I started steaming about 6ml per day through a Liquinator tank on 16 Oct. It died yesterday in a really odd way. Just before I refilled it, it gave an odd "moldy" flavor. It was near empty, so I refilled it, and it got real gurgle slurpy. No external leaks, it just seemed like juice was flooding the carto. It was still atomizing, but the draw was very stiff, and I could not do it without getting hot juice in my mouth. I checked the resistance, and it had only gone from 3 to 3.1 Ohms, so I don't think it's element decay. My theory is that the packing material gave out some how. I'll do a post mortem when I get a chance.

I'm waiting (and waiting) for a fresh batch of SS Boge 3 Ohms from CCV so I can make replacements as needed. I think I have enough resurrectors to tide me over, but these are slightly larger diameter than the Boges, so the won't adapt to the tank.

I'm not complaining here. Just relating my experience. Actually, I'm VERY impressed with the lifespan boost the tank seems to impart to the cartomizer. Almost 13 days of fairly heavy vaping at 5-6v on a ProVari, where I was doing good to get four or five days out of a naked Boge running at 3.7v on a Riva batt.

Tra-la-la.

My cartomizer got flooded within a day and not sure why. I'm thinking it's the 2 slots seeping in too much juice. I'm a day in using a dotted 801 Fusion and so far so good. My first Liquinator got flooded quick also, but I thought it was because the tank was getting cracks everywhere. Maybe I'm not using this properly? I hate when my Tundra juice falls victim to this. I don't even know how much I've drank already8-o
