What funny tasting cartos look like!

[Godzilla]

Personally, I agree with star, those O-rings in the middle on the left dont look like bloog stuff...*sniff sniff* do I smell halibut?

2nd, every one of your posts are negative except for v4l stuff...I'm not saying this guy possibly could be right..but I take this post with a grain of sand..and fishing them out of the trash? what kind of control is that for refilling and saying they are "salvagable"? plus you are smoking these things USING OTHER SUPPLIERS EQUIPMENT! If I put diesel in my car...im sure it would be very unhappy with me...

as for the fda comment..thats dumb...cigarettes kill hundreds of thousands of people a year, right out of the pack AND NOT FISHED OUT OF THE TRASH!

people these days

Come on, you never fished a .... out of the trash that had some meat left on it?

took an Boge apart and only rubbery thing was the o ring.

This is mildly disconcerting. Some confirmation from Leaford would be nice. Are there different carto designs, since some are agreeing with OP and others disagreeing that we are looking at the internals of a BMF carto? I'm going to have to do a bit of surgery...


Although I have had "burnt taste" in cartos with heavy-VG, thick liquids, I've never tasted anything remotely similar to burning plastic.

I have pulled apart several used cartos and now just one new unused one, and the MF cartos look nothing like the ops pictures. Sorry, but I think there is something rotten going on here.

what he is showing is the battery end of the carto, the silicone/plastic sleeve where the attomizer sits at the bottom. You can make it out a 3:45 on fieldofvapor's video review though it is still in the cartomizer outer tube in that video.

edit: you can also see it at the manufacturers cut away diagram however linking that would be against forum rules.

After careful consideration, it could be the drip tip of the carto could melt as it touches the batting and distort it. I do not have the same issues. I am not using the soft plastic drip tip that comes with it as I use another one that I prefer. The tip I use does not get hot at all.

The coil looks almost like the brand new one I pulled apart. It is my opinion that it is not in anyway burned nor is the plastic tube because it also looks like the brand new one I pulled apart.

If some one would help me to post a picture I have made a pix of the unused one I pulled apart this afternoon.

Alright lets clear a few things up because it seems there's confusion surrounding certain things. First of those are for sure BMF cartomizer parts without a doubt. Second of all that clear part in the second picture is the Silicone O-ring that fits around a metal pin which sticks in the battery end of the cartomizers. The white part that looks all melted is the bottom part of the inner casing which is what protects the polyfill from burning. This is what makes the BMF cartomizer unique and is supposed to prevent any such burning taste.

If you take the wick (the part that has the coil wrapped around it) and stick it under a burning flame it will not melt or burn or disintegrate or any other form of combustion. It will however glow red hot if you hold it under there long enough. I know Iv done it. Secondly if you take the inner casing and stick that under the flame that white part (im not calling it plastic or anything till Leaford can actually confirm it is) will burn away but the casing itself will only char at the end. It doesn't burn up. Again that's the whole point here because its job is to protect the polyfill. Thirdly the filling is just polyfill there is nothing fire ......ant about it It will burn. Lastly under normal operating conditions on a BMF battery temperatures should never reach anywhere near that of a flame to cause such severe damage.

Id say the culprit for this one is the Battery, but the experiences of others regarding burning taste are so varying its hard to tell. I checked in with my folks again and neither have reported any burning taste, and both are refilling there original, and one set of the latest blanks. 30 drops of liquid into the carto while rotating it and that's it. None of that fancy spinning and twirling and what ever else has been through off. Also no drops down the center either.

Anyways will be curious to hear Leaford chim in.

I do not buy the battery causing the problem as my daughter uses the bloog cartos on a V4l battery. But she does not use the drip tip that comes with the bloog carto. The thing that is actually melting is the drip tip that comes with the carto.

The drip tips do not melt. the white substance that you see at the bottom of the wick is not melted plastic but whatever adhesive used to fasten the wick to the cart. I took apart 1 unused BMF cart and 1 used and they both have that white substance on the wick. I am sure Leaford will confirm this.

If your referring to the first picture in the second row that is most definitely not the cartomizer tip. That is the silicone o-ring that wraps around the metal pin at the battery end of the cartomizer, that white stuff around it is the white ring in the other pictures from the inner casing which protects the polyfill. If that was the cartomizer tip I'd be pretty worried because tiered have to be a small fire in there to cause that,

Bloog battery's regulate the voltage down to 3.8 volts if I remember right, which is why I said I think but not conclude that its the battery at fault here. Regardless its pretty clear there was some high temperatures in there clearly visible by the damage in the pictures.

The picture in the op has a clear ring that i guess is suppose to be the clear drip tip that comes with the bloog cartos. They look nothing like the ones that come with my bloog cartos.

that ring is on the battery end of the Carto it holds the little "plug" in the carto.

Not one of my pulled apart cartomizers have one of those suppposed silicone rings. I have pulled several apart. And again not one has one, not even the unused one.

Again those are not the drip tips. Your confusing that part with another part that is clear on the Bloog Cartomizers. The part in the picture is on the flip side of the carto. Take a BMF carto and look at it from the battery end and you will see a clear silicone o-ring. That o-ring goes into the cartomizer a little.

My cartos do NOT have it.

 

[Rift]

Then you dont have the Maxx Fusion cartomizers.

Here one sec im going to upload a picture.

 

[nycsublimegirl]

Hi all I am waiting for leaford to officially comment.... I have my own theories but he is the authority on these issues.

 

[DeeLeeKay]

Now I have all cartos from the second batch.

 

[DeeLeeKay]

I do have bloog cartos!

 

[Rift]

Here ya go

If your cartomizer doesn't look like that on the other end then were not talking about the same thing. The o-ring in my picture is the o-ring in the OP's first image of the second row of images.

 

[DeeLeeKay]

That is not what is pictured in the op as the clear ring that is melted.
