The Ultimate Analog Experience - BloogPlanet!

[MichelleDen]

Congrats to you, glad to hear you and the wife are now off analogs. This is always a great first step and remember it is a step. As time goes on and you get your taste back you may find yourself looking for a better juice supplier or you may start to get that urge for a mod. Trust me, I can say that most of us started off with that model that was as close to a cig as we could be happy with. But after time most find themselves getting into the world of mods and find ourselves leaving that first model we started with and was very happy with, alone in a draw some where.

Again congrats and now the journey can begin.

Oh really? Not all of us..
If the maxx is as good as all that have tried it, say, then all the MODS are gonna be looked at, like the gigantic mobilephones from the 80's... I allready see them that way..
They've got more mAh in the maxx without adding length.. And its only the beginning.
The reg batt is 320 mAh now.. I believe its gonna get even better. The pcc has undergone transformation too, and hey, why not have a pcc with you? Need a way to store when on the go anyway. How am I gonna take a silly MOD with me on my horse?

Seriously, I've tried big mods.. The hit is nothing like an analog. Its waay more extreme, and they produce vapor like 3 or more cigs puffed at once... To me thats ridiculous. Not to tread on anyones toes, but every one I've tried, regardless of the juice, was awful..
.Think its just because it becomes a hobby and you get bored with what you have..Upgrade into infinity. And end up running around with a pipebomb! Well not me..I still want the easy, no fuss, hassle or mess feeling of having a break with a little ciggie..Pop it in my pocket and go..
I believe OP's not affiliated with anyone as all others that have tried it, so far, are equally extatic about the performance.

This tends to be true until you find the right mix of equipment and juice. Another thing I like to say, it is like Rap music, just because it is made does not mean it is for everyone...

I am more happy with any of my MODS than I was with the traditional ecig. I rather leave the house with just my MOD and a spare battery and 15ml juice and know I am good for at least for 2 days of heavy vaping.

 

[PapaBloog]

How heavy is the maxfusion with the 65mm battery?

kgj -> I just got word in that the shorties weigh in at just over 10g. I don't believe that it'll ever compete in the featherweight division where analogs weigh in at but that's just over the weight of a #2 pencil! I also found out that these are 220mAh batts - as opposed to older shorty 808 tech running at 180mAh -- just under 20% mAh better than older tech.

Unless they can figure out a way to pack 6ml's of juice into an analog sized unit MODS will always be better then cig style crap.

Just get a REO GRAND

Exactly.. thats why I get a little frustrated when people state that you will probably want a mod or small devices are crap.. and blablabla like thats just how it is...

Yearh shure, thats why you went and looked at a review for a cig style...

Thank you dj and Merry Christmas.

 

[MikeDeason]

Nope, looked at it cause it's amusing to see people who actually think a small bat w/carto that holds minimal juice is better than a bottom feeder that holds 6ml of juice and a bat that lastes a couple days.

I guess if it works for you thats all that matters.

 

[MichelleDen]

Sounds like you think people with small PV's are newbs that havent tried a mod yet...
Well now you know that there are people that would rather fill a cart and change a batt a couple of times a day, than having to drag a MOD around. I couldn't care less about a 6ml carto. What I do care about it that people are saying their maxx cartos run longer on the same amount of juice as old 808's. So glad Leaford is working on making a cig device better, instead of just making everything bigger. The latter is not very innovative, IMO.
I acually have a friend here, that says the same as you, but just for fun, tried my kr8. He was very impressed with the hit and taste he got, and said hmm maybe I should get one of these...eh like just for going out.. haha.
But hey, exactly, if it works for you.... happy holidays...

The key words there are "maybe" and "hit" if it could give the same constant hit for lets just say 4ml of juice before the battery had to be changed, I would be interested as well. But that ain't gonna happen.

 

[MichelleDen]

Hey Jimi, You are missing the point. Sounds like you think I'm trying to convince you to get kr8.. I'm not. I'm only trying to get people to stop telling others, that the only upgrade is going bigger.

