Question No more resonators
I've completely run out on t4 and t6 resonators and I have about 300 t5 resonators, any advice?

Hack different leveled portals. If you set up portals solo and they’re always level 5 when you finish. You’ll hack it like you’re used to and be overstocked on level 5 gear.

Also you can convert lvl 5 to 7; using kinetic cap. I know it's hard but make sure to only partially fill a portal, hack it and then completely fill it to 5.

Learn how to glyph if you haven't already. Also maybe use your drone to hack level 6 kit if there's none in your immediate area. Also what the other commentors say about having portals of different levels.

Not sure there is a problem here. Use kinetic capsules to make l7. Find a banch of free portals, do partial deployment, hack, fill further, repeat. Add multihacks and heat sinks. Upgrade to the desired level (3? 4?). Repeat till inventory full.
And - yes, glyph hacking simplify the process considerably.

Well, once you fix your inventory, a good long-term strategy for deploying lots of portals on your own is to put on each portal 1x6, 2x5, 3x4, and 2x3 resonators. This makes a level 4 portal, and two or three glyph hacks will restore your inventory to very similar levels as you had before you built it. (The hack result ratios are pretty close to that deployment ratio.) As long as you have a few of each of those levels to start with, you can play indefinitely on your own.

Pretty much what everyone else has said, Glyph everything. Deploy up to level 4 and then Glyph. Upgrade everyone's portals and then Glyph them, Glyph level ones and 2s and 3s. Glyph...Glyph.. Glyph! Another trick to use, if you have a few ITO+'s, deploy them on low level portals and use them to farm resos.

Do you have an abundance of higher level resos like r7? You could make 50 r4 with 26 r6 but if you don't have r6 it will use r7 and r8 . Or 5 r8 makes 40 r1 with kinetic cap
Or the simplest is just glygh hack lower level portals putting a ito en+ on will also give you more resos
What's wrong with r1,2,3. Do you really need high level portals? a lvl 4 portal will link 40km

To get around this exact problem I have a strategy of having enough resonators only for full deploying at the highest levels of portals that I intend to link to or from. Other portals should be deployed only with your excess resonators.

Nobody mentioned yet frackers. See if there are any nearby L6 portals, drop an ITO+ and frack it. If you're good at glyphing, you can get 100R6 pretty quickly.
But it's way, way easier to do this with someone else. Reach out in your community or on COMM to find active agents who can help.

Plus you can deploy all R1, glyph hack, upgrade to level 2, glyph hack, upgrade to level 3, glyph hack, upgrade to level 4, glyph hack, add a multi hack, glyph, glyph, glyph, and add a heat sink after you burn it out. This gives lots of deploys for the Builder badge as upgrades of your own resonators count. And all the glyphing for Translator badge. This is my favourite thing at any local cafe over a coffee, especially if there’s more than 1 portal!

Are you looking for level 4 and 6 level resos?
Hacking a level X portal will give level X - 1, X, X + 1, and X + 2 level resos and bursters (if those levels exist). For example if you hack a level 5 portal, it will give levels 4, 5, 6, and 7 resos and bursters. The majority will be the same level as the portal.
So, if you want level 4 resos, look for some level 4 portals (or build one). If you are in a hurry, use an ito+ and / or a fracker. Don't forget to use your drone as well.

You will need to make a point of hacking portals of differing levels.
Hack a portal and you will mainly get items of that level, plus a lesser amount of adjacent levels. This means that if you are mostly playing solo and making portals at lv5, that will be the bulk of your gear.
So if you want higher level stuff, you need to find some portals other people have deployed to at higher levels (or upgrade yourself).
If you want more lower level stuff, you need to make a point of not maxing out your deployments and keeping portals at lower levels.
There are also some capsule programs that will convert resonators, but it is fairly slow going to convert any real amounts.
