Hi Guys
I'm not a big poster but I've been vaping on and off for more then a year but have yet to go 100% analog free.

I've been buying most of my gear from another vendor on the forum, I won't name them but they offer lot's of sales and discounts....
I get great customer servive there but unfortunately the quality of their products is not consistent.

For example, I have 3 diffrent manual batterys sitting in front of me right now, all 808 style (vapor King) and about the same age. Each one of them performs diffrently! One is like sucking on air, one is perfect, and another is some where in the middle.... and all of them need special maintanence such as propping up the battery post with a paperclip, Manual buttons that don't work.....

It's extremely frustrating and one of the reasons that I keep going back to analogs.

I've already decided that I want to stick with the 808 style standard size auto battery and use cartos.. But the most important thing I want is for them to work the same everytime!

Can you guys give me some opinions if Bloog offers what I'm looking for?

I'm also curious if anyone has used other 808 (Specifically Vapor King) chargers on their Bloogs and if they cause any issues...

Thank you!

Hi DaTrader,

I've been Blooging since April and have been very happy with Bloog performance.

I own 3 auto 78mm batts that I regularly rotate, a 102mm and a 78mm manual. Mainly use the autos as that is my preference, so the manual is a standby for me. I have been only using Bloog chargers and PCC, so not sure if that makes any difference. Bloog has made the transition very easy for me from analogs, don't think I would have been able to quit analogs with out Bloog. Never needed a paperclip to charge a battery, I do use 2 wall chargers and a PCC.

At first it was a very long wait as the demand was high...but the wait was well worth it...and the stock issues seem to have been resolved. I was off of analogs with in 2 weeks of receiving the starter pack...and haven't looked back since. The thought of smoking an analog...hmm, don't think I could do it ever again. Customer service has been very good since the problems have been resolved with keeping up with the demand for product . Customer service has been stellar the last few orders which were received with in 3 days via USPS...and I live on the US left coast.

A batt will usually last me about 4 hrs when vaping heavily, which I find that I enjoy the flavor and end up vaping heavy. I was a 1 1/2 pad smoker. Usually 2 batts will get me through the day, but weekends/social occasions I'll go through 3 batts a day. Only time I've noticed any issues such as sucking on air is when it's time to recharge the batt, all my batts perform the same for me, regularly.

Try the Bloog, you will be happy you did.

This is the first time I've posted on the Bloog forum, and and I'm not affiliated in any way with Bloog except that I am a happy customer.

i would say get the batteries and PCC from volt and get juices from bloog. Or just get it all from bloog, but it is a very consistent product. I have plenty of mods and I still enjoy vaping my bloog every once in a while when the situation calls for something more discreet. My batteries have lasted me quite a while too, i have 4 in rotation and they still work perfect after 7 or more months of use.

Cartos from volt or bloog are the same, same with the batteries, but bloog juices are actually VERY good IMO. Currently my main vapes are both bloog juices:

RY4
Vanilla

Just my 2 cents =)

Thanks for the reply's guys! I've been reading through the Bloog section and see very few bad reviews. I just took a quick look at the Volt website and read a review on this forum and it appears that they are exactly the same with the exception of the juices and a slight difference in price.
I would prefer to stay with one vendor, so if Bloog has good customer service and high quality then I'll probably give them a shot!
Thanks Again....

In my honest opinion Bloog is the way to go, several companies claim to have the same battery as the maxxfusion but they are not regulated the same.

Bottom line : Bloogs Rock. yes ... sometimes I get bum cartos ... but you'll find that anywhere. I dare anyone to show me an E-cig better than the Bloog. And I'm not talking about any un-wieldy box-mod or riva or ego .... none of that S$%t is for me man. Cig size E-cigs only. Bloog will top them all IMO.

