silicone ones as the ID is ok just a bit bigger but the cross sec is 1.78mm which is far to thick.

what is nitrite like anyway, you know @agenthoover ?
