After reading a number of threads from this and other forums, I have found a number of commonalities regarding this technology and what it is ultimately capable of accomplishing. Major points include some of the following:
#1: Although over the long haul, transitioning to e-cigs is less expensive - but, not initially. Finding a reputable vendor on your first attempt that a) delivers quality product, b) priced affordably, and c) delivers a similar if not better analog experience, is a dream. With so many products available and so many scams - the road is treacherous and filled with many pitfalls.
#2: There is a lot of good advice available at your fingertips AND there are many folks clearly in bed with vendors peddling substandard product.
#3: The trick is to find something that works for YOU and you alone. There are so many different tastes, experiences, cost levels, and product availability - it can be overwhelming.
For those of you looking for an affordable, simple, analog-similar device, try the MaxX Fusion line at BloogPlanet.com. The older tech (the Fusion line) uses 808 batteries available from most other distributors.
My wife and I, now Ex-smokers of 25+ years thanks to this technology; the e-cig changed our way of life. I, being the heavier smoker, and my wife, who is very averse to change, after much trial and error and at great expense, have finally found a product that works so well, that I sincerely believe could put Big Tobacco out-of-business.
Having personal success on quitting tobacco use by my third vendor - my wife was still on the fence. Then I bought my Bloog - and it went missing the day after I recieved it. I found it hours later when my wife needed a new cartomizer! My wife finally was off the fence and committed to a healthier life-style.
I have seen a lot of big-battery mods, huge ....-like devices that may last longer, produce more vapor, run hotter, juice-on-the-go - for me, these simply didn't contribute to the analog experience. I wanted a light weight "stick" that has all of the qualities of an analog: weight, length, life, automatic, ease-of-use; much easier to "fool the brain". The Bloog was the first product I purchased that met these requirements.
Based on existing KR808D-1 technology, the MaxX Fusion system available from BloogPlanet was redesigned from the ground up and offers the following substantial differences from older KR808D-1 technology:
#1: Since the Bloog is a next generation KR808D-1 - all of my existing hardware from MyVaporStore, LiteCigUSA and V4L is 100% compatible - all I had to do was buy a batt; even gets charged by my 808 PCC.
#2 (and this was huge): With a standard 808 and premium carts, primer puffs were needed to heat the atty -- and -- the atty would cool down requiring even more primer puffs. I don't know if it's the battery or the cartos - but NO PRIMER PUFFS needed. Amazing! Just puff and go.
#3 (also major): The duration of the MaxX Fusion battery is tremendous. I would have to keep two standard 808s in rotation. Now, I don't (but, I still do because I have the gear). One charge lasts me all day.
#4 (needs to be verified): Apparently, the new redesigned batt has an improved half-life - ie, it holds a charge longer, and lasts longer. Leaford who manages QA(?) at the factory indicates that after 2 1/2 months of solid vaping, the batt seems new.
#5: The new KR808 cartos were totally redesigned. The heating coil inside is now cased and protected - which means it won't burn the fill. Because the coil is shielded, you can e-juice very easily thru the new easy drip mouthpiece without flooding! I also noticed that the new cartos either hold so much more juice OR uses the juice much more efficiently because they last so much longer on a single fill.
#6: Another thing of note regarding the cartos is that although they run at 3 to 3.2 ohms, they heat like a low-resistance atty (2ohm) resulting in hotter smoke-like, thicker vapor. This means two things to me (a layman): the cartos last longer because of the higher resistance AND you get hotter vapor like a low-resistance carto -- simply put: the best of both worlds.
Closing: This is simply the closest to analog ecig I have used and is definitely worth checking out.
