What is Vancouver down from?!
You might want to read the boards a bit on Blu. There are MUCH better options to be had.
You might want to read the boards a bit on Blu. There are MUCH better options to be had.
Rule of Thumb: the more it looks like the real thing, the worse the performance and reliabilty.
First and most important, you should stick with the manual switch PV's (personal vaporizers) only. Devices like the Blu, that are small auto switch devices (meaning they activate the battery by inhaling), have many significant issues. Their batteries are just too small to provide consistent performance; you have to take a primery puff to activate the battery and then take a quick second puff to inhale; after the first puff or two the battery has already diminished so much that you don't get much feel of the vapor (throat hit); the batteries only last about an hour before needing recharged; the batteries will eventually get liquid in the battery compartment, which will kill the swtich and thus the battery; the replacement batteries cost anywhere from $12 - $20; these batteries have an auto-cut-off that stops battery power after a few seconds meaning you get no vaper if you inhale too long.
Now with the manual batteries, YOU control how much you heat the atomizer and how warm the vapor is making it closer to the real thing in feel. There is no auto cut-off of the battery. Manual batteries are sealed so NO liquid can get into the battery compartment to kill the battery. The end result is the manual switch (small button) batteries provide better performance and more reliability.
The smaller manual PV's such as the Joye 510 and the MANUAL (not the auto version) DSE901 range in price from about $45 - $65 for a starter kit. Then if you want to really get ahead of the game, you will consider the premiere PV's with batteries that last 5-8 hours on one charge and although they cost more initially, the batteries only cost $2, so they pay for themselves over time. Plus you can not get better throat hit, reliability or performance than what these PV's provide. Here are links to both types from reputable suppliers:

Hi eazzy, and welcome to the forum.........
If you look at the "sticky'd" posts here on the Canadian Members sub-forum you will find current Canadian vendors with links within their signatures to their websites for more information.
You can also try viewing the "Reviews" section in the main forum for more information as you research what device may interest you and their histories of use.
I agree with wv2win on the manual batteries (and thank you mv2win for your participation/recommendations/and assistance in the threat), I would however suggest using a Canadian vendor with a good customer service history to avoid brokerage and expensive shipping fee's (especially should you require warranty replacements).
I would suggest Jack at Happy Vapor for a 510 device, and Tim at VapesMart for nic-juices. Both are VERY helpful and reliable should you have inquiries or issues.
Once you find that this means of an alternative is RIGHT FOR YOU (and I know you will), you can then start experimenting with DIY juice making to suit your particular needs or wants (again, supplies readily available from those mentioned suppliers).
By then, you will become more accustomed to the PV and may want to try a different more satisfying device personally specific to your analog replacement (such as one of the extensive mods mentioned by wn2win that are becoming quite popular).
If you spend the time to really research the information out there on ECF before jumping on the PV wagon, you stand a better chance at being more satisfied with your decision (just like any other purchase you make in life).
And just to note...... The "perfect" device for one person may differ greatly to another person. Its all about personal choice and satisfaction.
Good luck in your searching and may you make an informed satisfied decision.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo more BC e-ciggers! I get my stuff from ruyandirect, have had zero issues. Also dealing with jack @ happy vapor and Rhonda @ Quitstix. I run the 510, IF I upgrade it will be to Imeo's GGT~
get a 510 dude. way better than the dse's. and very unlikely u will find these in stores as they are not sactioned by the FDA or heath canada.
eazzy the 510 with a pcc is the way to go for a new e-cig user , the dse-801 is a good model but prone to leaking atomziers which in turn leak into the batteries thus eventually killing them , the 510 comes in matte black and is nice and small the 801 is not small it is like a large pen .
I would also really suggest the kit and kaboodle kit from happy vapor has all you need including a usb passthru , which will power your ecig while you are at a computer .
Canadian E-cigarette Happy 510 'Kit & Kaboodle' Starter Kit
and if you need nicotine liquid go here : Vapes Mart - Canada's #1 Supplier of Personal Vaporizers and Accessories
you will not find any e-cigs in stores in or around Vancouver I have never seen any myself as I'am also from the lower mainland .

Hey, Greg, I never even noticed that this was the Canadian Members subforum. Hope I didn't step on any toes - definitely wasn't intended.
yup, thats the 510. Blu is crap. Don't believe the hype. I am a fan of happy vaper and ruyandirect. dunno anything bout rocky mountain.
No probs wv3win..... you know us Canadians, we're just a happy/friendly lot and open to all, lol.
eassy, just remember to keep in mind, the shipping, delay, customs, brokerage fee's and taxes that you may end up paying. But most importantly, the customer service and the need to return any defective part to the supplier for warranty. Sometimes, cheaper isn't always the cheapest.
