Any thoughts on Blu Cigs?

I just heard about them today, and this was my introduction to the vast variety of e cigarettes on the market.

I definitely want to buy an e cig, but after reading some of the posts on here, I want to make an informed decision.

The guy who told me about Blu, said they were the real McCoy, but I have not seen any mention of them in these forums.

Their website states that they are not taking any new orders until later this month, because of the demand, so that could mean they are really that good, or it's a clever PR stunt to make them look like a more attractive option.

Anyway, I'd like to know what you guys think.

Sadly, I am new here, and I'm not allowed to open a new thread, so I apologize for hijacking this thread.

Dont waste your time with Blu. They are not worth the wait or the $$, I would go with the 510 or the evo from innovapor.com IMHO. Blu has got horrible costumer service and the only good thing I could possibley say bout them is their overaddvertising has introduced me to e-cigs and got me off analogs for good. dont fall for their scam and end up very unhappy. Innovapor will hook you up and you will save $$ and be very happy.

Yeah, I'm new too, and can't start a new thread, either. (Rather annoying, since no one has answered my PM or "Contact us" either.) Frankly, there are so many brands and so many tastes I'm completely lost, too! All I want is something that taste like an ultra light cigarette, without the new taxed cost. (Also searching for a light menthol for hubby.) From the USA is good, only in that it ships quicker, no legal problems, and I assume they'd know what an American cigarette is supposed to taste like.

I've been searching this site for a good three weeks now, and the only things I'm feeling are frustrated and lost. How long must I keep smoking regular cigarettes at ridiculous prices until I find out where to buy an ecigarette that taste like a regular cigarette, and a manfacturer that isn't backlogged, tettering on the brink, or hinkey?

Nothing personal, everyone, I just have to know, NOW!

You should go to the New Members Forum. There are probably hundreds of threads with answers to your questions there. Here are just a few.

Just can't make a final decision, please help

New to vaping. Blucig is broken already. Advice please.

First time purchaser for my Mom..

My best advice for you is to save yourself some money and buy a MOD. Prodigy, GG, whatever. They don't look like an analog but once you start vaping that won't matter to you. You'll want the power and consistency of a MOD.

As far as taste goes, you will not find an ecig that tastes exactly like an analog. It ain't gonna happen. Most people find the taste of analogs disgusting after they start vaping. Your mileage may vary though.

I initially voted for the 510. It's still my backup and away from home unit. Now the Prodigy is my #1.

Awesome thread, it has helped me pick out my devices much more easily!

Beelz · 07-19-2009, 06:55 PM

I like my RN4081 / super mini. I think its a good cig for newbies because of its low initial cost and decent performance. I also like the fact that it looks alot like an analog and think that makes for an easier transition to e-smoking.

My sister has a 510 and she loves it. She also started with the RN4081 but jumped on the titan the first chance she got. I think its a great ecig and see myself getting one in the near future.

As of right now I sell RN4081's to people at the bar I work at and will have to wait until I get rid of my current supply before I can get my 510. After that I think I will completely switch to using and selling 510's.

Hi Folks. I am totally new and don't know squat about what I'm talking about. I happened to hear a blurb on the news about e-cigarettes, so I hurried to look it up and found your site. I've been reading and finally decided to sign up. It seems as if alot of you have several differant devices you use. Are they that finicky that they sometimes just don't work?
When Cigs got so expensive, I began rolling my own. I shouldn't be smoking at all since I have COPD, but I'm stupid and I love smoking. In fact, I listed it as one of my hobbies.

Pretty bad, huh? I looked on the Pure Smoke site and the 901, but I don't know what all to order, or even if that is one I should try. Can someone suggest to me what I might be able to try first? I smoked Winston 100's.

GrandmaMary · 07-23-2009, 01:47 AM

Where can I get a 510 and or Prodigy? Please post a url. Thanks guys. I think I'm getting excited about trying this.

LoboTx · 07-26-2009, 04:56 PM

Newbie here too - just got my Joye 510 charged up last night, started vaping, so less than 24 hours in. Was a little disappointed at first, but this morning I think I'm getting some traction with it. Have interspersed some regular smokes with it, but I'm starting to believe this thing may work !
Did some homework before ordering the 510, and this site combined with Arno's advice at "yourlastcig" this seemed a good comprimise. I'm a smoker of 38 yrs, 1.5 pks a day, menthol. I think my job now is to just keep vaping and try different flavors until I find some that I really like. Great thread, great forum - thanks to all who contribute !
