Hey, look what I found on SmokeStik subforum. Just had to share it with ya'll. Courtesy of suzie22321 and bigblue30. [I did ask for their permission, but they are fast asleep.]



So now we know what Billster looks like. :)

Thank you, Fox Business Channel and John Stossel. And thank you, Governator, for vetoing that stupid bill.

Truly believe this... Fred: 'I think there's a Puritanical dislike of people enjoying things that haven't yet been sanctioned by the government.'

This is the true disdain that you see as a smoker or vaper. You're enjoying yourself and people lay awake at night figuring how to stop that. It's why they'd like kids in a suit of armor if they step on a skate board. "Now you can have fun!" snicker....

Tocqueville on government rules:

"A network of small, complicated rules. It does not break wills, it softens them. It does not tyrannize, it hinders, represses, stupifies, and finally it reduces each nation to being nothing more than a flock of timid animals, of which the government is the shepherd.

Alexis de Tocqueville, "Democracy in America," 1840.

How prophetic. And frightening.

Thanks for posting the video (on DVR here...) and this quote too.

Hey guys....

Thanks for the info on the MaxxFusions.

My trip was great! I drove to SB fro Xmas, then flew to RENO for New Years. Long story short, don't fly United.

So, I'm gonna get more Bloogs, because I still still have reservations. It's been ingrained after all this time, and all these bogus cartos...

But what's the general consensus? We like them right? But do we like them enough to move them to Number 1, or just into our list of Favorites?

They're my #1 choice. They Bumped Boge to #2.

Just have to get the QC on the ohms under control and then they will be golden.

Mesa, AZ...off the analogs for years!
Autopsied my Bloog tonight. I only got about 5 mm of juice through it. Wasn't burned at all but the coil on the bottom was totally full of burned juice gunk which messed up the taste. The bottom of the "cover" which rests on the coil was black as well.

I liked the draw a lot on the one I got. But whether it's burned fillings and/or socks or juice gunk on the coil, one way or the other the carto still gets tossed. So no Holy Grail from me. Drop the price and I'll add it to my very high priority list after the ohm problem gets straightened out.

OMG! The exact same thing has happened to my new Bloog maxfusion carto!! When I got it, I took a look inside and saw the horizontal piece(pure white, btw) with the atty coil wrapped around and at the bottom. Initial filling went smooth. Got about 45 drops in that sucker and the flavor was outta sight awesome! Second filling (refil) I noticed a very slight difference in flavor. Third time is when I really ran into problems. First, after refilling w my favorite juice, I noticed the center hole had closed up and I couldn't get any sort of draw. This is a minor, easily fixed issue with my V4L boge blanks:just take paperclip or toothpick to clear the center tube. This was next to impossible on the Bloog because of the atty coil placement. I finally had a bit of luck, using a straight needle. The needle came out with black crud on it, like it was an ancient carto. I then blew into the mouthpiece and to my horror, near black juice with a whole bunch of tiny, pepper-like black specs ended up on my tissue. Put it on carto and vaped. Tasted horrible, so I took it off and looked into it with a flashlight. I saw the EXACT same thing you saw (black gunk on the coil). I tried boiling it, but it didn't seem to make any difference:( If anyone knows what's goin on here, I'd love some advice/wisdom. TIA

have not used my sample bloog in a while because taste had diminished - but did not get burned taste - maybe i need to pull it apart and report back

I'm still testing my 3rd Bloog. When the taste goes bad in it, I plan to abuse it to see what happens. Maybe it will burn some of the crud off the coil.

What kind of juice are you guys using? VG, PG, or a blend? And what flavor? Just curious.

I used TV Tastyfinger 80/20 PG/VG 36mg. Leaford told me that certain juices can actually "carmelize" on the atty, if it has been overfilled and repetedly used. I can see the logic in that....if this was an ancient carto that was never properly cleaned, but mine was practically new:(

With the oem filler I keep about 1/3 as a 'plug' and still use the straw mod although I use the Johnson & Johnson safety swab shaft rather than the coffee stirrer - the double barrel coffee stirrer can get brittle and the airflow is not as good, imo. Diagonal cuts on both ends, btw, to keep the top off the bridge.

Speaking of the straw mod, I happened to visit with a manufacturer who had a prototype for a clear plastic 510 cartridge using the straw mod concept. It had basically a holding tank for liquid, and a 1/4 inch or so of polyfill inside a valve of some sort. I was told it had a one-way membrane, but I'm skeptical of that. Airflow was, I think, along channels along the sides like a normal 510.

510 users might keep an eye out for that in a few months. Not from us, I hasten to add, this isn't a promotional post. ;)

That last is understood. You do great work.

Interesting and thanks for passing that along - I've always considered an 'inter-air channel' within the cart well (perhaps part of the mold) would be a 'good idea'. The straw mod is one of those 'mods' that seem to work well for those who use it correctly - plus it makes mechanical/physical sense.

Thanks for passing that info on Leaford. A new carto to try in a few months.:)
