But I'm another one that likes Blu. As I wrote in my post before this, why can't I just enjoy my Blu? It's almost a bad word to say on this forum and it should not be that way. I readily accept that I'll be buying a 501, etc. etc. as I mentioned in my previous post, but I'll always love my Blu. It's what got me, personally, off analogs and I personally enjoy it. Sure I'm in the minority. I've always gone for the underdog teams in sports for instance. That's just me. Interesting thing is, my Blu PV works for me - my needs. People should be ok with that. If I ever ask a question about cleaning attys on my Blu for instance, like I did to Cassie, she was kind enough to answer without telling me to dump a product I like. That's real help. Just my 2 cents.
When Magus86 wrote this below, I think he's right, IMHO.
Actually that wasn't me, but I totally agree with the person you quoted.
And if there's one thing I've learned in life, it's that statistics generally don't mean jack .... because whoever's presenting them will present them in a way that is skewed to get you to side with whatever agenda they're pushing down your throat. There are usually lurking variables involved that are never mentioned because if they would be, the cause and effect relationship people usually use statistics to try to prove would be much easier to dismiss because it simply isn't there.
For example... During the summer months there are a lot more people eating ice cream than any other time of the month. There also happen to be a lot more people drowning during the same months that there are a lot more people eating ice cream. I could put these two together and deduce that eating ice cream must cause drowning. However, I would be a fool to suggest this because that's friggin' ......ed. There are more people drowning because there are more people swimming because it's HOT, which is the same reason more people are eating ice cream. You don't usually eat ice cream when it's colder than a witch's tit outside, and you sure as hell would't be swimming then either.
Also, I used to go to an airsoft forum where everybody bashed the living hell out of an airsoft gun company called HFC. They all swore up and down, usually without any experience with what they were bashing, that HFC made nothing but crappy guns. They also swore up and down that UHC was a great gun manufacturer. Well, to this day I have NO UHC airsoft guns left because they all broke to the point of being unusable. However, only the very first HFC gun I bought is no longer with me(the stock broke and I sent the rest of it to a friend for parts), and all the rest still are. Why? because they're durable as hell, despite what people said and what your almighty statistics showed. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find that there are a lot of people who will bash blu without ever even using it simply because they see and hear it getting bashed constantly.
My point here is that people talk out their asses a lot. This is not to say that I think everybody here who doesn't like blu is doing the same, but I'm sure there are some.
When I got my blu and was having battery issues, I went searching on the internet to see what kind of battery life others got. I read thru all kinds of stories about blu sucking and thought I'd just made a huge mistake at first. But I kept with it and found out it's not all entirely true. I know it's not the best. It might be the worst, but I find that hard to believe. Regardless, it's not a gigantic worthless POS like most people seem to make it out to be. Like I said, we need to help people make the most out of their blu experience, or point them in the direction of something that will suit them better... But this negativity and constant bashing is unnecessary and in my opinion, just plain wrong.
I went with blu because it was the cheapest I could find for what I got. I'm well aware that there are cheaper suppliers of L88Bs,but I can only seem to find ones that would have to ship from another country, which means it would have to go thru customs. Given the seizures that are going on, I don't want to take that risk. Now that I have my kit, if I need replacement parts, they're not that expensive. And like I said, it does exactly what I need it to. It paid for itself already. It works for me, and I'm extremely happy with it. I'm not trying to change anybody's opinion, just enough with the damn bashing already.
I use my BLU 100% of the time. I have no other PV. I still smoke, but not because the blu doesn't do its job. I smoke to cover up the smell of something else.
Am I an idiot for loving their PCC design and that's one of the main reasons I bought it? Yeah I know, yes I am ... don't answer lol
