I, being me, and being that I am so impatient and like to try everything, ordered some batteries from another vendor. Aforementioned batteries where said to be just as good if not better than the BMF batteries. Well, I can honestly say, they are not. The auto switch just isnt as fast, close mind you, but not as quick. And I also do not like shiny black, I prefer the finish on the Bloog batteries.

Anyways, is CNY over yet? I need more batteries!!! :)

I also enjoyed seeing how you were almost strung up for asking how did the switch compare to "another vendor".
Epic.

yeah, I tried not to add any fuel to the spark that was about to light off. The thing that I do not like is when someone says brand X is the best, and has never tried anything else. I try everything, heck I just got in a Colibri Micro, and guess what, I like it alot, a whole lot. Will it replace my BMF? Probably not. Will I use it on ventures? Most likely. I like to try everything I can get my hands on for myself, that way I am judging fairly. And trust me, I love to judge... :)

I have KR808 batteries from multiple vendors now, and I will only order more though Bloog, that should tell everyone something. I have nothing to gain by lying, or by being on some brand bandwagon, as I could care less about brand, I want superior product, does not matter to me what the name printed on it says. Just so happens that Bloog is what is printed on the superior KR808 battery of the market, as well as cartomizers... :)

I don't think he was really strung up for that...not by any of the veterans with tact at least. Some people on these forums are a bit closed minded and just won't listen to anything others have to say. I don't mind trying other products outside my favorite vendor. That said, I applaud Ron for giving the other vendor a try.

Personally, I've yet to try any of the Bloog line, but I do have a Trifecta on order with a few carts. I doubt it will lure me away from my favorite vendor, but its always nice to try new things and being well rounded.

Oh, and Ron...sorry for the way some of the people over there treated you. We've had an influx of...hmm, well people that are a bit too overly loyal to that given vendor and are sadly rather tactless, to put it nicely. :(

No problem at all MrHyde. I would also recommend that you do not judge the BMF batteries by the Trifecta, two totally different playing fields. To be very honest, I really wanted the other vendors product to be as good, because they are on their game when it comes to communications and shipping timely. That being said, I am still about the best product I find in by my own means, and Bloog right now has that licked. Am I a Bloog head? sure, right now I am, as I have yet to find a KR808 that is better. If Bloog offered something like the colibri micro... then I would be a bloog head like you wouldn't believe... hehe :)

Unfortunately, I won't be trying the MaxxFusion as I dislike automatic batteries. Therefore the new auto switch or sensor matters not to me. For this very same reason, I do not own one the diamond series you recently received from the other vendor. However, once either the MaxxFusion or Diamond come in manual, I'll possibly get one (or a few) of each.

The main reason I ordered the Trifecta is because it can be used as a manual, with the downfall of course of not being a sealed battery. That and because it is the finished product once promised by other said vendor when Leaford still worked there. I'm hoping the Trifecta has the longer lasting batteries as the MaxxFusion do, though I doubt it since its not made by the same manufacturer. If not...its always something to look forward to in future developments.

:(

Just My two cents ... I also Have tried 808 batts. from a few vendors .... And I too Prefer the Bloog .... Mostly cuz of the cool rubberized look and the fast switch. However .... Something about the Maxxfusion Carts .... Im no tech guy when it comes to these things..... But These carts on ANY battery are amazing. Far move vapor production than anything ive tried so far. Of course, this means they burn thru more juice ... so I'm filling my carts almost twice as frequently .... but its soooo worth it. I cant even Imagine going back now. I Threw away all my carts from X Vendor. No Contest.

I saw your post also, I wanted to say that I liked Bloog better and thought the other one was to airy, but I was a chicken!!! :oops:

they have 3 holes, where bloog has 2

I built a setup using two BMF Cartomizers, one with "their batteries", and one with the BMF battery. I even swapped cartomizers around. Believe it or not, I even mixed them up in my hand with my eyes closed and tried multiple times, WITH gloves on. I picked the Bloog every time. Go figure. Sure, I could order more of "theirs" and possibly get one that performs as well as the Bloog, but the too airy cant be fixed without filling a hole, and frankly, I am tired of modding, and do not feel the need as the Bloog fits the bill. I am ok with Bloog charging 4$ more. I mean geez, a pack of smokes is 7$ and I went through 2 packs a day easy, so the whole vaping thing even with the loads of stuff I buy, is saving me a great deal, not to mention I have more energy, breath easier, don't get winded like I used to.. etc.. etc..

Buff Buff Bloog, pass it on!

Yup, just a standard 280mah batterywith aditional lenght because of aditional circuitry.
(result = 280mah but HUGE)

Ahh, that's disappointing :( It still looks pretty kewl though! Here's hoping Leaford will be able to get it done better with the same manufacturer the MaxxFusion are produced by like he said he'd try to do.

And I suppose I wouldn't mind the length since I mostly use XL batteries anyways.

Well... I actually did try to answer your question over there. And freely admitted to being happy with both vendors, for different reasons. To quote myself: It's not like I only shop at one grocery or clothing store. (is it tacky to quote yourself?):laugh: I don't feel like I'm being a hypocrite or anything by posting on both forums since I use both products.
My preference for the other battery is strictly cosmetic. Maybe there will be more options here some day. But I LOVE the MF cartomizers. :hubba: Just got a new order in today... more of my favorite RY4, and tried the 555 this time. Lots of flavor, and could smell them still in the condoms+foil wrap+box. LOL Looking forward to the day when there are even more flavors.

I have no issue with them, they are pretty darn close to perfect at getting shipments out, the only thing that would be better is if I got it the same day as I order it, and we all know that won't happen. I tried the "others" juice and all of it tasted too "chemical" for me, I tried the batts and we know how that ended. I also got a passthru and it is perfect, so I am not a "hater" by any means. For me the BMF cartomizers and batteries are 2nd to none. Now that Bloog has another employee, hopefully they will get things out and emails sent in a more timely manner. I will see once the batteries come back into stock, I think I will order another 5, black this time since the BMF cartomizers are black. And once Bloog releases the super mini battery, I will order a dozen of those too... (haha, couldn't resist).
