I own a blu and really am not impressed with it. But because the attys for the 510, 306, and m801 are all compatible I ordered each to test them out and see what my vaping style is. The blu is great for its charging pack but the atty is weak at best and not consistant at all. Alot of ecigs are coming out with pcc now, like the 510 and 901. Just a question for anyone did the volcano packs get recalled too since it is the same model as blu?
Volcano V-Packs were not recalled, but possibly should be. All Volcano has said to date that I know of is that none of their customers have reported any problems, which, of course, doesn't mean there isn't the same lurking safety issue that eventually burned a blu customer. (blu has shipped a LOT more packs than Volcano, I have to imagine.)
I have two 306a atomizers that I've been using alongside blu ones, and really the performance difference is negligible. In fact, the ONLY difference I notice when I happen to be using a 306a atomizer is that it heats up to the "ouch" level faster. But vapor production is pretty much just the same.
Honestly, the blu atomizer is probably the best component in the e-cig. Screw it on to a 510 battery and see if you can tell the difference in vapor production between that and a 510 atomizer. Because I can't. The blu performs poorly out of the box because the cartridges don't wick liquid to the atomizer fast enough, and the battery is relatively weak so the vapor production and throat hit are throttled back. Fix the wicking problem by using better liquid and cart filler, and the blu gets LOTS better.
I don't use 510 atomizers with blu equipment because one of the main reasons I use a blu is because of the form factor. And I have the 510 PCC, and it's nowhere near as practical as blu's.
I have a Revolver Elite coming in the mail, and if anything can lure me away from the L88b, I bet it's that thing. The PCC is smaller than blu's, has a backlit LCD display to show how much charge is left, starts charging only when you press and hold a button, and shuts off automatically when the battery is charged instead of making you unscrew the charged battery to avoid power drain. The Elite is also 2 mm shorter than the L88b.
But the L88b is still such a good fit for me, I know I'll be using them for a good long while.
