- What is the thing attracting you all to Blu the most?
The price? The PCC? Simply the website?
Open opinions.

(not knocking blu at all, they have a good medium offer to me) Just asking.


The size and the PCC attracted me to it. Plus my friend had Blu's and I liked it when I tried it. However, I did not research heavily on these forums before purchasing. I am interested in trying the Joye 510, but the PCC doesn't seem as useful to me.

After reading these forums I think I am going to try M801 cartridges and atomizers on my Blu to see if it works any better. I just ordered some johnsoncreek juice, most people seem to either love or hate them. It will be my first time manually refilling carts so we'll see.
 
well i orderd my blu starter kit on friday last week and according to them they shipped it out on wednesday (i got the email on tuesday around midnight. lol) but the USPS website still says its just recived the info and to expect to the package for pickup.

is this normal? i have contacted blu customer service and they say that it was shipped out on wednesday and dont know why the tracking isnt being updated. well thanks for your input everyone.

Very normal. USPS "tracking" isn't really tracking, it's just delivery confirmation. The "Received Info" appears when the shipping label is generated by the sender, and then the info is updated typically in the evenings with the latest scan data, but packages frequently aren't even scanned between pickup and delivery-- it depends on how the handlers along the way decide to do things. More than once I've gotten USPS packages where the tracking info still says "Received Info" until the day after the package arrives, and then it finally updates to "Delivered."

Of course, it could also mean that blu generated the shipping label and still hasn't actually shipped the package yet. (I had a "Received Info" tracking number from InnoVapor once that didn't ship for over a month. 8-o) Given that it's just Friday now, though, I think you can give blu the benefit of the doubt.

So I take it blu still sucks then? lol Yall should switch over to Volcano. Same model, better customer service. Faster shipping. Volcano has a pass-through and a new flavor Coconut. Shows how much better Volcano is.

They also have another two flavors, coming out with a new model soon, sell blank carts, putting new, better stock filter in their carts... not to mention approves, and encourages using alternate juice. They have a partnership with Eliquidplanet now for discounts on juice.

For me, it was the price and the PCC. I did a few days worth of general internet research on e-cigs when I found out about them, and given I'd never tried them before, wanted to try a cheaper brand that came with everything I needed to give it a shot. The Blu kit comes with a full carton of carts (almost a carton of cigarettes' worth of smoking, if you believe their claims of 5-7 cigarettes equivalency per cart). If I find I don't like vaping at all, I won't be out much, since the kit was about the same cost as a carton of my usual cigarettes.

Plus, the PCC added value above and beyond other e-cig starter kits at the same price range, as did the large amount of pre-filled carts (most kits came with like 5 carts and no PCC).

From the research I did, I'm aware the Blu isn't exactly a top-end PV, but certainly not the worst out there either. I figured the value of the starter kit would give me a good introduction to vaping. If I end up not liking it, I haven't lost much money, and if I DO end up liking it, I can look into some of the more expensive, higher-rated models, like one of the 510's.

I am currently waiting on the delivery of my Blu kit, but am very anxious to give vaping a shot.
