Boges should be here Monday or Tuesday, suppose to have shipped yesterday, but she just sent labels for my to verify early this morning..
Slow thread... What is the resistance of the Mega dual coil cartos for the 3.7-6 volt? Are they 2.5s?
Never mind, those are the 1.5s with the two 3.2 coils.

Ok, I'll try and add something constructive. Here's the text from my review of the Resurrectors which will be hitting my site ( http://www.SteveVape.com ) in a couple hours. I'll post the direct link after it's published so it can be viewed with pretty pictures and formatting and stuff.
Dual coil cartomizers have become increasingly popular since they hit the market not long ago. One of the limitations of the dual coil models is that they work best at higher voltages. The 1.7 ohm XL cartomizer is a single coil solution from the same manufacturer that aims to level the playing field for users without a high voltage electronic cigarette option.
In fact, the examples I am reviewing have been dubbed "the 3.7 resurrector" by the vendor from where these were purchased, Crystal Clear Vaping. The reason behind the claim is that the seller believes that these cartos will resurrect the performance of 3.7 volt e-cigarette rigs. The Resurrector does a good job of bringing something close to the performance of a dual coil cartomizer running at 5 volts to a standard 3.x volt electronic cigarette.
Design
No mistaking which model this is
The resurrector is a pretty unassuming cartomizer. It is an XL model so it caries about 1.5 ml of eliquid. This model is available in black (which means a black sticker over a stainless steel casing). Crystal Clear Vaping also has the resistance of the cartomizer printed on the label so you will know what exactly you have.
The construction is solid as the casing is made of steel. Unlike my dual coil I wasn't able to pull this one apart. Like the dual coil models, this design features a vertical heating coil surrounded by heat proof batting which holds the juice and delivers it to the coil. A tube runs down the center to the coil to deliver vapor to the user. Filling is pretty much the same as any other fillered cartomizer, these can be filled by the "condom method" dripping and a lot of patience, or syringe filling. I generally go with the syringe.
Experience
I think it might be a little bit of a stretch to say this offers the same level of performance as a dual coil model running at high voltage. However, the performance bests that of a dual coil running on a standard voltage electronic cigarette. This thing produces a ton of vapor and a very respectable throat hit out of devices like the eGo and Lea. Flavor production is no slouch either.
The vapor heat may be the biggest difference between the dual coil and the 1.7 models. While the vapor is warm, it is much less warm than the output of the dual coils, especially at higher voltages. This is likely because the design is somewhat more efficient than dual coils so less energy is converted to heat in the process.
Standard filler design
The performance results were pretty similar with various 3.x volt devices. I used the Resurrectors several different devices ranging from 3.2 to 3.7 volts in output. The 1.7 ohm cartomizers have been spending a lot of time on the Boge Revolution V.2 as I put that devices through its paces and beyond.
Despite this carto being neither clear nor overly huge, I can't seem to put it down. Of course with this device being such a low resistance model, my experience was that time between charges on my batteries dropped to about half of what they are with standard resistance models.
Too Long; Didn't Read
The SmokTech 1.7 ohm XL "Resurrector" cartomizers are designed to deliver good performance at lower voltages. The experience may be a little bit shy of what you would get with a dual coil at higher voltages, but it's easily at least as good if not better than dual coils on 3.2 - 3.7 volt devices. These will drain your battery at a fairly rapid clip, but not your bank account as they are generally less expensive than their bigger dual coiled siblings.

I co-sign that, great review, also i no problems cleaning cartos to practically like new status, easily get a month outta a carto, if the coil doesn't burn out before that.
I tried to clean one via disassembly (and also to take a picture of the innards for the review) but the dang thing was so tough it wouldn't come apart like the steel CE2s or anything, ended up busting part of the connector off in my 510 battery I use for such tasks.
Thanks for the compliments guys, I appreciate it. Considering I have tons of different atties and cartos I'm cycling through to write about, yet I keep going back to this one, I think it's a pretty decent product
You can keep my money, sir!

I agree totally, I got all sorts of hv mods and dual coils, haven't used in months, just this resurrector on a 1100 Riva just more then satisfying, plus length between re-fills, makes it a winner.
I've been using them on my Revolution, so I'm not even sure how long they last. I'm a stupidly heavy vaper, so I'm sure I'd go through a number of refills on a normal PV
