New here and to vaping. pointers?

I just recently got a Blu, yes, and i agree that their attys are somewhat obnoxious. I ordered some 510 attys and Johnsoncreek juice. I dont think im going to stick with the automatic style of battery, and was wondering what some good manuals are. I want to be analog Free but has not happened yet. I would love some tips and tricks. I already dewicked and debrigged my blu attys and am currently dripping from the flavor carts pulled apart. Thank you for reading. Im glad I have found something that is starting to help

The three most popular minis are 510, 901 and KR808D-1 (aka Vapor King at Vapor4Life).

510 - cart unit with many options, maybe less flavor with carts but bigger hotter hit?, cartos available
901 - good flavor and easy drag but a softer airier hit, don't know if cartos available
KR808D-1 - dedicated cartomizer unit (but you can also put a 901 atty and carts on it w/ no adapter, or 510 w/ adapter)

All available w/ manual batteries
Each of those also has a fat battery long charge life version available - Ego or Riva 510 (based on 510), Riva 901 (based on 901), Elegant Easy (based on KR808D-1). \

Of the three, I would say the 510 in general and its fat battery models have the most options available - the most kinds of carts and cartomizers and atomizers etc. And if you get a 510 I recommend Joye brand because there are some substandard clones around - some people getting kits with parts that don't fit etc. buy Joye and you should get a good one.

If you can, I'd suggest vaping only for an entire week...I've been able to do it easily, and I realize "everyone's mileage will vary," but it's worth it when you take a small puff from an analog as I did this evening. It tasted like licking an ashtray. I'm glad I did it, however, because it certainly answered a question for me: I'm perfectly just fine with only vaping.

Good luck, and I hope you find the perfect PV in the very near future...my vote's for the eGo or something similar.

Dormouse is right on. If you don't mind a somewhat larger form factor than the super mini (Blu), I would suggest one of the fat bat type PVs. A fat bat such as Ego or Riva 510 is about the size of a sharpie pen. The biggest advantage over the super mini is the battery life. You will get 6-8 hours of fairly moderate vaping from one charge.

These kits can be had for a very reasonable price. (29.99 to 39.99) for two complete PVs. Everything you need comes with the kit except juice and spare atomizers.

Check out Liberty-Flights. They have the lowest price on the Ego and Riva 510 kits that I have seen. Good customer service and reputable dealer. They are UK based, but have a warehouse in California that they ship from. 3-5 days usually.

All great advice (can't find my glasses. So I may have missed this next point) another nice thing about the 510: you can you your blu attys on it. Now that they are nicely mutilated. Get a 306 driptip to cover the atty ( they are the same ) and you'll have multiple option, since it fits the ego as well.
On another note.. The riva is now making a 'fat bat' for the 901 too! ( and yes they do have cartos for the 901 AND the 306 and the 801)
My favorite vape is the 901 on a riva with a driptip. It gives a nice smooth vape.
Point is, there are all varieties of attys and battys and these days, many of them mix and match.
