by putting juice in em

That is a good one, roflmao!

I have found if i put a drip or two of liquid in the battery end hole, it prevents the burned taste. There is a wicking system between the coils of the atty, could it be the drop or two actually absorbs the juice and then starts the wicking to start?

honestly I mainly drip down the sides but also using a syringe is great a lil messy but you put the juice at the bottom and pull the tip out

I've done 'the spin' to force juice down to the battery end and allow for more to be added at the top.

I was doing that when I was having problems with the 50/50 I've discussed so heavily, but now, with thinner juices, it's not necessary.

I just take off the cap, tilt the carto, and start dripping around the sides. 5 or so drops and I let it sit at an angle for a bit, then 5 more drops...repeat until ~20 drops and vape away.

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.

Well, I only ordered one 5-pack of cartomizers, so it wasn't a huge loss. I'm happy with my V4L cartomizers and only wanted to try the Bloog ones because I heard they were great.

I'd rather not get overly upset with something I have little control over. If I try something and it doesn't live upto my expectations (these cartomizers) then I'll just not use them and continue to use what I already love.

Perhaps after there is better quality control with Bloog's preferred manufacturer and they fix the problem, I'll try them again.

I suppose I could look back and find some previous post but I'm tired and lazy... so, were these prefilled or blanks? Did you use them on a fresh charged V4L bat or one that had been used for a short time? (assuming you don't have a bloog bat) Just wondering (or forgetting) what your bad experience with them involved. Cuz they really are pretty nice when used they way they were meant to be used.

not to jump on anyone... but this how much charge was on the batt hoopla really doesnt matter.. if things taste burn, they taste burn and they shouldnt...no matter how fully charged the batt is.. Mine tasted burned on a reg kr8 batt, fully charged or not.. just saying... It is fine if they only go well on their own batts but it should then be stated on the site... Anyone wanna go buy a regfusion batt to see if they work with those?

If this were the case, then it should also be stated that the MF cartomizers do not work on the Trifecta as well. However, no conclusion has been confirmed by Leaford or the staff what the underlying problem is yet.

Nine out of the ten cartos I've tried so far changed taste and/or burned. All ten used 100% VG by various vendors. After reading this thread, I'm now experimenting TW Herculian VG (36 mg) and distilled water in 50/50 ratio. Hope for better result. Will report back.

It works. I've vaped this carto completely dry and yet the polyfil shows no signs of burning at all.

Don't yell at me! just kidding....
after reading the thread Leaford had started for folks to post their MF carto experiences, I see that the cartomizers come in very inconsistent ohms (or something), with a +/- of sometimes 1.5, rather than the more acceptable .2-.4
So my burn vs. no burn on whichever battery was probably more due to that than anything else. I probably had some that were too low or too high (still can't wrap my head around that)
