I ordered blu to quit smoking real cigarettes. I hate it. It is extremely inconsistent, hot, unsatisfying. I have to use a new cartridge after 15 puffs. It is supposed to contain 16mg of nicotine. I only smoked about 5-10 cigs a day previously. Theres NO way I have gotten even close to 16mg out of a cartridge. I emailed them a week ago and no reply. I don't understand the lingo you guys use on here and don't understand if I have to fill the cartridge or not on some of the other brands. From what I've seen the RN4081 looks amazing! Where can I get it? Do I have to refill it? Is there a better mini? Help!!!

Stop hitting it like a cigarette.

It takes a smooth, light and even draw to get the vapor out of it (or most any e-cig actually, but the Blu does require more finesse).

Go slow and light and you'll get a mouthful of cool, flavorful vapor.

Do be sure that when you install a cart you twist it at least 360 degrees, then pop cart off and remove foil from the atomizer bridge.

I read up on it a good amount before buying. I always take the foil off. It's impossible for me to be hitting it that inconsistently to go from about 5 good hits (fresh cartridge) to almost nothing. Each cartridge is different though. The menthol ones work the best. How is the rn4081? Njoy sells those right? Also I think I got the cartridge thing figured out. So i can buy liquid to refill them even the blu brand?

yes I refill my Blu w/ a syringe so I don't get liquid where it doesn't belong. make sure you don't over fill.

I didn't like blu with its stock cartridges cartridges honestly. The hits sucked, it didn't last long. However, after buying some e-juice and filling them myself and dipping when I'm at home, I've gotten better results to where I'm personally satisfied with it now. The blu forum might have some ideas on how to make it perform better.

As far as other min-models, I honestly couldn't recommend any because I'm still pretty new at this. There's a section of forums for vendors. You can check out their websites, find the best prices, post questions about specific models, and go from there.

The RN4081 pretty much sucks, from a newby perspective. It's OK once you learn to drip it. But I would suggest a 501 for you to start. I know I am all over the board in my opinions (semi-newb here too)......But out of the 4 models I own, I have decided that the 501 is my fav and the 4081 just sits there.

Your mom said not to say...
I would recommend either a m401 like the Dragon from Truesmoker.com or a 510 model from just about any other place, Innovapor.com has a cheap starter kit I believe as does Cignot.com

I bought the Dragon as my first E-Cig and I am glad I did, the 510 takes a day or so to break in and has the terrible taste on that atomizer that you have to get rid of first before you can enjoy it. I think either one of those models would do you well and would be a much better choice for you. If you think you might want to get a 6v mod later then I would advise you to buy a 510 now since that is a highly popular model that is modded while you don't see too many 401 6v mods, I have not seen one in fact.

For your first E-Cig though either one of those is a good choice, as is a k808d cartomizer but you will spend a little more in the long run with cartomizers.
