I do not have a problem topping off PREFILLED MF cartos with 50/50, it's just that the 50/50 produces a burnt taste for me in the new blanks. I have the latest ones that have the ohm rating on them.

This afternoon I opened a new blank and filled with 1ml of HALO Menthol Ice and it's working beautifully! These things sure have me baffled!!

I don't know what HALO's mix is and I don't think they publish it. If anyone knows will you please post the % of HALO?

BTW, HALO is a very pure, crystal clear USA-made juice.

Halo is great stuff. Crystal-clear is a great way to describe it, and it runs like water.

You won't have an issue with Halo liquid on these cartos. Their Torque 56 is my daily vape. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it.

I'm now of the opinion that it's not so much the ratio, but the viscosity of the blend that makes a juice work or not work in these cartos. All of my 50/50 is quite thick, and none of it from two different manufacturers and six different flavors will work in these cartos without burnt taste. I only have pre-filled cartos to test, but I've washed several and still get nasty taste with the 50/50 I have.

we are really trying to figure out why some are having issues and others are not... first let me say that since it is not happening on the first fill thats a good thing... can you please describe in detail

1) how do you fill your cartos...what is your method?
2) what batteries are you using?
3) is your juice clear or does it have color?
4) how do you vape? chain vapor? sparatic? do you take long slow pulls? fast strong pulls?

This info will help us get to the bottom of all this....anything else you can add would be great!

1)I mainly use the condom method, tried that silly spin but find it pointless.
If I don't feel like wiping, I'll usually pop off the mouth cap and slowly drip
while rotating.

2)I am using the shorter, mini batteries. One of them was replaced by you guys
so I finally have two working batteries. (Great customer service btw, thank you)

3)I've tried Strawberry Colada and Grape from TasyVapor. The Grape was very, very, very dark
but not too thick, and the SC was very, very, very, very light and on the thin side as well.
Both worked fine/similar in the first order of cartos I had -

4)I take long, slow pulls. Never suck too hard (that's what she said!)
I don't chain vape at all, though. I find myself reaching for it once every
few hours but vaping a good amount at that time.

1)Drip until saturated, give it a Taryn Spin, drip again, spin...only putting about 20 drops in it.
2)Bloog Trifecta
3)Medium colored menthol around 70/30 PG/VG
4)Long slow pulls

And for the record, I've only used the pre-filled menthol 16mg. Straight out of the blister pack, the first tasted burnt. I washed this one out and refilled it with another menthol 70/30 PG/VG and still tasted burnt. Then I took another pre-filled straight out of the blister pack and the first few puffs were alright, but after that it tasted burnt...like melted plastic.

I know I've reported the same thing in numerous posts about my only experience with the only 5-pack of cartomizers I've tried from Bloog, but thought I'd answer your questions regardless to help get this fixed.

I'm thinking the best option is to wait until they're fixed. I won't be trying them again until this happens.

Yeah but, aren't you a little bit disgruntled that something you paid
for is not what you expected? I LOVE the Bloog MF and all
of the other equipment when it works, but man - I feel like I gave away free money.

I guess I can contact their CS to see what they can do.

Washed out all my Bloog MF Cartos and dried them out in the oven, then let them sit for a day.

I received 70PG/30VG from FSUSA yesterday and have filled several cartos with no burnt taste leading me to believe it HAS to have something to do with the mixture of the liquid.

Just reporting my observation with these.

I have had zero issues with 70/30 from BWB and Halo juices (although Halo doesn't reveal their ratio, it's quite thin).



I am using a 50/50 juice that works great!


How 'thin' is the juice? Straight 50/50 doesn't seem to work, but a lot of vendors thin their juice with distilled water or PGA.
