Wow. That was pretty fast after the up to three weeks notice. Just over 4 days and a weekend. Just to let you know customer service has been very prompt in answering my emails as well. Maybe new management? Ive read alot of bad reviews.

Only bad thing is that its at home, and Im at work :-x

I guess we'll have to see how it performs.
Ill let ya know!

Grats! I got mine maybe two weeks ago, it's not bad at all for a first vape in my opinion! After you run through all of your carts I'd suggest getting some liquid and refilling your carts (or dripping, but my blu atty doesn't seem to get much from dripping maybe 3 puffs?) and if you have the time and patience try doing a ptb mod for a few of your carts! (cant post a link, silly 15 post rule) Anyway, welcome to vaping mate!
Cheers

Ok Im set for a lil bit.
Both my starter kit and my extra 50 carts arrived at the same time. So I figure Im good for the evaluation anyway.

Everything works and the batterys were pretty much fully charged. The the pack charger wasnt and Im charging it now. Love the pack charger design.

This thing is both smaller and way lighter than my Smoking Everywhere. Its more comfortable to hold in my lips where as I had to use my teeth on the SE. Still kind of heavy, but I guess lighter = more expensive.

I know there is a break in period for the att, so Im not going to worry about that for now. IMO, it produced less vapor, but in a more steady way than the SE. Funny thing is that I hit it and get a throat hit, but not alot of vapor is coming out when I exhale, and the strength of the cart is giving me a slight buzz after 10 analogs today. I can hit it harder and get more vapor, but I dont really need to, and I dont think thats the intention of the product compared to a fog mechine. It seems to be a simple delivery system, and the vapor is getting thicker as I use it.

First impression, Blu is better than Smoking Everywhere by far. Im glad I found the SE, because it got me off smoking for over a month, and the person I gave it to has cut down on the analogs as well.. Im going to finish off this week with a combination of the analog and getting used to the Blu. Friday night before bed Ill celebrate my last analog after 22yrs, and sat, Ill go smoke free for the second time this year. Hope it lasts more than a month this time, lol.

Ill keep ya updated.

Is it wrong that when i first read the title "Blu is here!" the first thing that came to my mind was... "Ok great, Now get out"?


j/k

I had some poor experience with Blu But I LOVE IT, The customer service was always prompt and the quality was GREAT. Just the flavors i didn't care for, But i fixed that so my Blu was perfect :)

I've recommended Blu to a few friends looking for something that feels like a cigarette (Because its nearly PERFECT in size and feel) the charging unit works perfectly and holds enough carts to get through the day.

GL with your Blu :)

This atomizer is working hard. Very steady and sensitive. I can imagine the same atty/bat combination powering a larger ecig. If there is a fault for this thing it isnt performance, but size.

I know what you mean about the taste now G. Im rotating the cart and it helps without peeling the foil off. People should peel it off the atty after a few turns.. Giving the thing a break also gets rid of the bad taste for me. I cant help but think if it was a little bigger it would be a forum favorite.

Im going to go your route, and clean and drip. The tobacco flavor tastes pretty good to me, minus the burnt taste when it gets too hot.This first cart is lasting awile too. But if I can get a better one from Volcano or a direct Juice for less, Ill give it a shot.

I dont think this is a good product for someone thats sucking on it like they are clinging to a life raft, or for the person that enjoys a good light show. However, it seems to be a good, solid ecig to me. Very similar to smoking a real cig.

Going full time in the am.
Wish me luck!

I went Volcano instead of Blu.

I'm sure the vaping experience is similar notwithstanding ordering / customer service.

I'd recommend both for someone who is try to quit smoking for sure.

Cignot was kind enough to ship me a 510 for $35 so I'm anxiously awaiting my 2nd PV experience. I've got some tasty TV and Nhaler juices coming soon as well.

$#!%@ Tobacco imo. :)

Foil: I always kept the foil on them and did the push and twist but once i did that to pop the cart, I took the cart off and peeled the excess off the aty. Im not to fond of boiling that foil and film on the aty as i smoke, It also affected the taste.

Puff Away: One of my problems is I love to puff when im bored. I did the same thing with analogs. So for me a USB Passthrough ended up becoming my best friend.

My friend loves the e-cig because its good for the occasional puff. even he has called me up stating that sometimes it feels a bit hot. Which is funny because when i was looking into Blu one of the ads that they had was braging how they had one of the coolest burning atys out. One thing that might show as more heat is that the case of the ecig is so thin and small, The head goes though faster than on a larger thicker one.
