My Blu arrived a week ago and...

[fro0tlo0p]

... I could not be more disappointed. Unless you have a fully charged battery and a fresh cartridge, you get little to no vapor. Oh it starts off strong all right with good vapor and throat feel. But after a few puffs I have to suck on it like a demon-possessed vacuum cleaner just to get a few wisps of vapor and a small twinge in my throat! The charger is flaky (it comes on it goes out it comes on it goes out) and is malfunctioning. I would rather be ripped off in the malls by overpriced e-cigs that work than to have saved money by buying Blu. Hell, I'd rather go back to ANALOG cigarettes than to have thrown my money away on Blu.

And to think I waited over a month.

But, I am not going to ask for a refund. One, if it took over a month to get it to me, I can't forsee a refund coming before my Social Security check does (I'm 37). Two, I am keeping it for the sheer pleasure of SHOWING people why I hate my Blu so much when they ask me about it.

Order a 510 atty and some 510 carts. At least you'll be able to use the Blu's batteries and chargers. You'll be back in business then and vaping away.

Or, order a couple of 510 batteries and a charger, that way you can use the Blu attys and cartridges!

i've had a good experience with my blu so far (aside from the 3 week wait. i can't imagine switching back to analog, but i've only had my starter kit for a day and a half. i've seen on this forum that they are generally frowned upon, and maybe it's because i haven't tried the competition, but i can't see the problem people have. they are ultra small, which i suppose means the batteries don't last as long as on larger models, but the charge on the pack lasts forever, and you start with two batteries. once i got used to the inhalation technique, i've had fairly consistent (but not 100%) success. can anyone tell me (without straight bashing blu) specific areas in which other products trump blu?

You're doing it wrong.

The Blu has the easiest draw of any PV I have owned.

It takes only a light primer puff, then a slow, long, and LIGHT draw to extract a LOT of vapor. On my 510 the draw is a little tougher, on my Dragon it is a little tougher yet... the Blu is almost like sucking on an empty straw, and you do have to adjust to that.

I get a lot of vapor all the way down to when my battery dies, not inconsistent at all.

Excatly, that is what I had to learn is slow, long and light draw, took me awhile to realize this..it has an automatic shut off when drawing to hard and too much, put it down and go back to it and start the slow drawing and you will be much happier...I have learned to love my blu..