I (and I think several of the regulars here) came over from the RIV4L, where I will say I experienced excellent customer service but had some very inconsistent hardware as well as having less performance than I had hoped for. What brought me to Bloog was the performance boost, more puffs per charge, more vapor per puff, and longer lasting cartos were all promises the Maxx Fusion made good on.

What has kept me with Bloog is the consistency, I have had one batt go bad after about 5 months of heavy use, but none of my other batts (5 remain after the dead one) have shown any sign of wear. I've had a single cart go through as much as 90ml of juice before not producing a vape I was happy with (most last for about 30ml it seems which equals about a week and a half for me). The fact is, I need an ecig i can pick up and use without doubts about how it will perform and the Bloog MF has been that, so I can't imagine a need for a change.

In the beginning I used V4L chargers with my Bloog but they have long since died and I use Bloog chargers only. It is important to accept that with electronic components of any kind, there will be failures along the way and Bloog really shines when it comes to customer service. I have been using Bloog since before the Maxxfusion Revolution and they are an innovative group that cares about their customer. Happy Blooging!

Guess I might as well throw in my 2 cents worth now.
After trying 3 other brands of E-cigs, I settled on Bloog almost 8 months ago.
I still have one of my original batteries in rotation going strong. Probably would have had both of them but I found out they don't float very well.
I've grown with the crew thru the CS issues that seem to have all but disapperaed.
I've grown with them thru the stock issues which have also been greatly reduced.
Both of these are to be expected from a company that is growing as fast as Bloog is.
I've also stuck around thru the shipping problems. Right now, my orders arrive at my door every week like clockwork.
Even before I met everybody (sorry Leaford, hopefully next time) I would say Bloog had a pretty good team. But after I have seen them in action, up close and personal, I can safely say that I would put this product up against any e-cig on the market today (and I do on a regular basis) and the people that are behind this lineup of PVs and supplies is second to none.

The only thing I can see changing is the quality is always being improved upon, to keep us on the cutting edge.

Thanks to all at Bloog for doing what you do.

Long Live The Bloog............................... lol

Although I have a bunch of other stuff, my to-go stuff is simply Bloog, and my Bloog kit is always with me.
Never had a single failure, even from my original equipment, and when opening a cartomizer or a new e-liquid bottle I don't even think about consistency. It's simply there and is now a given fact for me.

I also started out at the supplier who offers constant discounts and great customer service. Like you, I got fed up with the defective and/or inconsistent product. Yah, they have great customer service but who wants to spend all their free time returning defective product or on their subforum getting advice on how to fix temperamental batteries and cartos?

I can't speak for Bloog batteries as I switched over to big battery mods, but I will say that Maxxfusion cartomizers are simply the best (by far) IMHO. I have never received a bad one and not only are they consistent from carto to carto, but they last forever. Give them a try, you won't regret it.

Hi DaTrader!

I've been letting our customers speak on this issue, because I knew what they would say. ;)

Consistency is one of my main goals, because I know how important it is to a smoker making the switch. You want the same consistency you had from tobacco cigarettes. If we're going to help more people switch to vaping, consistency is the key. And that's a BIG reason why I chose our current manufacturer.

Airflow through the battery is a big part of that. Back when I was working for V4L we were always pushing for lighter airflow, lighter airflow, lighter airflow. But I thought that was a mistake. What I wanted was the RIGHT airflow, ie close to a tobacco cig, and to make sure that it was absolutely consistent from puff to puff, and from one battery to another.

But there was at the time NO way to ensure that. Because there was NO way to measure it! That was one of the first ideas I gave my engineer friend, and he implemented it when he opened his own factory. He created a wickedly clever airflow measurement device using a deceptively simple air bubble device. Like a carpentery level, it uses a bubble of air within a water filled tube. They attach a battery and draw air through it, and if the bubble stays within the right range it passes. If not, REJECTED!!!! :D

So, yes, we have the consistency you want, DaTrader! I hope you've tried them by now, and have seen that for yourself. If not, I'd encourage you to do so! :thumb:
