I ve never had the Resurrector Cartos before, but the 1.5 DC cartos drop from their initial resistance by about .2 ohms one I had that failed fairly quick, it was 1.2 just before it failed. So yes I can start off at 4 or so but soon it gets E2 errors. I hope the resurrector is better.
I know what you mean, I experience that often with atomizers. But I've never had that happen with a carto yet for some reason... But I haven't tried DC cartos yet either.
I was just wondering how barometric pressure affects the liquid flow. If the air in the
tank is equalized say at 31.2 and the pressure drops to say 29.2 then the push on the liquid is higher in the tank than the inside of the carto which is open to the lower pressure. If the slot is covered by
juice then it can't equalize. It would be wise to never fill the tank so the holes are all ways covered, and should not be stored in upright position. Right? What about the air heating up from chain vapors? I know and old retired Engineer thinking to much. LOL

That's a very interesting observation and would make for an interesting discussion. Unfortunately, I don't exactly qualify to partake in it but would love to see what you find out.
Based on my up-to-date experience, I am certain that different cartos do perform differently in a tank and that a size of a hole or a slot does play a significant role in their performance.
My Liquinator arrived with standard Boge pre-cut cartos. Regardless of the slot size (and they were all quite different), these cartos stayed wet only about 2/3 of the way up (about 10 drops less than full). I even added a punched hole to one of them without noticing any improvements. It seems that the filler in this particular cartos either doesn't wick the liquid enough or quickly enough. Also, I don't recall anyone using Boge cartos reporting their carto leaking.
OTOH, when trying IKV 510 Gold V2 cartos, the result was completely opposite for me. The same or similar size slot resulted in a carto flooding and leaking in a very short amount of time, as little as just a few minutes. The filler in the top part of the V2 carto appeared to be completely saturated which indicated too much juice going into the carto too quickly. The solution ended up being a new V2 carto with a very tiny punched hole. To my surprise, with this new setup, the filler in the V2 stayed almost completely wet for about a week, literally. The top of the filler appeared kind of dry when looking at it but it would completely saturate after dripping only two drops to it regardless of how long I vaped for and whether the tank was completely full or almost empty.
I believe that the pressure does affect the liquid flow but I feel that a specific type or amount of filler makes the greatest difference. The amount of filler may contribute to the amount of pressure. Afterall, if we remove all the filler we will probably lose all or most of the pressure and the tank will empty on its own. I don't know, just my thoughts...
