What is this called and where can I get it?

The little rubber grommet on the left hand side of the photo below?

The photo shows an isub coil head but they have been a common component in many different coil heads over the years.

They are used to separate the positive and negative coil leads with the negative lead being caught between the coil body and the outside of the grommet and the positive lead between the inside of the grommet and the positive pin.

Do you know the technical term for them and do you have any idea where I might buy some?

A couple of years ago, in the days of recoiling Kanger evod heads, someone on the forum posted a link to where they could be bought but I can't find the link anywhere.

A grommet! And your prob need to order another coil to get one

Kinda defeats the purpose don't you think?

They are called an insulator but i can't find anywhere selling iSub ones.
If you search for kanger or protank coil insulator you can find loads but none for iSub.

You can get a rebuildable head for the iSub though

I was a bit slow editing my last post.
In case you missed it you can get an RBA head now for the iSub.

There you go @yinyang or if you only want 1 or 2 pm me your address and I will send you a couple

PS these are the protank ones I don't know if they will fit

I know you can but the stock coil heads are a doddle to recoil in under 2 minutes (as long as you don't rip the insulator   ) and there are no fiddly screws to mess about with.

@yinyang stick a wanted post in the classies there's bound to be someone on here who uses an iSub but can't bothered recoiling the heads and possibly has some old heads laying about.

Peter, could I ask you to measure the inside and outside diameter of the protank insulator ... just approximately will do and no big hurry mate. The isub insulator is about 7mm OD and 6mm ID. If the protank insulators are something the same I will order some from fleabay. 
Thanks for your link and kind offer.

I have plenty of heads mate but the rubber insulators are very flimsy and when you recoil a head a few times, the wire leads tend to cut through the insulator especially if using 24 gauge kanthal. Ideally a stock of spare insulators is what I needd.

These are 4mm od at the narrow part and 4.5mm at the wider part - measured with my new digital vernier calipers

sound like these are too small

No worries Peter, thanks for taking the trouble mate.

@yinyang I had the same problem but for the Nautilus coils. The only way I found to get them was for vapers to give me their old ones. Some people I make juice for just give me their old ones. Others I return 1 recoiled head for every 2 used.

I started giving 10 recoiled heads to people we had introduced to vaping but discovered it's better to let them start with stock coils and when they have mastered the basics give them the option. I still get the used ones though.
