First off this isn't a flame but more of a rant on this one particular product. I love the Bloog batts, carto's, juice flavors and think the company is doing a great job overall. However after 3 months with this thing, i can honestly say the Mini PCC is perhaps the worst pcc I have ever owned.
Bit of history is that i have been vaping for almost 2 yrs. Being a gadget kind of guy i have owned many different vaping devices along with PCC's. The 901, 510, Ego, Screwdriver, Bloog Mini and god willing when they are back in stock the Darwin. I only list this so no one thinks i am flaming Bloog just as an example of my experience with different devices thus far. Anyway, on to the nitty gritty.
The Mini PCC looks great and has some very cool features. That being said from day 1 of receiving the device i knew at some point it would turn into my nightmare. This is mainly because despite how cool it looks, it is very cheaply made. I have owned allot of different PCC's and this is the only one in which i knew if i were to ever drop it then it would be game over (for the record never have).
My first (and very minor) complaint would be the rubber backing. I like it, am glad it's there but also am tired of it peeling off in my pocket. Little black rubber pieces all over the place each day lol. However oddly enough this doesn't really bother me. In all honesty when it comes to a product i purchase i don't care what it looks like at all. I just want it to work. And there lies the problem.
For the first month the Mini PCC worked like a champ. No issues, charged everything fine ect. However it wasn't long before my fears of the device started to come true. Now getting a battery to charge within the device is a 5 minute long effort of getting the device to read that a battery is in there. I know all the tricks, the prongs getting stuck down, taking the battery out of the device, gently cleaning the prongs/batt and have even come up with some of my own. Example being at times it helps to cram a piece of wadded paper at the light up end of the battery so that adequate force is applied to the prongs so that it doesn't lose the connection. Yes that's right, at random times when your lucky enough to get it to charge it will randomly stop and you must repeat the process all over again.
I like Bloog. I think the company is heading on the right track and offers a great product. However after owning various PCC's and some that are built like a mack truck (metal 510 is a great example) I can't help but to feel like Bloog is cutting corners with this device. As stated above i know it looks cool but being made out of such shoddy material I can't help but to ask myself "Why?". Bloog offers a better mini ecig than the rest and prides themselves on the superior carto's and batts they offer. The price tag is abit higher than others but i have always believed you get what you pay for. This holds true for Bloog in everything that i have tried except for their Mini PCC. It's just that bad.
Side Note: I am sure if i called and raised holy hell i might be able to get another. Or i could just order one but that's not the point of this post. Especially since I wouldn't want another if they continue to be this inferior made. The point is Bloog listens from what I can tell so hopefully they will have a better version in the future. ~Thx
