Default Just got my blu...

And i love it....i also have a 510 which i adore as well, but hell all the bad reviews on blu had me worried....but all is good...its a perfect e-cig....just make sure you plan on filling your own carts. But the 510 taught me that,...the pcc for the blu isnt flimsy all...yes its plastic, but its thick...thick enought to feel solid....i reccomend it as a highly portable great pv. a great addition to my collection.

i canned my blucig order after three or four weeks and had an L88B shipped overnight from aqua vapor. they call it a cheap product and have decided to no longer sell it ( they offer bats and addys ). it didnt come with all the sexy chargers but the case does the charging pretty damn well. After 26 hours of ownership the atty went out. Lucky me i live in dallas and craigslist has a few mobile vaper dealers rollen around. after trying 3 cars 4 bats and blowing it out still nothing i was able to stick a paperclip in the bottom where it connects to the battery and it moved the center terminal out and all is well.

I picked up a suresmoke ( guy @ mall selling 8 dollar bulk order super cigs ( i think thats what it was) not really for the product but the fact the kid working the booth spent about 45min telling me about the product , the others and where to get better deals on juice attys ect. that and a one year no questions asked warranty seemed like a good idea)
it does the job and kicks out LOADS more vapor when compaired to the L88B but the draw,vap taste, makes the blue or L88B so much better. I did break the foil on top of the atty so it expands more into the cart and it seems to be an improvement.

Same here. Blu was the first e-cig I had ever heard of and it was sexy too, but then the reviews I read were bad. I decided to go with IV.

I wouldn't review the Blu poorly. It has it's time, and place. I love it for sneaking a quick drag when I don't want to carry around a bunch of supplies. I have many many other models, and I think my least faves are the M401 and Nebula. Other people adore them, so if anything, you really can't go on someone else's opinion 100%.

I canceled my blu order, though the PCC woulda been nice. Now I'm waiting for the remodel of the 901 PCC's (and my actual 901s too hope they get here before these 4081 batts completely conk out on me).

Yet another person who cancelled a blu order here. Went for a 401 instead. Roughly the same thing, except supplies are plentiful, and I had it the day after I ordered it.

Would still like to try a blu someday just to see, but I don't see myself ever buying one. Glad to hear they're not a *total* scam though.

Took 6 weeks but I finally just got mine two days ago. I'm a relatively long time smoker and Ove first time e-cig user, so this is all new to me. Overall it's ok, but somewhat disapointing.

Almost all reviews I've read say it's just like the real thing, but I would definitely argue that. This seems like more of a way to get off cigs and substitue the nicotine than it seems like an alternative to real smoking. I'm not using e-cigs to quit smoking, i simply bought it as a healthier and cheaper alternative to regular cigarettes.

Positives:
*sleek design
*usb charger and box charger
*about the size of a real cig
*looks like a real cig
*easy to use
*"healthy" way to get nicotine fix

Negatives:
*battery charging system is shoddy. instructions say when blue light "turns off" on box then the battery is charged and the cig is ready for use. well that's great, but the problem is the blue light never really turns off, it blinks sometimes, it goes out for a few min the comes back on sometimes, really unreliable.
*the hits seem wildy varied. first few usually are relatively realistic, but then after that it's toatally hit or miss. Some are so weak you can't even tell if it's working and some are just so so.
*Seems to require a lot of "sucking" to get a hit.

After reading a little bit I took a pin and cleared out some of the foil in my cartridge and that made no real change at all.

Very frustrated to read on here that to make most of the brands work you have to go out of your way to put liquid on the atomizer itself (dripping? I think..). Kind of defeats the simplicity of the whole thing.

Some have said that the atomizer "matures" after use? Anyone who can confirm that?

Thanks for any info you can give since I'm a newbie and somewhat clueless.

I would like to review one of these one day, maybe after they get caught up. The PCC is more interesting to me than anything.

wow, the product and website design are very sleek... which is kind of funny because apparently the product itself doesn't even work that well.

looks like someone invested a decent amount of money into making this prodcut.
