Yeah, I tried googling it and can't come up with anything that seems to match. I have no idea what product is meant here.
I'm running them on my old V4L Batts and they work very nice, good flavor tons of vapor, they should perform great on the BMF as well I would think.
gotvapes has them. nice to hear mwa! cant wait to get them....they hold over 1 ml ml of juice if i remember right...horizontal coil

Those cartos are on the pricey side, but if they have longevity and vape well then they may be worth it. I look forward to hearing your experience with them.
Though I would need to see performance over a cycle of at least 10 - 15 refills before I would be convinced to buy for myself.

agreed...i dont think you get 10-15 refills on it tho. my guess is that the BMF cartos are superior to these...and im fine with that. i really love them cartos that came with my unit, bmf cartos are the best i have ever used...never a burnt taste, always consistent and repeated re-fills.
i just got the v-tex's and they dont work on BMF...bummer. the threading is obviously the same but the center post on the carto is too high up and doesnt touch the battery post? weird...i thought the carto was DOA until i screwed a 510-808 adapter on my ego batt and bingo...worked like a charm. bummer that it didnt work on the bloog.
I ordered some and they do work fine on my MF batteries. I have been using three of them in rotation daily for a week and have not had any problems. No cracking, leaking, or funky tastes. Now as to my personal preferences/impressions, I did run into some problems. They are easy to fill. Pop out the cap with your fingers, pour in the juice, slide the cap back in. Easy as pie. Of course the easy out mouthpiece means that you can't just put it in your pocket (The cap will come off. Learned that the hard way.) They wick just fine, and without any filler the experience is similar to dripping, but if you puff compulsively (big hit, exhale, immediately puff again, exhale, do it again) it will lose flavor and vapor around the third or fourth hit. Give 20-30 seconds and it will be fine. I like to hold my pv's in my mouth with my teeth and because the cap extends a good bit past the end of the tube it feels awkward to do this (If you try to hold it by the cap, the cap will come off.) Lastly the center tube ( the airway from the coil) is prone to condensation. Not a big deal if you keep the battery a degree below horizontal when you vape, but if you point it up expect an ouch.
In conclusion, the main selling points for these is probably ease of filling and the purity of the flavor of your juice that you will get from it, and they are clear so you can see your juice level. It gives a completely different vape from an MF carto so don't compare it to that. I ordered five boxes. Am I satisfied. Yes. Will I order more, probably not, unless they discontinue CE2's. Hope this helps.

thats odd....they dont work on my mf batts...the middle post is too low on it to get connection with the vortex center post.
I ordered a box and got 'em the other day. They fit and work fine on my BMF batteries and usb passthru. The quality was very inconsistent tho, and after reading some more on ecf in a gotvapes area, it seems they're still doing some work on these..
Some reactions:
Insanely easy to fill... Cap is loose but I haven't had it fall out on me. First one seemed to draw fine, but instead of getting an expected "cleaner" flavor, I got a very 'chemical-like' taste. Very much like if you've ever drank out of a cheap plastic cup that seems to give off that 'plastic' taste. Second one did the same... Third one seemed a little better but the flavor and draw was much weaker than a BMF carto... So I let them sit for 2 days... Popped open the 4th for another try today. MUCH better...Still feels like slightly less vapor and draw than BMF, but at least the taste was super clean.
From what I read, they are looking into removing the small polyfill wrap (ALF?) thatis located at the base. Some thought is that this is keeping it from wicking properly. Design-wise, it really looks like it should work like a champ. I may keep an eye out for the design modifications and try another batch in a few weeks.
Another thought is the juice... Tried a few variations of PG/VG balance on the first three and saw no difference. This 4th one is running on RiZEe FlueCured and seems good, but I don't know off the top of my head the PG/VG balance there...
Plastic is super sturdy and doesn't feel like it would crack easily at all...
I'll post more thoughts after some more time with this working one and/or if the 5th and final one in the box works...

the center post on the battery? how did you lift it?
never mind, i poked a paper clip into the batter hole and carto hole and wiggled it a bit while lifting up and BANG! works!!! thanks so much! wow vapor production is insane....and taste is very very clean.

i actually prefer their cartos anyway...if they improve that somehow, i will kind of surprised. im sure they can make it different...but better?
Same here, Puffer. I only use the clearos for the thicker juices, when I don't have the time or patience to get them loaded into cartos. Some of my CE2s have developed hairline cracks. I just put some scotch tape around them, and flipped them so the non-cracked side is down near the battery connection. If the vortex works well without the cracking, I may need to order some after all. But, with the filler down in the bottom, I'd worry about dry-burning to clean the atomizer. That's what I so love about the CE2s....I can get the atomizer crystal clean by dry-burning it (using my Bloog Trifecta battery *g*) and it's right at the top, so it's easy to see.
All that said....if Bloog made some version, I would be buying it in a heartbeat!!
