Can I use rubber bands as O ring for atomizer?

[PedramCarter]

Mine is quite worn out, I can see little ripped pieces dangling inside the atomizer, still usable.
I have spares that came with it.
Wondering they're just rubber rings, if I buy correct size rubber bands can I just snap em on? or do they have to be specific ones for atomizer.

I'm gonna ask the plumbing guy at the Home Depot. Yo, can I fix my toilet with rubber bands ?

I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not, but the rubber bands I got with the atomiser have little square patterns with tiny holes in them, not sure if design or for purpose, thats why I asked.

Just use the spares and get some more. They are cheap.

I would not use them.

I would just use the spares that came with the device in the first place.

Or you can go to an ACE/Truvalue hardware store as they do stock a small selection of O-rings.

Lol Personally I wouldn't use rubber bands if they even kept the atomizer from leaking. Rubber bands taste terrible.

Hold the rubber band and the oring over an open flame...the one that catches on fire is the one you do NOT want to use

 

[SirRichardRear]

What tank do you have?

 

[MyMagicMist]

One, two, three. Being poor I live frugally. None of the links proceeding are for products over $10 USD. The question becomes then, why would you desire using rubber bands?

I suppose a majority have said it rubber bands are a poor option to use as o-rings on a tank, so moving thread to "what not to do area"
