blucig Questions from a Newbie

[Kgrin]

You would definitely be better off buying some juice, then you can save the carts for if you decide to return it, I own a blu, 510, and a ego and love them all and I give allot of credit to the blu for getting me off the analogs, I received my blu in less then a week and besides the short battery life haven't had any issues, I use the PTB mod with it if I am not dipping, but dipping really does great with the blu..

Emailed them the other day about the status of my package. Finally got a reply today:

" Your order is still processing due to the backorder on black full-flavored kits.We do not have an exact ETA. However, when your order ships, we will email a confirmation and tracking number. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

For faster assistance, please feel free to contact us via phone, toll free, at 1-888-207-4588 or contact us via live chat by clicking here. All of our help desk operators are available 24/7 to assist you. This avoids the delay of waiting for return emails and allows us to resolve your issue immediately. "


I emailed them back saying it was understandable and asking if I could possibly switch my order to a white kit (since it hasn't even been processed yet) without having to cancel and re-order. Do you guys think they'll let me?

EDIT: I'm in their live customer service chat to ask this to someone directly. Waiting.. "All operators are currently assisting others. Thanks for your patience. An operator will be with you shortly." I highly doubt that.

You dont want the blucig

Heh. The longer this thread gets the more I'm realizing that. But I figured I'd at least give them a chance. If they can't switch my order, I'm just cancelling it. I'm finally in a chat with a service rep right now.

EDIT: Yeah, I think I'm chatting with the world's slowest typist at the moment.

EDIT2: Yup. Just had her cancel my order for me. I never even recieved my product and I can already say I'm not a fan of blucig.

I guess the new topic of discussion, since I don't wanna make a new thread while I already have one up, is what SHOULD I buy? The blucig was attractive to me because it was only $60 and it come with the 25 free cartridges. Most kits I see only come with 5 cartridges. Is there anywhere I can get a 510 kit and some ejuice for as much as blucig? Anywhere up to $80 at most would be nice.

 

[JC Okie]

Go to www.tastyvapor.us . They have a 510 kit for $25.00 and you can buy all the juice you want....good juice. It's a pretty good deal.
Or...go to www.citnot.com and get a 510 no box kit for $35.00. Either way it's cheaper and better.

 

[CaptainCannibal]

Damn, JC. Thanks brah. I wish I would've caught that before I ordered from another place, but I'll save that for future use.

I ended up ordering a Joye 510 kit from eSmokersOnline along with some juices, extra prefilled carts, and a handy drip tip Should be here by Tuesday at the latest.

I like how it was faster for me to cancel my blucig order and just order more from somewhere else for just about the same price and have it arrive about ten years earlier than my blu would've.


(Side note, has anyone tried the "DJarumm Black" liquid from eSmokersOnline? Ordered 30ml total of it because I used to love blacks.)

Yeah Blu cig is what lead me here and quiting analogs but it really does suck compared to everything else out there. The carts have so little juice in them its ridiculous. The batteries are always acting up like saying they are out of power when they really aren't Ohh and you know that the reason your order was delayed was because the Classic Tobacco Flavor in black full strength they haven't had in over a month and just because of that one flavor your whole order was put on back order. I did some digging when the same thing happened to me some time ago. Everything takes at least a week to get to you.

They are not as bad if you refill the carts with juice and the batteries don't do stupid things. How small and portable they are really are amazing and because of the low voltage you can stealth vape like anywhere (the lack of big clouds of vapor) The PCC is really the best out there bar none and it really is a very sexy looking PV. TBH if i had saw the 510 and the Egos first i probably would have not gave it a shot but the blu got me hooked in so I thank blu for that. I'm getting my Ego tomorrow but I'm keeping my Blu, I'll refill my carts with my own juice get 4 extra atomizers so i can set up 5 carts for my PCC with the extra battery and the charging from the PCC it's great for going to, during and going home from work.

Thats what I figured. I notice Classic Tobacco and Vanilla were out when I was ordering it, so I figured, "Oh, they'll send me other flavors or something. Whatever, thats cool." They could have at least said "HEY, WE'RE NOT SENDING ANYTHING UNTIL THESE COME." but oh well. Its done with now.

