Kembial, I've heard it described that way several times. Didn't let it stop me from trying it though because I also noticed it was one of the most popular flavors. It quickly became one of my favorites.

And Frick, it isn't so much it tastes like crème brûlée (and yes, I copy-pasted that too!), but just the sugar on top.

I've tried to make my own, tried versions from Liberty Flights & V4L, and none of them taste the same. So I don't know if Bloog's is the typical way it should taste or if they are way off, but whatever it is, I do like this one the best.

Everyone knows the sugar on top is the best part. :)

Bloog's RY4 is not typical of RY4 at all, in my experience. Joye RY4 (I think it's Dekang) is decent, but nowhere near as good as Bloog's. It's a lot harsher. I had another Chinese RY4 that's very similar to the Joye, but sweeter and a bit more 'vanilla' tasting. I wish I could get my hands on some BWB RY4, because it's said to be the best...but he hasn't had any in stock in a long time. I think I remember reading somewhere that he's having trouble getting one of the flavorings he uses.

When the carto is good, Bloogs RY4 is crazy good, addictive, heaven sent. But at least for me, my cartos have not been great.
I have loved Bloogs RY4 from the start, I bought 100 packs of it in one month. But the last two orders I got there were burnt cartos, lots of them tasteless or lose flavor very quickly. So bummed, frustrated... :(

10 of them have been RY4, 24mg. They've been nothing but perfect. I refilled one of them over 20 times and it's finally a goner. I have another that's been refilled no less than 10 times. If I use thin juice, they vape fine all day.

I dont really have any problem refilling them (as long as they are not burnt to start with). My problem with them is the prefilled flavor not tasting the same as how it was before, also not as long lasting.

How long before you need to refill? I know it is kinda hard to say, for me, I open a fresh one in the morning on my way to work, usually take about 4 breaks of 5 mins during work (shhhhh...dont tell my boss)... Then soon after i go home the flavor is pretty much gone. So i'd say each prefilled lasts only about 30 mins of vaping. Is that the same for you?

Cough, some of my ry4 cartos burn up pretty quick too.

There's a whole HUGE thread on the bloog forum http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/bloog-electronic-cigarette/164881-what-funny-tasting-cartos-look-like.html#post2761748 that talks about some issues that bloogs maxxfusion cartos are having right now, and another thread that discusses possible silicone glue, burnt wicks, etc.http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ion-cartomizer-autopsy-parts-explenation.html. They are waiting on response from Leaford who is supposed to be looking into this. You may be interested in checking it out to find some more info...but: warning, it might make your head spin ...info overload...great info none the less.

In my case, I think the burnt taste is coming from the burnt wick...possibly caused by my batts that are too high voltage for the bloog cartos that are about 2.6ohm (LR) causing them to burn up inside, and FAST. Not sure what batts you use...are they bloogs?

Anyhow, this may be getting off topic, so I'll shush it :) Just wanted to share that with you....you're not the only one w/ the burnt taste issue.

Thanks SweetPuff, you know how much i love bloogs RY4 :hubba: so yes i know about those threads and have been following. I used to use V4L batteries, but after i learnt that they can cause cartos to burn i started using bloogs batteries exclusively. Still i am getting burnt ones, just today I had another one, brand new and burnt. Besides the burnt issue, a lot of the cartos in this shipment actually tastes pretty ummm, plain, tasteless, i am getting to the point i want to give up on them, but i miss the taste of their RY4!!:cry:

I've gone through 3 boxes of RY4, still have 2 in the wings. None have been bad or flavorless. And none get used up in only 30 mins. vaping time. One thing I have noticed that after using it for awhile, the flavor does seems to fade. But I set it aside for awhile, then pick it up later and it is better again. It also makes a difference if the battery fresh or getting low. I'm using one right now (9pm) that I opened this morning and have been vaping with in spurts all thru the day. Have you set aside one that you thought was used up, then tried it again a couple hours later on a fresh battery?

I use 1.5 cartos per day if I'm not topping them off. I was a 1.5-2 pack-a-day smoker. They last quite long for me, and I tend to chain-vape when I can. For the record, they hold 1ml of juice, so maximum 2ml per day for me is plenty.

I'm giving up on them for now too, but wow...that RY4...ahhhhh! We may still be in luck though...I read bloog might be releasing their juice for sale! If it's true, we're gonna have to throw a virtual party on ECF!!! :)

A little off topic again, but...the lightcigusa standard res. blank cartos have been working beautifully on my v2cigs 3.7/4.2v batts....no burning yet, so you might have luck w/ those on your V4L batts (I think they're the same ...at least both are kr808d1's). They're pretty cheap too...so if that juice comes out, you could try them out if you haven't already :).

You realize you are posting in the Bloog forum, right?

Sorry PMOS! I do, just trying to help cough out. Promise not to post here about non-bloog stuff anymore.

Just to clarify, the bloog cartos are the best I've used to date...just having some issues w/ them right now, and once I figure out how to fix it...I'll be totally faithful to them again :).

You know, I am really jealous now... seriously...

No once the flavor is gone, i dont vape it unless i add new juice, because if i vape it again, usually i will get the burnt taste, the last thing i want to vape!! i also try not to use fresh battery on cartos that have been vaped, because according to my research, a fresh battery can also cause burnt taste. Here is a pic i have sent to customer service, the one on the left is the RY4, on the right is grape, you can clearly see the brownish color with the RY4. Do yours look the same?

Hey, I'm not afiliated to Bloog ;)
No need to apologize.

Sweet, FYI, I have ordered the cupcake you did a review on, I really need something else to replace my beloved bloogs RY4. I dont want to but I am really frustrated with my recent experience with their prefilled ry4s.

None of my cartos, in any flavor, have had that brown look on the caps or condoms. Something is wrong there. Let us know when they reply, because I've never seen that (and I've ordered Kamel, Red, 555 and RY4).

oh my lord, this is like months of mystery i was trying to solve, i thought you guys also receive the same thing but somehow have different experience!! But how can i be so lucky?!? I ordered 25 packs, all in that color, they took them back and i thought that must be a bad batch, i ordered another 50 packs, all 50 exactly the same colors. Leaford also looked at the picture and said they are not supposed to be discolored like that. But i havent heard from them since, I just sent an email to customer service, i think i will have to ask for replacement. Thanks Frick for the clarification!!
