Hello Everyone this is SadLittlePony here to review the Blu Origional Starter Kit. Take this review with the knowledge that this is my opinion on the product and that it does not necessarily reflect the overall quality of this product. Any views expressed are entirely my own and take full responsibility for what I say.

Little over a week ago I purchased a Blu Disposable E-Cig to try it out. I seen on TV years back before I was a smoker some commercials and news reports on the Blu and the new Electronic Cigarette Revolution. The thought of smoking something and getting the benefits but none of the drawbacks excited me. The disposable lasted me all but Four Hours. I knew it was just the life of the battery and did not reflect the cartomizer.

The next day I picked up the starter kit from Wallgreens and it was packaged nicely like I just bought an iPod or a nice watch of some kind. This excited me a bit. I knew I was in good hands of a master crafter. At the top of the review there is a list of all the contents which were all packaged nice and tight.

I charged the portable pack with one battery inside and I charged the second battery with the provided USB charger. This process tool a little over 2 hours to get good and charged. I left it for another hour to ensure the full capacity is being used. I started off with the coffee cartomizer. The coffee tasted amazing. It tasted like pecan pie. The vapor wasn't that impressive but I have my work arounds for that.

The battery life while vaping lasts about 3-4 hours of continual vaping. Not too bad but still annoying when you vape as much as I do. Fortunately there are two. While I am at home I leave my spare plugged into the wall and swap between the two. Each cartomizer lasts between 3-5 battery swaps depending on the flavor. Straight Tobacco and Menthol last the longest and the stronger the treat flavors the shorter they last. Compared to an analogue cigarette the vapor production is significantly more until the battery starts to run down or the cartomizer starts to run dry.

Now even though I happened to get a bad batch of tobacco my first time I will still talk about them. The first cartos I got tasted like burnt plastic. I contacted customer support and they were happy to replace them for me. Supposedly what happened is I received a few cartomizers filled with bad E-Liquid. Now the new tobacco ones taste like a good cigarette with a hint of maple nut in it. Very light flavor, thick vapor and a light throat hit. The cherry flavor wasn't impressive. It tasted like cherry almond coke to me. Lastly the menthol was good until I burnt out the carto sucking on it too hard. It had a taste of peppermint to it.

Blu does have a few flaws that I should mention. The indicator light on the pack is so bright I can use it as a flash light. Not good for charging both your batteries in the middle of the night. Blu is also known for its lack of decent vaping experience. I have a short guide to improving your overall experience found here. This short guide will only leave you wanting more and you will probably progress to getting a better Personal Vaporizer.

Overall I can tell that Blu took time in constructing their product. Its solid and vapes extraordinarily well for its size. The portable charge pack is a little on the heavy side with everything in it but fits perfectly in your pocket. It is roughly the size and shape of a pack of Pall Mall 100's. The charger pack can charge a battery about 5 times before it dies. The price of this Blu is well worth it for what you get. Especially if your looking to have something you can carry around all day and smoke anywhere discretely. The whole unit itself is nice and elegant.

If you are looking to use the Blu to kick the habit of lighting up you may want to keep looking unless you are only a light smoker. The nicotine content is too light to save a chain smoker such as my self but you can reload the cartomizers with E-Liquid with a higher saturation of nicotine. This concludes my review, Have a wonderful day.

Did they tell you what was wrong with the cartos? How much vapor clouds do you get from it, more or less than analogs?

[SadLittlePony]

Mmm good questions. I shall answer those and then add that information to the review!

The vapor is a lot more than an analogue until the battery starts to wear down or the carto starts to run dry.

They also stated that my tobacco cartos probably came from a bad batch of E-Liquid.

Thanks for commenting!

Dont buy a Blue. I started off with them because I tried their disposable from walgreens. The disposable was great so I ordered a starter kit. Purchased the Premium 100 kit with 5 packs of cartos. My batteries would die within an hour of using and the cartos didnt last nearly as long as they imply. The worst part is that they arent designed to be refilled and they dont sell blanks so you are stuck paying $2 a carto. Half of my cartos got the burnt taste within 50 puffs. Customer service was nasty when I called. After trying over and over, I decided to return the kit for their money back guarantee. It took them 4 1/2 weeks to refund my money from the time they received it.

I dont know man my cartos refill just fine for me. And they only burn if i get them too hot. I have learned to keep it cool and still get a thick vape. Now I agree that Blu pretty much sucks and people shouldnt buy them. But if your looking for just something to have its still a good choice. Better than other brands that are so off beat you cant even put your own cartos on it. The Blu is a 510 connection so if you want to you can put some boges on it and vape happy. The battery does a good job for short periods of vaping but its not an all day PV in the least.

Is the FUMA an all day PV or is the battery just good in spurts too? Have you tried the Blaze? I find it as an all day ecig except for it came with just one battery.

great review! very informative! thank you!

I have not tried the Blaze but seeing as I am looking for a good PV for bringing to work ill probably try it. The fuma had a pretty decent battery. If your looking for all day though you should get a second battery.

Almost 2 years ago I purchased blu kit. Well lets just say that I didnt know anything about e-cigs at the time. So long story short, I went back to analog smoking for about another year. I then discovered the ego style batt-ecig combination about 8-9 mos. ago and totally quit smoking period and have since been vaping exclusively. Dont have anything good to say about blu. There are products out there that actually work so you dont need to waste your time on blu. Even with the lowest end ego knock-off product I've tried, it was still light years ahead of blu. I was actually shocked when I saw the dates of people posting on here about blu. I cant believe this blu is still relevant in the realm of vaping with what is out there now. I blame myself for not doing my research and buying this product in the first place. But for those trying to quit smoking for health reasons and dont have $ to burn...."Ego Batt". Just google that and research from there. Seriously I can't believe this thing is even being talked about other than as a obsolete past product like a vcr or something like that. Hope this helps someone cause it could have saved me $75.
