Ultimate Clearomiser/Arry Tank fix.

[Perpetua]

Well . . . for reasons not known, even to myself, I seem to have discovered a solution to the new Ultimates fitting properly in a Arry Clearo Tank.

Having had a problem with leakage on one of the clearo revisions a while back, I contacted Arry who supplied me with some O rings to swap over the supplied ones on the Clearo's.

I've done this as a matter of course on all the Clearo's I've used since . . . as they're of course reusable and there's nothing more irksome than losing your juice all over your hands & PV.

Did exactly the same with the new Ultimates, they've fitted the Tanks, no leakage . . . hey presto!

It's easiest to winkle the supplied clear O ring off with a pin and then slip the new one on in it's place . . . this is very easy to spot when you remove the tube.

The only place I can seem to find that sells the right size O rings is here . . . postage is a bit hetic though.

think i might have found a cheaper one. thats providing you can use a slightly thicker 0-ring.

the one you quoted is 1.2mm thick but these are 2.0mm. would it matter that much at just .8 of a mm? and at £1.50 delivered instead of £5.50 its a heck of a saving

i would take care on what these are used for as you need food grade O rings that can cope with oil as you dont want these breaking down with eliquid as you could end up sucking in harmfull chemicals.

i recomend you use viton O rings as they are made for chemical resisitance

It might do Brian . . . the Ebay ones work a treat, so even though they're a bit hetic on P&P, I'd be inclined to stick with them myself.

You can re-use them, so they're reasonable value.

Those ones that perpy linked to are a perfect fit, that extra .8 will make them a little to large, .8 doesn't sound a lot I know but they will be very tight if they do in fact fit. And as camper says, you need O-rings that can handle oil, plumbing ones will be made for water.
Sorry mate
