[Question About Bloog Cartomizers?]

Well Corrodie I looked for the information regarding the cartomizers and there doesn't appear to be any.

I am using the Joye eGo e-cig and a lot of the other folks here use them too. I hate to be the one to tell you, but I think and e-cigs that you and your mother purchased are similar to the non-descriptive e-cigs that have a battery that will only last you a couple of hours between charges. On the web site they say that one cartridge will last the same as 1 pack of cigarettes. NOT! I can't find where they say how long a cartomizer will last. Strange, they sell empty cartomizers, but they don't sell the e-liquid!!!

Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but our cartos DO last as long as a pack of cigs. Regular King sized cigs typically last between 10-15 puffs each, or 200-300 puffs per pack. Our MaxxFusion cartomizers last 250-300 puffs each. Our manufacturer uses an automated puffing machine to test 5 cartos per hour of production to ensure that each and every batch meets that standard.

[Question About Bloog Cartomizers?]

Hello, I'm new to vaping, just received my and my mothers Bloog MaxxFusion [And a trifecta] today.

I'm already in love. Although I think I need to up the nicotine on mine though, as the flavors are a bit bland. But already I find lighting a cigarette displeasing.

Probably because of the flavor left from the vapor, but, if it stays like this? Perfect.

Both me and my mother would like to try e-juices though, and since I need another charger, it'd be nice to order everything in the same day, but Bloog is out of empty cartomizers for the MaxxFusion--And they don't know when they will be getting more.

I was wondering, do the Fusion empty carts work with Maxxfusion batteries?

Or, does anyone know if there are other carts that'll work?

If other carts do work, is there a brand with a bit of grip? I ordered the extended batteries rather than the minis, and the weight from the battery vs. the smooth cart makes it a bit difficult to hold like a normal cigarette. Which, I guess isn't a problem. I'm getting used to holding them a bit different, but the more authentic feel, the better. This is why I went with Bloog, after all.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Corrodie!

Yes, any other KR808D-1 cartomizers will work on your MaxxFusion batts, including our old FUsion cartos, but none of them will give you comparable performance to a MaxxFusion carto.

[Finally! A Real Clinical Trial On E-Cigs!]

FINALLY! A REAL Clinical Trial on e-cigs!

Auckland University's Clinical Trials Research Unit has announced a six-month clinical trial of the safety and effectiveness of electronic cigarettes for smoking cessation! Currently in set-up phase, the trial has the cute name of END-IT.

END-IT: ELECTRONIC NICOTINE DEVICE INTERVENTION TRIAL

Funded by Health Research Council of New Zealand, the study will be a single-blind randomized control trial. Participants will be recruited from Auckland, NZ, and will receive a standard 8-week course of either a 16mg e-cig, a placebo 0mg e-cig, or nicotine patches, as well as behavioral support. They will be evaluated for continued tobacco abstinence after 6 months, as well as secondary outcomes, and for adverse events.

This study received funding in June 2010 and is currently in set-up phase, with study documents being prepared and ethics and regulatory approval being sought.

I have a few concerns over the study design. For one thing, it is designed to evaluate tobacco abstinence after an 8-week course of e-cigs, so will they count continued e-cig use after the 8 weeks as success or failure? Six months isn't really long enough, for another. And they gave no information on the size of the study.

But, it is a start. A start to the real solid research that we need. Blinded, randomized, placebo controlled, peer-reviewed and published, this will be a GREAT validation for our side when it is complete.
