Everday I try to conceal my eroll but I always get " is that a blu e cig?" Kinda irritating cause I have to talk for like 5 mins on how this nothing is nothing like the blu. I have the black one now for 6 months and love it but im gonna buy the white one so I dont have to have this conversation every time I take a smoke break
Eroll gets mistaked for blu daily

Same thing happens to me with my silver eRoll. I think it's just because Blu has been advertising so much that it's really the only type of ecig most people have heard of. They see a blue light and assume it's "Blu".
Yeah, people ask me if it's an e-cig and I always respond "yeah, it's not a disposable though." I get defensive. Weird. It's led to some decent conversations about how disposables are great to see what vaping is like, but I tell them to go to my local place (which doesn't even sell eRolls) if they like the disposables. I really wish my local place (Freedom Smoke USA) would just sell the eRoll. I would have referred a dozen people for that specific product at this point.
Not surprising with the new blu commercial with Stephen Dorff playing all over now
I can't recall what the LED choices were but I wish I had gotten something other than blue. Of course, colored tanks! would help solve the Blu lookalike problem.
I don't think there are LED choices, blue is the only thing I've ever seen. While I'd rather not have an LED at all (charging indicators are great, but a vaping indicator that you can't even see as the user is kind of pointless), I don't think the "look alike" issue needs to be solved by Joyetech. The eRoll is just a better product, and they should be pushing to get it into more shops, do some advertising, educate folks about an awesome product.
Yeh, I must have mixed up my 510 ordering experience with the eroll one. Some of these battery LEDs are brighter than others too which causes a problem in my white PCC. Unlike my black PCC, when the green light comes on, its really hard to tell if the blue light is on or not especially if its one of the weaker LEDs. I invariably have to open the PCC and reinsert the battery I'm charging to see if I'm just seeing bleed-through green from the PCC light. Like I said, the black one doesn't have that problem as the light doesn't shine through the black plastic. I'm only going to buy black PCCs from now on.
I haven't had that problem with my white PCC, but I also prefer the black PCC for similar reasons. The shine through on the white PCC makes it look cheap. When you open the lid and can see the shine through of the red or blue light, it immediately draws attention to the fact that you're looking at a thin piece of plastic.
I think there must be a bit of a flaw in my white one or they're just made differently. I have them both plugged in and red. On the black with the lid open I have to really look hard to see a pin ..... size red dot on the light side of the battery slot by the connection area. On the white one, that same spot is big.. I mean big, intensity and size of a tiny keychain flash light.. and the red light shines all the way to the outside wall of the battery connection area on the floor of the PCC.so under the slot. Maybe the battery slot walls weren't machine down toward the battery connection far enough letting too much light shine through? I would have to find something to measure the gaps. But, if I put it in the dark with no battery in the slot, where the blue LED light would be shines a dull red or green. The black one, same situation, shows no light at all there in the dark. Anyway, when charging a battery, the PCC lights dull the blue so much I can't tell if its charged. Its especially hard to tell out in the daylight like when in the car. And, yeh, I don't like the light shining through the white plastic either.
