| As promised here is a look at the inside of the GreenCig cart. It has some highly advanced engineering compared to the 3 piece models where they put some liquid nicotine in a cup put a rag in the cup to soak it up and apply heat and suck. I think a caveman could have come up with a better plan than that.
Lucky for us some wise engineers saw the crap designs of the three piece units and said wait a minute I bet I can do better than that and they did! The "hair" blows me away and it's been reported time and time again that you just can't burn the GreenCig carts like you can the others if you vape them dry without concern for filling. Check these pics out:     
All credit for the pic must go to a person named Cisco since it was his work that I am cribbing for you to see here.
I wish I had some nice HD pics of the KR808D-1 carts to compare them with but I don't. I can explain the way it looks when you refill them though. Once you pop off the plastic cart end you look inside and can see a O-ring/Gasket that comes right out. Under that you have what looks like a roll of toilet paper on it's side so that the hole in the roll is facing up with the atomzier poking through it. Simple but effective, and tons better than the 3pc designs. To refill you remove that top and the gasket, tilt and drip the liquid while slowly turning the cart with it still tilted like pouring a beer. Sorry that the pic format is so long, I tried to make it set them side by side but it would not format it that way. Hope this gives some insight into why the Greencig carts are considered to be the best among those that use them and have tried the others. These thing won't give a burnt taste either when vaped dry which is a real plus since we all know what that taste like and it's not pleasant.

| That has to be the most disgusting thing I have ever seen!  Now I am going to have to take my carts apart and look more closely at them and how they are constructed. Thanks for the pics and the heads up. | |

| Well to be fair I don't believe it's actually hair that is being used. I think it is some man made material that just happens to resemble human hair. I had the exact opposite reaction I thought wow how cool this is compared to the other carts I had seen which were basically modified molotov cocktails taken to another level. | |

| Cisco said in his autopsy that the material, what ever it is, burned just like human hair when he lit it up, but did not have an odor an left little ash.
Not sure how to interpret his results, since he did not draw any conclusions. The wicking properties seemed to be his main concern...which I believe he said were good since he thought you could easily vape the entire contents of this cartomizer.
The conclusions are left up to you. Greencig seems to have the best cartomizers, but just like the KR808's you need to keep them moist...where did I hear that before???

| No, I got that they can't be burnt up by vaping them dry. I have read it many times and from Cisco himself that they are just about indestructible. I got mine today so I don't have any to tear apart but I can tell you that they are METAL not plastic. That explains a lot of the cost. These things are tough man!
The word on these is that you DON'T have to keep them wet, like I said you just can't burn them by vaping the cart dry. The only way you can get them to burn is with a lighter! The fiberglass hair does an awesome job of wicking up ALL the liquid as well. It's unreal how much of a workhorse this thing is.
With what I have experienced so far with my GreenCig kit I am kind of mad at myself for not buying these first as I knew I should have when I saw them the first time and I was trying to decide what to get. I wanted to try it on the cheap though so I didn't listen to that little voice in my head and 3 kits and a mod later here I am with the best of the bunch which I almost bought over a month ago dammit! | |

| What kind of temperatures do you think the heater coil gets to in the Blu? Without juice won't all models glow red? My e-cigars would for sure. You could almost take the cart out and use it as a night light

And I thought everyone knew where the "hair" came from.
Takes a really brave soul to get it though.

| Fluvals are closely related to naugas. You know, the critters they get naugahyde from. They are raised on ranches in Alaska I think. | |

| The Fluvals used are free range fluvals. I also just read a comment I made earlier it seemed to give the impression that I advocate letting the atomizer get dry and that is not what I mean but that it is possible to vape it dry without it scorching. I always keep them as wet as possible at the first hint of vapor and taste drop off I refill them. | |

back on track:
I'm sure Blu has an alternative source already in the works.

| Fluvals are indigenous to the Himalayans. The are a proud species, hunted by Chinese ecig manufactures with the blood lust of American consumer dollars. Every now and then you can catch a glimpse of them, but it is very rare these days ...
Save the Fluvals! | |

Save the Fluvals! | If we don't, they may go the way of the baby crimple who I believe became extinct due to manufacture of way too many lime green, canary yellow and hot pink women's pantsuits in the 60's and 70's. | |

| Fluvals used to range the country along with Indian tribes in the 18th and 19th centuries before they were wiped out in America along with the poor natives in the pursuit of the mighty dollar. The last indigenous Fluval in America died in captivity at the Philadelphia Zoo in 1903, since then there have been a couple of unsuccessful reintroductions to the Southwest. It seems the market for Fluval fur is higher than ever with the advent of the electronic cigarette. It would not surprise me in the least to find that a Pro-Fluval group is responsible for all the negative backlash concerning E-Cigs. | |
