Hi, and welcome to ECF. I've heard good and bad about the Blu; if it works for you...that's great! Ejuice for tobacco varies a lot with folks. Buying unflavored nic and using Perique Black, Virginia, Burley, ect, will make a pretty good cigarette flavor when mixing your own.. I have found that DYI flavorshack has a great marlboro juice and so does TW. There are many suppliers of cigarette flavored ejuices. I'm sure you will
get many suggestions from our kind folks here. I think it is best to order smaller amounts such as samplers to try to find the right niche/flavor for yourself. good luck to you Ray!
Ejuice is a mix of nicotine, usually PG and/or Vg with flavorings added.

If Blu works for you, then fine. If not, and you USED to be a heavy smoker SO, I'd recommend the EGo, if you can swing it..the battery lasts anywhere from 6-10 hours.
I ALWAYS recommend a MANUAL kit, no matter what you buy, btw. Better control, better hit, better vapor.
You CAN refill the cartridges and if you're looking for a good place for e-liquids, I'd suggest going to Tasty Vapor. Geoff really CAN'T do a bad mix, IMHO, and it's pretty much the hands down favorite around here..
Looking at how much you were smoking, I'd suggest getting a liquid in the 24mg - 36mg range, to start. That should keep most of the craving away. I'd order a mix of 80% PG and 20% VG. That way, you'll have the flavor and throat hit (from the PG) and the exhaled vapor, (from the VG).
And, one thing to keep in mind, you WON'T get the exact same taste as a cigarette. You can come CLOSE, but remember that a lot of the 'taste' is actually created by something BURNING. Nothing burning in an ecig. But, not to worry, it's a LOT better than cigarettes!!
Check out the Ego and Tasty Vapor and keep it in the 24mg to 36mg range and you should be a happy camper!

I just got my ego and I also got a random brand called e-cigarette. I highly suggest the ego like dom!
I also got some VG instead of PG because it produces more vape and is a little less harsh on the tongue and mouth, but it is not proven. Just dive in and see what works for you!!!

Your search for your perfect (or close to it) flavor might take you some time - of course you could get lucky and hit it first time
There are many many flavors around that you can try, so if the first one youget isn't what you want, don't give up!
The Blu is 'ok' but most people go on to other models to be honest ; almost all the Blu users Ive seen post here got theirs BEFORE they came here and then bought something else, once they'd done some more research, not super pricey either, and prefered it. The BLu works with the popular 510 accessories though so its not all bad

If you can't find the eGo in stock, you can go with the Totally Wicked Tornado. It's the same thing under a different brand. I also recommend Johnson Creek original and Tenn Cured e-liquids. I started by trying to find e-liquids that taste like cigs, but for me e-liquids with more flavor work better. Also, you might want to look at the filler mods. In my opinion, the standard poly filler that comes with the carts doesn't work very well. I'm using the teabag mod and it works great.
ray: I was a heavy smoker and went from the Blu to the Modern Vapor 902, my wife uses the Slideshow. Lots of vapor and easy people to work with and the price are good and fast shipping.
I have been completely off cigarettes for about 6 weeks. I love the ECF and get a lot of info here. The best advice I have got is if it works for you use it. The point is to stop smoking cigarettes.
Good health and best of luck to you.

I also started off with a similar model than the Blu. I really liked it and it also worked great - but I was looking for more vapor so I bought a joye ego.
If the Blu works for you, stick to it! Good luck!

I'd reccomend a 901 if you want something in the lower price range or a janty ego if you really want something nice. For juice try StrictlyEjuice.com, Flavor Shop! they have tons of flavors at cheap prices and it's good juice. Hope this helps.
Wow, that doesn't leave much wiggle room does it.
I would suggest that as soon as your Blu arrives, that you send it back for a refund.
I was a PAD (Pack a Day) smoker and Blu was the first e-Cig a got. I'm not going to slam it because I really like it for it's small size and looks.
But as a PAD smoker it just disn't cut it for me. Not enough battery time and Constant refilling of the carts.
For you, I would strongly suggest that you skip all the half steps and go straight to a eGo. Great battery life. Can use cartridges or cartomizers. Lots of vapor and parts can be found everywhere.
I would also suggest that you start off with a nicotine strength of at least 28mg. I made the mistake of starting off with a low level of nicotine and it just didn't work for me.
If you're like most blu users who post here then you probably will want to change to something else eventually.....I think I will concur with most that just starting out you might as well jump over the regular 510 bats and go with an ego or similar...they might cost twice as much but you're getting at least twice as much and more....
most folks assume when they start that they want something that tastes like tobacco....that will probably change too......when you have the choice, why use something that tastes like a cigarette when you can use something that tastes like blueberry pie ala mode instead?.....
