Has anyone ever actually STUCK with Blu?

[Xenu2112]

Just curious...

It seems that, almost every hour on the hour, there is a new poster on the forum who has recently switched to e-cigs and started out with the Blu. This is how I got off the stinkies and started vaping, just as it was for hundreds of you, I'm sure. Inevitably, the new poster is met with suggestions to toss out their Blu and move up to en ego setup or the like...and this is good advice, as Blu is most definitely a crappy product that isn't worth the insane prices they charge for them.

My question is: has anyone ever actually stuck with it and made it their PV of choice, even after being exposed to other, better alternatives? I mean, it has to have happened to people who simply didn't know what else was out there, but has anyone ever heard testimonials or even tried another setup, only to decide to keep riding the Blu train?

No shame if so...whatever keeps one off the analogs, more power to them. Just wondering if this has ever happened. I did some cursory poking around on the subject, but couldn't come up with anything concrete. Anybody? Buehler? Buehler?

I never tried a Blu, but I remember a member who had something like "I vape a Blu, get in line to hate me" in his signature line. In private conversation he told me he had other PVs, but still liked and used the Blu. I am not sure if it was his first choice, but it was at least in the rotation.

My friend at work uses blu. I've showed her all my mods and stuff, she's not interested at all.

I used Green Smoke for 6 months. I liked it at the time, but I've tried using it since buying a mod and I don't get the same satisfaction I used to when I first switched. Doesn't bother me though, because I like the juices I'm vaping now, which I feel is more important.

not blu but vs.
got 3 batts and refilling the cartimizers.
i've got the bigger stuff but v2's are really good in public.
very discrete when needed.
i sort of developed a technique so i get a really beefy hit with them.

When I fly, I carry a Blu in my carry-on. TSA confiscates anything else. I also use them for back-up when working on location.

Not true. We just went to Birmingham and put my ego and tanks and my hubby's MVP and iclear in the scanner and we got them thru no issues!

 

[peterforpats]

not blu but greensmoke-still keep some around- my wife uses them at work and I grab one for a quick trip to the post office or grocery store. still enjoy their menthol ice every now and then......

I know several vapers at work who are perfectly content with cig-a-likes and pre-filled cartridges. I'll occasionally show them my latest gadget and while they ooh and ahh appropriately I can see their eyes begin to glaze over. When they start to check their watch I know the conversation is over.

And you know what? There's nothing wrong with that...

 

[bnrkwest]

I like disposables for grab and go sometimes when I don't have time to get my others ready to take along. I have one blu, a finn and several Flings. They all work in a pinch and I actually like the batt life of the blu and feel of it but the flavor sucks! I actually added some of my own menthol to it since I didn't hardly taste any menthol in it, tasted like tobacco to me. bnrk

 

[vjc0628]

my wife and I started with cigalike with the intention of using as a quitting device
It worked well too (got down to 6mg) Until I got a bad case of vapor tongue and did not know anything about it
I ended up freaking out trying to find something that worked after getting some ego's it was all over for me
she still uses the cigalike's and I understand
for her she does not want to catch what I got a love for vaping
new liquids new mod's new tank and such
She does not want to like it that much

 

[belsenj]

I had 1, which got me into e-cigs, and I bought a Logic rechargeable, then a Fin rechargeable (loved it!) So...no, I guess I
didn't stick with it. But it started me on my way to stop smoking after 38 years.

I don't have a blu, but I was considering getting one. Instead I went with a volt after everyone spoke so badly about battery life.

I really have no interest in getting anything bigger. I like having my tiny little setup. It's easy to carry around in a small wrist bag with charger, extra juice and cartos, extra batteries, and all. I even have a mini tank I can use.

It's not giant and bulky, it delivers, and I can still vape all I want. It also blends in while I'm in public. I have no desire to carry around a multicolored machine the size of a pipe of any significant diameter.

I've considered getting a spinner, which will of course make it about the size of an ego, but I'm still hemming and hawing on it. It's really just not my thing.

When I'm out and about I still carry my Blu...with new 510 refillable cartos and some good juice....
I'm still in an area that gives any device other than a cig-alike....the "hairy eye ball" treatment!!!
There's just enough paranoia in me to "remain discreet" with my vaping....
Now, at home.....that's a different story!!
Blu stays in a drawer..or in my car...
Still and all.....I have to credit Blu for getting me into the vaping world...and it's done that for many!!
But it now must play second fiddle to Ego-C Twists and clearos......

Not blu, I started with V2 cigalikes, and they're still in my arsenal. Always carry one when out and about, mostly so anyone interested can try a puff or two. I also carry an eGo-C for myself. Nothing wrong with cigalikes; there's a place for everything when it comes to vaping.

I used blu for 2 weeks before I upgraded to an Ego. It wasn't horrible...because I hadn't experienced anything else. The main issue for me was the 2 hour battery life. I was a slave to a power outlet and constantly rotating batteries.

Blu's are what got me off of smoking after many years. Always will have a special place in my heart. If they had longer battery life I might still be on them. Tasted good, certainly did the trick. I keep some Blu cartos around, and have bought refills when in a pinch. If you like them, Blu's and other cig-a-likes are just fine. Whatever works for you.

I like the flavor of the Blu disposable. My corner mart recently changed ownership and the new owner didn't want to continue carrying Blu products. So he put them on a half off rack behind the counter. I bought six disposables for $4 each and still have four in my backup box.

Blu's flavor also led me to Johnson Creek, which is quickly becoming my go-to liquid manufacturer. I appreciate their consistency, quality and great flavor.

I had a 30ml bottle of Red Oak Domestic arrive on the same day as my first 30ml bottle of Boba's Bounty. I have about 10ml left of the Domestic and have barely used 10ml of the Boba's.

When I fly, I carry a Blu in my carry-on. TSA confiscates anything else. I also use them for back-up when working on location.

I went through TSA 2 times last weekend with:
5 evod tanks
1 Vamo
1 K100
1 X6
1 Tatroe tank
2 bottles of juice
And 6 or 7 18650's and 18350's all in my carry on bag. They never batted an eye at any of that. They did however have a problem with an all metal ink pen I had. (They let me keep it, but suggested a plastic one next time.
