I know many like them so it must be possible to get them working, it's just that the few people I know were either drinking juice or gurgling. That's why I never tried one I guess, plus I just like vivi's so I'll admit I'm not impartial. Maybe the people I know just aren't patient enough to tweak it or something.

I think many people try to use the coil head longer than its intended life and end up with issues.

Hate to irritate the mods by further mentioning Blu, but I'm analyzing this ad for my next English paper.

Any peer suggestions are welcome.

Blu TASTES ghastly.

AND they made my lips dry out and chap overnight where the PV did nothing of the sort.

I love the Blu. I keep one just for the moments (rare moments) I need a cig feeling device. I hold it. I look in the mirror while waving it around like a glamorous, fat toothpick. I begin to puff on it...



... where is the vape, you oh so sexy little cigalike!? :facepalm:

James Dean. Oddly, the children these ads are target at- according to the save the children nutters, would never make the connection or even know who James Dean was.

My BFF (gawd, it's like I'm regressing!), ok, my friend in Alabama, when she hog tied me into vaping, told me "...and if you see Blu, just walk away.......turn around and walk......away..."
So I have yet to taste the delights of the oft mentioned "Blu" cig-a-like, but my curiosity will eventually be my undoing......I might bum a drag off of one, but with EvilZoe's enticing, first hand review, I don't think I'll be throwing down any hard earned pesos for the opportunity.

But, whatever it takes to kick the stinkies gets "2 thumbs up" from me!:thumbs:

*ghastly and vile........OMG, totally laughing.....!!!!*:lol:

The only positive I can say about them is that they kept me from smoking the single regular cigarette I still have and I didn't need to buy a pack of analogs.

THAT was what I was going to shoot for! Good call, good sir. There is an older Asian lady in the class to brush up her English, but other than that, I'm the oldest student there. I'm older than the instructor.

James Dean is the intro to my paper.

I remembered the pictures of him smoking from a class I took years ago on American pop culture of the 1950's. Clearly the AD agency for BLU modeled the shoot to bring back those images of J. Dean.

I firmly believe having a cigalike or two can be a wonderful addition to any vaper's utility belt. I have more mods than I care to admit, but I still carry a Volt with me everywhere I go.

In class I "chew" on it like a pen and stealth vape. Can't get away with that with my Provari or SVD. Also, my lady, she doesn't mind the mods at home, but when we're out and about and we want our private time, the Volts come with me. We've had a few dinners spoiled by people coming over to the table when I've brought a mod with me (always outside patio, never inside) and asking me a million questions. So to keep ourselves from unwanted attention, I use the Volts.

True story, I was eating dinner outside with my girlfriend and was using my Volt. A man interrupted our meal, forced his way into our conversation, and said, "I can't help but notice you're vaping. I vape too! But I have a better battery, it lasts longer, and I can crank up the power on this baby!" He showed me a Twist with a T3S on it and started explaining the features, how long it lasted, how it hit harder than those little stick thingies you get at gas stations, etc., etc. I didn't have the heart to tell him I work in a vape store. He was obviously excited, and I said, "Awesome, great, thanks for the info, man!" When he finally left, my girlfriend just looked at me and smiled.


WHAT!?!?!? DUDE...You missed a PERFECT opportunity to whip out a Provari or Vamo...and say "No, no......MINES BIGGER"

Even when I was a kid, and I'm 52, James Dean would have had absolutely no effect on me.....I'd be "like who is that dude?" I don't see how "kids" would make a connection with Stephen Dorf and "Blu's" are so cool. I didn't start smoking because of the Marlboro Man, heck I smoked Camels, and Nixon had already gotten cigarette TV ads off the air. Seriously, these "save the Children" people got missed when Natural Selection made it's last sweep.
The most obvious thing to do is ask "kids" who they look up to, if Big Bird started hanging out on the Street with a smoke hanging from his (her, it?) beak, yes, maybe I'd be concerned.............OMG......Big Bird is androgynous!:shock:

Well, we all know modern cigar smokers got that idea from Oscar the Grouch:ohmy:

When I was a kid it seemed as though EVERYONE smoked. They smoked on television variety shows and other shows, there were ads on television, my parents and most of their friends smoked....cigarettes were EVERYWHERE and it just seemed like that was what people did when they got older.

In elementary school we had the film every year graphically showing what cigarettes did to smokers' lungs and showed people with holes in their throats and all that. At the time I vowed I'd never smoke.

Yeah. Never....lol

I smoked from the time I was 12 to 7 1/2 days ago (except for the 3 days I was in the hospital last year and the month I was in jail....whoops).

I'm hoping it's different for kids now.


Ads wouldn't have made me smoke, however. Other kids smoking did.

My son, 26, never smoked, my daughter, 33, smokes on and off (and does an incredible bunch of really stupid things), and my parents, grandparents didn't smoke (Mormons). I watched Jackie Gleason, the Honeymooners, Dragnet, The Untouchables, and I Love Lucy when I was real little. They all had someone waving a cigarette around.
Children are going to do what they do because they are:
A. Curious
or
B. Everyone else is "doing it

And because they don't cough up a lung or get a hole put in their neck the first time with a smoke, they realize all the horror stories mom, dad, and teachers have told them are bologna<-rational thinking by a child who thinks in terms of the here and now.
