Thanks for the tag

@purple1234, the correct size O ring is only 1mm thick (cross section), you can get away with 2mm or 3mm diameter but any bigger risks shorting.

If you have been having problems with shorting, not firing or spurious display readings then I can have a look at it for you.
Won't cost you anything except postage.

The sides of the pin will short against the head if there is no insulation between them.
If you are careful you can pull the pin out of the head about an inch, it will still be connected by a wire at the base.
When you go this you can slip the heat-shrink over the pin and wire, then heat it with a hot air gun, or lighter, etc.
Then stretch the O ring over the pin so it fits around the shaft and directly under the lip.
When you are happy push it all back into the top cap, it'll be a tight fit.

Quite happy to smash windows and scare grannies but not one of them man enough to sign up to defend their country!

I've been on the right side of a few riots, getting bricked and petrol bombed really sucks!
It's all worth it though when the hard faced f**k*r who threw it is flat on his back crying for mummy after he's taken a baton round in the chest.
Or water cannon in winter....my favourite!

Might pop down myself

As a consumer I say if you ordered Stainless Steel then you should get Stainless Steel.

But it sounds like another case of 'a little knowledge is a dangerous thing' for those guys doing the review.

For a start I'm not sure either of them would know the difference between Hexavalent and Trivalent Chromium.
Hexavalent chromium is highly toxic and mutagenic by inhalation, during manufacturing.
Trivalent chromium is benign and found in trace mounts in food and fresh water. Also considered an essential element for human life.
Stainless steel used in cookware and cutlery contains about 10.5% chrome, that's the bit that makes it stainless.
When combined with steel, chromium has a valence of 0, any leaching would be Trivalent chromium.
The aluminium in a cheap dripper or drip tip is more toxic than chrome plating.
Yes, there is lead in brass but that's under a layer of chrome, if the chrome is compromised then I wouldn't use it.
Any chrome that did flake away would not combine with your juice and be inhaled, the temperatures are not high enough.
Unless you are going to grind or weld your chrome plated atty you are pretty safe.
Chrome is stable up to 1,907°C, you gonna need a big battery to melt that!!

BTW, their statement that brass drip tips are safe is not true, that's why brass musical instruments have SS, silver or gold plated mouth pieces.

I have got to get one of these, it looks awesome!

amygx, as daveyboy37 says, think about upping your nic level to 22/24mg in the short term.

I struggled with cravings for the 1st week until I upped my nic to 24, that knocked it on the head instantly.
Stayed on 24mg for a couple of weeks and then back to 18mg with no troubles whatsoever.
About 3 months ago I dropped to 12mg by accident when I used my sons juice for a week and I didn't notice
