Hi,

I've been vaping Bloog maxx fusion cartos, and they're great with 100% PG, but refilling them is a problem because I like a little heavier VG blend than they seem to handle.

Just trying to "cover all the bases", I figured I'd try some V4L cartos, which are said to handle VG a bit easier.

So, can anyone help me figure out what all the different cartos are on the site? The differences between Premium, WOW, CoolCarts, etc.? There's really not much information on the site itself, and a search turns up tons of results, but none really making a nice comparison.

Thanks in advance for any help. :)

I shall do my best. Wow Carts are our lowest resistance carts at ~2.5 Ohms, so they tend to run a little hotter. They are good for standard 3.7V batteries, at higher voltage they tend to get a little warm. The CoolCarts are slightly higher resistance and work at 3.0-3.4 Ohms resistance. They run slightly cooler, they still work good but also tolerate higher voltages better (IE the passthrough). Our premium carts are mostly Cool Carts at this point, but if it does not say CoolCart, it will be a Premium Flavor in a Wow Cart. I know that sounds confusing...

Hey Frick!

The V4L cartz are great, been using V4L for over a year now and can't say enough great things about them.

The CoolCarts have a higher resistance, not sure on the exact ohm, but up in the 3.5 ohm range I believe.

The Wow carts have a much lower resistance, around 2.2 - 2.4 ohms and work excellent...they're my most favorite! They get alot hotter, obviously, than the cool carts, but produce a warmer vape and in my opinion more vapor and TH. The wow carts pretty much make it feel like you're vaping at 5 volts on a 3.7 volt battery :D

Hope that helps...I'm sure others will chime in as well.

Happy Vaping :D

WTG Mark...guess I had the ohms completely wrong haha. Will teach me not to believe everything I read by others :p

Also, I think you'd really enjoy the juices offered by V4L, especially the WoW juices. They're a blend of PG/VG...not sure on the ratio, but some have speculated a 70/30 PG/VG ratio. Pure speculation, but there ya go.

Oh, and V4L offers a wider range of nicotine strengths than the Bloog pre-filled cartz as well.

Hi MrHyde. :)

Thanks dohsme. I just didn't want to order the wrong thing, and to be honest the site makes it a little confusing if one isn't familiar with the differences.

So, it sounds like I want the Wow cartos if I want a similar vape to the Bloog cartos. Also, 70/30 is a very nice mix of PG/VG IMO, so if that's what's in the pre-filled, I should be happy.

bobbysox, I don't really need to fill with 100% VG, but using something with a bit more VG is desirable to me, and I also have a bunch of 50/50 stuff that would be nice to use without cutting it down to vape in the bloogs.

Thanks all. :)

My coolcarts don't fit on the bloog battery - don't screw all the way down - have tried with both prefilled and blanks. The wow carts fit fine though.

starsong is here too! :ohmy:

Interesting. That really boils it down then, because as far as 808 batteries, all I own are the bloogs. I wonder why they don't fit? It should be a standard KR808 thread, no? But now that you mention it, I think I remember reading elsewhere that the coolcarts don't fit -- unless I'm remembering a post of yours.

Either way, thanks for the heads up. I'll order some of the wow carts and see how I get along.


WOW- burn hotter, more vapor, better cartomizers in my opinion, better throat hit, feels more like I'm smoking
Cool- don't burn as easily, can chain vape, but don't give awesome throat hit. last longer if refilling.

Thanks, that's the kind of info I was looking for. Much appreciated.

Thanks again, all. :)

LOL, I'm stalking you Frick! Yes I've mentioned it before so it could very well have been a post of mine. Another person mentioned sanding the threads might help, but I don't want to mess with my batteries like that.

I knew it! :p

Yeah, I won't be sanding any batteries to get cartos to fit. I'd rather buy the ones that fit without modification.

I have had both Cool and Wow cartos. I prefer the CoolCarts because they seem to give me slightly more vapor and don't get as hot so I can take more hits.

I have used a 35% VG liquid with the CoolCarts and it does take a little bit longer to saturate, so you've got to spin them, but it works very well and I have some 100% vg on the way to test with them. I don't mind filling and spinning so I would suggest the CoolCarts if you don't mind, either. :)
