I'll be honest, I'm kinda glad to read this as I bought and vaped 15 of the Smoktech resurrectors a while back (yes, may be out of this "problem" time-frame) and I thought they were terrible. They held a *5 star review and I didn't want to be the only one saying they were crap so I kept quiet. Been back on Boge 2.0's ever since. Hope they get this all sorted out and you folks get some credit for your hard earned money spent.

1.5 DDC XL here.

So far out of two boxes (from two different vendors) I've had one shorted internally and one so full of filler it has an extremely hard draw. They also seem to not last very long before tasting funky (not burnt, more like a wet-towel aftertaste).

Next time I'll be ordering a different brand (Likely Boge 2.0's)

Boges are what I'm sticking with too! I got my new 15 pack and they are awesome!

Kind of similar to you I thought it was taste buds at first when I tried the Resurrectors because everyone spoke so highly of them. I did a lot of searching around the forums and was starting to see I wasn't the only one. I'm glad I contacted a vendor and found out that they changed their filling in the cartos! I'm also glad this is helping some of you!

I'm irritated with madvapes and won't purchase anything else from them anymore. Their customer service stinks. I tried telling them that all my cartos from them tasted bad and they gave me a lame reply stating that 1 in 5,000 cartos fail and they order from a reputable supplier. Whatever! :evil:

i AM SO GLAD i STOPPED BY TO READ THIS THREAD.
I have order a zillion and two smoktech cartos in the past few months and I have been so disapointed.
I got the dual coils LR, normally I would be very happy with my purchase but ya know what, ive been thru 2 boxes, and have had all of them work but just do not taste as good as i'm used to. I thot maybe it was the VV Mod I was using, adjusted the voltage, too high, too low, put it back on my Riva, (good ol' pinkie) and still, blah.......
So I have been so frustrated thinking it was me.

to the OP, Thanks for sharing and letting this ol gal know it's not her, she's not going completely bonker's, it's the carto's

and, how dare they !!! LOL

I have several more boxes coming in the mail, I ordered these awhile ago, and can't cancel so if anyone comes up with a fix, share!!!!

A very temporary semi-permanent fix is to clean them. I boiled them in water for 20 minutes and then flushed each carto out by putting them inside a turkey baster. It doesn't solve the situation but it makes them decent enough to vape in case of emergency.

I don't think it's an electric issue. The Smoktech rep told the vendor I contacted that they changed the filler (so actually I have no idea if it's even the same polyfill) to create a more dense faster wicking material? It sounds like they made a bad decision! I'm just glad I found out why they all tasted bad and am hopefully able to help other people from wasting their money like I did.
Thanks for the heads up! Now I know I'll be purchasing more Boge XXL 2.0 ohm cartos!

Note, if you are going to comment on customer service then that changes this to a Review and this thread will be moved to Reviews of Suppliers so the Suppliers can respond....other members will lose access to commenting there.

Keep the topic on the cartomizers and it can stay here.

Thank you
