510 Cartos and Attys will work with the Blu batteries, and you should not see any decrease in battery life from this. However, If you are going to use 510 Cartos and Attys I would make the recommendation that you also (at some point) move up to 510 Mega Batteries (these do come in both auto and manual) and a 510 Mega PCC. You will get roughly 3 times the battery life from those as you do your blu batts now. Granted they are longer, but if its performance you are after, this might be the way to go. Also, if you are looking for a solid 510 kit with regular size batteries (roughly 2x the life of the blu batt) and a pretty sweet PCC with all kinds of cool features check out the Magma by Volcano. While I dont use regular batts much any more, I am seriously tempted to buy one.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that YES, the Magma is more expensive than most 510 kits you see online. Just suggesting it as an alternative to Blu as they are similar in price point.

I haven't had any battery issues using Blu with 510 cartos/atty's vaping on a blu batt and a carto right now. What is really nice with the Blu batts is you don't have to buy another PCC to use 510 carts and cartos the carts/cartos will fit in the blu pack just not five of them, but since 510 carts will last longer you dont need so many , the PCC will hold 3 510 carts staggered. It seems to be a good choice until you are ready to upgrade(spend more money sigh*) on batts.

The 510 atty outperforms the Blu as far as vapor and throat hit. AS far as which is better a 510 carto or atty it depends on what you like I perfer th atty but I still use the carto for convenience they seem to last me longer than a 510 cartridge. A 510 mega cartridge only works on a mega atty. For the mega PCC I have seen them for $25-30 but I would look around for one to get the besst price. I just bought my regular Joye PCC for $20. They also sell the regular Joye PCC as a kit 510 PCC Kit It is the regular size batts though. The link is just to show what there is out there I would shop around if this interests you. I think I have seen them cheaper elsewhere.

that kit looks pretty cool. idk if i will buy a kit or work my way slowly. starting out with some 510 cartos for my blu and then maybe a pass through cable or a 510 batt. is it worth it to pay all the extra money for the mega batts, attys, and mega pcc? or just stick with the regular one. everyone on this forum is swearing to their 510 so i'll probably be impressed in comparison to my blus

I bought Blu first then later I got a regular Joye 510 and yes you will see a huge improvement compared to the Blu. A month after the reg Joye I bought a mega and the larger battery makes a huge difference in how often you have to charge. The kit I bought was from esmokeronline it is a Joye knockoff and i like it better than the real thing. If you are going for least expensive right now I would just get some cartomizers to use with the Blus and then upgrade later. If you like the PCC I would just get the reg size Joye that is what I have. I bought the Joye kit and then the PCC later. THe PCC only hold 1 batt unlike the Blu.

I get 5-6 refills then the filler seems yucky to me but I have heard that boiling them them drying them in rice will make them last many more times but I perfer to use them 5-6 and toss them I use 1 carto a week I usually refill it everyday then trash it on sunday and fill a new one for the next week I go thru a pack of 5 about every month and I always have the 5th one for a back up.

I use different ones for flavors but only cetain flavors if I use raspberry I will put choco, vanilla, blackberry after one another but these all go well together. It is just what you like I guess I like to only use 1 carto a week so I will refill with flavos that go good together. When I want a new flavor that doesnt match I use the atty and drip or use my blu carts.

I do dripp .... but not very often it hurts my teeth I think the vapor is too warm. I use a 510 atty and a drip tip I like these atty's because they are enclosed. The drip tip i like is Volcano Fine Electronic Cigarette Anodized Auminum Drip Tips they are shaped and rest in the lips nice.The colors are great too. If you want to drip with the Blu cut off the vey end of a cupless old cart and put it on and just drip thru it. Just be careful your batts are auto if they get juice in them they are done for.
 
Okay. I went from smoking a blu to a magma, and one day decided (for curiosity's sake) to try to put the 510 magma atty on a blu battery and it sure does work! It looks kind of funny because the magma atty is slightly wider, but it screws in just perfectly!It's better than a stock blu but still not as good as full on magma batt and atty together.

All in all, I don't see a reason to put a 510 atty on a blu batt, but it does work.

so I got my and cartos and wow what a difference! one question on filling them tho. mine have a white rubber plug on the mouthpiece side opposite the batt. it appears the cart doesn't come off the atty guess that's just the design. but the filler looks weird. the filler is only on the outside edges of the cart with a hole in the middle. when filling and topping off I noticed if juice drips down the hole it leaks out the bottom! is this normal? when filling should i concentrate on Just getting juice on the outer ring of filler? how do I know when it's full? how many drops of juice do you guys get with them?

there is a vid on youtube about filling cartos, first they should have come with rubber covers on them the one on the battery end should have a plug that goes into the hole, you can put that in and drip into the mouth end or you can do the condom fill method this is the one i use YouTube - A double demo! The Cartomizer Condom Filling Method, and the Taryn Spin. hope this helps sorry iam on atime cruch school+ kids

thanks! i never thought to look on youtube. theres a bunch of vids with a ton of different methods. however, the condom method appears like it would work better for regular carts not cartos? i saw one guy do it like ive been doing which is to take the rubber insert(not the condom) off the mouthpiece and drip to the side and soak the filler til it doesnt look like it will hold anymore
