My comprehensive review of the Blu (Product + Company) with some comparison to the m401

[KreeL]

lol... well, anyone but Janty. That's another story for another time.

Hehehe...yeppirs! I ordered my Dura-C from VaporGuys and it got here in three days. However, I live about a hundred and fifty miles from Janty's warehouse, and it took ONE day for my 510 passthrough to get to my house when ordered from JantyUSA.

Right now, Janty is up to their eyebrows in keeping up with their Janty Stick demands and shipping.

Well, my Dura-C finally shipped today which is 8 days from my order date. Not great but not too bad.

Good luck with that. I'm having lots of growing pains with my 510 (same thing as Dura-C I believe).

WOW. The post just arrived... Surprisingly with blu! Will be doing a review soon, but want to fully assess its performance before such.

Nice comparison Enrogae.

Update: I'm somewhat surprised. I finally called about the Battery/Atomizer. The guy I talked to still wanted me to return it, but he offered to send a prepaid envelope this time. He said I should get it by the end of the week (today). Well...I never got it...but I got an email from the website saying that my new battery has been shipped.

So, basically, they seem to have forgotten about the bad atomizer but are sending me a new battery without waiting for mine to be sent in. Either that or they are just now notifying me about the FIRST battery they sent me. Time will tell, I suppose. I'll update again when I know.

Wonderful... I was tooling around online yesterday and found the Blucig site. Had never heard of an "E-Cig" or the term "Analog Cig" Shortsited and now apparently really stupid, I ordered the blucig starterkit. It looks cool and sucks you right in. Ok so now i'm probably not ever gonna see my blu or my money back so I'll ask ya'll... What do you think is a GREAT company to deal with? Because I Really want an E-Cig that will last and have good battery life. I dont want something that is gonna be faulty right out of the box. I dont want to have to run and charge the thing every couple hours either. It would be nice if I could find one with a manual switch as well. I'm not too keen on the idea of putting my E-Cig in my poket and having it puff away on itself leaving my with nothing but a dead stick. IF my blu shows up I'm goin to try it out but from what i've read on this forum the company seems to be a sham to me.

One other thing WHY are there so many ads for Blu on this website?

For the 510 go with: http://www.e-smokeytreats.com/

For the best PV's (personal vaporizer) made: go with: http://www.cavecom.com/screwdriver/ or http://www.puresmoker.com/

These are all manuals.

This is Sularus changed my Nickname with the facebook add on thing whatever.

Thanks for the info. Now that I have had a chance to look around and gather more info on the E-Cig. I have to say the Janty Stick is looking pretty tempting and I havent even had my first puff of an E-Cig.

Not happy with Blucig.com at all. I've called multiple times with no answer when I did finally get someone I asked how long it would take to recieve my order she put me on hold and after an hour of waiting I decided that I will never order from them again.

If my package ever arrives I will def use it till it falls apart considering I spent 60 bucks on the thing and after all the digging around I'm not expecting to get my money's worth out of it.

I wish the really good ones were a little more within my price range... My wife holds the purse string a little too tightly if you know what I mean... probably shouldnt say that in case she reads this lol. oh well.

I'll definatly check out all my options before I go spending anymore money tho.

Thanks again.

This is kinda random but does anyone know of a local E-Cig dealer/Suplier near Talladega Alabama? Its a long shot but doesnt hurt to ask. (Anywhere between Birmingham and Atlanta GA. Works too)

Thanks.

AMAZING!!! I got ahold of someone on the live chat thing on blu cig and he actually canceled my order for me. No questions asked.... yep email confirmation canceled. Woot Janty here I come

I've had the Blu for a little less than a week. The battery life is short but the back up does help a lot. While I puff on one, the other is charging. So I had pretty much a continuous vaping experience. However the atomizer died on me two days ago. I've done the whole cleaning regiment and still nothing. It definitely heats up but I get one good hit and then no more vapors. After careful observation I have concluded that it is the polyester that melts onto the atomizer. Also, as noted earlier, the mesh on the atomizer does seem to be melting or scraping off. I have called Blu customer service and they will be sending me another atomizer in a few days. However in the mean time I am searching for a generic atomizer for the Blu. Someone here has posted that it may be a rebranded JSBL88b from Shenzhen Jieshibao. I wonder if their atomizer will work on this. As long as we can figure out what models fit with the Blu we can order from other suppliers. Also the issue with the small carts. Couldn't we technically mod it? We could fit a larger reservoir with a larger peice of poly to make it hold more juice. Anyway once I have gotten my new atomizer I will post again. Thanks for the initial post. I've been looking for a quality review of the Blu.

I got tired of messing with the Blu company. If they ever Improve their product I may reconsider but for now I'm waitin on my Janty Stick V2 to get here.

Where was the thread? I have a replacement atomizer on it's way but it would be nice to know who else could supply spare parts.

Those look similar to a Blu.... and the prices are unbelievable!

 

[Epic621]

Nikko, The J108 is the same as blu, it is just unbranded. But as a blu owner, get a 306a kit or an M-401/402. That is just my preference. I've also heard good things about the 510's and DSE 901's.

I also have a few 510s and a few DSE 901s and I would clearly agree with the good things you've heard about them.
The battery life of the 510 isn't great but vapes like a monster....
The 901 is a good all-around balance of vapor production and battery life.
The Blu really isn't in the same league as either one
It produces a few good hits of vapor before trailing off but the throat hit doesn't compare
It still is a decent ecig and I'm not returning mine; it's just too convenient with the PCC..... also, if you use a 510 battery, it produces considerably better than with its own battery....

quite certain the blu is a L88b.......if it is 88mm that would tell you
