Mine does that sometimes, and I unscrew it and screw it back in and it works fine, who knows why but it happens. I have put a small drop of E-juice on the edge of the button and press it up and down a few times then wipe off any excess, and that seemed to help with the sticky button. I unscrew the carto each time I change a battery and clean the center of the battery switch and the bottom of the carto with a tissue or napkin, it is not unusual to see some fluid in it, so thats why I check it. Once I thought my switch was dead and I cleaned the treads and post with alcohol and Q-tip and it worked fine after the cleaning.

i had all the same problems, lol. its weird now some og the ressurectors wont work with it. they just flash like the battery is dead. fresh of charger bs. so i put some 2 ohm ones that i got with it not my 1.7 and works fine. I have a feeling that the ressurector problems are caused by the company putting the wrong coils in.

I have not had any more problems with the ressurectors than any other carto and when I do its usually either the center post of the battery or the center connector in a carto being to low, in the carto the center connector should be lhigher than the threads by just a little. You can raise both areas with tweezers and just pry up each side just a little. One time I thought my switch had died and cleaned the battery connector with a q-tip and alky and wiped the rest of the threads with a napkin and alky then its worked great after that. Don't give up if the ressurector works on one battery it should work on another. The flashing light sounds like a bad connection (needs cleaning) or the carto is shorted. If you have a volt/ OHM meter check it out and if the meter shows its OK then it will be one of the things I mentioned above. What mod are you having a problem with??

I got a set from my vendor that came in clear wrapping. I love them for the first 3 days of vaping, then they start to draw hard. Any thoughts or solutions?
Try pushing a straightened paper clip up thru the battery end and and all the way thru the center straw of the carto, do this by turning the carto as you press the paper clip gently in to it, then spin it around a few times and remove it and vape. I do this when the vape gets hard to draw. Also sometimes they get flooded and you can blow it out from the mouth piece end with a napkin under the threaded end. A carto works the best when you can see light thru the carto if held up to a light source.

I ordered 10 SmokeTech 1.5 DC and so far have 4 that taste funky out of the wrapper with 2 left to open. I don't have money to waste on this crap; I am not amused and will not spend any more money on this brand.

I like the draw on these tremendously but I'm finding I'm going through my self imposed monthly liquid volume quicker with them. I don't have a job and can't afford this waste.

To clear up confusion about green vs clear. I was told this by a vendor.

Smoktech DO NOT manufacture their cartos! They outsource the manufacturing.

The green wrapped and clear wrapped are from different manufacturers/factories contracted by Smoktech to produce these cartos to their spec.

This is the reason for the differences.

Hope this helps.

I'm glad I stumbled across this thread. Back in November I ordered a 15 carto deal from CCV of resurrectors. Got two boxes of greens and one box of clears. Vaped the first to boxes of greens first. Every single one worked flawlessly. Best flavor, vapor, TH and longevity of any carto I've ever tried.

On Monday got around to starting my third box of the clear wrapped ones. I've opened three of the five and not a single one has worked. Can't get hardly any vapor at all, tastes burnt straight out the packaging no matter what I do. Well yesterday I ordered 15 more from CCV and afterwards today found this thread. Now I'm worried I'll 15 duds.

I emailed Andrew at CCV and told him about the problem. And asked if he could send the ones in the green wrappers. Haven't heard back from him then read another thread about how backed up CCV is with shipping times. Confused as to what to do and really disappointed. The ones that worked in the green wrappers were vaping heaven to me and I'd decided I'd never get Boge LR's again.

Anyone heard back from Andrew about this issue? I might have to order Boge LR's from litecig just to have something. Really bummed about his as CCV and Ressurectors had become my favorites and now these issues. Real bummer.

I just ordered one of the smoktech 3.5mil tanks with the smoktech 1.5 flange carto's. I didn't order it from madvape's but a lot of people in comments section are complaining about the same issues discussed in this thread. However, a few have said the carto that came with the tank worked great, it was the replacement carto's they were having an issue with.

cheers,

Also wondering if anyone has tried the Stainless Steel versions of the resurrectors and if they have the same problems.
That's what I use all the time and have not had a bad one yet, maybe just luck. I sure hope I don't have any problems when I order again. I have use about 15 of the S.S. and not one dud. Then have been all in clear wrappers.

Good to hear this. At least with my new order I got one box of stainless steel because I've been wanting to test them out on my provari - liquinator tank setup.

On another note, tried the fourth one out of the box last night. Worked fine. Still going strong so far today. Maybe I was just unlucky and got a bad batch in this box.

Time will tell.

Best of luck. Hope you get some good ones.

Honestly, when these resurrectors work they are by far some of the best cartos out there.

I believe that is false information. My rep tells me they are all manufactured in house and have shipped with clear and green wrappers. I just had a lengthy conversation regarding this thread and quality control issues. I hope this helps in some way.

anybody knows whats up with CCV, I ordered some 510 1.7 cartos( 15 deal...) and its been 4 days now and no shipping info. They posted a notice on web site s aying they have some legal issues and will be happy to offer refund etc etc.
whats up with that
Andrew took on some part time help who accidentally deleted some info (this is aside from the syringe notice). If you can email him (link on the site) and give him an order number and info like that, he is straightening it out. Give it a day or two after emailing, this was a major tangle and he is moving as fast as he can to fix it. He contacted me in 2 days and my order is going out in the morning. Mine was a deleted order. You can also go to the CCV thread here on ecf for more info and another contact person.
