I had a bad (shorted) one in my first box - great start for a complete newbie
. Luckily the battery I use is protected (it started blinking), but I'll be checking the ones I have left with a multimeter before use.- Status

I got mine last month from Vapor kings - Smoktech 1.5-1.7 ohm, and they seem fine. That chemical taste is weird - I don't think I've ever had that in a carto, just atty primer at times.

I haven't had any like that yet fortunately -- that seems to be pretty rare still, even considering SMK's shoddy QC lately, but I hope it's not indicative of a further slip down the slide.
I like to try all the mods, give them a go for a few weeks or so. Try to keep an open mind, and maybe I'll be impressed one of these days. Provari is still my main mod, especially since the v2 upgrade. I keep a photo album going on photobucket more like a picture blog of my trek through all the vaping gadgets 8)

This may be true I have noticed the draw is more airy but I have not got a bad taste at all, even though they seem to be more airy it may help with juices that clog easy, I cant comfirm that until my bounty comes in because it kills dc in days 
I don't think yo can take the metal ones apart, but I've read that you can wiggle apart the clear ones. Getting the fill compressed to put them back together sounds like an art in itself! I clean my steel ones just like smaller ones, with vodka, hot water and pressure.
I just threw the batch in boiling water for about 20 minutes and then put each one inside a turkey baster, put hot water in a mug, and flushed each one out a few times. It seemed to improve the cartos slightly.
I've heard that alcohol/Everclear works the best.

Stowz: I took a shot and bought some of these after reading your review.
Thank you very much for the posting this! I thought they were just another gimmick cartomizer, but your review pushed me into trying them. Wow, I'm spoiled now and can't even look at my old favorites any more. These things are fantastic! I'm using them on my ego batteries with my favorite juice, BWB Backo. Thanks again!!!

The CCV XL Smoktech 1.7 ohm cartos and the MadVapes Smoktech 1.7ohm cartos.
Yuck
I know a lot of people like those but I keep hearing about bad batches lately.
Yes I received a new batch and am not happy at all with the 1.7's or the Junior sized 1.7's and looks like I am not alone. They did something to the filling and it aint good.

Ok so with all the talk about the bad ones, can anyone say where they have bought good ones from? My last batch came from smokey vapor, great prices, free shipping over $10 everyday. The site is smokeyvapor.net
Where else u guys buying them?

I have tried every chemical and ultrasonic, and in my opinion no amount of cleaning will make a carto like new again. It will just clean the filler material, but not the coil, and the coil is the most important to get clean. You must dry burn the coil to get it to perform like new, and you can't do that with any carto that has filler material in it or it will burn the filler material and the diaper that wraps around the coil. So when they no longer perform like they should I throw them away and fill a new one. With Cartos that have no filler material, you can dry burn the coil and make them like new again.
I ordered 1 box of Smoktech 1.5 DCC from Hoosier late last year. Immediately tried 1 and was hooked. When that one burned I started another only to get the foul taste from it. Opened another the same day and the same foul taste. I've had 2 sitting in my stash for months, unwilling to waste juice on them. Today I decided to try another and it too has that same foul taste. It may take me months to try that last one. Smoktech ripped me off. Hoosier wouldn't do anything about it except to ask how I was filling them. Sorry, that isn't the problem so you have both lost a customer. I don't care how many satisfied customers you each may have...I lost money to your company's and will never put myself in that position knowingly again.
I just bought a bunch of dual coil cartos from Hoosier. One box was marked dual coil, but it vaped like single coil. I asked Brent if he ever had that happen. He just said that there always seems to be inconsistencies with SmokTech cartos
I suppose that if I had asked him to replace them, he would have.

I don't think so. If that was the case, he would have offered in his reply to you. In case he is watching this thread...if you stop ordering from SmokTech because of the inconsistencies your customers are reporting to you, eventually they will get the message when their sales suffer!
I've wasted about 60-80 drops of liquid in the one I opened today and still get the foul taste. I'm done with them!
