I was vaping one of my menthols earlier, and it lost a little flavor, still had taste, but lost its flavor, then i popped a new battery on because i knew the one i was using was close to dead. Took a big wack off it, and it burned the hell out of my throat. Is there a way other than taste that you can tell a cartomizer is empty? I looked under the drip tip at the polyfill and noticed it looked pretty dry, but unsure... Noobie question

not refilling at the moment, but I am in search of some good menthol ry4 and possibly 555 juice?

I've never seen anyone sell a menthol RY4 - it would be like selling menthol Cherry, but I guess these days anything is possible. But, if you were to buy one of each juice you could invent your own blend like that.

You really need to find a juice vendor until they start selling it here. It is needed to keep your carts topped off to prevent burning them to the point of being unusable. And it will save you a ton of money by refilling your prefilled ones after they are used up.

For a RY4 I have settled on Rockstar from want2vape. It is a light tobacco flavor with hints of caramel, vanilla and honey.

Seattle from Vapor Station is really good as a menthol. Not too sweet with tons of flavor and depth and with a very nice cooling menthol.

I have no real interest in a 555. I am not overly fond of the Bloog flavor, tastes like a Thai peanut butter paste to me, and I didn't like want2vape's 555.5.

If you go to Vixen Vapors - Age Verification they will make a custom flavor for you and you can menthol to any flavor they have.

I love adding menthol to their CinfulMint. Its a cinamon with minthol flavor. Absolutely incredible.
Just a thought.

Good Luck!

EDIT*
After going to their tobacco section I noticed they have an RY4 menthol. If you click any of their flavors you can double or triple the flavor added, adjust the pg/vg, adjust the nicotine up to 36mg I think and add different levels on menthol. Its my new favorite supplier.

Yea I noticed the same about Bloogs 555. To me, it tastes like peanut butter and Frito corn chips. Filth. But I hear a lot of people loving so it definitely is serving a purpose out there.

Before I started I looked for different tobacco flavors but never found any legitimate flavors. I NEVER thought I would be vaping fruity flavors all day but thats all I do. Do you know of any tobacco flavors that taste like actual tobacco? (I was a camel filters smoker)

do you find that want2vape liquids play nicely with the bloog cartos? i just got a sampler pack of liquids from want2vape, and have been using them with both bloog maxxfusion cartos and also non-bloog cartomizers, and it seems like when i use them with the bloogs, the taste both diminishes, and perhaps almost gives a funky taste, whereas with the non-bloog cartos, it tastes much better, but less vapor. do you think something about the liquid mix in want2vape's liquids doesn't interact well with the bloog carto technology? have you found this. or is it just me?

I know that I sampled 6 Juices and liked three of them.

RockStar - Ordered a 30mL bottle
Creme Brulee - Tasted like vanilla flavored hydrogen peroxide to me.
Acid Blondie - Too thick to wick in a carto (50/50)
EcoBerry - Too thick but worked/tasted very good when cut with BWB Blueberry (50/50)
555.5 - Very perfumey and couldn't taste anything other than the perfume
Smoky Clove - Very thick but worked/tasted very nice when cut with Awesome Vapor Clove (Doesn't say 50/50 but it is very thick)

I don't have any other device but I was able to fill the cartos and did enjoy a few flavors. The flavors that I did taste were strong. But I can honestly say that the two I didn't like had a smell I didn't like. Maybe these flavors need to steep to mellow for a bit. The fact that I smell a flavor that I don't like would imply to me that it wasn't the cartos that caused the problem. I expect when I try them again in a few weeks that I will like them better.

I "think" i've read that BMF doesn't play well with lots of VG. Maybe that's is?

I won't know for sure untill I get a bunch of samples I ordered.. that all all 50/50 mixes.

50/50 will not vape well in BMF cartos unless it's thinned with PGA or distilled water. Some manufacturers thin their own juices, so maybe you'll get lucky.
