Hi All, I received my first e-cig (Blu) about two weeks ago. I'm excited that ecigs will probably result in quitting smoking but have had some frustrations that keep me on the tobacco. Newly charged battery and brand new cartridge - life is good for maybe three or four hits. From then on it sucks. I lose the hit in the back of the throat and the flavor. If I let it sit for two or three minutes, I get one good hit, then it's set it down and wait - any suggestions??? Is this normal? Thanks.Need Advice

I have one sitting on the shelf in the next room, for when I don't need as much. It didn't make it for me either. Dripping on the bridge helped, some, but its just a lightweight.
your question 'is it normal?'... it's normal for a Blu kit to be trash yes.
do some research on the KR808D-1 2-piece, and 510 3-piece, then make a decision on getting a new kit, they don't cost a lot from the right places, you'll be much happier trust me.

Don't give up until you give another model a try. KR808D, 510, 901 Never owned a BLU but from what I have heard about them it"s been 90% negative. Good luck to you in your search.
Thanks guys, I was afraid of that. I have noticed alot of posts regarding the 510's and thought that would be a better choice. It seems that they (blu) claims the cartridge is approximately = to 6 cigs, I'm thinking closer to one. I'll research the 510's then.
And if you do not believe the above posters..LOL...Buy a "disposable 510" for 10.00.
They evidently last a good amount of time. Try the search function, if interested. It is located on the very bottom left of this page.

I have also heard the blu cigs stink in terms of quality. Try the DSE series like a 901, 801 or 510. It all depends on what your smoking style is.
I looked at the 510's a little today, just trying to figure out the difference between all the products, I think that's why I chose blu as a beginner, it seemed easier to figure out for a novice. I have a new atomizer coming, if the cigs still smoke the same, I'm returning it - I received a new battery tonight and there is no difference. I'll probably be back for help with the 510 but hopefully just learning how it works - thanks to all for you help
Why don't you just get a KR808D-1 if you want something simple ? you just screw the cart onto the battery and vape it.....
And i don't know why people always make out that a 510 is always a lot cheaper, you can get a KR808D-1 starter kit for 36 bux at vaporkings.com with a 10% discount code.
I think what you described about the inconsistent throat hit and the problems you have are very common. I experience this quite often. The ecig will be producing good and then all of a sudden it stops working as good. If I let it sit a while it will work again. This is what's so aggravating to me about vaping. For a while I am getting good throat hit and plenty of vapor and then all of a sudden it stops. I know most people tell me its the atomizer or its the battery or I need to add more eliquid but I have done all of these things and it still happens. I have all knids of ecigs, different batteries and atomizers from an Nipro, 510 to a Litte Chuck. I have the same problems with them at different times. I can't hardly believe that everybody's ecig produces 100% of the time. I been vaping for 8 1/2 months now so I know all the in and outs. I know what to try when it is not producing good. I still have the same problems over and over again. If it wasn't for the health benefits I would go back to analogs.
I don't mean to discourage anybody but I am tellilng it like it is. My health has improved 100%. I can actually breathe and have completely stopped coughing. So I continue to vape.

ive heard good things about the 801 i would say go for it after a while with the money you save from analogs you can pick up 510s and 901s to try or other models .really al these reviews are peoples personal preference so it may just be finding what works best for you through trial and error
Thanks - that's exactly what I'm experiencing and keeping me from quitting the analogs. I was hoping the 510 would be better but doesn't really sound like it - thank you for being truthful!
I happen to know a lady whos is selling the blus...Stay away from them...I have listened to her sales pitch and all the while I had a 510...I tried it for 2 days between the 510 and the blu....hands down the 510 bluew this thing away....I can't believe they are selling these things...Just my opinion.

It wasn't a matter of simple per say. It was more a matter of finding something I thought I could figure out how to use as a newbie, and calculate the future costs. All the info available can be overwhelming especially if you've never worked one. If I can find one that gives me a good throat hit after a few drags, and doesn't need a replacement cartridge after a few drags I'm sold. I'll check out the KR808D - thanks
