resurrectors and the vv splash

[John R. L.]

just got the vv splash today and well went to put the resurrector on it (in tank) and it fired then it died then fired again and did it again the same way, what I was wondering do the resurrectors work ok on vv and I was putting it at 3.7 to 4.0 volts..Can anyone help me !!! thanks

I thought for sure someone would know this

Hey John - I'm certain someone with more knowledge than I will be along and post - are you saying the Ressurector Carto died - inside the tank? It's a 1.7 ohm. On my Smoktech DC Clearo's - I sometimes have to drop down below 3.7v. (just barely) - my Provari is really picky - which is a good thing - it's protecting itself - my Buzz Pro - not so much and will take the Clearo's at up to 4.5 - but I don't use a tank. Have you tried it w/o the tank and have you dropped the volts below 3.7..if you can? Wish I could be of more help, but trust me - someone will be along to help you out!

Bump for someone who knows lol.

What batteries are you using? I'm asking cause I've had similar problems when using the trustfire flames in my SB--a dual coil carto wouldn't fire, and single coil 1.5 ohms wouldn't either. Found out the protection circuit in my battery was being tripped. I switched over to AW batteries and haven't had a single issue since. The trustfires aren't as good as they used to be and there have been a bunch of counterfeits out there also....maybe that's the issue for you too?

The Resurrectors are fine to use on a vv. They're single coil and measure about 1.7 ohms so you'll want to keep the voltage turned down but 3.7 or 4.0 should not be a problem.

You're going to have to go though a process of elimination to see where the problem is. First thing I would try is using another Resurrector to see if you just got a bad carto or one that just isn't making good contact and/or try that carto on another mod. If that checks out check the batteries. If your using regular batteries you may need to go to IMR....which I'd recommend anyway in the samller sizes as they have higher current capaility, especially for lower ohm cartos. If higher ohm is working with that mod and the LR Ressurector isn't working it's probably just pulling more current than the regular 14500s can provide.

+1 on the batteries. You're tripping the protection circuit on one or more of your batteries. I have 6 grey ultrafires - two of them will trip on a 1.6 ohm dual coil at or above 4.2v and all of the other four can get as high as 4.8v without tripping. I have 4 trustfires - two of which will trip using a 1.6 ohm dc at or above 3.9v and the other two can get to 4.5v. I have 4 AW IMRs and all can get to 7.4v if that's what I want to do.

I had the same problem with my vv device. If I was using ultrafires or trustfires.. sometimes the mod wouldn't fire, I would have to take a batt out, put it back in and then it would fire one more time and then cut off. There is some reason that your batt's protection circuit is cutting off. It is probably your carto. Mine works fine on new(ish) attys and cartos but if they get some juice gunked up it will cause them to read a much lower resistance and cause your batts to trip. You can solve that by using aw imr's or just using another atty/carto or maybe doing a burn to burn the gunk off.

thank-you for the info I don't have any AW IMR's right now but I do have some freah t.f.batts. comming very soon

If you do order some imrs, supertmfg is the least inexpensive.

Glad i read this, I was getting frustrated!! IMR batts should be here today!!

Agree with the batteries tripping protection ckt, ordered some 1.5 cartos to use with my splash and tried them at 6v (way to hot for me) and had no problems with AW IMRs. Found my sweet spot at 4.8v and 2.5 smoketec dccs in a syringe tank.
