Blu's PCC vs Volcano's Latest V-Pack

[BluntAttack]

I searched high and low for a comparison of the two... side by side and came up empty. So I decided to be a part of the solution. As I say in the video- I was not unhappy with Blu's pack, but I hated not knowing how much charge was left in there. So I sprung for the V-Pack and a few other goodies... If you dont want to sit through my 9 minute diatribe, the V-Pack won. But only just...

If the "embeded" thing doesn't work, check it out on YouTube, and be sure to select 720p from the menu... That way you can see my hairy knuckles in all their HD beauty.

Thank you! I'm not to good with the HTML or embedded stuff...

Thanks for the props too. I hope it helps someone. I wish I could of seen it a week or two ago- I like these little things and want them to work as well, and easily as they can.

Great review. Its always good to see different products side by side so people can make a more informed choice.

Awesome video!!

I have a couple of comments too as I own both now that Volcano offers a spot for an assembled ecig.

On my Volcano pack the lid opens a mm further than what is shown on this video, so the assembled cig being in the back hasn't really affected me. As a matter of fact, as you see the 2 holes for the battery and the full ecig are right next to each other on the blu, I accidently dropped my battery into the wrong hole! I had to break off the foam to get it out, and my reglue job didn't go so well

If you press on the right hand side of the window display it will also show you the charge, this is handy if you're either shaving off your button or having issues turning the flashlight on accidently. As for the flashlight part, I actually do use it to locate things in my purse when it's dark

As can be seen in the video, having to press the button to start a charge can be iffy, and having to manually check is an extra step but OK. I never did have the issue with the USB light not going out when the BLU pack was charged, but I have found it annoying that it requires a special cable and you cannot sit it upright while charging.

SUGGESTION for Volcano. As you can see in the video, BLU has their name on both the front and the back. I noticed someone looking curiously at my "device" when I had my pack set on a table at the pool and realized the back is blank! Goodness me, regular cigarette packs have the logo on ALL sides including the bottom LOL. Please add the logo on the back.

I made another real quick video to show the shaved off button on the V-Pack, learned about the battery a little more, and give a better view of the plugs/caps for the carts. Sorry for the odd angle, but I didnt notice until I was all done...

Great Video!!! We will take these inputs very highly. We have been looking at possibly having 2 recessed buttons for the PCC, but now we might consider just lowering the button a bit. We really like the long double sided bar button and think 2 buttons would look ugly.
I am also surprised on why you case doesn't open up as much. I checked a bunch after your video and all of them opened more then yours did, although there was slight variances. I will ask about this.
As for your battery, as long as you have owned it less then a year and you didn't throw it in the washer, we should be able to replace under our warranty. Were really good about that. You do need to ship it back to us.
Again, thanks for the input!! We will keep you updated, when changes are made. Mahalo!!
