Thanks guys, Im going to try to switch out 2 analogs for 10-12 puff on the low cartridge blu and see how it goes. I did get the starter pack but I knew the high was way too much because I smoke ultralights so I bought allot of cartridges low (6-8mg) and medium (9-12mg). I was really excited that with the medium I was able to go 5 hours without smoking but I guess I maybe did too much too soon. I guess its easy to read how some people are able to just quit immediately and think "maybe I'll have it that easy" ha. Thanks again everyone for your help and hopefully by documenting my situation maybe it can help someone in the future like you guys are helping me. On the road to quitting!

Don't take this the wrong way. Most people that quit right away use better equipment than the Blu system. The Eroll system by joytech is often considered one of the best cig-a-like devices. Overall, it would be slightly harder than a blu but most likely way cheaper, and it would open up the options of different flavors. Here are links to both of the eroll systems.

Joyetech eRoll-C
9-12 mg/ml is still pretty low. I started with 12 mg, had to go a bit higher at the beginning. Or try to vape more frequently-10 puffs on a medium Blu cartridge will not do it.
Also, if you decide to stay with Blu, I suggest you get some empty 510 cartomizers (Boge or Smoktech) or skinny tanks (Kanger T4 510 threaded is a nice one) and get a little ejuice so you can control your nic strengths, flavors and quality of your vape a bit better. You should also start refilling your Blu cartomizers to save some money. THey can be refilled several times before they need to be discarded.
Hey guys just wanted to update you. I went back to the low cartridges and have been reducing one analog a day. Some for years I smoked 13 a day. I'm now down to 8 a day and will continue to eliminate one until I'm totally off analogs. I take 10-11 puffs on the blu and so far so good. No major cravings and no side effects. Sleeping great at night. I will update again after more progress but can't thank you guys enough!
I've insomnia, and I ask some doctor, they told me, I'm consume too many nicotine and caffeine 
I use 1-2pack local cigarette (strong nicotine and tar), per day, but now I can reduce it so much, because vaporizer help me a lot,
now I only using 1pack traditional cigarette for 1 week (when hangout). It's hard to totally stop smoking, because my friends are not vapers, I live in heavy smokers community, so they're see me like a freak guy using metal device... lol
But after I smoking cigarettes, next day I feel cold, maybe my body healing me

4:36 am, and I'm still up, but I'm a night person. LOL I actually think it was a miracle that I quit using cigalikes (I got some really cheap Fin ones online). I was a menthol smoker, and I got some syringes and some minty juice to refill the Fin cartridges, and that was so much tastier. Once I graduated to an eGo and another bigger mod with an AeroTank, I knew I probably would have quit smoking even sooner!
I have a horrible time with anxiety (I rarely leave my house), but I haven't really dealt with any physical side-effects that have bothered me enough to notice yet. I started with 18mg cartridges and liquids, and now I mostly use 12mg (and sometimes 6mg for flavors I know I'll vape a lot of!). The BIGGEST GREATEST thing about vaping for me is that I didn't go through the horrible depression as a side-effect when quitting cigs using other methods (patch, cold-turkey, Chantix). Vaping is relaxing, like smoking was to me, and the flavors are so great, and I have all the hand-mouth thing I was so afraid I'd miss if I just quit smoking. Of course, the hobby part is kind of troubling to me, cuz I'm buying WAY too much stuff, but overall, I couldn't be happier about not smoking for 3 months and having this forum to read! I really hope it all works out for you!

Just a little progress report. Now down from my usual 13 analogs a day that I smoked for many many years to only 3 a day. Tomorrow I will have 2 and that will be it for tobacco use for me. I did go ahead and get a ego system and ismokea mini tank and some 100% VG juice from johnson creek. However I have not used it yet. Still using the blu e cigs and they are working well other than crappy battery life. Luckily I bought like 5 batteries so it's no trouble but man they go by quick. Anyways Ill post another update when I'm 100% tobacco free which will be after this weekend.
