Wow
This is sad and depressing,
I've been an 808 fan forever and picked up a bloog maxfusion battery thinking that it must be the best of the best based upon reviews and hype. I have to admit it is the best looking and feeling of all of the batts I have.
I was going to order some of their prefilled cartos to try them with it to see if the combination was truly the closest to sex as advertised but now that I've read your review I doubt that I will,
I was even getting excited about signing up as one of their 'agents' based upon their warrantees and customer satisfaction policy, I meet with many who are curious about vaping and right now just send them to generic sites or this forum, The idea of sending them to a proven quality site with a good guarantee and being able to make money doing it was very appealing,
Losing friends because of sending them to a bad place or turning them off of e-cigs before they ever even get started does not sound appealing at all,
Your posting is very disappointing because I had hoped I truly found a company that I could attach my name and reputation to with confidence,
This is very disappointing indeed,

Still love my 808 beyond anything else I've tried,,,510's, rivas, assorted mods,,,,
I guess I will have to find somewhere else to hang my hat and refer people to,
Very sad,

All the cartos on the V4L site are kr8s. (All their stuff is kr8 compatible.) They're also all soft caps. I don't know who makes them, Boge, Kanger, V4L, or the Keebler Elves!

Isn't there a 510-to-808 adapter that folks can use when they want to put a kr8 carto on a 510 battery?

LOL @ Keebler Elves. Good to see you twin.

what posting are you referring to? The original? Well I guess if you let one review make up your mind, then that's a shame. I think the battery and cartos are very good and I'm not alone. But I also have hesitated referring friends just yet only because of the stock availability issues, not because of the product itself. Once things settle back into a dependable state, then I will happily refer my friends. And it seems they are finally starting to get things back in stock (yay!)

lmao .... Amazing how ppl go off topic so naturally. Its like listening to a conversation. which is how it should be I suppose.

Just wanted to point out .... Every vendors PCC for the 808 battery is crap. sry but they are. I want a PCC like the ones they market with the 501 kits. why cant we get that? will someone please make one? please?

BTW .... just tried a BMF 555 carto for the first time .... uh .... your all so right. they are terrible! so dont bother buying any .... jk ... they are an amazing vape. Just when I thought that the ry4 was my fav ....lol.

Bloog you Rock!

you can have my 510 pcc... oh wait no you cant, I threw it out cus it was terrible...... You must be kidding?? That thing was dodgy and the corners kept scratching me... If opened to get a cartridge, the batt stops charging.. The lid went haywire after 2 charges... Not a very good design.... are you really serious?

All: v4l users look down your carto. Does it have a metal wire on the wick? if yes its boge. Kangers dont and smoores are very long cartos compared to the others.

I actually started My whole vaping experience with a little peice of crap known as the Blu . The ONLY good thing about that product was the PCC. I actually loved the whole styling of the product, the batteries were smaller in diameter ....... but .... It didnt produce vapor worth a crap.

The PCC's for the 510 batteries looks very similar to the Blu PCC in pictures ive seen. I guess I mistakenly assumed they would be about the same quality too.

uh.... wow. I just went to the Blu site to pull a pic off it ..... Seems they totally revamped theyre product. Looks like a 510 design now with cartomizers. Not even the same at all anymore.

ok so bad example. guess what I want, What we all want, Is a PCC designed for 808 batts that has superior quality, has a flip top like a hard pack of analogs, fits one fully assembled e-cig, one charging batt, and 4 or 5 spare cartos.

Did i mention superior quality? we'll pay. we have money you know

Well, the m602c pcc does all that, BUT, the bat switches are sub-par compared to bmf and the cartos even more. And no, it won't charge bmf bats

Hang on there... no so about "what we all want". Maybe I'm in the minority, but I don't want the flip top design. I like the carrying case design. I can understand people liking a cig pack design if they were used to carrying them in their shirt pocket or something. But I have the advantage of carrying a purse. If the battery portion was put on the bottom, then the top portion would have more room for a couple batteries charging, and 3-4 cartos. Even more if the USB connector was somehow also in the bottom portion and was retractable or something. So the case would be a little thicker, but not any bigger.

