Somewhere between .100 and .105

I've been searching high and low for a string set (nickles or stainless) that has the E string gauge in between 100 and 105. All the sets I've come across are this way. I did actually find D'Addario Select strings with a Gauge of .102. I bought the 2 sets that were there, but I haven't seen them since and I can't find any info on them anywhere. These felt and played really nice for me.

I play tuned down to Eb so the Lights that I usually play (.100) are too floppy. I tried using .105's (mediums) but these seem really fat and are unusually hard to play on.

Goldylocks needs an in-between set!!!! If anyone knows where to find some weirdo gauges...please let me in!

Various Ken Smith string sets use a .102. And I believe at JustStrings, you can buy single .102's

I use GHS pressurewounds. They make a .44-.102 that are excellent and smoother to the touch than roundwounds.
