I'm quoting you because, yes, the batteries do overheat the cartridges (granted, dependant on how frequent and deeply you draw), and I got second degree burns on my tongue and throat from them (verified by an ENT and not do to any battery 'defect' since it occured with all three batteries. I'm glad someone finally mentions this because when I posted what happened to me, there was an influx of people saying no no that can't happen. Well, it can, it did and it's something people should know about. Thank you.

Yeah, blu's truly are of the poorest quality. I'm really glad they put who manufactures the liquid on the packaging... if it wasn't for that I probably would have stayed in that abusive relationship for a little longer than I did.

Sorry for what happened to you. That's almost worth suing over. There's no telling what else goes wrong with these things that could really mess your lungs up that aren't as noticeable and extreme as your case. If ecigs are ever made to be illegal, I'm sure blu will be to blame.

Blu uses a 306 type cartomizer. 306 has the same threading as the 510 and is compatible with 510 devices. The difference is the diameter of the 306 cartomizers is slightly less than a 510. Basically as others may have mentioned is that you can use any leftover blu cartos on a different 510 device such as the Kgo or Ego C Twist. The blu cartos (standard resistance) will give you a little warmer vape with a higher voltage device like the ones I have mentioned. Even then for some that is not enough wattage. Get some low resistance cartomizers (around 2.0 ohms) to try out on your new device to see how you like it. I prefer Boge LR 2.0 ohm cartos.

Edit: don't used low resistance cartos on devices such as the Volt and Blu because the mini type batteries cant handle the amp load.

I also fell for the Blu trap and wasted money...from the minute l received the Boy it did not work right, the battery did not last, i could not even make it the 20 min ride to work. So i bought the ego-t and love it, the battery last all day and i have used Blu cartos on my ego with no problem. Saving some money for a provari next.
