Just ordered Blu -- oops

[lowdown70]

So I'm new to ECF (sup guys) and vaping and it looks like ordering from Blu may not have been the best choice.

I ordered the blu kit yesterday and looks like im not the first noob to be suckered so i dont feel so bad but i just want to start vaping and throw out the ash tray. This backorder crap happens to the one supplier that i just so happen to choose

Ill just hold on and give it the ten days and then begin with the emails/calls

Blu is a pretty decent product for the price and what comes with it I think. It's an excellent introduction to vaping if nothing else. It is probably the closest to re-creating the feel of a real cigarette that I have experienced being the identical size to a king size smoke.

If you want inexpensive, easy to find parts and don't mind a lot of fiddling - you might look into a 901. They are long considered the best for a n00b to vaping though I honestly hate mine and had it been my first one, I'd have gone back to analogs.

If you don't mind the idea of a manual battery (it has a little button on the side) I would suggest a 510. It still requires some fiddling, but it's incredibly consistent and the vapor from it feels the closest to analog smoke IMO.

There are some amazing mods out there as well - (I have my eye on a Janty Stick because I personally like its aesthetics) if you don't care about look and feel and want a battery with a longer life and more consistency than the cigarette styles and shapes can provide.

This!
I was very concerned about the thickness of the smoke but it sounds like I should check out the 510.........so is this where google and I cross paths again or does anybody have a vendor they'd like to reccomend?

There is a whole list of suppliers on here. I got my 901 from e-smokeytreats.com ..that guy is great more than happy with him! they have 510s too. (I'm pretty sure) but it's the only person I've ever dealt with, so maybe other people have good suggestions too. I know the dealers from China are a lot cheaper.. not sure of the website though, ryuan something I believe.. hope that helps

There are some pics comparing the blu and a 901 and 510 here so you can see the size differences. The 510 is a bit thicker than an analog and with the manual swtich - you're not likely to let it hang out of yer mouth

I can PM you the name of a supplier I have had tremendous service from, if you wish.

Oh please do! I'm going to be doing a lot more shopping and research before I make another purchase....

I realized I'm gonna want to go with something with refillable carts too. This will help with the ritual of rolling and lighting up because I smoke roll-your-owns

blu cigs are refillable btw

I have a heap of reviews there (including an Evo review, an 801 review and a 510 review) 901 review incoming and I have like...30 or so juice reviews up, too.

If you want to see how the units perform, have a look.
