SmokeTech Ressurrectors?

[daniele25]

Hi All - I just placed an order for some of the "Ressurrectors" because I heard a couple people say some really great things about them. My main question is, how do you think these compare to the Stardusts? I have a handlful of those, and they work great at first, but then taste and performance declines rather quickly....I've cleaned them a few times, but it seems like they lose a little bit of taste and vapor production after each cleaning. The taste from the Phoenix clearos is absolutely incredible IMO, but they seem to leak if you dont fill it EXACTLY the right way, or if the syringe pops a hole through the silicone plug..I've gone through 2 boxes and really only had 3 that worked. So I decided to move on from those...too much of a challenge to deal with.

That said...I'm trying the Ressurectors. Before getting the Stardusts, and the Pheonix clearos, I was using the basic Boge or Smoketech cartos and never really had any issues with them...but the taste seemed to be better out of the Stardusts and Phoenix (when they work properly). I'm sure its the lack of polyfil that is the reason for that.

My main question is, how do the Ressurrectors compare to the Stardusts and Phoenix, as well as the regular Boges or Smoketech cartos?

Thanks in advance for your input!

Ressurectors are the only cartos I use anymore. They preform really well. Great vapor, throat hit and flavor consistently... And in the past 6 months not one dud. I get about a week out of one using darker juice but close to 2 weeks with lighter juices. I've been using them on my alpha from altsmoke and some ego passthru batteries and couldn't be happier with em.

I think they preform a lot like the Boge lrs but hit just a little bit harder...and the filler actually soaks up the juice when you drip to fill em unlike the boges where it takes all day to fill one.
I'm not a fan of the stardust so can't really help there.

Thanks for the input! I've got 15 of them on the way...so it sounds like I made a good choice. I like how there is no taste from the filler with the Stardusts (since there is no filler, lol) but the performance is just far too inconsistent

Just thought I would chime back in..I got the Resurrectors Smoketech 1.7 ohm cartos) today, and all i can say is WOW! Great throat hit, vapor production, and the biggest concern I had, which was flavor! Somehow, I do not get that filler taste like I did with the other Boge or SmokeTech cartos I have used. Its only been a few hours, and I have 2 of them going, but so far I could not be happier. (I am using one black, and one clear, both performing equally well on my Ego batteries...one of which is the Twist, that I have set to 3.6 volts). Flavor, throat hit and vapor are right up there with a Stardust when its brand new. (Actually.. I'd say throat hit and vapor production are better). The flavor is on par with a brand new Stardust...but definitely better than a Stardust after its first fill.

As of right now, I would highly suggest them to anyone out there.

I typically get great flavor on them up until the point when the draw gets too tight...that's when i toss em. I do top them off a few times during the day to make sure they don't burn at all, cause they burn up quick if they're not wet.

Where did you purchase your resurrectors from?

a lot of vendors have em but don't call em ressurectors. Just look for Smoktek 1.7 ohm single coil cartos. I het em from crystal clear vaping tho.

 

[Loveridden]

I'm asking because I have gotten them several times from madvapes, loved them, but last ones I got were different, not quite as good tho not terrible, some ppl said they were terrible tho. So was just wondering if the ones you got were more like the old ones.

How do you think these would vape at around 4.5 volts? I am used to using the 3.0 ohm Boges at that voltage. But, recently Boge has went by the wayside and I am looking to move on.

I think that might be a little high....on my Twist, I am using them at around 3.6v. They are 1.7ohm cartos. There are higher ohm SmokeTech cartos that you could try...I think CCV has the 15 bundle deal with some other SmokeTechs as well

Let us know how they hold up. I got five boxes recently from crystal clear and out of 25, 9 were bad and had to be tossed. They have great prices but when you factor in the duds it goes up quite a bit.

When it comes to cartos, you've made a wise decision...I used to order from CCV but since I live in IL I get slapped with tax which makes the price per carto not worth it for me. As far as boges go, I have given all mine away...the filler is way too thick and they cant wick as fast as a smoktech, but again this depends on your pg/vg ratio. I vape 100% vg and the boges are just terrible for me. Altho I do like the airier draw and the quality of the center post on the boges better they just arent as consistent as the smoktechs. I get mine from hoosierecigsupply.com for $6 a box when they are on sale, plus you can choose whatever style ones you want. Not CCVs fault that I dont order from them it is just how the tax addon doesnt work for my bottom line budget. Altho lately I have had a few bad ones, not duds, just slight imperfections in the quality. The last time I ordered 15 only 2 had an issue...one was slightly bulged out at the bottom not allowing me to slide my tank all the way down, the other had bad threads. Im sure if I said something to Brent he would gladly take care of me, but is only a few bucks and Im not gonna blame him for chinas' economy slowing thus cheaper quality control.
But I will say one thing, get yourself a genesis atty and you will never look at a carto/stardust/atomiser again. As far as a price point goes, its expensive at first, but the end result is you will never get frustrated over inconsistency anymore. Sorry but im just a genesis fanboy now I just got a DID atty and just bought another today. I will be getting rid of every carto and atty soon and going straight genesis. 1st step, get verified, 2nd step, bite the fact that you are gonna pay $100-300 for one, but trust me you will thank me later

That is a bummer! Last batch of Boges I ordered from VaporGod had 3 duds between 2 boxes. I'm going through this bundle of 15 of the Smoketech 1.7ohms from CCV, I ordered 1 box of clear and 2 black. So far I have used 2 clear and 3 black, no issues yet.....but will post back if that happens. (I usually have terrible luck, I;ve recieved 2 bad brand new laptops in less than 12 months!), so I'm thrilled that these have been good so far....but will definitely post if I end up with any duds from this bundle.

 

[mudshovel]

I read on CCV's thread that some of them were a little messed up.. bad batch of wire in them, but mention something on your next order if you do and I'm sure they'll take care of you. They've answered every question I've had and take care of their customers well. I'm almost strictly using their ressurectors with my ego's as well... Keeps me satisfied and keeps me vapin!

I order the 15 carto deal from CCV all the time, and not once have I received the "free" drip tip lol. Oh well...doesn't really matter. I still like the ressurectors the best.
