I'm not usually so gullible, and I usually pick up on humor pretty quickly (being the wise-... that I am). Sorry, Jeremy, if I missed any indication of your sarcasm. ;) You sounded pretty sincere to me.

I think I may need to be a little clearer about this. The carto that had the stiffer draw was a "SMOKETECH" Dual Coil 3.0 ohm from a different vendor. The fix takes about 5 seconds. With a diamond edge 1/8th inch bit make the valley deeper. EASY !!!! If people don't like the tight draw by all means call smoketech,send them a email, text em, whatever.... but definitely let them know in anyway you can,but in NO way is it ANY vendors fault that smoketech changed anything....if they knowingly even did change anything. If all else fails ....CHANGE CARTOS, their are many different kinds available now to suite anyone's preferences. Change cartos till you find out that its back to normal , or that nothing was changed to begin with. Take care ALL.

K, I barely have a screwdriver. Is there anything sorta common householdy that might do the same thing? I'm not even sure which valley you mean, off hand. Top of carto, bottom? rofl I'm clueless. But very interested in fixing mine.

If you look at the bottom of the carto center pole piece (positive center circle) the round part inside the outer thread wall. It has a straight indented line through the middle of it , almost like a flat head screwdriver would be used to turn it. This is the valley that air flows thru when the carto is screwed down to your pv. If you put a Boge carto next to a smoketech,bottoms up, you can see the Boge has a deeper cut air flow "valley" the Smoketech has a more shallow valley. Reason why Boges have a more airy draw,more air can flow thru the deeper valley than a shallow one. I lay my dremel with a diamond edge 1/8th inch grinding spool all the way across the entire bottom of the carto and make a deeper valley from edge to edge,outer thread wall to outer thread wall,threads included. Heres a pic of the tip I use and the before and finished look of the carto after I do it. It literally takes 5 maybe 6 seconds to do this perfectly. Its toooo easy. The dremel I use cost me $9.83 at harbor freight tools,all the tips included,the tip I use to do this the dremel came with 4 of them and 80+ other tips and cut-off wheels and other stuff. This is also what I use to do my tank carto holes.

Oh, that definitely helps! That's perfect, thanks! I get the 'valley' thing now. Didn't have a clue what you meant before. lol And I'm sure I can figure out a way to pull that off with few tools I have before I pick up an inexpensive dremel. Thanks so much! I'm sure it took ages to put all that together, but I definitely appreciate it!

I'm definitly glad I switched back to Boge if that's what y'all are having to go though! I want a drama/dremel free vape! :)


I've only had to do this to a few here and there that I get from a different vendor,their the DC 3.0 ohm. I mainly use the Boge fusion cartos. Or the Boge XL's in my tanks, and it's more a prefference thing for me, I like a more airy draw.

Just wanted to chime in that I've also noticed the stiffer draw on the resurrectors. I thought I had a bad batch until I read the comments here. I tried the super-duper 3 ml resurrectos and I liked the draw it had. The vendors definitely should forward these comments to the manufacturer. As the saying goes - if it ain't broke, then don't fix it! I'm waiting to see the price on the 3 ml resurrectors, but if they're pricey, I might have to switch to the Boges.

    Never heard of these, can you provide a link?

    I just got a 15 pack of resurrectors from Andrew 3 days ago and so far have not had any problems. I have 6 of them going at the moment, I have been mixing DIY juice so I have several going at one time, with no noteable difference in draw, flavor or vapor production. He also sent one of the XXL cartos which I have been using since 2 days ago and have had no issues with it untill I started getting a mild burnt taste today. I may have run it a little dry so I juiced it up and will let it soak in awhile and see what happens.

    That's reassuring to hear. Thanks for commenting on that. Maybe it is a hit-and-miss thing, but I've surely lost confidence in Smoketech. I might try one more box of Resurrectors and a box of Boges to compare before making a final decision.
