I've had two straight from MV, one that was 1.2-1.3ohms and one that was 1-1.1 ohms. The Smoketech QC is out of control, no pun intended. From one carto to the next I'll get two weeks with great draw and consistent resistance and the next carto I'll get something like I mentioned previously or a carto that clogs or oversaturates to the point of leakage/gurgling that can't be used again. Or a carto that just won't wick or draw. When they work, they are awesome in tanks but they are so inconsistent. Perhaps that could be passed along to the manufacturers, who, I realize, are probably having to pump these out at a record pace to satisfy demand.
EDIT: Since apparently I wasn't clear, I am noting the variability and quality control issues, given that these are supposed to be 1.5ohm +/-.2. In these cases I noted in the first sentence, I wonder even if they didn't put the new 1.25ohm cartos in there and not tell anybody (smoketech, not MV). The only thing I can use a 1 ohm DC on is an eGo or a big battery 4.2V mod, and on an eGo that's real good for ruining batteries and on a 4.2 battery that's putting a pretty heavy amperage draw on the battery so it's not ideal.
