BLU Noob

[DaBrat]

Hello everyone I am new to the forums and ordered my Blu about two days ago. I have read all the info on the backorder problem and have to say I agree that this should have been upfront on the website before taking anyone's credit card info.

I would like any feedback on user's experience with this particular 'vaper?' (Bear with me still trying to get in with the lingo).

I have read a lot here about a 401 and other products can someone bring me up to speed on which they think is best in case the Blu void disappoints me and I decided to cancel?

Been smoking forever and want to try a good menthol (Marlboro Menthol Smooths are my current poison). Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Oh BTW please post full names and sites I can visit if you have any suggestions. As I said, I am a noob and don't quite have the lingo or nicks down.

As I said in another thread on this forum I had ordered the blu and made it 1 week through my 2-3 week wait (which might have turned out to be longer) and went with someone else. I was given free shipping and a little 1on1 advice on device/fluid selection. I got almost the same deal (missing the PCC) for $1 more than my blu kit was. I will later order a PCC for the 510 I bought for about $20-$25 and still have saved. I was told the device would be shipped today (ordered saturday night) and I should have it by wed/thurs. I am overall happy with the decision but will tell more once I receive my shipment.

If you are interested, the place I went with is rocky mountain vapor (you can find links somewhere on these forums).

If you can handle a 2-??? week wait, the blu does look pretty cool, but I am an impatient person and the wait was driving me nuts.

Thanks for responding Darkrift. I too am an impatient person and the latest news from CS did not leave me any more comfortable waiting on Blu. PLEASE post your experience when you receive your device. I have been searching for hours looking for something to order in place of the Blu but don't have a lot of experience.

Thank you so much

Just a quick reply brat, I started vaping 4 months ago and have bought several different vapers, 901,801,RN4081 and the 510. I enjoy the 901 and 801 but the 510 is where it is at. The thing is amazing, the only down fall would be the 2-3 hour batt. life but I just ordered a PCC and the batt. issue is no more.

Thanx pspin.. the 501 is one of the ones I have been drooling over also looking at the manual but lol... its like trying to decide which cut of steak you prefer, having never eaten steak..

Thanks again

Steak now we're talking. I can equate this to the blu being a dennys t-bone small and unimpressive and a 510 to Spencers Filet Mignon robust and flavorful. The 510 may cost more but let me tell you this, you get what you pay for.

I too am waiting for my order, I placed it on 6-6 and the status is still pending. I wasn't even aware of the back order issue until I got my confirmation email. Then looking on their website I found a note about current orders taking approximately 2 weeks to fill. They really should place that on the products or store page so customers are aware of the situation before they place their order.

I agree the fact that the item I wanted at Smoke 51 was on backorder and clearly posted is what got me into this mess....lol

yes there is. look in the reviews section and click on joye 510 and you can find vendors there. Also check to see if anyone has a good discount code by searching the forums. I bought my 510 from e-Smokey Treats - Electronic Cigarette's, The healthy alternative to traditional tobacco cigarette's
i got the thing in one day but they are in Santa Cruz and I am in San Jose which is only 30 or so miles away. You can check the smoke safe TheSmokeSafe.com - The #1 Source For E-Cigs, Parts, Accessories and Supplies!
my roommate got his from there and has had zero issues with it. Either of those two suppliers sell their kits with manual batteries, don't waste you time or money on autos with this unit.

Thanks so much. Just completed my order for the 510 (REALLY like steak ) with Rocky Mountain and most definitely went for the manual device. Should be here by end of week. Guys was super nice and put together a small sample pack of juices for me to try.

Holding to cancel Blu as we speak.

Hang around guys I have about 2 MILLION questions.

Thanks
Brat

Sorry had to cut your links... too much of a Noob.. not allowed.

I am also a NEW e-Cig user, what am I to expect from blu?

A long, long wait. . . . I ordered mine 6/12 and it hasn't shipped yet. Magically, they have taken the money from my account but when I contacted their CS to find out why my order is still pending if they have my money (they told me they put a hold on the funds until they are ready to ship, then they take it) and was basically told they didn't know.
