I have to think he means poppit b/c the post o-rings are cheap and easy to find. the poppit rubber/plastic part is probably hard to find (hence most people just replace the whole poppit).

Right, replacing poppet O rings is almost impossible.Just buy a new poppet.

Agreed. I have never seen poppet o-rings for sale. Might be a nice thing though because the last time I priced poppets they were nearly as expensive as kegs.

Yes, I was referring to the poppet. Someone was working on punching out some. I forget who. They had a sheet of gasket material laying around.Northern Brewer has poppet still listed for under $5. Guess I'll just pick up a couple sets of each.

yea, the price for poppets can be ridiculous at some online retailers. I bought 10 cornelius poppets for 25 dollars off ebay, and I think I bought the firestone ones from northernbrewer for around 3-4 dollars a piece. I have a lot of kegs, so I like to keep them on hand for when I need to replace a poppet.
