I have got to figure out what the heck it is that others can manage that and I can't. I can't hardly get 6 hours, let alone 6 days.

I've tried two things; either drip about 5 drops or so at a time, let it soak in, drip one or two more, let that soak, etc until no more soaks in. Ive tried both using it right away and letting it set overnight to soak. Either way, that usually just clogs up or starts spitting nasty brown liquid.

Or I just do 5 drops, use it for a half hour or so, 5 more drops, etc. That will get me a few extra hours, but the draw slowly gets harder, and the vapor thinner. Until it either clogs up, or spits brown liquid.

What am I doing wrong? I've read GrimmieGrimm's tips before. Am I missing something, it sounds like we're doing the same thing?

Hey Leaford. I'm glad you are trying out Bloog, they look like a good alternative.

I tried the syringe method the first few days, but dripping it in was easier. You seem to be refilling the same way I am; a few drops, let it soak, few more, etc. until it is full. I keep about 3 carts in rotation with different flavors and switch out between them, except one menthol cart that I hit all the time (that is the one that has lasted the longest.) After a few days the draw does get harder (except that one menthol cart.) I do top them off frequently, so maybe that is the difference? If I don't top it off I am afraid I will burn it and have to trash the cart, that has happened to a few of them.

hey leaford just want to make sure were not misunderstanding each other here , it's 6 to 7 days of constant filling at least once a day before the cart goes bad ( no vapor / hard draw ) not 6 full days on one refill , that would be amazing

anyone tried dripping from the battery end, it takes time and patience but I've bee doing it for the last day with decent results.

Drip in the middle and the juice will flow into the atomizer, one drop at a time, then I let it sit battery end up, and blow from battery end (with rubber cap off) to get out any superfluous fluid before connecting to battery.

Here is a little update on Smoke51 Canada

With the help of my new found buddy Greg (smokumchevy) , he was able to get more info on my order , which thank god has been confirmed as been sent out today and since i am not to far i should get it by tuesday at the most...

I have to say that the 2 new batteries that i received in replacement seem great as they now hold a charge for the whole day !!!!!

Hoping that the back orders for cartridges will be a thing that does not happen to often that would really set things in a different perspective !!!

Thanks again Smokumchevy !!

Thanks Leaford for the updates !

Sorry I'm using the Bloog (Which I think is the e-cig.com model)... one thing I forgot when I drip into the battery end the rubber cap is off, or liquid wont go down the hole, and always wipe the battery connector so no fluid gets into your battery.

Default SMOKE 51 Update

Well the third battery which rattled did not make it 24 hours. I charged it and used it for 1 hour on the day it was received. Picked it up again off my desk in the evening and it was dead. Put it on the charger and it appears to charge but it does not activate when drawn on. The pressure switch obviously failed on this one.

Just tried it on a few carts and it works great, and fast once you get steady. Blow off the little bit of excess and you are ready to go. Thanks for the idea, LucKyPunk!