And yes! I was thinking about that earlier! The one thing blu would be PERFECT for would be stealth vaping. You could probably completely ghost a hit off of it if you held it in for a few seconds.

 

[Cloudy Dave]

I do service work in peoples homes (repair appliances) and I take vapes in between my work the customers never notice. I can hide the entire thing in my hand and like you said i just hold it in and there is no vapor at all when i exhale. I love it I feel like i got away with murder lol.

 

[StarsAndBars]

You will be hard pressed to find anyone saying good things about the Blu. The few who do are likely just doing so to be novel, or they don't know any better. I can get away with saying this because I myself owned one. They are crap.

Stealth vaping with a 510 is cake... just palm it so no one sees the LED. People think you're just sucking or chewing on a pen; I do it all the time. Really, you'll be sooooo much happier with a 510. Get a PCC when you can, and you're good all day away from a power source.

Everyone has their own opinions, I think when it comes to PVs Different types are for different things. Some people have one PV and it is their end all be all but others seems to have a few of each kind and used different ones for different situations. To say it is crap rather than just say that is how you feel sounds like you are just jaded and not having any objectivity at all. Lots of people got introduced to vaping because of Blu and if it serves no purpose other than that I think it's a great product because to be honest we need more people joining our community. I'll go as far as saying that I don't even think it's a great PV but it serves a good purpose. I think if you play around with it and are creative it really does fit a niche for some people in their everyday vaping repertoire.

To bash a product that many new users have brought or still waiting for ( you know the kind that are in the newbie forum like this one) is not productive. There are pros and cons for this product, even if you believe there are more cons this product isn't broken it works it just can't give half PAD or higher what they really need most of the time.

Even if your using a liquid with Vg in it? I don't know I mean the vapor with a 510 can be quite substantial. I guess it wouldn't be impossible if you took short tokes.

I agree with this sentiment. I own a 510 and all that but I bought a Volcano for the hell of it. I thought it was the biggest p.o.s. ever when I got it but I kept working it for a few days until the atty broke in and now I get clouds of vapor and good throat hit from it. I went from hating it to enjoying it. I went back and bought their Magma parts and enjoy them much more than my standard 510 attys and whatnot.

Is everybody who criticizes Blu wrong? No, not necessarily. But had I listened to popular opinion I would have missed out on alot of great stuff in life. If the OP gets the Blu and likes the concept if not the brand, he's more likely to stick with vaping. Sometimes we have to take the hit and learn a life lesson. The OP did the right thing by coming here, he's not flying blind and knows he has options if he doesn't like it. He's obviously interested enough in vaping to come here and ask about it in the 1st place so I give him credit. I don't want anybody to be turned off to vaping by being made to feel like they wasted money or made to feel silly.

Holding your breath works wonders, even with non-mixed VG. 10 seconds reduced a plume that made it impossible to read the monitor to a level that looks like you just drank hot coffee and exhaled(I just tested it).

Nice! I love stealth vaping I'm finding new places to do it hehehehe *evil laugh*

You ghosted pure VG? And it actually worked?

I ordered some VG mixed juices so I will definitely have to try this.

Oh, ghosting = holding a hit in until you can't see it once you exhale. I don't know if thats a widely used term, figured I should define it


By the way guys, I think I may do video reviews for the 510 kit and the juices I bought once I recieve them and get used to them a little more. Most reviews I see are from experienced vapers, I figured it wouldn't hurt to be the guy blindly reviewing a product which he has nothing to compare it to. I'll probably mostly just do a quick review and demo and then (for the 510) talk about the switch from analogs to ecigs. Because honestly, my last analog was the same day I placed my order for my blu. So it was a pretty sudden decision.

 

[tryn2learn]

I have a kr808 and and xhale 02 from 7-11 the one from 7 11 dripps great although i have nothing to compare it to as it is my back up but for 20 bucks how can you go wrong lol

Review it base it on what you think. Does it produce a nice vapor for you, Throat hit, How it feels (physically) ease of use, things of that nature. Your not exactly blind you have analogs to compare it to
You got the regular 510 kit or an Ego?

Where did you say you ordered yours at?
