I only know of them as a kit from:
Here
You have 3mm inlet to the nozzle, and 3mm PTFE style.

Actually, and IMHO, it's better to use heating heads without a PTEF tube; an all metal nozzle in my experience is more reliable, robust and easier to maintain.

Ah, it's a typical problem. The PTFE wears out. You should have a tight fit when you try to remove/install it. If it's loose, you got to flip the side and use the unwear one, or just buy the PTFE. The rostock max V2 use this type of device and wears out from time to time.
When it wears out, filament will leak between the PTFE/extruder, and will jam/leak everywhere ruining your prints.

I just ordered some 3mm OD, 2mm ID PTFE tube and 2 new nozzles for each extruder! Hoping it will fix it!
One quick question, tried to loosen the right extruder (the one I don't really use) by loosening the grub screw holding it in place at the aluminium block, when I went to tighten it I did it too tight unfortunately and stripped some threads, stupid mistake. Should I get a new aluminium block or a larger grub screw?

Mine was without PTFE liner when I got it, I fitted ones with the liner and it improved a lot. It's a Wanhao.
