Some of us appreciate your honest feedback Dawn. You are not here complaining about something you have not tried or experienced. You are here because of ongoing issues that frankly still have not been resolved.

Just a reminder: I didn't take issue with complaining about this product in here. That's exactly where it belongs. My comments were only about making remarks about this product by name in another product's forum.

I agree, they wouldn't be able to do anything about a bad experience from another vendor any how except to offer sympathy (we can give you that, I am sorry you've had so many problems)
but no matter how you look at it, perception does matter and your voice will be heard better if truth is spoken with kindness. Just my 2:2c:

Thanks Dawn. Your post expressed a lot what I have been feeling lately.it also brings to light an attitude that I am starting to see here I never have before. I've been a lurker for over a couple of years and lately posts seem to be very polarizing. Self proclaimed experts giving opinion based on generalizations rather than specific experience and general defensiveness at others opinions.

In my experience, the less a vaping device resembles a cig in size, the better it performs.

I would advise against ANY ecig with ANY brand name that comes with these small, automatic

batteries. I quit analogs completely only when I started carrying amps of battery life rather than

milliamps. Two ten dollar 18650 batteries have 5 amps or so of stored charge for vaping. The Bloog

has far less than half an amp. I see no mention of the mAh rating of their batteries on their website.

Hmmm.

hehe one can hear you havent tried a horisontal coil carto on a small batt...
mAh's are:
65cm- 220mAh
78- 320mAh

I started vaping on an eGo with LR attys. I didn't come close to quitting smoking.

Only when I got into 808 devices did I get the "analog experience" of holding it, vaping it like an analog...my habit needed that, for whatever reason.

It's different strokes for different folks. I can carry my mini-PCC with spare cartos and be good for an entire day in something the size of an iPhone, so I see no need to carry larger batteries or mods.

Was it something I said?
Under the radar, I'm walking around with a total of 2.44 amps powering my bloogs. I've got an additional 5 amp or so that I don't bother with because who the hell needs more than 2.44 amp before they plug in?
Anyway:
220 mA mini batteries x 2 = 440 mAh
1000 mA PCC batteries x 2 = 2000 mAh
= 2.44 Amps in less space than I carried tobacco for years
I also have a portable backup battery thing which I can't imagine I'll need for anything other than camping trips, but it'll bring me up to about 8 amps in about as much space as I used to tolerate with tobacco.

So how many amps do you go through in a day?

The 65mm batts are rated at 220 mAh
The 78mm batts are rated at 320 mAh
They are coming out with a longer version 102 mm that is suppose to be rated at 420 mAh.
 

Doomed!

If I may...

The PCC isn't cheap. Ok, not that cheap. I've had mine for over a month and haven't had a problem with it. It's light plastic, but it seems sturdy enough for my purposes. Saying that you don't like the PCC because it looks like it won't last a month without using it for a month is kind of a silly argument. That being said, I would love to see the PCC in metal. I would definitely pay more for that. Imagine that PCC in a sweet gun metal black...

But, if you don't like them, you don't like them. I for one love the warmth of a bloog carto. The main problem I have with the ego is that it has a really cool draw, even on a LR atty. I don't like that. That doesn't feel like smoking to me. Some BWB cassablanca in a bloog carto is an analog killer for me. Dripping the same juice on my ego doesn't do it for me.

I totally feel you on the red cartos. I don't like dekang juice. They all seem to taste like peanuts to me too.

Bottom line: different strokes for different folks. I don't agree with everything you said, but I appreciate the review. So, thanks.

Like RB37 says, just develop a PCC that holds 1 charging bat, 1 assembled ecig and a couple of cartos. It's not that hard.
The M602C PCC has these features (with just a little bit shorter bats) and 1400mah, but their cartos are rubish and so are the bat switches.

Or just get us those shorter bats and I'll use them on the M602C PCC :)

Low mAh means more recharges and a low C rating. Automatic batteries are better than nothing, but not by much. 420 mAh is still too wimpy to give me good service. Automatic batteries started me on the journey to finally becoming an ex-smoker. When I stepped up from automatic to larger 900 or higher mAh manual batteries and big-battery mods, I actually QUIT smoking analogs.

Just like having a car with a too-small engine, you realize what you were missing when you drive a model that consistently provides plenty of power.

P. S. I use about 5 amps a day (5,000 mAh) at around 4.4 volts, and if I decide to stay out all day and night... :oops:

Absolutely right, though. To each his own. Whatever gets us off analogs!

Exactly as I stated earlier. Low mAh means more recharges and a low C rating. Automatic batteries are better than nothing, but not by much. 420 mAh is still too wimpy to give good service to the user without constant recharges, unless the user only vapes lightly compared to an ex pack-a-day smoker. When I stepped up from automatic to manual batteries, I actually QUIT smoking analogs.

5 amps a day doesnt leave much time to work.. or talk.... or breathe.....

sounds like you trying to convince us we need to get bigger devices in order to kick analogs... I get a little provoked when you write your opinion as if its the only way to look at things.. for me it was the other way around. Started with an ego, then titan, then riva. Finally i upgraded to kr8 world, and no longer needed turdcigs... And ya i realized what id been missing when i got a decent PV, like the kr8. And im a chainvapor and make it work, so its possible...
Long time between charges does NOT equal good performance. Only the feeling you get when you use it do. My dream would be to take the improved insides and make a chubby shorty auto...700mAh (since the long greencig has 900 i figure the shorter equivalent could be around 700)

Your analogy is completely wrong. It's not the engine size. At most it would be the tank size.
And saying an ex-pack a day smoker can't make due with the PCC for a day is also wrong in my experience. (I smoked 1&1/2 packs a day and I chain vape)
I can also make due with an ego for most of a day, and thats "only" 650mah.
5ah? to each it's own, you're right.
