That's what Blu wants.

Not exactly that helpful dude lol.

To the op- go out and get yourself an evod setup. I recommend just getting it online. Usually you can get an ego battery with a couple tanks and some juice for less than 40$. Then you won't have to worry about buying carts and you can decide what flavors and nic strength and such you want to vape whenever

You are correct and I apologize to CueBunny.

Blu pisses me off. They are big tobacco trying to cash in. They don't care about vapeing they are just trying to find a way off their slowly sinking ship.
This is illustrated by high prices for 5 year old tech. It can work to kick the habit, but there are far better and more enjoyable options out there.
Poke around the forum and you'll find a ton of threads about starter gear.

If you let us know a little more about your goals with vapeing and your smoking history we can steer you in a direction that will hopefully work well for you.

No idea if it still the case, but AFAIK the tobacco juice that Blu uses/used is a proprietary mix made for them by Johnson Creek.

There are A LOT of quality tobaccos out there, do some testing and im sure you'll find one as good or better.

Best of luck!

Find a local B&M and do some taste testing. There's a ton of vape stores
opening up everywhere where I live and I'm sure you should have a few as
well. All the ones I have been to do taste testing. Go there and ask for
suggestions for good tobacco flavors. They should have something that
suits your fancy. :)

A quick solution would be VISIT a VAPE shop.

Have them help you find a e-liquid you like, in your preferred strength. Purchase a 30ml. bottle
Purchase a decent Variable voltage battery, charger and 2 Bottom coil tanks.(Buy some extra coil heads for the tanks).
Consider a second Battery as a backup or for use while charging the other.
Have them show you how to properly fill and operate.

Your initial purchase will be roughly 4x refills price but will last considerably longer and the next purchase should only be more e-liquid.

Kinking the habit - Spend now, save later. Win the battle :)

Hi, when I first started vaping I bought the blu set up. The carts didn't give enough vapor, they were extremely expensive, batteries didn't last long enough and all in all I was unhappy. But I found there are A LOT better alternatives to the blu. I also now make my own e juice which costs me pennies on the dollar. A far cry from the 15 dollar blu carts and even the 6 to 10 dollar e juice. I've gone through many different devices but found variable voltage and variable wattage to be the very best choice. I've now settled in with my ipv2 50 watt box mod with the sx v2 yihi chip. It works like a champ. I now build my own coils and use a rba.I get great flavor and vapor production. The point to my sharing this is to let you know there are many other better options than blu. Which is best for you, you will have to decide. Just know they are available for less than you think. Find what's important to you, weather it be flavor, vapor production, saving money, or all the above and you will find a set up to accommodate your needs. I suggest you look online or at your local vape shop so you can see what is available to you. So many different vaping mods are available I'm certain you can find one to fit your lifestyle and income. Please know there is much much better solutions than the blu. They can be as easy as you like or as complicated. They have solutions to fit every lifestyle. I'm confident it will offer you a much much better experience than your getting with the blu. When I was using blu, I wish someone would have told me about the other options available. I eventually found them but it would have saved me a lot of hassle, time, and money if I would have known. So if blu is not quite cutting it with you don't worry. There are many more better vaping options avaible to you. I hope this helps.

I don't think there's anything all that bad about the Blu batteries, it's just the cartos that suck. If you want to get your money's worth out of your Blu batteries, just use the Vision Nano Clearos on them, they work much better.

Vision Nano Clearomizers

These would work great but i LOVE the blu tobacco flavor, and i cant find any juice to match it
