Disappointed with Blu E-Cigs

[ilovehugehits]

I use the Blu Premium 100 kit at work.
It's way better than the store bought kit.
Battery life compares to a 510, like the Volcano Magma.
The PCC holds a charge for around 8 battery cycles.
The cartridges are larger and hold more juice.
I've had it for about 6 months, without any hardware issues.

I use a Johnson Creek Vea at home.
It's a bit bigger than a typical Ego.
It's a great system & JC juice is deliciious.
The size and portability of the Blu.
Make it more practical in social situations.
I'm buying an E Hookah next.
I found one that's fairly priced and refillable.
Imagine vaping that at work!

Yeah, I started with Blu. Had the same experiences everyone else here had. Poor batteries/batteries that stay on. Expensive cartos that cost WAY too much. Led me to getting a JC Vea. Ok, much better than blue, and I could charge and vape at the same time. Had a problem with the cartos leaking after a couple of refills, so those got expensive. Like their juice, but again...expensive. Customer service is top notch, though.

After more research, ended up with a couple of eGo C Twist VV batteries and Vivi Nova tanks. Work well, but some new juices that I wanted to try destroyed the polycarb tanks (there is a list on these forum boards about juices to avoid for polycarb tanks). JC juice works with the tanks, and I am going to try some DIY juice now. Much cheaper, control the vape with VG liquids, and...hey! A nice new hobby as opposed to just driving to 7-11 to get another pack of cigs. I don't care if I look like I am holding a baseball bat when I vape, so having the small batteries aren't worth it to me.

Keep lurking around the forums and see what others are using. Invest decent money in equipment, then look at different juices. Unlike brewing your own beer, you can make this a fun and somewhat cheaper hobby than simply buying pre-made stuff.

Vape on!

Hey, ilovehugehits, I am in the same position. I just got the Blu Premium 100 kit and I am not having any issues to date. I find it more than adequate when I am not at home. I will also be getting the Vea kit for home use when it is in stock again.

What are you currently using for blank cartomizers for the Blu Premium 100. I have searched through this site and it is getting confusing when people don't clarify between the Standard, Premium, and Premium 100 set ups. I think that I should be getting a Boge 510 with a 3.0 ohm, but I am not positive. Additionally, I know that the Premium 100 holds more juice than the other styles, but is that because it's the 510 or what?

Any Premium 100 users that can help here would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I wanted to just reply to the specific threads in regards to this, but since I'm a newbie I couldn't.

Sorry for the bump, but 1) I need an answer and 2) This is my fifth post and I can now post this in the proper thread. Hopefully. Sorry.

Your putting a 3.0 ohm Boge on a Blu stick battery, be ready for disappointment. Well, a brief few moments of full power off the charger will give you a few good hits but then, sadly, your stick will drain....

Just invest in a solid stick set up, V2 and if you try any of the juice I highly recommend the coffee, seriously it's my favorite flavor in the prefilled.

So are you saying that I should go with the 2.0 ohm instead? Keep in mind that this is the Premium 100 with the larger battery. More info would be nice or at least a suggestion for a blank cartomizer that would be compatible with this model, please. Thank you in advance.

If it's a stick battery it's too underpowered, no matter what brand. I use 1.8 or 2.0 single coil only on sticks.

Cool, thanks.

Vw2win I was just going to recommend the same thing! PBusardo's website tasteyourjuice.com has lots of info for newbies and advanced vapers. Great site with a recommended devices area. I went from Blu to an EgoC 1000mah pass through to a Vamo. I still use the Ego but the Vamo is Awesome! Don't get discouraged, there are many low cost options. Good luck!
