I stopped ordering from another popular vendor of KR808-D1's because I never knew what I'd get whenever I ordered. The battery and carto designs changed so frequently, without notice, that one could never be sure what version you'd get when you ordered. And different carto flavors and different size batteries would run out of the old stock at different rates, so you never knew if you'd get the latest design, or the previous ones still in stock. I so hope Bloog doesn't follow that path. Even cosmetic changes can make a difference when you have finally found a product you love. PLEASE be more consistent with Bloog products.

THIS! THIS! THIS! I really hope someone at bloog is listening.

I asked Chris as Bloog to view the thread that I linked with images and everything. I never got an answer as to why there was a change but he was very kind enough to send me a new battery even though I had no major performance issues with the two I originally ordered.

Hopefully this Leaford guy will post something soon? I dont know much about him but from what Ive read he is kind of the spokesman for the Bloog throughout this forum which I would assume he would be posting daily. Since Ive been a member he has posted once. Kind of makes you wonder if there are problems occurring with the company. Who knows.

I changed the ashcap for two reasons.

For one, as someone mentioned, it makes it look less like an analog, which I've always supported.

But the bigger reason was that while a traditional ashcap curves right from the join with the tube, scattering the light mostly forward, the "target" cap extends straight for a milimeter or two, scattering more light to the sides. Meaning that the "target" cap has an edge which lights up and is much more easily visible to the user than the traditional ashcap. I hate it when I can't see the LED.

You know, this has been an unvoiced minor annoyance of mine. During normal, daytime use, indoors, I cup the ashcap with my fingers, so I can easily see the reflected light. Does the target cap help battle the full outside daylight, though? I'm starting to look vain, stopping in front of reflective surfaces to see if my LED is lighting, or flashing!
