origin v2 a little help please

[Grandad]

Hi all

Just bought an origin v2 (clone) my 1st rda, first thing where could I buy the very thin o rings that fit on the outside of the main chamber.
And secondly I've only used it once and its chewing up the top o ring "hence new ones needed" when I slide the air control on I've lubricated with juice but just eat my last o ring.
Noticed one air hole feels a little sharp could I lightly wet & dry the inside ?

I have the Genesis version so it is different, but when the top-cap o'rings get tight I take them out and put them on the outside of the top cap for a couple of minutes to stretch them, then put them back a the fit is better for a few days. You can get small quantities of o'rings by size on eBay, they are listed by inner diameter and thickness.

I'm using mine with just one 'o'-ring now 'cos of exactly the same. When mine arrived, I had to put it in the freezer for a bit in order to get it apart! Once it woz in bits, I saw that the assemblers had graunched up one 'o'-ring, pushing it out of the recess....hence afc ring being jammed. I found one that fitted, in the spares...but promptly managed to chew that one up too! I just have one 'o'-ring now!
How are You liking the V2 tho'?.....Mine's permanently attached to My Nemmie these days!

i use the silicone orings to seal up my kegs for beer brewing buying from the Aussie ebay seller is way cheaper than standard sources.. they are also usefull for replacing the SS ferules in swaglock type SS compression fittings for a less permanent seal

Ive tried lightly sanding the inside with wet and dry and still chews the o rings up so it now sits in the bottom draw, ive bought a mini freakshow which i find easier to build and a great flavour chaser. Hopefully try the v2 again one day when im in the mood yourgurnard

dont forgett about it, the origen would wipe the floor with the freakshow for flavour as has been said try taking off some of the orings, lube them up and break them in when your ready to give it another go you wont be dissapointed

while i have little or no experience with rebuild-able atty's, i have a little experience matting Stainless steel threads with other materials for a good seal,
PTFE tape is a great aid, a couple of wraps on a thread can work wonders, and wrapping under tension will encourage a fold over an edge too. to tidy up after a seal has been made a sharp blade can trim off any excess. might be worth a try. PTFE is a very neutral material heatsafe and safe to use with most liquids, solvents, acids, and bases.

Good suggestion!
PTFE tape rescued my Taifun!....wrapped twice over the 'o'-ring behind the coil shroud bit to stop it from flopping down when the chimney/tank was fitted. 
 One of the most useful items in me vape kit.....& You can use the empty reel for Kanthal storage!
