I heard when using EK barbs with a Storm that its important to use the O-ring from the origional swiftech barbs. I noticed that the EK barbs have a smaller O-ring. I'm assuming I replace the EK O-ring with the Swiftech one or I am I supposed to use both?

I have the Storm rev2 with the EK barbs. I used BOTH o-rings since the smaller EK o-rings are slightly recessed. It has never leaked and just looks right.
 
Actually using both is a bad idea... just use the SWIFTECH o-rings and you will be good to go.
