just playing with mine now...if i only screw the carto on the mf batt 1/2-3/4 of the way instead of completely..it lightens the draw a good amount....
Bloog Maxx Cartos flavors?

and oddly getting a little burnt taste with more airflow....
*****edit maybe more airflow affects the mf wick.... i am just rambling here... this could all be the late night crazies lol after midnight here...

I have 2 MF batteries and 2 V4L diamond batteries. I like them both for different reasons, but I like the MF more. I only use MF cartos. I do get a warmer vape from the V4L batteries. And I have to be careful with that because, yes they can burn the cartos pretty easily, especially if the battery is freshly charged. I know you say they're the same voltage (?) but for some reason they are a bit different. Also the V4L battery with a Maxx Fusion carto sounds airier, if that makes sense. With the MF batteries I get a more consistent draw with a lot of vapor. I do like to use my V4L batteries though, if I'm having trouble getting a carto to work for some reason. Not sure why it seems to work better then. Maybe it has something to do with the airiness or more heat?
i believe leaford did say for the freshly charged v4l will have a bit more jolt then a mf... and if you let the v4l settle for a min it would even out...wow i left a lot of work for leaford in this thread lol ... i will stop now
hmmm, it does help a bit, thanks for the tip!! but still its a hard draw... i just added a couple drops of juice, and now its even harder...
do you have VG in your juice beacuse people have posted the MF needing to be at least 1/2 if not more pg?

Leaford has stated that the MF batteries are LiPo (lithium-ion polymer), which is a pretty unique battery technology in e-cigarettes, if what I've read is to be believed. These type batteries are more commonly used in cellphones.
I don't know if the V4L "diamond" batteries are LiPo, but I really don't think the older-tech "standard" V4L batteries are using that tech.
Being LiPo, the BMF batteries come off the charger at 4.23V, fall to 3.7V pretty quickly, and from what I can tell, stay pretty much at 3.7V until a dropoff before the discharge cutoff kicks in and blinks the LED, and the battery delivers no further voltage (LiPo batteries can go as low as 2.7V, but I believe the BMF batteries are cutting off well before that limit is reached). It's really quite remarkable (in my eyes) that they're using this tech in such a sleek enclosure. The battery life speaks for itself.
So, what all that might mean is that the BMF cartos are designed and engineered to work with the tech being used in the BMF battery, and may not be 'compatible' with other batteries, even though the threads are the same.
I'm rambling; I'm sure Leaford can expand.

Really?!? ouch that sucks because i love VG. So yes this juice is a 100% VG, but the hard draw started before i added the juice (first time for this carto), adding the juice just made it worse...
An update... after reading about how MF cartos dont work well with V4L batteries i have been using MF batteries exclusively, havent had a burnt carto until today. Put in a brand new carto and damn, its burnt, the battery is not even freshly charged.
I don't understand this. They are the exact same battery as far as I've heard. I've never used anything but V4L batteries with my bloogs, and haven't had one problem with burning. I'd be more willing to bet that "some" of the problems folks are having is with diff types of juice.
i think its a combination of the 2...v4l batts are not regulated like ours.. bloog batts are regulated to stay at 3.6v.....so any higher voltage battery/passthru on a dry/semi dry carto can = burning from what people have reported.... dry cartos come from being empty or the juice not making it to the wick
I'll take your word for it, but I could have sworn that I read from Leaford himself that there was no diff between the two batteries. Could have been another topic though I guess.

(Leaford writing about voltage regulation on BMF bats)
yes Leaford retracted what he once said ...once we looked closer at the voltage.. that the batts do act differently...the v4l batt puts out a higher voltage fully charged.... but once a fully charged v4l batts calms down a bit they are pretty much the same voltage...
Im using the BMF Cartomizers on the M602C battery, and it rocks! I have also used them on V4L batteries with no issues, although I since gave the V4L batteries to coworkers, but they are using BMF Cartomizers too and report no issues.
I did have 2 cartomizers so far that tasted burnt when first used on a fresh battery. I was too lazy to grab the ohm meter, but I suspect they were just on the low end of tolerance, and the freshly charged batt was just too much.

Hey Vid, being a bit of an older post, not sure if this is too late, but I wanted to give you an idea of the taste of the bloog MF RY4 prefilled cartos in case you haven't tried them yet. I am not much into tobacco flavors either, but am in LOVE w/ this flavor.
I actually don't taste tobacco flavor at all, it is sweet, has an intense caramelized/burnt sugar taste, just like the torched sugar on top of creme brulee that you break through to get to the custard...it's pretty addictive and YUMM, IMHO. If you like creme brulee, you'll likely love this, but if you don't like caramelized sugar, you won't.

I think you hit the nail on the head with that one. I've heard it described as cotton candy, but it didn't seem like that to me. but the caramelized sugar on top of creme brulee... I think that is a great description.
I think you might be referring to my initial description of the RY4, where I mentioned it tasted of cotton candy.
To be fair, it was my first day vaping, off analogs, and my very first carto of RY4. My buds did eventually start registering it as a caramel flavor, but I've wanted to get some cotton candy, ever since.
