I recently purchased 15 of the Smoktech 1.7ohm single coil non-punched stainless steel Resurrector carts. I have not yet used any of them. The wrapping around each cart is clear plastic. Are these the carts that are 'nasty tasting'? This was a first time purchase for me and I purchased them due to the excellent reviews here on ECF. Am I about to be terribly disappointed???

I haven't found them to be "nasty tasting", but they sure are not the same as before. All of mine came in clear plastic wrapping. In the past, these cartos had great lasting power. Now I'm lucky to get two days using one in a tank. Contacted the vendor I purchased them from, and of course, I was the only person who had reported any problems. (Gosh, why am I always the only one who notices problems? LOL) They offered no suggestions nor the option to return the unused ones. There definitely is something wrong with the "new" poylfill. They choke off, gunk up, or whatever you want to call it so quickly now. Think it's time to check out other vendors and brands. SmokTek seems to have shot themselves in the foot with whatever they did to these once great cartos. I'm very disappointed with them.
I hope not but those are the same ones I ordered.
It's ok, usually only 1 in 10,000 cartos fail.
I feel so lucky getting those few cartos that have failed.....LOL. I guess someone has to be the punching bag, so why not me? Just don't understand why if they had a product that was working fine they had to change it. Like a fool, I bought a bunch so I'd have plenty in reserve. Wonder if they will get better with age like a fine red wine? Probably not......

i thought it was my juice.. sigh.. im glad i ordered the boge for the homeless batch..

Yes, NOT to rub salt into wounds but the Boge 2.0's are proven cartos for sure. When I had these that were bad / short lived I just got used to having to change them every 2 days, rather than the usual week and when they were gone they were gone.
They say they changed nothing??? I'm in no position to argue that. However the point remains....They need to change something
Mmm Boges. I haven't had one Boge fail on me yet.
Right, I don't know 100% that they changed the polyfill so I can't promise that they didn't change it but that is the information I received from another vendor. I would think after seeing this thread the vendor that said I was spreading rumors will think twice...

Keekers.... I heard the same thing about the change of the composition of the polyfill from someone I trust. I don't feel you are spreading rumors one bit. I can demonstrate it to myself with my "pre-change" 1.7's and the new ones. The new ones don't have near the lasting power of the "pre-change" cartos. That is proof enough for me. The new polyfill seems to expand and choke off the air tube. The mfg. is only hurting their rep. by not admitting they did do something.
I feel so bad about recommending the 1.7's to friends and then to have this change come out of the blue. Makes me mad and I don't know who to trust anymore -- I wonder if the even vendors can get a straight answer from the mfg. I'm sure the peeps I talked to are wondering who to trust too!!!! Doubt that I'm very high on their list anymore...... LOL
Just curious..... are the XL Boges approx. 45 mm in length not counting the threads? Thinking of trying them in my tanks if that is the case. I've never had a problem with the Boges either and didn't have problems with the 1.7's until recently.
PS... Go Blue!!!!!!

Filled a 3rd new resurrector today and so far so good. However, I will have to see how long they last...
I just received some 2 Ohm Boge "XL" Cartomizers from Big Daddy with my Who's Your Daddy Tank.
They measure 44 mm on the Tube.
Though the Tank recommends Resurrectors, they work fine if the Drip Tip does not extend beyond the width of the Cartomizer. The drip tip sits down in the Tank 1 mm, and the O Rings are far enough down on the Cap that there is no problem with the seal.
It appears, from looking at numerous sites, that there are really only two size Boges. The standard and the "XL", which is now being called "XXL".
I have not seen a site that lists any Boges as being 45 mm, and few list the actual tube length, just stating XL or XXL.
If anyone knows of a site that lists Boges that are 45 mm, pleae chime in.

P.S. One thing with the Boge is that I have not had the flooding that I have been having with the Smok Tech. I shouldn't have said this, as you know what is going to happen. (I use 50/50 juice).

Actually within 45 mm will work for me, doesn't have to be dead on @ 45. I'm using home made tanks, so I can adjust the size of the tank to fit the carto when I cut the material. Thanks, WA3PNT for the info about the Boges. I am getting good and confused with all the different descriptors being used with the cartos. Be nice if somehow things could be standardized so XL would mean a certain length for eg. Would make it much easier when trying to figure out what will work with what. (hope that last statement made sense....lol)
I got bit by the 1.7 Resurrector weirdness. Loved them and recommended them, but last batch of 15 I went through 3 in a row of burnt, nasty, chemical taste so ordered Boge's (the rest of the Resurrectors are siting in the drawer). I'm using the standard length Boge's in my DCT V2 tanks (I keep 4 full to swap flavors). They are too short for the tank, but with a long barrel drip tip (straight sides) they work like a champ! The drip tip is the same diameter as a carto so seals on the top of the tank. They're actually easier to fill.
Sitting here laughing my .... off when I read your last sentence. After I made the above post, I "filled" my Who's Yo Daddy". Well, kind of. Front of my shirt and jeans got most of the juice. The inner O Rings on the Big Daddy Tanks are a SOB. Ripped one the first time I put the Carto in, and that was after lubricating the O Rings with juice.
Had the Carto on an eGo battery, and was pushing the tank back down, and it went completely off the bottom ot the Carto and dumped the juice. After that I cut down a ring that I had for the outer eGo Battery treads so that it was 10mm high (the height of the threads). Now when I push a Tank back onto the Carto, the Tank cannot go beyound the bottom of the Carto tube.
I ordered the Slap Yo Mamma from Big Daddy, and that will help when filling any tank, as I will not have to push the Carto down as far to get the juice around the Carto and into the Tank.

Another P.S. I just measured the Boge 2.0 Ohm XXL Cartomizer that came in the Sub Tank that I received today, and it measures 44 mm. It was specifically stated as a XXL on the Mon & Pop Site.

It is striking me as really odd reading the different complaints about the 1.7's. I've not had the bum taste yet, but having problems with the filler material. It stinks now and I do not mean odor stink.....lol. I can just about watch the filler start to expand after I put juice in the carto. I've also noticed that the filler material does not completely fill the tube when dry like you see with the Boges -- the filler in them is nice and tight like the 1.7's used to be. There always is a gap between the filler and the side of the tube in the new 1.7's -- at least the ones I received. I'm starting to wonder if the mfg. did this knowing the filler would expand upon getting juice on it, but there is no way they can account for different viscosity juices, different juice compositions, etc. Problem is, it doesn't know when to stop expanding and I have a pile of useless cartos that I can not get a decent draw with. Sort of like watching my cartos having anaphylactic shock and no meds available to give them to keep their "throats" open to breathe and live. (Sorry for the lousy analogy)
What a shame -- I thought I found the "perfect" device for all vaping situations but it looks like I'm back on the hunt again.

I got the new ones myself and am none too happy with them. Harder draw from the get go. Been using these for 6 months straight before the change and one crapped out after 4 hours today on a light juice. I know the proper way to fill and handle these and I agree something has changed here for sure. I will be examining the filter carefully for visible changes as I vape. Bought the Ressurector Juniors last month and I am lucky to get 2 days out of them on any juice so I thought I'll go back to my old standby the Ressurector size---the vendor says no changes I don't believe it I used to get days and days out of these not 4 hours.
