I've got one, and it works like a charm. I will say it works fabulously on my cartos because I vape fairly clear juices. I know my carto needs to be cleaned because I lose flavor, my draw never gets tight.

Hubby's cartos, on the other hand, do not clean well using any method. He uses a dark sweet juice, and he vapes his cartos until you can't suck on them. I have yet been able to restore his to useability. I have used Pbusardo's boiling method, and this kit, using lots of flushing with hot water and warm pga. He just has to throw his away when he's done with them. He's okay with that, and it saves me extra work, not that I have exhausted myself trying to clean them.

I have the same Smoktek carto cleaner. It has renewed many Boge cartos.

Got a quick question got my 3ml liquinator allmost 2 weeks ago and I am loving it. Using it on my provari. I want to order some cartos from CCV and want to try the resurrectors too but do I want to remove the black sticker on the cartos before I slot them with the dremel? Also get a little fluid on the battery connection after I take my tank off to refill is that normal?

You can just get the stainless steel ones without the black sticker.

It's OK, I get a little fluid on my connector sometimes too,I asked Provape about it and they said it's fine, just wipe any excess juice off the connector and also in the cup and you're good to go. When I got my first tank I already had a huge stash of cartomizers that have stickers on them and I am using those .. but yes I do remove the sticker before I slot or punch the carto, also remove the glue and get any residue off .. after that I then slot or punch the carto.

What do you use to remove the stickers?

For the Resurrectors, you can just order the stainless steel ones without stickers. For the Boge with stickers, I heard a good way is to stick them in the freezer over night and the sticker should just fall off. Then just wipe any remaining glue off with alcohol.

I peel them off with a blade but then there is residue left behind .. I use goo-gone to remove the residue and then I wash the outside of the carto real well with soap and water. I do a bunch of them at one time, clean them off, slot or punch them and store the away so that I always have a supply of them ready to use. I dont watch much TV, but when I do I sit there and peel off labels while I watch a TV show :D

Hey there My4Jewels
I also have the same problem as your hubby. I vape lots of RY4 (vaperite's, organic) it clogs my attys/cartos so bad the coils look like little balls of charcoal, so what I do is is soak them over night in PGA(everclear) in a small Ziplock tube with a lid. I shack it a few time when I walk by it. Next day or two, I use a home made carto cleaner similar to the SmokeTech Flusher, and hot dist water to flush them several times. I then use clean PGA to get the water out and let them dry overnight. If that don't work I toss them. It works great most of the time, 80-90% I would say.
Vape on and have fun

This is good to know because I vape a dark juice too and the same thing happens to me .. the coil gets all gunked up. I did get a Carto Cleaner from smoketek and if I remember to stop using a carto before it gets too badly gunked up then the Carto Clearner works great .. but if I wait too long then even the carto cleaner cant get all the mess out of it. I'll give your method a try, thanks!

Hi My4jewels
Yeah if you can get 100 proof or any cheap vodka will work. I mix my Everclear to 100 proof/50% alky for cleaning anyway. It is very cheap here in Colorado and PGA will take the paint off my attys. they are all stainless now. LOL I leave the bad ones for a few days or so any way. I flush the voice out befor I put them in the Alky with hot dist water it keep from getting cross juice flavors in the carto's, then soak 2-3 days in Alky. I then flush with hot dist water, what i do is suck water in the syringe first then flush the gunk out the bottom so I don't get gunk all through the filler, then use the cleaner to suck clean alky back and forth the get it clean and all the water out. I would make a vid of how I do it but don't have software to edit it for you tube. sorry. Ithink you can get it from this. Just remember don't suck cleaning fluid in and out of the carto untill you get it to the last stage with Alky.
Happy Vaping

Before I continue, I'd like to mention that I already owned and tried the GP-SSR tank by GoodProphets as well as the DCT from Most Angry Pirate.

I just received my SS liquinator. I have to admit, I love the build on this thing. I bought the 3ml version because I wanted to be able to use regular sized cartomizers. The top and bottom pieces are just eye candy and makes my provari look complete. The O-Rings that grip the tubing seems a little loose compared to my other tank mods but not loose too make me worry about the caps coming off. The inner O-Rings on the other hand hug the cartomizer just right. Not too tight and not too loose. No leakage whatsoever. If you don't already have a liquinator, I sugest you get one.

On a side note, I'd also like to note that the tubing for my DCT is the same diameter as the liquinator thus allowing you to swap your tank tubes. This is helpful since I now have a short and long tube for both regular and XL sized cartos!

Thanks guys for the info on how to remove the stickers on the carts. djrbx I totally agree with you on the liquinator really nice buid love my stainless steel 3ml wouldnt use anything else.

On the ressurectos can I slot them or is better to punch them and they use a 5ml tank right?

I only punch one small hole it them with my 50% vg 50% pg juice. They dont like big holes. You can use the 3 ml tank with them they will just stick out the top.

Okay, so far, I'm doing well with the liquinators, no more problems. How long can I expect the delrin capped liquinators to last. I refill from the bottom by pushing the carto in from the connector end and to the side to drip juice in. It just occurred to me that it might stretch the opening after time. Or is the delrin tough enough to take it?

I have been using mine for over two months without any signs of wear...
