I do know where I can get o-rings for my technical needs (oil resistant, heat resistant, etc.), but I have now idea where to get FDA approved o-rings suitable as spare rings for tanks.
Now that most of the stocking up is behind us, what would be a suitable procedure for maintaining items in storage?
For regulated mods, keeping them dry is probably all that is needed. But should the sealed wrap be removed to avoid condensation inside?
How about atomizers? I had a problem in removing the cap from a used RDA after it was in storage for two years. Had to resort to using WD40 because the o-rings became adhered to the metal surfaces. I ruined the o-rings in the process. Would it make sense to go through and disassemble/reassemble things at certain time intervals? Should items be stored disassembled? Will o-rings become permanently compressed over time? Maybe put some vg on the o-rings for storage? Or should o-rings be removed? It's already been said that things should be cleaned/soaked before going into storage.
I have one RDA that gets sticky while in use. I remove the cap about once a week, just so I can.
What do you do? What do you think?
All these cry babys on you tube whining about their authentic or clone atomizers O rings

The Tank He Gave Me Is A SMOKE TFV12 Prince Tank:
And it came with what appears to be green O-Rings (2 of them) about half an inch in diameter does anyone know what these are for? Aside from the color, they look like the ones pictured below. (I know what the white thing is used for it's the O-Rings that I am not sure about).
(The manual didn't tell me and I went onto the company website where it said the full manual was but couldn't find it.)
I just watched a review for this new RDA, and I'm very interested. Has anyone used/bought one yet? RT had issues with the o-rings failing which a cause for concern, but other than that it looks awesome. Lots and lots of airflow options.
Manufactured by Sparkle Technology which appears to the 'authentic' subdivision of Infinite, a well known producer of quality clones.
Features:
12 different adjustable airflow combinations.
22mm diameter.
Copper adjustable 510 connector.
PEEK internal AFC rings and base for optimal thermal regulation.
Engineered to create a vortex inside the chamber.
303 grade stainless steel.
Solid three post setup for durability on dual or single coil builds.

It ain't me... it's my cat begging me to make O-rings... Then she stares at it like seeing something for the first time and try's to catch it.
I'm a bit worried for her and the pg levels in the juices. I guess we are all "sinners"/stupid/idiots and do something that shortens our lifes...
Perhaps i should buy another tank/dripper with only 100% vg juice, just for the cat... lol..
Hi vapers.
So I wanted to change out the o-rings on my Crown IV tank as it has a bit of a leak when it's almost empty....
However, I can't figure out how I'm gonna get this o-ring out.
Any tips ?
Any ideas are much appreciated ! Thx !
EDIT: Got it out with a tiny dab tool !
Okay, so my partner and I have used the same Aspire Triton2 tanks for about 5 years now. They were never leak proof, but lately this problem has been getting worse and I am trying to see if the market has something better to offer. Other than the leaking problems, the Triton2 has been great. Here are some desired features that I hope to find in selecting a new rig: holds at least 3ml, long lasting coils that are affordable (around $3 ea), replaceable O rings would be nice, manufacturer that is not a fly-by-night, and hopefully leak-proof. Also I should note that I currently use 0.3ohm coils @ 38w and really have no need for very high wattage vapes.
If anyone knows of some tanks that fit the description above, I would be grateful for any suggestions on what to shop for.
Thank you and have a great Thanksgiving weekend!

I know, I know... this topic has been discussed to death. And, I am in the process of searching now.
I have a TFV8 tank that started leaking a week or two ago. I tried all the usual tricks (empty and clean all parts, don't over tighten, replace o rings, etc). Nothing helped. After a few days of covering the mod with a paper towel everytime I took a drag, I decided to buy a new tank. The new TFV8 arrived yesterday afternoon, and after checking it out and filling it with juice, it is doing the exact same thing.
We are not talking about a drop leaking here and there, it is leaking the whole tankful in less than two hours.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

The protruding collar on the hinged cap, where the drip tip is pushed onto, has a perished o ring. There are two tiny o rings here and the perished one means my drip tip falls off. I am not sure what I need to order to replace the o ring. Could someone with more knowledge than myself suggest to what I might need please? I am in the UK.