You guys havent even tried the new kr8. How you gonna compare it to a MOD? Small PV's have come along way since the little 901 penstyle, atty toy... But you don't like'em.. Ok who cares? This is a review thread for people interested in hearing about the newest, upgraded small device.. Whats the modsquad even doing here? I don't go to reviews on the new whatever MOD thingy and write why I chose something else.. Because that mutters up the threads, making every thread messy and LESS informative for newbs trying to find out whats right for them...Youre not helping anybody by telling them what they'll probably want. Its great people want to give advise, but that must include knowing whats most important for that particular person..
OP: sorry for making your review into a big vs small discussion. Wasn't my intention. Just got carried away..

Personally, I have witnessed first-hand family and friends, and their families and friends, and so on either start or complete the transition from analogs to e-cigs, or quit analogs altogether. All of this has happened since I introduced these folks to KR808D-1 tech and all this over the last 2 1/2 months. Based on my introduction, I estimate currently that between 45-48 smokers that are now either ex- or soon to be ex analog smokers thanks to the KR808. This is a staggering rate of success unheard of with other "so-called" remedies - patches, nic-gum, therapy, hypnosis, chantix, snus each of which have a proven track record of failure. The KR808 tech is an incredible device that will ultimately improve (and already has) in areas of performance and quality. You simply cannot argue with success.

No quarrels here, however. Isn't the purpose of e-cig tech to provide smokers a means to address their addiction by providing a safer alternative to smoking? I posted this review to help others find a low cost, high-quality solution that I know works and that I know will work for nearly anyone attempting to modify their behavior and habits. Whether or not a big box mod works for some provided they can fit this into their lifestyle, or if a 510, 801, 901, ego or any other of the hundreds of devices work to achieve this objective is not the point of this discussion.

The fact is: that KR808D-1 technology has a proven track record of performance, reliability, and use AND carries with it one of the highest success rates in transitioning smokers away from analogs.

The KR808 tech has such a low entry cost and could save those looking for e-cig alternatives a real chance at kicking the tobacco habit. At a bare minimum, it would certainly help those considering an e-cig alternative to steer clear of vendors peddling sub-standard product with high cost entry points such as Vapcig and Neverlightagain (NLA) - products that I personally lost money on.

The fact that Bloog has recently made substantial improvements in quality, performance and reliablity of this already proven tech in their MaxX Fusion line is more reason than ever to try this product as a starting point. For those who sincerely want to improve their health by modifying their behavior, this outstanding product should at a bare minimum, be considered.

I would like nothing more than to see everyone quit tobacco use, as I and my wife were able to, with this technology. For anyone considering this as an alternative, feel free to PM me if you purchase this product and find that it doesn't meet your needs and I'll do what I can to aid you in your transition.

I will give you the benefit of the doubt, djorgens2.
I was once accused of working for ecig.com, and was also thought to be chinese, because I had written an enthusiastic review of the first cartomizer ecig, the E9. This was over two and a half years ago, on this very forum. It got nasty and verbally violent. I did not enjoy it. Now years later, it is obvious that I was simply enthralled with the world's first cartomizer, as you are enthralled with YOUR first cartomizer. So guys, take it easy and see the many meritable points that djorgens2 has raised. Vape on!

I'm right there with you brother...
I have an E9 myself.
I was wondering if the Bloog is the same as the improved E9?
The small size is the selling point for a lot of people.
Why would anyone who is used to carrying around a pack of smokes want to jump into vaping if all there was available was a huge mod or weird looking big bat?
Personnally, I'm in the market for something bigger.
Why, you ask? For the same reasons people move to mods & eGos & Rivas...etc...
If I could get the same type of performance from something the same size as an E9, I would buy it...
I think the new ceramic cartos for the 510 are a huge improvement for the model.
Props to Leaford and Bloog for continuing the innovation for the analog sized models.

 

[Jimi Mack]

Any review should be a big and small discussion, this is what can make it interesting. While I am sure the battery like of the KR8 has improved it can not compare to the battery life of a quality MOD. For me being out in the field for 12-14 hrs a day a mod makes sense, for others it may not.

