Thank you @inspects
I had seen this list Goggling ...

I am not seeing the Bottom Cap o-ring in that list so I Posted here asking..

When you unscrew the Bottom Before you Pull out the Deck
there is a o-ring that doesn't fit tight and they are real easy to lose!!!

You're talking about the bottom cap which screws onto the atty to hold the atomizer in correct?

There are actually 2 o-rings on the bottom cap. Look again. there is one inside small o-ring that butts up against the 510/bottom of the deck AND one that goes on the outer threads of the bottom cap.

The person who provided the list of o-rings for the Boreas is the woman that designed it...I think she knows. Also I just took the bottom of mine and...there they are, 2 o-rings.

Take a closer look. It could be you are missing BOTH of them. But that would probably be leak city.

OK wait Sorry my Bad.
The one I Need is the inside small o-ring that butts up against the 510/bottom of the deck,
I was getting confused it didn't seem like the replies I was getting were related to what I needed..
I do see the other one now, Sorry.

So it the inside oring I need then it FITS Very Loose and Real Easy Lose!
Sounds like its the 11 x 1.2

And I had no idea I was communicating with the designer Sorry for my Misunderstanding!

No problem JM66...that outside one is easy to miss! Especially if you have the black Boreas with a black o-ring!! LOL
Yeah, the one you want is the 11x1.2 that fits the inside ... yes, easy to lose when washing up the unit. I keep my thumb in there when I am rinsing it out!

The designer is a woman named Roxy...you can see her name on the bottom of the Boreas AND Merlin. She used to be on this thread all the time and was extra helpful to all of us Boreas owners.

Good luck with yours, my 3 are fantastic vapes.

That's a damn shame! I wonder if any of the people over on the Boreas thread know where to get them. I know there is an o-ring store online.

Let me see what I can find.

I even wrote Augvape So I will wait and hear from them.

Its sad I like the tank a lot.

John, I believe that will work fine. It will be a bit thicker, but that should make it stay tight in the groove better!
