Hi Everyone,
Just want to share my experience so far with BluCig. Yes I bought the disposable on a whim like many others. Yes I have gone totally to e cigs since then, 2 weeks, I did like the disposable, it lasted like a day for me, and tasted good. I will not love Blucigs because they happened to be there when I quit because ANY good disposable would have done the same thing. I think e cigs in general are little miracles that help us old timers quit smoking
Anyway, I was thrilled that maybe I could quit after all so ran to Walmart and got the Fin kit with 5 pkgs of cartomizers. They were the only store open. I did figure well the Blucig looks pretty classy and with it's rechargeable case would love to have one. so I went back to the Tobacco shop and purchased one. Took it home and charged the pack and one battery. Decided to charge the other battery in the pack. When I went to screw it in, it smoked and could smell melting wire or plastic. no it was not Vapor it was SMOKE!
It wouldnt ever charge after that. i took it back to the shop and thought I would buy another battery while I wait for an exchange. He said they don't sell the batteries alone. So am wondering if Blucig only sells spare batteries online? anyway they asked me to go home and get the 800 number so he could find what to do. He said trying all day, he would wait and wait and eventually would just get hung up on. So he talked to his distributor and he said for me to take the whole kit back in and they would have a new kit for me there by friday. Sure enough I went and got the new kit. Used it for a couple days, but again, had a battery fail. it won't charge no matter what I do. So I looked online about what to do. As far as I can figure if you didn't buy your blucig from them they don't cover any warranty but perhaps I need to try harder. I thought well, why I don't I just order a new battery for $12.95 and eat the loss. BUT if I have it shipped first class which would be the cheapest, They won't guarantee delivery. WHAT? it would only cost around $1.75 plus .35 fee for delivery confirmation with first class usps mail. I wouldn't even have minded paying a small handling fee which is normal BUT no if I want protection I will have to have it shipped UPS which would cost a min of $6-7 making the battery cost me a total of around $20.00.
I understand the short battery charge is because it is small, but 45 minutes isn't too good but besides that what good does that even do if the batteries don't work?
I am not happy at all, and sounds like they are slow and am kind of mad that they never would ans my vendor and hang up on him all the time. He is really a good fellow and I hated to put him through this.
Much happier with the Walmart Fin system, was cheap and it works. They don't taste as good as the blucig tobacco one. but at least they work .....
In the meantime I also have an Ego-C and Ego-T and 24 mg liquid and very happy with them. I would still like to keep the Blu Cig stuff as back up but now with only 1 battery that has been proven to fail,
I am not real happy with them is what I am trying to say I guess. perhaps one of these days I will buy an extra battery. It doesn't do me much good with one. but not answering their phones and refusing to guarantee arrival unless you use UPS is in my book a good reason to dislike and distrust this company and product. Thanks for letting me Vent!
