I'm sure similar questions have been asked in the past and I'm sorry if this info is out there.
I have been smoking blu cigs for approximately 10 months now. I'm getting tired of dealing with battery pack problems.
The main features that I like about blu are:
- PG free liquid
- ease of use (ie. pack charges extra battery while using the other)
- not particularly interested in refilling cartridges
Does anyone have any suggestions for similar features available in another product?
Thanks for the help

This is an example of an Ego 510 kit from a store that's about an hour away from me.

There are also other kits you can get unless you prefer a more analog-like experience.

Of course with that kit I think you have to get a charging case as a separate purchase. Also, don't try to use your BLU cig charger for them. It will mess them up from what I hear.

:)

I believe the BLU cartridges will even fit that kit, though ultimately refilling is the best way to go and offers a wider variety of flavors.

After becoming dissatisfied with BLU, I moved on to the Johnson Creek VEA. It is a world of difference from BLU. The batteries are fantastic. Mine still hold a full charge, 18 months later. It is a quality device. If only they made a tank...I have since moved on, but the VEA is still a backup for me and great for traveling. They also make the juice for BLU, so you will more than likely like their cartos. I used the BLU Premium 100 cartos on the VEA also.

You're narrowing down the list due to some features that a lot of posters may recommend you reconsider!
If you're only interested in pre-filled cartridges especially...though you could put them on a larger battery that you charge yourself.
The only one that comes to mind that's really SIMILAR would be the kits from Halo - they have a "PCC" that charges a battery while you use the other one. They have GOOD juice, and prefilled cartridges. Unfortunately, they aren't all VG. Is that an allergy or a preference?
They offer a Cig-shaped G6, or an EGO size, the Triton, where you buy juice and fill a little tank...

Or you can peice together a system. I did.
I bought "Joyetech 510 Mega batteries" - they are and last longer than a blue
I bought a charger, and also bought a "PCC" to carry/charge a backup battery
Then you can buy prefilled cartomizers anywhere - as long as they are 510 size, they'll work.

Good luck!

Something like this probably fits.

v4L has some good flavors to choose from so I think the variety should be important in looking for a simple set-up where you don't want to mess with juices. FWIW I thought the same thing when I first started about juices and refilling stuff, but it's easier than I thought. gllllllll

I started with Blu, and had a decent experience, but I take my eGo 650mah battery off the charger in the AM, vape all day, and it will usually quit around 7 or 8 pm. No charging, no charging pack, it just goes all day.
Will work with Blu cartos, you should see how much better they work with it too!

Doesn't look like an analog, but I let it go.

I do pretty much the same thing. I take the eGo when I leave the house and have a vamo for when I'm at home and want to really enjoy my vape :)

Great info guys thanks. I'm gonna have to research this all!
Yikes, you know I just got the blu cig disposable as a little gift from someone and just moved on to the pack after without much research. Given then a ton of $$ - haha.
I smoked regular cigs for 14 years prior to my starting with blu and have not had a tobacco cigarette since... its really been a life changer. I do love the look of it and its easy to bring out socializing. Is the PG free thing all that important? Would prefer the healthiest option.
Thanks again

You might want to start at 50/50 PG/VG and work up if desired or down if needed. Some people react (as I do) to PG ...others have problems with VG -- PG issues seem more common though and more severe. Generally they aren't serious but they are very unpleasant and can be serious. Everyone reacts differently. Organic is best for health -- some places claim no PG but the flavorings have it. There is a list of 100% VG distributors on the forum (I'll dig up the link)... EC Blends is a company recommended to me (I haven't tried -- they are backlogged 4-5 days it looks) that will blend as desired. Good luck!

Ok, here ya go: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/for...-made-usa.html

Another good but short info page on PG/VG ratio:
http://www.ecblendflavors.com/throat-hit-vapor-and-consistancy/

There is plenty of info in the forum too.
