So, I saw this site before I ordered Blu, but didn't realize how much of it there was. It was one of the last ones I looked at and was wary because every other one seemed to be companies posing as users to advertise their product. When I saw the registration requirement I balked at this place and just ordered the dang things to see for myself.
I looked at a few other brands and decided this one would be simple and effective. The battery pack sealed the deal, plus I first saw them advertised at one of my favorite sites (starts with iso and ends with hunt lol).
So far, this thing is pretty damn badass. My first reaction was that they look slick and kind of sci-fi which is awesome. After the initial frustration, the learning curve plateaued and I started getting consistent vapor and buzz. I had to come up with ways to make it work better like removing the foil with a paperclip before installing the cartridge and when the thick vapor is gone, swinging the whole thing back and forth to get the solution to the atomizer. This last one I wasn't too worried about; it's like I traded flicking ash for centrifuging, lol. Overall I think the little inconveniences are hugely overshadowed by the benefits and the coolness.
I'm a singer and I can't believe the difference it's made in my vocal range. I also used to have coughing fits in the middle of my classes and I haven't had one since I switched. I started feeling healthier and that made me start working out and the whole thing snowballed.
I read a post a guy left here in response to ex-smokers becoming smoker haters. I love nicotine. I understand the reasons for smoking. I started smoking when I was depressed and felt like poisoning myself, then when I found how much calmer and clear headed I was when I smoked, I didn't want to stop. I think all smokers should try these things at least once. Non smokers too; in fact, my brother just came in here while I was writing this and asked me for a cigarette and he hates cigs. I switched it over to menthol and he was freaking out. I will never shun smokers, instead, I'll let them have a few puffs of this and we'll see how long they can deny the deliciousness.
I vap in my car a lot (which still smells musty from analogs, haven't done the cleaning spree yet) and I get weird looks from people when they see the blue LED and I have to chuckle. I'm the only one with an e-cig that I know, and these things are new enough that people have a hard time believing this thing is a cig. Then out comes the vapor and the jaw drops.
Here's a list of issues I've had with the Blu:
-The USB thumb drive charger will only charge the batteries when connected to a USB port. It's designed to work with the power cord too but it doesn't, instead when I connect it it makes a high pitched whirr and acts like it's charging, but never charges the battery.
-The batteries' life spans are slightly lower than when I first got them, but since Li-Ion isn't perfect, no biggie.
-Vanilla, cherry, and java flavors suck both in flavor and vapor. Mostly java. But the classic tobacco and menthol are the .....
-The foil sealing the carts has to be punctured before installing or it doesn't work as well, no biggie.
-Vapor/buzz slowly diminishes as the cart is used up. This is overcome by waving the cig a few times to get the solution into the atomizer, or rotating between nearly empty carts to let the solution diffuse into the front of the fiber.
Again, overall, the benefits outweigh the inconvenience.

I spent too much finding the right one for me LOL! Good luck on your future Vaping!!!!
