Out of seven I've used (from the first full production run and initial V2 production), only 2 have cracked to a point where leaking was an issue. That however, was only after weeks of repeated heavy use.

These things last longer than any "disposable" product has a right to. Even some that I thought were well past their time came back to a very acceptable level with heavy dry-burning (which, I might add, other products would most likely not have been able to withstand.

No other product I've used even comes close to the performance, consistency, and longevity of Stardusts.

If they stop them from cracking and Vape better, these will be a huge winner.

teh cracking ill agree with on older versions and if oyu use acidic juice, other then that they dont have issues, and they vape just fine, again if there was inconsistancied with vaping i would credit that to the rush back in feb and that big batch everyone recieved, since then i dont see issues, they vape and work extremely well and thats the reason why they are now the number selling carto ever.

They don't stand up to dry burning as well as the fluxos (IMO). I only dry burn until it barely glows orange, and only do that every other tank fill. I have three in rotation and they've started to taste burnt no matter how long I soak them in peroxide or alcohol.

Still awesome cartos, though. If I ever get off my ..., I'll buy rewicking tools. It looks relatively easy.

Mine have cracks but it hasn't affected anything.

What I want from a Stardust: lower resistance.

Yep, there were some cracking issues with that batch with some cracked on delivery, but it seems like the last batch was much better as far as I can tell from the forums. I finally placed an order and I feel pretty confident that I'll love this one a lot more than I did the last one.

I don't know what "batch" we are on right now, but I got some of these when they came back from being unavailable for a long time (mid February) and the very first one I used was amazing for a couple tank fills.... and now I can't get any of them to work at all.. tried new ones... tried cleaning some... and I thought this would fix all my vaping problems but still the same thing... no flavor/nasty flavor... unless you let it sit for an hour between each puff (which I assume is because none of the juice is traveling through the wick, could be wrong though) and I'm starting to think its something I'm doing. All of them have formed micro cracks, some have cracked all the way through and leaked, one of which was after just one fill and the threads in the mouthpiece seem defect. After a while you go to tighten it on and the mouthpiece just spins... the second one I unpackaged just came that way. They kind of look like the wicks might be a bit long as they are mashed up against the outside tube and if you look at the coils new or used of the batch I got they look kinda messed up... like bent, not uniform and pushed to one side of the wick in the center tube. I keep telling myself "its the break in period" but I don't think it is because I have been trying to fight through the nastiness (and vape it alot) to empty this same tank fill for 3 days and the quantity in the tank has only moved about .2ml. I'm afraid to keep opening new stardusts (still have a few unopened) and have them continue not work. I just want SOMETHING, anything that works because stardust or other clearomizer I keep having the same result... works good initially.. then doesn't work at all. I don't want to use filler cartos because they keep leaking on me which I am inclined to believe its because I'm probably overfilling them ( I do try not to though) but it seems like I have to refill them after like 15 minutes of vaping regardless of their advertised capacity. I'm really discouraged and fighting throwing in the towel but I just don't know how long I can keep this up.
