Blu Troubles

[Wanda Mack Doty]

I tried a friends Blu and that is what opened my eyes to the wonderful world of vapor...I have not purchased anything yet but I am so excited to puff again and not feel like a bad mom! I hope you get your issues resolved...I had my eye on a blu kit on ebay but I am going to take it off my watch list. Best of luck to you!

I am smoking blu right now so I will give you a couple of tips to help you get the best out of it. I am not very happy with it and have ordered a Joye eGo (anxiously waiting!!!), but I am trying to vape my blu as much as possible and avoid as many analogs as I can.

When you put your cartridge on pull it back off and make sure there is no foil on the atty. Then turn the cartridge over and with a bent paper clip or something, push back as much of the foil to the sides of the cartridge (or pull it out if you can). I also do blow on my atty when I can. I keep my batteries super charged, that makes difference. I have found the best vape I get it this: a good seal around the cartridge with my lips I take a small puff and then in the same breath, then take a longer draw. It's almost like it primes the atty or something.

I hope I was of some help.

Is there a way to change the front page/subject to better cater to how this thread has changed. People are reading the first few posts and responding, which is appreciated but, since there are already solutions posted, we should be focusing more on those.

I'm interested in trying 306 cartos on the blu.

I really like the 510 cartos. I wouldn't mind trying the 306 with a drip tip though.

One of the best tricks I have found is dripping a couple of drops of Menthol juice on the atty and then putting back on an older flavor cart. The flavor cart will then give great vapor (due to the dripping) and the Menthol juice cuts the harshness of the Blu carts (which have always had a harsh th, almost scratchy feeling). You don't really taste the Menthol but it does add a slight cool aftertaste.

LOL! My husband says the same thing to me! I started with a Blu kit, and I just ordered a 510 yesterday. I can't wait until it gets here.

I too have the Blu, got it Sat. I have read the entire thread but now cant find where you posted what you ordered to get the better results for it. I really like the look and feel, but am burning up the carts like crazy. Tho' I have cut my analog consumption from a pack and a half a day to 5 a day! What did you buy and from whom. Thanks!

306 cartos on a blu is awesome. these work great on the blu. better than 510 cartos on the blu.

I am going to order some juices from Johnson Creek tomorrow and will let you know which ones best taste like the Blu juices. I really likes the flavor of their Classic Tobacco, Vanilla and Cherry.

just send your blu back to the store for a refund and get something better thats what i did

 

[Mr.Self_Destruct]

If you want your blu to work well get 306 cartos, they are amazing on a blu. Also get some juice from Backwoods brew.

I have mods and such, but now with the 306 cartos I can be satisfied with the blu.

 

[rege]

i got a full refund when i sent mine back and i used all but 7 carts

you made your point..

twice.

It doesn't help people that want to make their blu experience better.

ok chill enjoy your blu

I get aggravated with people with your response. I just wanted to make my blu work for me, and everybody would give me your response. That's not helpful at all. My blu went into retirement once I got a 510. Now that 306 attys are all the rage, suppliers are carrying 306 cartos.. I was able to buy 306 cartos. Now the blu works better than most stock PV's.

I have experience now with many mods, attys, cartos, lr attys, and lr cartos. 801, 901, 510, 306.

And the blu with 306 could satisfy most people now.

ok dude good luck with that all i was sayin is i got a full refund for mine if you wana keep yours go for it

I've had it since April. Stopped using it by May. I just started using it again a week ago and it's amazing now.

Everyone already knows they can return it. It's nice to have a super mini that works. I finally made it work. And it works very well.

So yeah, i guess I'll keep it. And help those that want help.

Keep fighting the good fight, Bert! I salute you.

I think it's also important to mention that the blu works wonderfully with a 306 drip tip too. I don't know how the cartos are, but I know that the flavor is AMAZING with a drip tip on a blu. When I got my 510 drip tip, because of how good the blu is with a drip tip, I was expecting it to just blow my mind, but it doesn't. I don't regret buying my 510 drip tip at all, but it should be noted that the blu with drip tip gives the best flavor. The 510 atty just runs too hot, I think. Oh, and anybody who says that the blu is bad for dripping because of the auto battery can shove it because they obviously haven't tried dripping with it and therefore know NOTHING about it and should keep their mouths shut. The 510 with CARTRIDGES gives me MUCH more trouble as far as flooding and getting juice in the battery hole and threads is concerned than the blu does. Getting juice in the battery is always a concern when dripping, but it is much more of a concern with the 510 than the blu(using auto batteries in the 510, obviously, as the manuals have no hole).

Hey Rege, if you'd read the thread, you'd notice that the OP has already found a solution to his "problem." You'd also know that there was a lot of crap going back and forth about people making unhelpful posts just like you did. Like Bert said, everybody knows you can send the blu back. It says so right on their website, and it's been mentioned in this forum more times than I want to remember. Posts like yours contribute NOTHING. Congratulations for wasting forum hosting space regurgitating crap.

Hi Lord,
You lucky you even got your starter kit. I too liked the Blu lit especially the blue light. But I ordered a Blu kit over two weeks ago and continued to get "processing". When I called (twice) they told me within 48 - 72 hours. I cancelled and ordered from Volcano (same product, diff package). Big diff is customer service, volcano has their own forum as well to answer all questions. Funny how my volcano is on its way (i ordered it yesterday, they ship from Hawaii and the package is in Tennessee as we speak) to be delivered tomorrow. After scouring the Volcano website and between this forum and the Volcano Forum, I am confident I can get all questions answered. Volcano forum has a "glossary of terms" that will help with the vaping lingo. Volcano also has drip tips for using juice on your ecig.
I so look forward to becoming a vapor and saying goodbye to analog cigs. Hope you find your answers, I think you will on both forums.
