I recently bought 2 e-cigs to test how I like them. 1 was Blu and I didn't buy a kit. Just battery, cartomizers, and wall outlet charger. To my surprise I needed the usb charger as well. 2nd was cheap brand Mini Electronic Atomizer (MEA) from local store. Mainly because it came with usb charger. Plus I figured I would have 2 spare batteries. My problem is the setup between the 2 e-cigs are different. Blu has threads on the inside and MEA has threads on the outside. So i can't charge my Blu battery with the usb cause it has to screw into the usb and I cant use my Blu cartomizer with MEA battery cause threads are both on the outside. :mad:

So I tried to do some searching but just left me confused. I found all kinds of adapters but basically they are ex: 510 to 801 and vise versa. I did manage to find Screwdriver Body To 510 Atomizer and 510 Cartomizers To Screwdriver Body. Now would the screwdriver body be the battery? :confused:

I would like to find an adapter that would fit on the Blu to charge with the MEA usb charger or a MEA battery adapter to add cartomizers. Or are there cartridges that will fit the MEA?

E-cigarettes are not compatible for the most part. In fact, even though there are couple of models with the same threads as Blu (mainly Joye 510), the Blu's charging cable is reverse electrical polarity and will actually melt a 510 battery. However Blu can use standard resistance (not LR) 510 or 306 atomizers and cartomizers.

I have no idea what that other thing you bought is so there is no way to suggest an adapter. If you buy random stuff you end up with random stuff. A picture does not help. There are multiple models with male batteries.

And remember you can melt things by trying them in each other's chargers. Similarly - adapter's are not meant for using another model's charger. Each charger cable provides the correct electrical polarity and amount for the model it is designed for. Adpters are only for using one model's atomizers or cartomizers on another model's battery.

Screwdriver is the name of a model of fat-battery ecig.

Meh, figured as much. Was hoping to get lucky tho. Guess I'll have to just buy some kind of kit and go from there. So far $60 down the drain and looks like another $45-$60 to spend on a kit. Then more money on trying different e-liquids + accessories. Seems like traveling down the e-cig road for the first time can be pretty expensive and time consuming. Anyways, thanks for your reply.
