Blu is out of stock M402 available for immediate shipping for only $49 @ www.nic-assist.com

I'm sorry to tell you, but I was in the exact same situation.

I was a smoker of about 10-12 cigs a day, waiting on my blu kit to arrive.
The order was placed on june 2nd, it was shipped on june 19th, and received on the 26th.
First disapointment within the first few days: the cartridges don't last for long at all! They say 5 cartridges equals 75 cigs? Big fat lie.
I work in a office, therefore I couldn't possibly have vaped all day. It was only on breaks, after meals, in the car and in the evening, like usual. I went through 5 cartridges in a day easily. that's going from 10-12 cigs to 75?

Second disapointment, the batteries don't last long AT ALL. An hour, top.

Third disapointment, after 8 days, my first battery died. The day after, the other battery dies.

I'm and back with analogs. The vaping experience lasted 9 days, after almost a month of wait.

At first, I was so hyped with the product I wanted to become a reseller. The situation has changed now, can you guess...

So, monday I tried contacting the customer service about my dead batteries and placed an order for a carton of cartridges. I thought they would ship the carton and replacement batteries at the same time, and I won't have to wait the 3 weeks backorder since I figured only the starter kits would be out of stock.
Wrong.
Two days later, still no news about my complaint or my order.
I contact them with the live chat, and they tell me it's going to take the 3 weeks to receive my carton of cartriges!!! And that I had to ship them my dead batteries BEFORE they would send me replacement.
Needless to say, I canceled my order, and I don't want to have anything to do with them anymore.
It's sad since I read somewhere on this forum that they had good customer service, and shipped dead batteries without waiting for replacement.

Anyone else have an alternative?
Thanks.

Check out the BLU webpage!! They are not taking any new orders!!! What a joke of a company!!!!!!!!!!

Wow such anger in this thread

[halopunker]

Oh man, that's what happens when a company comes out and isn't ready to support the demand...lol, poor guys.

I had a feeling Blu was a joke, too bad cause liked the nifty pack design. Just received EVO ( no throat hit on their carts, have to drip 555 ) how does the M402 compare to EVO?

The nifty Pack design was something that caught my eye too. Depending on the model of Vaporizer you have / are getting. You might still be able to use their pack design. It takes forever to get anything shipped from BLU at times, but they do sell just the packs separately.

You can also find a good variety of packs and case on the net.

I personally will be looking into making my own mods / Designs up sometime soon.

The Blu pack will only work for something 88mm length x 8.5mm diameter. No guarantees on it charging anything though. You can get the exact same thing as Blu, with way cooler designed packs if you just look for them. Google L88B, that's what Blu's e-pack is. I ordered from another company. My pack is just blank so that I can customize it however I feel fit.

For anyone who was looking for a Blu I would suggest looking into a 306, which should be compattible with most 510 PCC packs. The 306 is just a bit bigger then the Blu design.

Blu sucks. take it from me. I placed an order an it took them over a month to get me my product. when i actually did get it the batts led-s would pulse when i took a drag and one of the atoms didn't even work. they look like they have a great deal but their products are ****. bad vapor bad batteries and terrible customer service. i called to bitch them out so many times and all they would tell me is "I'm sorry sir but our shipping dept. doesn't tell us anything we don't know when we can ship out your product that u already paid for. I've made it my life's work to make sure no one buys from that stupid company ever again. MEH>>>>>>

BLU SUCKS MONKEY BALLS> I had the exact same thing happen to me.....order placed June 15 order received July 23. Their Customer service is a joke. their company is a joke. Don't go into business if you can't even handle getting people orders. I think their product might have started out good but they started to cut corners when demand rose. Take it from the people burned by this e-cig. forget them and go for an 4081 super mini or any of the m-series.

Blu Is a terrible e-cig. don't buy from them....

I have a slightly different view of the Blu cigarette than what has been posted on this board so far. I ordered two starter kits back in June and didn't expect the delay that I got. They were advertising backlogs of product at two weeks when I ordered. It turned out to be a bit over a month and during that time they stopped taking orders trying to get out the backlog.

I spoke to customer service twice during that time and both times they were very helpful (other than being able to deliver the product). In between, I had bought some JC smoke and a 510 starter kit which took no time at all to arrive.

I personally like the 510 a lot, but I also am quite satisfied with the blu kits also. I haven't looked to their site recently since I bought plenty of juice for awhile when I originally ordered.

Now some of my comments about what I read on this thread---

I'm sorry to tell you, but I was in the exact same situation.

"I was a smoker of about 10-12 cigs a day, waiting on my blu kit to arrive.
The order was placed on june 2nd, it was shipped on june 19th, and received on the 26th.
First disapointment within the first few days: the cartridges don't last for long at all! They say 5 cartridges equals 75 cigs? Big fat lie.

I find the above totally inaccurate, but it may not be intentional. It took me a while to "get it" as far as using the blu E cig as far as drawing on it. I was a 2+ pack a day smoker, now it's a few analogs a day- mostly when I'm riding my bike. I find that a cartridge lasts most of the day for me and I vape when I feel like it. The secret I found was to take longer, slower and less intense draws on the cig that I was used to with cigarettes. You get more throat hit. If anyone that only smoked a half pack a day went through 5 cartridges something was wrong with what they were doing. In fact, my gf just walked it and she's going through a cartridge every two days and smoked at least a pack a day.

"Second disapointment, the batteries don't last long AT ALL. An hour, top."

Another questionable comment. I find the batteries don't last as long as the cartridges. When I start finding that I'm not getting a hit, I'll change out the battery. That will usually get the smoke going again unless your cartridge is truly empty. The charger in the pack works very well in keeping the batteries ready during the day. I've even skipped charging the pack some days and have never run out of battery life.

"Third disapointment, after 8 days, my first battery died. The day after, the other battery dies."

I have two weeks on our batteries and none of the above problems have been encountered. That's four batteries with none of this type of problem.

"I'm and back with analogs. The vaping experience lasted 9 days, after almost a month of wait.

I can't speak to most of what is stated above, but I did have an issue with the one starter pack. I was delivered two atomizers in the one pack instead of two batteries. I used live chat, explained the situation and she past my problem to the QC people who had the battery to me in less than a week. I can understand the problem with the cartridges because they had some serious backlog issues - both from a product availability and shipping department standpoint.

"Needless to say, I canceled my order, and I don't want to have anything to do with them anymore.

I certainly hope you returned your product since they have a 30 day return policy.

It's sad since I read somewhere on this forum that they had good customer service, and shipped dead batteries without waiting for replacement.

Thanks.

As I said, I kind of like the 510 a bit better, but my gf is very satisfied. I smoked the blu all day today and was very happy using it. The cartridges are refillable by pushing an open paper clip into the hole and releasing the cup that holds the juice. There's a vid out on the web showing how to do this. Unfortunately there's no cap on the cartridge to seal it after a refill as you can do with the 510 cartridges.

I don't dip so I can't speak to that abuse of the atomizer. I'll post again down the road to give later perspectives. It just seemed that there was a lot of negative being posted and I wanted to give someone else's views.
