Resurrectors always get tight really quickly

[Shilo]

My resurrector turned 3 weeks old today! I use my own diy clear juices and that makes all the difference! I used to only get 2 days max out of mine. I just refilled my 3 week old carto today and it's still well worth vaping. I know they are disposable but I'm not going to dispose of it till it gets to where it's not worth vaping. It's all in the juice!

What ratio PG/VG are you using? Do you add any distillled water to your mix? We tried flavorless too for that very reason and they lasted two days longer- you are a marvel sir or madam....LOL

I used to use these when I was a 3.7v user. They do need cleaned quite often. Using a needle through them can work if it's not too bad. Blowing out the excess juice worked as well. I was using Vapenstein blends, notorious for ruining cartos and attys, and they were lasting a couple weeks. I also boiled them.

Ok, so I just tried filling another one with a syringe.. laid it on it's side, needle about halfway down, .2ml every 30 seconds or so. Now letting it sit for 15 or 20 mins, we'll see if it makes a difference!

Maybe theres a reason CCV sends you a syringe.

Well.. it hits like a train for now! Plenty of vapor and nice, loose draw. I guess time will tell.. Maybe I'll try refilling it with a syringe for this one and see if it makes any difference.

People already tell me I look like a crack fiend with all the ecig stuff, can't wait to see what kind of crap I get about carrying a syringe!

I accidently ordered my juice 80vg/20pg instead of 80pg/20vg and they really do clog up fast with higher vg.

i have never filled these things with a syringe. i always drip fill them just like any other carto...and it always works fine for me

My mixes are somewhere between 25% and 30% VG and no, I add nothing other than PG.. no distilled water. I am adding a few drops of flavor and no sweetener and the juice is still clear. I've been amazed at how long my cartos are lasting now. I haven't even opened another resurrector in 3 weeks. I'm also getting much longer on my clear, dual coil cartos.. you know how after a couple days they get real brown towards the bottom? Mines still pristine white.

The 3 weeks old resurrector doesn't crackle and pop like it did in it's younger days but it's still too good to stop using. On the clear dual coil carto, the first fill was a heavily flavored/sweetened juice from tasty vapor and then on the refills, I'm using unflavored.. I'm still getting lots of flavor and the carto is lasting as long as I feel it should. The draw is not tight on either one.

I was really getting bummed a few weeks ago, going through a carto every day or two was getting expensive. I'm thrilled to now be able to get my moneys worth and more!

I fill the first time with a syringe and then drip to refill. And I am a Madam LOL

So.. a few hours in - almost unvapable again. Been using the syringe to fill it all night, haven't been completely soaking it like I usually do and I've been trying to run it more towards the dry side. Draw is super tight and I havent even run 3mL through it yet.

edit - none of mine have done the crackle and pop! I've missed it. On any of my ego batteries or my epower, no matter WHAT the liquid in it is.

I have been vaping this ressurector for a week and just this morning it started to get tight. Looked it over and it seems the poly fill has swollen and closed up the tube. I just took a refill needle an ran it through. that seems to open back up the tube and BAM back on track

I know this sounds crazy but i also noticed that my drip tip seems to be tightening the draw some. I tried with the tip and tail piping and the tip is certainly choking the draw some.