While the KR8 has made improvements, the same can be said about the eGo in the 510 line. I had purchased an ego and tried it for a while. It lasted about 4 hours of my vaping style before it was dead. Now if I carried 4 egos with me, it may make it through a day... they still did not have the hit you can get from good juice and good equipment. Which still comes down to "each his own". If yours works for you, fine and if mine works for me, just as well. This is why there are many different colors to the rainbow and why this industry has released so many different models, which by the way I more than owned at some point. LOL!

ok I'll just run over to the Indulgence review and tell them what I think of it and tell them they are gonna get tired of hauling a big device around at some point and go back to somfin smaller. Cus thats what I think so naturally I should go tell everybody thats just how it is.. haha see if I get a warm welcome?
I went and looked at the Reo grand too.. ha what a laugh...

Offcourse the battlife doesn't compare m8, Us littlePV people are not saying it does.. We are saying we don't care. I for one am sticking to the kr8, enjoing all the new innovative updates. Rather use pcc's until tech improves enough for it not to be necessary, than spend more money on pipebombs, mini mufflers and boxes..
Out of curiosity. Where do you store your PV when on the go?

edit: oh I agree, the 510 ego does not have a quality performance.. Its bland and boring compared to a kr8..

LOL... Don't go to the Indulgence board, that is not really that big of a unit. Go to the Silver Bullet or Chuck reviews. Now there is something that you can beat somebody with. They ought to give a warm welcome to that...

Remember there are units that are really no bigger than a cigar that can give someone that happy middle ground. Such as the Provape-1, VYPR, Icon and the BB, just to mention a few. That is the great thing, all shapes and sizes to fit each individual need.

My PV is 99.99% of the time right in my coat pocket. When out in the field working making sales calls I normally bring a PV with a 14500 battery with a few extra bats, I have brought my SB with me at times. If I plan to sit at home or at the bar for a night, I may take an Indulgence with the extension cup or something like my SB.

 

[MichelleDen]

haha maybe the Darwin thread then??
I don't even have the xl kr8 batts. Have a couple of egos and a riva though, cus somone told me that was the only way to go when I got started. They live in a drawer.... Cigarsize is too big

My skepticism for this thread netted me a MaxxFusion to evaluate. It showed up today. Thanks leaford! I will not have time to do a serious evaluation until early next week, but I wanted to say that this product surprised me. Quite a bit actually. I am not giving up my 510 mods for one of these, but this device delivers a much nicer experience than I would have expected.

I have never used a KR8 device before, so I have no frame of reference as my entire vaping life has revolved around 510 hardware. This nice thing about this Bloog unit is the weight allows you to hold it in the fashion of a cigarette, and the KR8 cartomizer works much better than I would have thought. Also, I see how nice it is to have an automatic battery that actually works. Mrs. Doctor Vapenstein wants this thing, bad. I tease her that I may let her use it once in a while, but if I don't have to send this back I just may keep this for myself and order one for her as well. I can see how useful it would be keeping a couple of these around for driving (I currently drip and drive, yeah I know) or social situations where a drug paraphenalia-looking PV isn't ideal. The Reds cartos have the classic DK Tab flavor, and it actually made me go get the bottle of BlueMist Vaping DK Tab I have out of The Juice Cellar, and I am vaping it as I type.

So the MaxxFusion isn't going to replace my mods, and I'm still a 510 guy. I do like it however, and I really like a guy like leaford, who puts his money where his mouth is and puts his integrity behind the product. He convinced me by letting me see for myself. The MaxxFusion is a nice little device, and in all honesty it makes a far better gateway PV than any of the 510 stuff. This is the unit I wish I would have started Mrs. Doctor Vapenstein out on. I admit when I'm wrong, and it appears that my skepticism regarding this product was completely unfounded.

It would be nice to see someone NOT recommend an ego/riva/mod for a change.
The 510 platform is great, but not to the exclusion of everything else...
When a new vaper wants an analog sized device, this is the one to direct people to look at first.
The regular 510 really sucks by comparison...
So what if you can use the attys on your next e-cig.
The Bloog is a nice looking/functioning unit.
I trust your review won't simply be a comparison of it (MaxxFusion) to the 510, as it does stand on its own merit.
I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts.

Sir Vapenstein - my Mrs. still has my Bloog ;-( Still waiting for mine to show up in the mail...!
