Well I am vaping on a boiled carto and it works just as if it was brand new. It's not 100% true for every carto I boiled but so far I have had good luck. One of the cartos was kind of "meh" so I left it to soak up the juice evenly overnight to little effect, so I assume I will have to vape the last little bit of water out of that one or something.

With the cleaned carto that works though it is like it's a brand new carto. I will be doing this again in the future and trying different drying methods.

Instead of boiling, use this method:

YouTube - KR808D-1 Carto Cleaning: Quick-n-Easy.

As long as you haven't vaped your carto completely dry and burned the filler, this works, and it's quick and easy, just like the title says. The drying method he shows works too... Even though he holds it off camera and looks kinda perverted :2cool:

Well time for some bad news. Others have been posting on the forum about a problem where their PCC only half charges the Battery and I have been noticing this more and more with my PCC as well. At first it seemed the problem was a less than 100% charged battery but now it doesn't matter if I have it plugged in or not, it only charges for 2 bars and stops.. Not a huge deal but since this kit came with no other means to charge my batts it is a little annoying.

My guess is that it's the PCC to blame, being faulty or not making a proper connection to the two charging posts. I will get in touch with Jack though.

Noiz, can you use a regular 808 usb charger for the batts?

I wouldn't believe so, generally chargers are rated by the Voltage and mAh they put out, this basically determines the speed at which a battery charges and the resulting voltage after charging.

(Example; One can use the standard 510 charger for their eGo battery, but the charge will take a good 8-10 hours to complete, vice the eGo Fast Charger which only takes 2-4 hours depending on the mAh rating of the battery)

So basically a bloog battery is rated at 220 mAh and a regulated 3.6 volts where a standard 808 battery is supposedly 4.2 volts fully charged and is unregulated.

So the short answer is "No" :p

Noiz, have you tried this suggested workaround - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/canada-forum/188844-solution-bloog-charging-problem.html or checked in the ecf bloog forum Bloog Electronic Cigarette for any related posts?

Actually I have tried this andthe odd time I do end up with a full charge doing it this way. Most of the time though I end up having to start the charging again 2 or even 3 times to get it to fully charge.

I suppose this isn't the end of the world, but it is really annoying lol

i dont think the pcc is only half charging i think its just a problem with the readout on the pcc, mine does this too but when i let the pcc charge it and then it reads half full , i take it out off the pcc and hook it up to my wall charger and the green light stays on indicating that the battery is infact fully charged , so the batteries are getting fully charged it just a problem with the pcc display meter

One tip I have seen for removing the "stickers" is to put the carto in the fridge for a short while, I leave them at least 30 minutes, on the cartos I have tried this on the stickers come right off along with the adhesive.

Just a tip, as I have only tried it on a few, but it worked well for me.

I will have to give that a try! In my experience that adhesive is a pain to remove if any gets left behind. In the past I have tried many other ways (not your way though) to remove it all and the scouring pad soaked in Isopropyl Alcohol is all that works for me.

I would imagine goo gone would work too but I feel much more comfortable using Iso because it evaporates so quickly and has less chance of getting into the carto and staying there.

That is quite possible because I notice the performance is great fresh out of that charger, like one would expect with a fully charged battery. Even still it is kind of weird, and thus makes the charge level indicators useless :/ But hey, if it works it works right

ya i just tried it again , i have a battery in my pcc that i hit charge on last night , i looked it said half charged , i took it out and plugged it into my wall charger the blue light ont the cig blinked three times and went out and the light on the charger stayed green instead of turning red and the blue light on the ecig staying lit to indicate its charging , so the pcc's battery indicator is .... but it does still work

its says 4.2v=200 mah,i did ask jack at happy vaper if it was ok to use , the bloog battery will hit the same down to the last puff before it goes dead because its regulated , so the performance doesnt change as your battery drains u can charge a dead bat for 20 min and it will still hit like it does fully charged , the kr808 fully charged is 4.2 because its not regulated and as you vape the performance and the voltage progressively decrease

Ok, well it makes sense that it works with such small variation in the mah and voltage output. I could see the Bloog charger would work a bit faster and be rated for 220 mah, so it would be charged in an hour flat instead of an hour and some like the 808 charger.

I assumed it would be best to stick with the bloog charger and don't own an 808 charger, so thanks for clearing that one up wood!

PS: The Maxx Fusion batts do start to trail off right before they die, I assume that this is because once the voltage of the battery itself drops under 3.6 volts the regulator ceases to regulate. It would require a boosting circuit after that point

i was shocked the bloog kit didnt come with one i didnt even notice while ordering it ,
i do feel the pcc is crap i like the old 510 pcc better, my pin that contact the center batery post is stuck in so i have to pull it out every time i want to charge a battery , i dont like that i have to hold it down for 3 second to charge cause if i forget to im screwed when the battery in use dies , i dont like that it doesnt have room for a couple cartos , the indicator doesnt work its just cheap and chinsy , the bloog still rocks but the pcc needs some work
