Hello Zamazam, i have the specs, the deck , inner dia.=14.5mm- outter dia.= 16.5 mm , thickness = 1mm. The top cap ID =17.5mm . OD=22mm. thickness = 2.25 mm. the company was nice enough to give me the specs, i cannot do the math to equate the correct o rings i need. maybe you can help . anything you can do , i would be grateful . sincere regards .Frank D.

I would think a 2 to 2.5 mm thick, 16mm Oring should do the job.

So, what type/material of o-ring did you get? I know they have several options. I know, for my Helis, I can use the red silicone. However, don't know, which kind I could get for an RDA.

sorry i didn't give the details, which no dough were in order after all. Mary from( O rings and more). helped as i was kinda lost, i advised i am a vaper, she said oh yes we do a great deal of business with the vaping community I was like great , to my self, long story short . she said that vapers mostly use the red silicone rings, they have the heat capability. Thats what i ordered , silicone, 2mm by 16 mm, red, bag of 25pcs. 8 bucks deliverd. its really good to know we have a source for little things that can stop the show, and are hard to find, if i didn't come here i would still be searching. its one of those things u don't worry about till you need it. like flash light batteries. in my house ,they all wait till all my maglites are dead, its dark , the power is out , I'm holding a 10 pound bag of dead batteries? vape on brothers..

Rings came today , Did not fit! i had spoke with mary and went over the specs, after chatting here, we concluded the 16mm x 2mm red silicone would do the trick. NO good, they fit the top cap were the drip tip sits , not the tip ring the whole top platform, i do not think that ring will ever go bad, and i have an extra. i put a call in to get the right size I'm thinking 16mm x 1mm OR 1.5 mm ? I'm going to wind up with a draw full of orings before I'm done. i will advise the out come, so to save someone else the money and time lost. its all on me, As Mary was kind and very helpful , will speak with her later.

Been away for a bit, found my new o rings in mail, mary from o rings and more sent me the 1mm x 16 mm, Red silicone, she wanted me to try the 1.5 x 16, i felt they would not work, as the 2mm were way to big they fit the (chuff cap) if thats the correct term. the top flat plate that the drip tip sits in perfect , the 2mm rings I'm referring to. so long story short the 1mm x 16 mm fit better than what came from segelei . they are snug and fit nice with just a touch of lube,(juice). perfect, i decided to keep the 2mm x 16 as she was kind enough to give me free ship on the second round. i will post up in the trade section for any who need them . problem solved. thanks to all who helped me, also to this forum ... VAPE ON.

They definitely have good customer service. I bought various o-ring sizes of the red silicone kind, for my 3 smaller Helicopters, that's how I learned about them (through my Heli forum). I'm glad you got your problem solved. And thanks for the update!
