Dude, you're not in the danger zone, you're home! Welcome! Want some kool-aide? Better? Here let me throw on some tunes:
Revvin' up your engine
Listen to her howlin' roar
Metal under tension
Beggin' you to touch and go
Highway to the Danger Zone
Ride into the Danger Zone
yeah, well don't blame me, you're the one that made me think of kenny loggins!
The way I see it, leaford has openly invited comparison to other products because he feels strongly that BMF is better so why not talk about them. So I'll take a hit at a more thorough answering of your questions. I will admit that the one thing that I won't do is if bloog has a product that is identical to what someone else is selling I'm not going to refer you there in this forum. Cool?
I'm a noob and confused about the model numbers.
I purchased The Bloog Maxxfusion and really like it...
But I'm confused about the different names number for the models...
yeah I feel you, I was pretty confused not that long ago myself, but feel I have a pretty good handle on it. A general concept will help here. In the ecig world, model numbers we refer to aren't like other industries where a model number means specifically one exact model with exact features. Take a toaster. Model xxy is made by Co. A and is 400 watts. If Co. A makes a 450 watt toaster it will have a different model number. If Co. B makes a 400 watt toaster, it will have yet again a different model. In the ecig world, model numbers are more like a "class" or "type".
So not all "model" read: class KR808d-1 items are identical. Mostly they share width and connection threadings.
I've heard of all these as referenced to the two piece model (bat and cartomizer):
E-8
E-9
Kr808d-1
Kr808d-2
I think those are all 2-piece units, but that is all they have in common. They do not share performance, manufacturers, or even connections.
the BMF is an updated version of the KR808D-1. It shares the width and connection threads of other 808d-1 units.
which is the newest cartomizer?
The newest bloog is the maxfusion cartomizer. There may be a couple other compatible cartos on the market that are newer than the maxfusion, but I don't think the newer ones offer any advantage over the bmf, and yes I would say so if I thought they did. Example, clear fillerless cartos have potential and there are some new ones on the market, but general consensus is they kinda suck, break and leak right now. Newer? Maybe. But depends on why you're asking you know? Why are you really asking? BTW if it's to see if there is anything newer and better out there, ask away so far as I'm concerned. Even if some think it impolite, at least I'd know exactly how to help ya.
which is compatible with what?
hm, well there are all sorts of cartos, for all sorts of models that are not compatible with the bloog. Short of going into a full history of the ecig, I really think if you have a bloog you are best off with bloog mf cartos. But there are other compatible cartos (any kr808d-1 carto will be compatible as in it will thread on and fire, but many/most? will not be compatible as in offer the same performance).
When litecigusa list " KR808D-1 PREMIUM Blank Soft Cap Cartomizers" is it the same as the maxxfusion carts?
Pretty sure no. It IS compatible as in it will screw on and fire. I don't have first hand experience, but I would guess performance would be OK on a bloog battery, but I don't think those would quite live up to the BMF cartos.
Is the "KR808D-1 Automatic Battery" the same as the maxxfusion bat?
No. Just about anyone naming it that is probably selling original design 808d-1's. Several companies have improved 808d-1 batteries that they don't hide as being 808d-1 compatible, but all the improved ones have a brand name too, like in our case the max fusion. Better switch, better battery life, regulated voltage, and better tactile finish are the traits that I prefer from bloog and I believe are only available from bloog.
Will a Kr808d-2 cart work on a maxxfusion bat?
No. think of kr808d-2 as beta max video tapes (wait, how old are you?) Maybe I should say think of ....um zip drives? laser discs? parallel ports? Whatever, they have different threads. Aside from that, there are no good 808d-2 cartos that I'm aware of, that model I think is dying out and nobody is developing it, I think.
Noprob, welcome aboard.
Tell us about you and your bloog. What size, color, flavor cartos etc. Are you quitting stinky sticks, or just testing waters?
OK, so looks like someone was way more concise than my wall o' text!!!!
