In between Blu and a hard place

[deftdrummer1]

So I ordered the Blu, it took forever to come and I was mucho excited. I tried it out and blew through the 25 included started carts within 4 days. I thought...DANG I either really like these, smoked a lot before, the carts don't last long or (as it turned out to be,) all of the above.

So, the first thing I did thinking I was going with Blu for life was drop another $80 on cartridges. Of course, like many I am here disappointed with Blu's vapor production, and mostly how long the carts last. I'd say they last me two "sessions" which I would compare to the length of an analog cigarette.

So anyways, I would return the Blu without question if I hadn't ordered the 80 carts. So my question is should I attempt to smoke through the carts rapidly enough so that when I run out I can return my starter kit within the time period.

By the way, I am without a doubt going with the 510 next, although I haven't ruled out refilling my blu carts if I can find e-liquid that is cheap enough and decent quality.

How long do you have? You could always stuff the Blu filler into a 510 cart.

Never seen a Blu so..........YMMV

Oh and welcome to the forum!

I, personally, like the blu. I have tried several models of PV. I didn't care for the 510. You will drive yourself nuts and broke if you keep buying replacement carts. Refilling is no big deal, especially if you save up your empty carts and do a whole bunch at one time. Volcano e-cigs are the exact same model as the blu L88b, but he ships in two or three days.

Good juice can be found tons of places. My favorite (what I call gourmet juice) is MyFreedomSmokes, DIYFlavorShack and MsT's. For "cheap but does the job" juice check out StrictlyEjuice 30ml for $10 or Big Bear Juice - he's having a great sale right now. I just got 120ml of juice for $20

If, while you are refilling your carts, you replace the stock cart filler with either fluval or blue foam, you will be quite impressed with the difference in vapor and life of the carts. A little bit of VG in your juice up the vapor a lot too. For blu specific tips and tricks, check out Blucigforum.com.

My opinion, for what it's worth, is stick with the blu or volcano. Don't jump on the 510 bandwagon, especially if you like flavor. 510's burn the flavor out of juices - and burn your fingers occasionally too. A mojority of the people here will disagree with me, but like I said, it is my opinion.

I don't know how much you have invested in your Blu. Using it as a learning device is not a bad thing to do. You might even like it. You can try cart mods etc. My first e-cig was, well not good but I learned a lot and when I got a 510 it was a whole lot easier and I made less mistakes.

As angelique510 said, she likes hers and others here have said the same. No matter which you end up with her refilling advice is the way to go.
