Good to see you back. Gettin a little concerned.
Thought maybe you's been taken hostage by some Geisha's, and I was gettin ready to come rescue you...

No, sorry guys, I've just been busy and distracted. Well, I am having a problem with the BSOD popping up, but that's not keeping me down too much. ;)

Hasn't been that long, has it? I know I wasn't online over the weekend, but I didn't realize I hadn't been posting for all that long. I guess with about half of the discussion centered on the website, which I can't help with, I just haven't had much to say. Well, that and I am finalizing the details on the liquid order with the factory, and won't be able to answer questions about the liquid until that's done so I can't answer the other half of the posts either. ;)

OH, but here are a few teasers; The first five liquids will be RY4, 555, Menthol, Vanilla, and Watermelon. We will add one new flavor, in both bottles and cartos. The first new flavor will be the most requested flavor by far, and as requested it will be called S.P.I. (Sorry Please Ignore). That is, IF I can get it right. If not, plan B. How does 555 Menthol sound? ;)

BTW, Griffin's labels are looking fantastic! But I might have to do some alterations to the small version for the 5ml, depending on if the small print is legible when the printed sample comes back.


This order also includes the 3.6v regulated passthroughs.

And last little teaser, we're finally ordering the rubber drip tip style mouthpieces I've been wanting. They'll be inexpensive, will sell in packs of 5, and will come in black and 5 other colors, red, blue, green, purple, and pink, hopefully in matching shades to the batts. And yes of course we will have a sampler pack with all 5 colors.

Hopefully under 3 weeks for all the above, but I will keep you posted.

In other news, the Manual batts have landed. We have 65's and 78's in Black, White, Silver, Red, Blue, Green, and Pink, and 102's in all colors except pink. The manuals feature a unique recessed switch design. The button is very low profile, and sits in a dimple in the battery tube. The button must be pushed just slightly below the plane of the tube to activate, making accidental activation by pressure against other objects, or in a pocket or purse, or between seat cusions, very unlikely. You can roll them against a table top without activating the button.

They should be listed on the site very soon, both individually and as an option in the kits.

And another new product shipped today, Try-Me and Try-Us trial kits. The Try-Us contains one battery and one cartomizer for $19.99, and the Try-Us contains one battery, two cartomizers, and a USB charger. And every customer purchasing a Try-Me or Try-Us trial kit receives a one-use per customer coupon code for $10 off your next order. (Note, that is one use per customer, even if you purchase multiple Try-Me/Us kits.) They will be available in limited flavors and strengths at first, Red and Menthol, 11mg and 24mg. And this is just a trial order, so we do anticipate selling out before the next order comes in. Fair warning. ;)

If we cannot get the S.P.I. can we get a Pina Colada or Pina Colada Mint?

Don't do it on my account. I like the automatic

Noted, but it's still a good idea, so I'm still going to try, and if not now, on another order soon. :thumb:

And it also brings to mind other options for passthroughs, like color. Do you want more selection in passthrough colors?

How about other accessories like cases, PCCs, etc?

Bearing in mind, of course, that more variety in colors divides stock, which means more likelyhood of selling out of a given color, while still having other colors in stock.

Black passthrough works fine for me, since my computer's black. You may want to at least make a white one for when people are powering from an Apple product

Leaford Im not sure i want a manual again with these killer autos, but if i did it would be to drip. In the picture on the site it shows a hole in the battery on the manuals was this just a oversight developing a picture for the site? Thanks

also note, while im sure Bloog doesnt wanna advertise the use of there products on other vendors batteries since you have no control over quality. If the idea is to sell these great cartomizers! Having a few adapters to the other battery forms may help. Its a cheap way to add value for customers thanks

You're right, that was just an oversight in photoshopping. They are sealed as shown below:

(And I have already emailed that pic to the webdesigner to update that.)

And I'll look into the adapters, but I haven't found a source so far.

Any word on when the painted cartos (as opposed to the sticker) will be available?

Thanks,

I'm afraid that idea got lost in the suffle a bit. I had asked them to check with their supplier if they had non-toxic materials for that, and they never got back to me, and I'm afraid I never followed up. Let me out that idea back on my to-do list.

If it was a cost savings to paint go for it, but i have no problem with the stickers they are all well attached and solid on mine. I do love the easy mouth piece, or rubber stopper on the end but all mine recess in after a little use. Not sure it matters just has become my new ocd thing to fix it lol
