Swedishfish,
Just letting you know in case you were gona order some, but I've noticed that the 1.7ohm cartos from madvapes don't seem to be as good as the Ressurectors. I don't know what it is bc their both 1.7ohmLR XL cartos so they really should be exactly the same but the ones from madvapes seem to have a lot of DOAs. I normally always use the Ressurectors but got a 5-pack of the 1.7s when I was ordering some other stuff from madvapes and 2out of the 5 were DOA. Also One of my friends got two 5-packs of them awhile back and one pack had 3 out of 5 DOA and the other had 2 out of 5 DOA. I've also read a whole bunch of reviews from people saying they got a lot of DOAs too. So I don't know if it was a bad batch or what but just keep that in mind if your going to get them from madvapes. The 1.7s from Hoosier seem to be good. Ive tried them but never bought a pack from there, but my friend has bought a bunch of them from Hoosier and he said they were pretty consistant.
I find that the Ressurectors are very consistant. I've prob gotten about 15-20 5-packs from CCV and I've never had one DOA. Last week was the first time I got one that didn't work flawlessly. It wasn't DOA, but something was wrong with the wick. The carto was filled fully with a syringe, but when I vaped it, it would hiss like it was dry. I called Andrew and let him know and the next day I got an email that he sent me another free 5-pack, which I thought was pretty awesome. I didn't even ask for it, since only 1 carto had the problem, but he sent me a whole nother 5-pack anyway.
That's why I only buy cartos from CCV. And a 15-pack for $20 with a free syringe and drip tip is a great deal. Sometimes it does take a few extra days to get them bc he's really backed up with orders, but as long as you don't wait till your almost out, the extra day or 2 doesn't really matter. I always just order 15 more when I have only a 5-pack left. Then you won't be screwed if it takes a few extra days.
So I just wanted to let you know that about the 1.7ohmLR XL cartos from madvapes. It could have just been a few bad batches and their fine now, but I don't know so I wanted to give you a heads up. I would order them from Hoosier if CCV was out of stock, but that's up to you
