It's been about 2 weeks since I tried e cigs. Waiting for my Bloog to arrive. Tried blu and njoy which haven't been a good experience (poor vapor and bad taste). So, I decided that I might give one more e cig a try. After reading many reviews, i ordered a Bloog. I know I wanted a 2 piece type and ended up looking at Vapor 4 life and Bloog. I also ordered a Vapor 4 Life pass thru and some cartos just to try. Well, the V4L arrived today. Wow!!!!! We have a hit here!!!!! I did not go out and buy that "just in case" pack today. Vapor 4 life delivered in a timely fashion (5 days) and threw in some samples. I have to say i'm impressed at their service. However, I'm not impressed with their web site. Can someone tell me the differences between all their different cartos such as WOW VG vapor and WOW vapor, premium and such. Can't find any info on the web. Also, how long does a carto last? They also sent me a sample called a coolcart. What is that? Will let you know more when I get the bloog.

V4L's carts are confusing!
Their blanks:
Coolcarts are 3.2(?) ohm, cooler on the lips, I think the vapor is still plenty warm for me (these I like)
WOW carts are 2.8(?) ohms, hot on my lips, hotter vapor and some say more TH
A variety of blank (empty) cartomizers for Vapor King and other KR808D-1 style E-Cigs
But their prefilled carts... as I barely understand it
WOW carts are just one or the other kind of cart filled with one of their WOW juices - like I am pretty sure the WOWBoy I got in a cart sampler was in a WOW cart, and the WOW 555 was in a Coolcart
The rest of their carts - I have no clue which carts they use. Maybe different kinds for different juices?
I think some prefills say they are Coolcarts.
In any case, if you get one that is too hot on the lips for you, just cut a hole in the end of a carto condom (the stretchy covers that are shipped on each end of the carto) and then out it back on the carto mouth end as a lip guard.
They don't make it very clear.
Cartos do not last as long as the liar sites say they do. The ripoff rebranders like to say a carto lasts as long as a pack of cigarettes or even 1 1/2 packs and both amounts are laughable and just not true. I think even if you ran a carto dry you would not get that much out of it. I think you can get 5-6 (or a bit more if it was filled well) cigarette's worth of drags out of a standard stuffed carto before noticing reduced vapor or a hit of bad taste and then it's time to add more juice. That is how you will get the most life out of a carto. I have been vaping one carto all day (and I was a 1.5 PAD smoker so I have vaped it about a pack's worth so far) and I think 4-5 times today I popped out the mouthpiece cap and carefully dripped some more juice down the inner sides of the carto, rotating it to drip on all side while avoiding the middle air hole. I am making sure I keep it damp to get best life out of it. However, I do no have the patience to drip and wait drip and wait to see how much i can fit in there so I am mainly just keeping it damp.
I have never vaped one dry to the point of singeing the stuffing so I don't know what the absolute max you might get out of one is if your intention was to use it once and throw it out when you singed the stuffing or killed the atty.
BTW I am using manual batteries so I think I get pretty good efficiency - no weak, warm-up or non-productive drags.

Wow cartos run hotter and create more vapor.The cool carts and premiums are the same thing,they run cooler than the Wows. The VG cartos are filled with VG liquid for people who cant vape the regular cartos.As far as how long a carto lasts it depends how you vape.I would say they are equal to about a 1/2 a pack.So a pack a day smoker would go through 2 or so cartos a day.Ive been using Vapor4life for quite some time,I really like the selection of flavors and Battery sizes.They also have drip tips to make vaping nicer,no hot cartos on the lips.
I'm a CoolCart fan. They are made by Boge as far as I can tell because they are identical in package and even when I dissect them after they die. If you get to buying blanks be sure to wait at least a half hour after filling them because it takes a while for the juice to wick into the center the first time. If you don't they will burn on the first drag. Once saturated they almost never burn unless you let them go completely dry. If you are just refilling you don't have to wait.
CoolCarts are best on the USB passthrus since they are 5V. WOWs tend to burn fast on the passtrus. CoolCarts also work well on the XL batteries which I have measured to come off the chargers at 4.2V and work their way down to 3.8. Standard batteries come off the charger around 3.8-3.9 volts and work their way down to 3.3 or 3.4. WOWs work well on all my batteries except the passthrus.
V4L does have fantastic service. The one time I had a problem with a battery (it arrived with no holes) they had a replacement on my doorstep the week before Xmas in two days. They gave me 3 weeks to send the bad one back and it only cost me 90 cents.
Bloog is supposed to have a new kind of cartomizer with a horizontal atomizer inside. I'd love to hear what you think of them when you get them. Some reports have been coming back saying they are inconsistent, but are great when they work right.
