Blu?

[justcheryl]

Hi,

I am new to all of this. I am trying to quit smoking and just ordered the Blue starter kit. Has anyone tried this one?

I charged everything over the weekend and tried it, but it doesn't seem as though I am getting hardly any "smoke". Is this normal with ecigs?

Hi,
I have the Blu also and am disappointed by it's performance. I wish I had read the threads here before I purchased. If you look in the forum there is an area with sub forums which discuss different pv's. The blu is generally not well regarded. I am kicking mine to the curb as soon as my 510 arrives.
Cheers

I will check it out, thanks. I did a search on the internet before I ordered and it looked like it had good reviews. I have read here that you have to learn how to smoke it, you don't smoke it like a regular cigarette? I thought maybe I was doing something wrong. I am so confused!!

I believe that the only good reviews on the blu are on their website and afiliates. From what I have seen here it is overpriced, not a very good ecig and they have horrible customer service. The d510 and the kr808d-1 are 2 popular models you may want to look at.

Using a PV is more like smoking a cigar to me. Draw into the mouth, then inhale, much like using a straw with a thick milkshake. This seems to be the best way of going about things.

Do you directly inhale analogs?

not too familiar with the Blu but i can tell you that that you should steer clear of it based the exstensive research i did before my purchase of the totally wicked tornado which btw every vap-er should own

Yep. At least, I used to.

who the hell direct inhales anything, pretty painful experience

I have a 510 and a blu and I've come to really enjoy the blu. The main problem the blu has (in my opinion) is their cart system. But use an empty cart and drip or dip with some tasty vapes, and I think you'll change your opinion.

The 510 does have better battery life, and a hotter atomizer, but the blu wins in convenience, and flavor (cooler coil does mean less vapor, but a more full bodied taste).

Just my opinion and 2c.

Oh, and the black starter kit is constantly on backorder, and many people have had issues with that, so if you're in a hurry, or just not the patient type, get a white kit instead.

An awful lot of vapers do! It takes a little practice to get it right, but it pays off big time in TH and vapor-production. Ever wonder how those guys are getting those massive vapes in the videos? It's all about technique. This is one of the reasons that "manual batteries" are the most popular among forum members.

If you find your e-cig isn't performing as well as you would like, give this a try:

Press the switch and hold it while you draw into your mouth as usual. When your mouth is full of vape, continue pressing the switch, continue sealing the cart/carto with your lips, and slowly inhale directly into your lungs. At the first feeling of a "pinch" (like you're going to cough if you continue), let off the e-cig and inhale normally. Don't worry if you do cough, it's not at all like coughing with a lung full of cigarette smoke.

At first, you won't be able to direct-inhale very much at all, but you will notice a big difference in the amount of vapor and in the amount of nicotine you get. After a little practice, you'll be exhaling huge clouds of vapor and thinking of lowering your nicotine levels.

It may seem superficial, but psychologically, a big cloud of vapor really does wonders for a lot of people. I didn't completely quit cigarettes until I learned to direct-inhale.

Oh, and to the original poster, this may help you with the performance of your Blu.
