510 drip tip o-rings, where to find, what dimensions, ect

[Shadav]

I've tried to search and came up with some old threads but no luck
short of walking into a hardware store and just trying them on my drip tips
anyone have any ideas?
from what I gathered but not sure if it's accurate as someone bought what was suggested and said it didn't work
that they were 6mmx1.5mm
so any help would be nice
needing to replace a few as they aren't fitting properly anymore
I did try wrapping dental floss around them and that worked for about a day
I've already almost lost my favorite drip tip many of times in my van and really do not want to lose it permanently, I've chased it across my hallway floor a few times, ect....

Getting a set of o-rings for the tank that should include the drip tip ring is probably easier. The main problem is some are thick rings and some are thin rings. the diameter isn't all that matters.

These are the right size for 510 drip tips but may be thick or thin

Best bet would be to take your drip tip and current O ring and tank (check fit) down to:

and let the man behind the counter in Westfield see what he has in stock.

Not really. There are a few different sizes used on 510 drip tips. Some larger, some fatter, ect. I always measure mine with calipers when I look for o-rings. Inner diameter, outter diameter, and thickness.
