Blu cig mod

[Prof G]

I like so many was lured into buying the blu as a first e-cig. Yes, I have flogged myself accordingly as punishment for my stupidity. I however didn't come to my senses in time to send it back for my money back. *sad panda* I did however figure out a few tricks to using the blu that can make it a usable backup to my current 510. If you're in the same boat as me you might want to use this trick.

I found that my biggest problem with the blue was the terrible wicking from the carts. It was slow and sometimes wouldn't clear the reservoir. Which in turn led to short cart life and sporadic vapor production.

3 easy steps to this mod:

1. Pop out the reservoir with a paper clip.
2. Use a razor to cut off the first 3-4mm of the cart from the mouth end not the atty end.
3. Use your blu as a direct drip.

Yes this seems overly simple. Yes I too barely call this a respectable mod. Yes it seems like a quick BS mod for a poor product, but this is me trying to find a silver lining. I now use my blu for flavor experimentation mostly but it also comes in handy as a back up if I forget to charge my 510 bats.

Pros to this mod:
3-4 drops for me equals about 14 drags, which happens to be my average number of drags on an analog.

You get, to be honest, good vapor production, better than the carts by far.

If I make a juice that is too strong or just plain horrible I don't have any down time waiting for an atty to dry after a cleaning and I don't have a cart I need to restuff.

If I flood/destroy an atty.... who cares? It's a backup I'm just using as a testing platform.

Cons:
Still a blu.

If you find yourself either waiting for your replacement to the blu to show up, need a quick backup for your main piece or just want a tester e-cig for your juice experiments and have a blu collecting dust give it a go. Happy vaping!

I have to agree with you here, Prof. The blu has terrible carts, but it's a pretty good little dripper and it's perfect for stealth vaping at work. The carts and the short battery life are the worst part about it...but the PCC is very nice and helps make up for it.

I've cut the end off of a few blu carts and just carry a 3mL bottle of juice in my pocket all day. It works out perfectly.

Will Blu foam work in a Blu cart? What if you remove the plastic insert holding the filler?

Sorry, Badfish. I haven't tried the blue foam in a blu cart. I've gone exclusively to dripping.

But, I can tell you, you have to keep the little plastic insert that holds the batting or you will suck the juice right out into your mouth when you take a drag. Blecch!

Well, you can do the bfm on the blu carts. I just filled about 10 of them today with it. Just a tiny little piece stuffed in the actual cart(not just in the mouthpiece since the cart is a tiny plastic insert) and it holds the juice and wicks pretty damn well.

Though, I still do prefer dripping, but I find it better to pull of the mouthpiece(without cart insert) and drip a couple(2-4) drops on the bridge of the atty while holding it horizontally and letting it soak in.

I've had my Blu for a little over a month now.

The attys are broken in.... and it's a little vapor monster. And I agree, the only way to do the Blu is this mod right here, as I have done the same thing....

Though I find that 3 drops is too much and tends to almost flood out the atty. Sometimes even 2 drops seems too much. It's a pain in the .... to have to drip all the time... and the battery life sucks. But for being the little tiny POS e-cig it is.... it has become a vapor monster. The amount I'm getting from the thing is comparable to the eGo my boyfriend got. And I'm still SMOKE FREE!

I'm sure a 306 drip tip would work as well. I don't have one, But i do have a 306 atty, which works very nice on the blu.
