Kayfun lite o rings got bigger ?

[MesaMitch]

Hey guys had a kayfun lite now for about 3 - 4 weeks

For some strange reason I don't know why the I ring I have been using got HUGE do I always have to buy replacement o rings for my kayfun ?? This is the o ring that connects the top with the evaporation chamber so it doesn't leak if you put it upside down

Here is a picture

On the left is the o ring I never used on the right is my old o ring

Thanks guys for any help because I need to find a place that sells o rings in bulk then lol

In some juices, acidic compounds can cause o-rings to swell. Change juice, stock up on o-rings... or find a more resistant o-ring. There have been chats about HBNR, Viton and EPDM o-rings as a possible up-grade from the usual nitrile found in a variety of toppers.

Just a tip for others that have this issue. I measured one of the extra orings from the russian 99%. It measured 8mm OD 4.5mm ID and 1.7mm CS. These seem to stretch in less then a week. I ordered 8mm OD 5mm ID 1.5mm CS and the cap is not only easier to screw on but there is no leaking and no stretching. I ordered 100pc from mcmaster carr for $4.55. Bonus they can double as drip tip orings for most of my drip tips.

Any long term reports on how this replacement size worked out for you? My stock oring stretched, as did my replacement. Id like to stock up on these.

Any other folks order some bulk replacement rings and have recommendations?

I know there is lots of places that sell o rings but I have little clue as to what material is needed or size. I have searched the internet but no luck. I am temped to send a set of o rings to a supplier and see if they can match them up. If I go this route I'll post answers on my findings

You want nitrile. I got them and they work great
