Hi Leaford, Thanks for taking an interest.
I'm not sure the batt's I have, they came with the kit I bought from HappyVapour here in Canada. The MaxX Fusion box came with two batts, 5 empty cartos and the pcc. I have no problem spending money on quality and the money I've saved on analogs already has more then paid for what I've spent. Are there bigger batts I can buy or something? I'm currently without because for some reason or another both of my batts are dead (even though I always have one charging) and this was my biggest fear 'going without'.
I really think this is the best product out there from what I've been able to discern form two years of research (before I decided to switch to vaping). However I really get the best drag on the third pull and that usually when I get the burnt taste. I'm new to this and realize there are probably many nuances that elude me thus far and I appreciate your (and everyone's) most valuable input.
Tell me how to get the most pleasure from your product and I'll gladly spend the money.
Bloog has 3 sizes of batteries: 65mm, 78mm, and 102mm, the longer the battery, the longer it goes before needing a recharge. Your kit would have had 65's or 78's, since there currently is no PCC for the 102's. As for the burnt taste, I dunno. Is it possible you got Fusion bats instead of MaxxFusion? I don't know how to tell the difference, but I know the older Fusion batteries were not regulated the way the MaxxFusion ones are.
OK, Im very sorry guys, I have had a lot going on lately, which I will post about below.
Gubby, sorry I didn't get back to you. THat's inexcusable on my part busy or no. But AW is right about the batt length options. IIRC, you got your starter kit from HV, right? Their kits, IIRC were 65mm, with 78mm batts sold individually, so you are getting the right amount of duration for the batts you have. If you want to order 78mm batts for longer duration, they have them, and I believe they will have 102's fairly soon.
As for the cartos tasting burnt, sorry again, I actually didn't see that earlier. I have no ready explanation. You are using our batts and our liquid so the usual causes, which the MFV2 improvements were designed to correct, aren't at play. All I can guess is it is either an individual matter of taste, like maybe some component in the flavor you are picking up on, or OTOH they could be some of the rare but unavoidable bad carts. Anytime you're not happy with any MF product, please just contact your distributor's CS and ask for an exchange. I can't speak for HV, but if it were us, we would take them back for you.
Anyway, as for what I've been busy with; Some resupply items have been shipped and will be landing soon, including more accessories, more of the threaded PCCs, and 78mm accessories kits containing them for those who prefer them to the standard 78mm PCC; more RY4 cartos, and more PTs (INCLUDING the NEW regulated 3.6v PTs; a market first and totally exclusive to Bloog).
Speaking of Passthroughs, they are our next color expansion target, or might be at least. EIther that or the PCCs. What do you guys want more, new colors for PTs or for PCCs?
Shipping soon and landing next week are the first liquids!! THe labels just got in tonight and are looking beautiful! Thanks Griffin!!!
And our newest flavor, SPI (Sorry Please Ignore), having passed all the office taste tests, should be filling bottles and carts by the end of the week, and in the states by end of next week.
And I am currently making great progress with our new PCC. If no new hurdles arise, I think end of July is a reasonable goal for the first units to be available. But Murphy being a ..... and all, I'm setting August for the ETA instead.
And, our EXCLUSIVE MF V2 cartomizer improvements have proven a success, based on the HUGE drop in reported burnt taste issues from users of HV power sources or High VG liquids. Nothing is ever perfect, and we still get some customers with issues, but I think it's down to the inevitable manufacture variances now (ie the rare but unavoidable bad cartos), the relevant design flaws seem to have been improved significantly.
SO, I am turning my attention to the next stage of exclusive MF improvements, and targeting the batts for improvement. I could use your feedback as always of course. WHat do you see as remaining weaknesses in the MF batt design or performance? Personally I see two things I want to improve on; I want to increase the cutoffs across the board from 5 seconds to 7 or even 10. Not that MF needs it, but some people like it and if Tim Allen taught us nothing else it's that more power is always more awesome! Second, I want to try to solve the vulnerability of auto batts to liquid damage. I can't say more yet, but I have a couple different approaches I am going to try, and see what sticks.
ALso, I am just now starting to work on the next step for Bloog product-wise, beyond MaxxFusion. I have a vision for a totally new e-cig design concept. SOme new technology, but more a repackaging of existing bits into a more systematic whole.
The center concept is to take existing technology, strip them down to their core elements, and streamline them into a new core unit from which the entire range of current e-cig designs can be incorporated into one fully integrated, interchangeable, and modular line. Imagine being able to use all your carts and batts of sizes ranging from true cig-sized (85mm long, 8mm diam or so) through KR8 size and up to big batt mods and even box mods, ALL with the same chargers, PCCs, PTs etc.
Imaging refilling accessories that making refilling almost as quick and easy as swapping a prefilled carto, and chargers and PCCs that make keeping your e-cig continuously charged nearly effortless; literally as simple as setting it down or putting it away, and which again work nearly interchangeably across the entire spectrum of size and length options.
And with modularity being one of the core concepts to the line it is nearly infinitely expandable, making it easier, faster, and cheaper to expand the possible range of features to include almost anything and everything you consumers and ECF posters have ever asked for in an e-cig, without bloating the core units into ungainly monstrosities.
AND I have definitely not forgotten my promise to amend my slacking ways around here and be my active self again on this forum. It's been too quiet here for too long. Tell you what, why don't you guys give me some ideas for picking things up around here? WHat would you like to see? More contests? Maybe some polls or e-cig related news or topical threads? Would you like to see a daily Leaford's Diary, even if it has more non-ecig stuff like life in China, or personal news, or whatever? (I mean, I don't always have daily Bloog updates to give even if I wanted to. Unless I start making things up just to screw with people.
)
[Bloog's lawyers would like me to state that Bloog LLC in no way endorses nor encourages screwing with people, not is it our policy to do so.]
