Check out the "Ressurector" Cartos from CCV. They are incredible. They are single coil but many feel they produce vapor comparable to a dual coil. I use them daily and love them. They hold 2ml of juice so they generally last all day. Also since Ive started using them I havent gotten one DOA or bad one yet, and thats from prob about 15-20 5-packs. They are designed specifically for a 3.7V PV and work great on my E-Power. They also work very well on a Riva. I fnd them to be most consistant carto ive used. They come in black, Stainless Steel, or clear. And the fact that they are only about 50 cents more than the boges, I dont think you can go wrong with them


Rwnielsen,
You have nothing to worry about. Thats one of the great things about getting your cartos from CCV. He guarantees all carto purchases. If you have a problem, call him and he will take care of it. His customer service is awesome.

I've been a Boge 2.0Ω fan for a while now. Yes, the filler density is inconsistent, but I get far more in usable condition than not. I get about 2 weeks use, or roughly 30mls, out of them.

To contrast, I've found the SmokTech 2.0Ω and DC cartos to be much more consistent in the filling material. They are easier to fill, especially initially. However, I'm very lucky if I get a week out of them - and even then, I have to clean them after 2-3 days because the draw gets too tight.

I've been using Boge's standard and LR for the past 2 months. Haven't had any problems with them but have noticed some are not packed as well as others - a few are straggly with the fibers actually covering the air hole to the point I take a toothpick and re-stuff the fibers.

On the other hand I just picked up 4 Smoketec LR's recently to try them and 1 of was defective. The slot was missing on the battery end of the coil/tube projection. You can see it in this picture. OK - very small sample, just 4, so this could quite be a minor issue w/ Smoketec QC - not trying to say this is a general issue with Smoketecs. 2nd from left is the defective one, didn't notice it until I had filled it and but it on the batt - had a very tight draw. Couldn't figure out what was wrong until I noticed the 'missing slot'.

All I've used since day one of vapeing is Boge cartos, they are inconsistent, seems like one out of ten doesn't fire. Using them in a Liquinator. Also noticed some last alot longer than others, even using the same juice all the time. Since Boge has been all I have used, I just thought that is the way cartos were going to be? Must be better ones out there?

Thats the same thing i hate about the smoketech DC's .By the time your done with the initail fill the draw is incredibly tight .After like two or so top offs its like no hittable . The resurrectors are one of the only cartos i havent tried .Since i vape at higher voltages and they are made for 3.7 devices at 1.7 really . Iv never had any problems with filler density on the boge well at least less of a issue then other cartos and i vape vg base juices . Pg in a boge just saturates the filler so fast you would thing theres no filler in there . lol . I do like the smoktech EMDCC's that madvapes sell too but there are a few little issue like dripping out the bat end on the initial fill, not as much flavor as a boge .It kind of lightens my juices flavors up . Somtimes you get a bad one and lose 4ml's a juice too .Another reason why i like the boges since they only hold 35drops or 3/4 of a large condom . I usually toss the boges out after 5-6 days as soon as i get even a little tightening up of the draw since i got so many and only paid 58 cents a piece .I could easily go another 5 days or so before chucking though. I also rate a carto by how much crackle and popping it does and nothing beats the boge there . When its nice and loud i know its working great . Boge are super easy on the intial fill using Pbusardos condom method . I literally dont waste a single drop and dont even need to wipe off or blow out the air tube . 35 drops everytime . 30 in the condom and 5 drops in the mouthpiece side because the filler there is not even wet yet after the condom . Then i give it a little thermo shake and go vape . Iv never had one fail to fire or have any problem out of about 60 now . I did pop one after 14 days of heavy use at 6v .

I have bought my Boge 2.0 from Crystal Clear Vaping and have never had a problem with them, they have all worked great. I also like getting them from there because they have the ohm rating on the carto itself, so it's easy to determine which carto I'm using. Another plus, they always have free shipping and they ship very quickly.

arent the Resurrectors from CCV the same as the 1.5 dual coil XL smoktek cartos? if they are i will definitely switch vendors for the 15 carto deal. currently i get 10 for $18, less shipping

im really liking the 1.5ohm dual coil XL smoktek carts. although my first 5 pack had 3 that werent working properly. i tried some of the smoktek 1.25ohm, they work nicely but they gum up quicker and the juice has a very slight burnt taste. 1.5 works best for me on my SLB kGo.

even after boiling out the cartos to try to clean them they dont really work the same. i constantly vape and i go through 2 1100mah batteries a day. so these carts last maybe 5 days

Thanks, I've got some resurrectors as well. I also vape at higher voltages, so I need to remember to turn down the voltage when I'm using one, or it'll burn immediately. Don't ask me how I know this... The draw seems a bit tighter on the R's than my Boge, and I don't like it as much.

I still have a bunch of Boge sr's, and I'm going to try out some Smoktech single coils as well.

Well i loved my boges for a while but now it seams that they only last a day the filler is always differant and the hole clogs quick. I have about had it with them to be honest but did not no what to try next. The taste is not there after about 10ml of juice and sometimes i see myself going through a 5 pac trying to get the one that taste right not sure what up but i agree with the qc issue and i get mine from liberty flights.

Let us know how the Smoktech's work compared to the Boges.

I agree, nothing is better and they last a very long time.
I will, but it'll probably take a bit of time to formulate an overall opinion. I imagine I'll have a 1st impression, and then a long term opinion. I know one thing, cartotanks are da bomb, as long as the carto works...

I use Smoktech XL 2.0ohm LR cartos... no dual or quadruple coil things :laugh: I absolutely love them because they're much bigger than Boges and they absorb juice when first filling them much quicker than a Boge could ever. I use Boges as back-up if I need to buy other stuff like driptips since I get my cartos at a juice vendor, so I'm not saying Boges are horrible; I just prefer smoktechs.

Are the Ressurectors a rebranded version (same as) the Smoktech 2.0s?

No the Ressurectors are 1.7ohm LR Single Coil and hold alittle over 2ml of juice. They also are wrapped more loosely than most other cartos. I find they work better for thicker juices than some other cartos since the polyfill is looser.

This is also to answer the person that asked if the 1.5ohm Dual Coils were the same. While the Ressurectors are single coil, I feel they produce vapor similar to a dual coil, and they dont drain your battery like a DC. I actually like the Ressurectors better than DCs. I find some dual coils dull the flavors or your juices. The Resuurectors give great flavor and last a long time if filled correctly. Ive been using the same Ressurector for 4 and a half weeks with a juice that is 85% VG

I use Boge's and duel coil SmokeTechs. I find the Boge's warmer then the SmokeTech's. The ST obviously can hold a lot more juice for me being duel coil. For whatever reason, I myself prefer Boge cartos. I don't notice much if any a difference in performance so I'll stick with Boge's seeing as they're cheaper.
