    Believe it or not... My O-ring broke

    Yup on my 3ml icetool. I know things happen but I've never seen any threads of this ever happening. Before you guys start knocking me about not cleaning/lubrication properly I've been doing it religously per Chads maintenance video. It mighta been a hairline I didn't notice that got worse? Should I go to home depot or something? What size should I ask for? Oh and thankfully its still semi functional I'm able to just wrap it around and push it in carefully (Lmao I just read that back to myself) have any of you had yer o ring bust or am I the first documented case?

    sure hope you aren't pregnant







    Lord I'm sorry I didn't really mean to say that
    Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......





    I've been wrong lots of times.  Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.

      I would check Home Depot first. You should be able to get a package of them for about 2.00 or so. If they don't have it try a dive shop. I have a feeling they will probably be too large but they use O rings all the time and will probably just give you one.

        Lmao PP

        Vegan bro by Dive shop ya mean scuba? Here in San Antonio not too many lol. I'm originally from Miami where there are a bunch. I'll probably just head over to the HD with it and see if they can match it. By the way you need to ditch that ghetto tool and grab ya an icetool if you haven't already you'll love it.

          Yes, good scuba shops always carry O rings galore. In fact, you would be nuts to rent a tent and not ask for an extra O ring to bring with you. I also think that scuba O rings need to be made of a high quality rubber. I would love to have an Ice Tool but they are a bit out of reach price wise right now and I am waiting for them to make something a tool with a key chain ring on it so I can justify buying it to myself.

            If you have the original packaging ice tools come with an extra O-ring. It's kind of hiding in a small slot in the.... stuff the ice tool is packed in. I missed it when I first got the ice tool but someone here pointed it out.

              Yaaaaaay....Eric finally popped his O-ring, he's a man now ;-)

              I second the Home Depot or Lowes idea. I picked up a pack of them from Lowes earlier in the year, for my 4ml. I'm sure they'd have one for a 3ml too. Good luck finding one dude

                yep... gotta keep it lubed really well, don't want to blow your o-ring out... having no back pressure down there would suck... wait... we are talking about an actual o-ring here.... scratch my previous comment...

                http://www1.mscdirect.com/CGI/NNSRIT...51013&PMT4NO=0 try here... should be near exact to the factory dimensions including the actual thickness, 100 of them for like $8

                      If you know the gauge you need you can order from body piercing websites. They are used as backs for earrings on stretched lobes. I use bodyartforums.com in austin. In texas regular usps is next day delivery.

                        I adopted mine from Chad like a cabbage patch kid or one of those Pound puppies (80s toys reference) so no extra

                        And Lmao guys Yup I'm a man now. Definitely the snus equivalent of busting a hymen I'd say.

                        I'll update once I hit up Lowes or HD. For everyone's future reference.
