Seems you now have a Blu-cig forum in the suppliers' area of ECF. Do ignore my previous advice.

I have it, its alright.
I do not have a similar super mini, and I would love to see a comparison between it and the M401/2/3.

It gives some decent vapor for a small one, its barely less than my 901.
The batteries and PCC seem to work great, but they are degrading rather quickly.
Im only getting about an hour of use out of each of them now, but in the PCC they take 45 mins to recharge, so Iv just been rotating them.
That was until 2 days ago, when 1 battery quit on me..

The more I use each of my PVs, the more I find myself preferring the 901. Thats just me though

I have two, a 901 and two 510s. I don't have any problems with my blu except its small cartridge and short battery life. I love the PCC. I average about an hour a battery on the blu, but then, I only get 2 hours from the 510's.

The 901 battery seemed to last a bit longer... maybe 3 hours for me, but I hate the hole in the atty where you can so easily cover it, the inconsistent draw, the carts sticking to the atty ( yes, I was topping them constantly - nothing worked), the shut off and the fact that I blew an atomizer in days, the batteries were degrading in less than two weeks and the supplier has yet to get back to me.

I am in LOVE with my 510s. Even with their short battery life, they are the closest to perfect I've experienced yet as far as machinery. When I have a bad cigarette moment (It's been 2 weeks now since the last one) I get out the blu and go outside. It *feels* the most like an analog in my hand - and that helps. So I suppose it has its place in my collection :D

Next up - the Janty Stick... with 510 attys I think it might be bliss :D

Yep. Take it apart to top off after 3 drags - stuffing isn't in the cart, it's in the atty - EVERY time. It was okay sitting at my desk with a pair of tweezers and a bunch of tissues, but I couldnt take it out - because I couldn't top it up without a huge mess.

I honestly don't know if it's bad? It's more maintenance than I want to deal with tho.
 
Well with all the looking around i did before hand i decided to go with the blu myself. However i knew about the backlog but was really after the real cig feel to help cut down on the analogs and get used to the vape process.

Im ok waiting seeing that i had a couple cartons of analogs right by my side. (ordered on the 3rd they should be sent soon :-x) And knowing my knack for gadgets if i like the experience slightly ill be looking to improve it on a daily basis

Im confident from everything Ive read that it will be a good purchase (if not ill mod it :D ) however here comes my questions from other blu users.

One: i know i can get away with refilling the carts, if not im confident of the old addage where there's a will there's a way. If anyone has any suggestions on the matter and what they experienced with blu im all ears.

Two: The thing that worries me the most is the addys. Im afraid of the two week time period for shipping and an curious how durable they really are (aka how long one typically lasts...i know results will differ per user but is there a average time period current owners are experiencing). The 10 bucks isnt an issue but the wait time could be which brings me to my final question.

Is there any atomizers that will fit /makeshift replacement that can be ordered in a more timely manner.

I understand these questions are a bit off topic but felt it was pertinent to the orig post. I also understand this might have to be something i will have to divulge in myself over time however any input would be appreciative.

IF you feel this is too offtopic i will be happy to start a new post and delete this one if possible. Thanks in advance to any feedback :pop::thumbs:
