For the second time now, one of my Volcano (easy valve) chambers has mysteriously lost its blue rubber o-ring that provides a seal around the connection between the chamber and the bag. The first time around, I searched for a replacement o-ring and eventually gave up, buying a complete accessory kit (bags, new chamber, screens, etc) which is incredibly expensive.
This time, I'm really hoping to find a better solution. There *MUST* be identical or sufficiently similar o-rings in the right size out there....I'm completely sure of it. The trick is to find one that is *known* to do the job, so I'm not wasting time, money and energy trying out a bunch of them before I find one that works.
Obviously, the lack of this o-ring seal lets vapor escape....and that's wasteful not to mention that it compromises stealth. I can't be the only one with this problem; let's figure it out together so that nobody has to pay $100-$200 just to get a replacement O-ring when they don't really need new bags or a new chamber!
