My Review on Blu

[ladysolitary85]

So I've only had Blu for 2 days, but I kinda wanted to get this out there.

Even though I've heard the horror stories of their shipping issues, I decided to be brave and try it out. It took a week for Blu to get here which wasn't too bad, though I would of loved it sooner. I did end up with a white pack when I was supposed to get a black pack along with a spare pack, but I'll get into that later.

Size/Appearance: Way smaller than my SE. I love how the carts don't look so much like cheap plastic and how each cart has the initials of what flavor it is that way your not guessing it. I really love how light it feels almost as light as a analog but in my opinion about the size of a camel wide light but smaller in diameter. The PPC pack is a bonus I love carrying my e-cig in something that keeps multiple things in one place. I can also charge two e-cigs at the same time (pcc pack and usb charger). My only complaint is its very sound/wind sensitive. My Rating: 8

Taste: So far I've only tried Vanilla, Java, Cherry and Tobacco... so far I think the Cherry and Tobacco is good. The liquid tasted a bit weak at first to me but after I started playing with it I ended up getting better hits. I wish they had more of a selection with flavors though (higher mg, stronger flavor). The carts don't seem to last very long, which means I'll prolly be looking into getting liquids from another source. My Rating: 5

Vapor Production: So far I think the vapor is pretty good. The throat hits are a hit and miss though its not always going to effect you. It's a lot easier for me to draw then drawing from my SE. My Rating: 7

Customer Service: The live chat person is usually good at answering my questions but I've had a few that took 15 mins to respond. Sometimes I feel like I'm talking to an autobot. However, the lady over the phone was very nice when I explained to her my order was wrong and said an exchange is on the way and I can use the ones I have in the meantime. Live Chat Rating:4
Phone Rep Rating: 8

Over all, I'm happy with this product and I know theres a few things I 'd have to work on with it but I don't think it's an entire lost.

Vape on!

If you like the L88b, may I suggest you try Volcano e-cigs. There customer service has been first rate for me.

I have purchased carts from Blu, and I kind of like their flavor (tobacco - not like tobacco at all, but nutty and slightly sweet - almost a hint of hazelnut). But the carts don't last long. My L88b was from EkoCigs, though. I didn't want a blue LED.

I can't say you should buy from Eko. I hate to disparage them, because they do have decent service (quick replies to emails, and I got a free pack of carts because my shipment was delayed.) But that last part is what give me pause. They seem to have a LOT of customs problems. I tried to get a replacement battery from them when mine stopped working right, and three plus weeks later, they STILL don't have stock, because of customs issues.

So I bought a pair of batteries from Volcano. Glad I did. Got them in no time. One was defective. They took it back and gave me enough store credit to replace it, get a pack of carts, and pick up an extra atomizer. And the LED on the batteries is red, which I like.

I'd say go with Volcano if you don't want a blue LED.

I have had Blu for a week 1/2 ... had 50 carts 8mg ... went through them all. Placed an order last tuesday and still hasn't arrived. Overall would have expected more ... ordered the Vapor King yesterday on express delivery ... just received ... let me say this ... it blows blu away.

I'm debating on just returning my blu and getting something better with better customer service. In another thread I had mentioned I've been told the wrong info.

The e-cig itself I don't have much of an issue with (the carts I don't seem to care about now after the first few puffs). Customer service sucks though.

Blu is my back up. Vapor King is my go-to.

Blu isn;t half bad -- love the look, the size, the charging case. I've been lucky to have no faulty stuff or customer service problems. My only complaint is that the carts have a very weak, off flavor to me and don't last very long.

[ladysolitary85]

I'm actually a little peeved at Blu right now but that's a subject on a different thread I did. I'm actually going to return my Blu pretty soon. Not happy with them at all now (the e-cig itself is ok but their customer service and giving me false info turned me off) so keeping that short, I'm done with them.

You could try the Volcano brand. Same as Blu but with waaaaay better customer service. They ship quick and their website will show if what you want is in stock, unlike Blu. Only difference is the red led instead of blue. They have yet to let me down and I've been buying from them for myself and friends for about 4 months now.
