Aggravation: Batteries that won't fully charge, clearomizers that leak and other clearomizers that taste burnt.

[justwaaaa]

Waaaaaaaaaa! I just need to take a moment to whine. I have a Bloog battery that's only a month old and will only stay charged for an hour... driving me crazy.

I bought KR808 clearomizers and they leaked from every direction. Horrible!

I bought 510 clearomizers and an adapter to use with my 808, and they don't leak at all. However, they make every one of my juices taste horrible. I thought the wicks were pre-burned so that this wouldn't happen?

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

If they taste burnt, the wick is probably dry... it's not wicking properly! Your juice may be too thick...

Nah, the wick is plenty wet... this has happened on all 5 from the pack. It's a 50/50 mix, so it's not very thick either (

The Bloog battery is a bit of a surprise. I've never owned one but, people love those things. The clearomizers have had mixed reviews all along. Some people love them. Some hate them. So, no surprise there. Sorry, you're having trouble.

If things are leaking and your using Bloog auto batts,its no wonder your having issues.Get a few XL manual batts or an Ego.Autos dont deal well with leaky cartos.

What resistance clearomizers are you using? Too low of a resistance will drain the batteries fast. I also find that you can't draw for a long time with clearomizers or they get red hot and burn. Check it out in a dark room in front of a mirror! It's a bit disconcerting!

Too much to think about. Buy a riva with some boge cartos or get a gogo.

The clearomizers I tried had the juice cup cap inserted too far and was smashing the wicks down where they entered the coil cup thingy. You could try removing it, fluffing the wicks up a bit and replacing it, making sure to line up the notched with the wicks. Some people cut those notches a little deeper. It's worth trying.

The 2.4 ohm ones I tried were a bit too hot for me.

Bloog batteries are auto. So if juice ever got on the end of the battery, some may have gotten in and be making the drag sensor stick and use up more power or could be shorting something. I use manual batteries. Manual KR8 batteries unfortunately still have a hole in the end but at least they are not dependent on a drag sensor right there.

Clearomizers are a work-in-progress in my opinion. Good for experimenting but still flakey.

Sometimes my Bloogs have charging issues as well. I simply raise the center post of the battery & the charger so that the battery fully connects to the charger. Here is a post that explains how to do this http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...batteries-tutorial-post-adjustment-video.html

Rule of Thumb: the more it looks like the real thing, the worse the performance. And stay clear of auto batteries.

And Keyzgirl is right about the ohms of Clearomizers - if you are using low ohms you might not only be using up your battery power a lot faster than you are used to, you may have damaged your battery. What ohms are the clearomizers you were using?