My V4L cartos have the wire. I really don't like them at all. Totally different vaping experience than the Bloog. I do like their mouthpiece thing better, though. It stays in place and doesn't fall out in my pocket.

The mini-PCC is fine for me, because I don't want anything bigger. One charging battery and two cartos is plenty. I would pay more for a higher quality version, though.

Very sad,

I find I can't sit here and see my review scare someone away from using the maxxfusion, getting the cartomizers, or referring friends. In fact I must offer a humble apology for part of my review. Customer service is so important to me. I've unfortunately had some very bad experiences in the past. However, I thought customer service ranked above product quality because I believed products were so similar that you could find a happy replacement..... I was wrong.

I have many different models of pvs now, from many different vendors. I have 510s, Rivas, Egos, Tank systems, e9's, Smoke51 trios, v4ls, generic kr808s, just about a taste of everything except the mods which I'm just not into. I love the cigarette like feeling too much and find I crave a cigarette even after 2 months if using a fat battery style pv.... Anyway, back to the topic... I have never had a more cigarette like expericne with any pv like I'm finding with the maxx fusion. Never, not even close.

I thought I disliked the warm vapor from the cartomizers but that was all my own fault. I had ordered the "reds" since they were out of stock on blanks and found the taste to be absolutely horrible, YUK. So I cleaned the cartomizers and filled them with my own juice. The BMF cartos really produce a warm vapor, but they were actually giving me a hot and very wet vapor which was quite bad. I recently decided to re-clean the cartomizers and dry them in the oven. After doing this and then waiting a day still, I filled them up and I must say they are fantastic. The vapor is not hot or wet anymore but just smooth and satisfying. It's FULL of body! All I can figure is they must have been damp still last time producing the bad vapor, but they were dried for days so IDK?

It seems their stock issues which is another BIG downfall for me are starting to get under control...

I will recommend the MF to any new user who asks my opinion because I feel the ease of the draw, the fact that you don't need the primer puff, the fact that you can take a short puff like a cigarette, the huge vapor and TH the carto offers and the EASE of using and refilling their cartomizers without any duds so far (in 30) I think is the best for any new user, especially one without technical savy. I think nothing comes close to simulating a cigarette as well which is important to someone first crossing over....

Ok, Customer service... Yeah Bloog needs a LOT of work in that department. I think they get like a 5. Just my opinion here and realize I'm not saying they don't have a reason, like I said before and I still feel that I don't care as a new customer what their reasons are.... BUT I will continue ordering from them. The BMF is that good that I'll deal with the lower quality of service! I never thought I'd feel that way about a product, e-cigarettes or other items, but here I am, bowing my head in submission......

Wow, that was an unexpected but welcomed surprise. Thank you! I know some people still have issues with dud cartos, but lots of us haven't and think they are just awesome. Stock is trickling in. Service & the website are still a work in progress :laugh: I'm just hoping this time next month all these problems and frustrations will be just an unpleasant memory.

And its not to say the other guy doesn't have good things to offer, especially the juice and a wide variety of flavors. Hopefully we'll get those here someday soon. We've already got a real spiffy label for them!! (thanks Analog)

Anyhoooo, thanks again for the follow-up review.

You should PM intriqken and let him know how you feel now. I PM'd him before you responded with this, because I couldn't bare thinking that someone would pass up this wonderful product just based on one review.

DawnsDone, you should really edit your original post. A lot of people come to a sub-forum looking for answers, and aren't likely to make it to page 3 on a negative thread like this.

Either way, I'm glad you like the product now. I've tried the riv4l stuff now, and it's not nearly as good. I have a feeling I won't even use the 12 brand new cartos of theirs I have sitting here.

It's too late to edit now Frick, there's some time limit (I don't know what) but I looked back at mine from the same day and the Edit button isn't there. About the only way to change an old post would be if the original poster requested a moderator to edit or delete.

Ah, you're correct. I'm not used to that with forums. Most of the forums I frequent allow you to edit even old posts.
