Well, the 4mm was too small but this fit perfectly:  Borosilicate Glass Tubing 5MM Outer Diameter.  I have like a zillion feet of it as it came in 1ft lengths as a pack of 10.

The O-rings mentioned were a bust, though I did use one on each side then used @komet163b suggestion of using twisted Teflon tape.  One side seems perfectly sealed and the other is going to weep a little if I don't try it again.  Needless to say if I break the glass again I'll have lots glass tubing in stock!

Now I have to figure out a heater, got my bother's Jensen in today and it is way to long.
