New to forum, and vaping...

[Shawng88]

Hey everyone,

I recently bought a blu cigs kit...its been a couple weeks now and i must say, kinda frustrated....when i first tried it, i thought it was amazing...this continued for a couple days, i wasnt smoking analogs hardly at all, probably like 1 or 2 a day, as opposed to about 15-20

I had read about the foil in the carts and didnt take it out for the first cart just to see how it was...i vaped on that for a few hours, taking about 5 puffs every 30 min or so..seemed decent, then i switched carts and took the foil out before putting it on...didnt really notice much difference...neither way had very much flavor but was a pretty good amount of vapor with a good throat hit...but i continued to take the foil out before i put them on just as a precaution...

However...a few days after i had been using the blu, it started lacking in vapor...i would get MAYBE 2-3 good puffs from it then nothing...i tried putting fresh carts on, charging batteries...etc...still same thing....1-3 good hits then, poop...ive gone thorugh probably half of the 25 carts that came with it trying to get this thing to work like it was...im just so cunfused and dont know if im doing something wrong or what...please shed some light on this for me!!!

Blu is not regarded highly, it seems. I never used one but had the volcano to start and I think they are similar or the same. IMO, bottom line is get a better unit. You can try dripping liquid on the atty and see if that gives flavor and vapor. Those pre filled carts don't do much and they are tiny on that unit. Go with an ego or riva if you can afford it. Can you return the Blu?

yeah man i saw blu on a ......... and was gonna get it, then i thought hey let's watch some review on youtube and bought Greensmoke, LOL

blu is a cheaper mistake, never get greensmoke, read the forums about what you want and you gonna find the real good ones just for you man, i've already spent 3 days reading but there's just too many good choices.

if you can, return the blu while you can, i remember they offer refund man!

Welcome to the forum, Shaun! Can't help out much, but I'm betting that the answer might be found in the Blu Cig subforum. I've also heard that Blu honors their refund policy if you ultimately decide to go that route. Hope this helps some.

You cant rely on any manufacturers carts to last very long. Doesnt matter how much juice they put in, it all wont come back out. I'd have to agree with the return, only problem with the bigger better stuff is its a little different than the cig pack experience (although will probably get a PCC at some point for my mom since she loves the form factor of the 510 mega) So if you want a pack similar to the blu as apposed to a small kit to carry your supplies, keep that in mind.

If you love the blu form factor wise, but it's just not working for you consider a 510 PCC setup, but for the love of god get the MEGA 280 mAh batteries or you might have issues with longevity.

Careful dripping, blu's use autobatteries I believe and those can get gummed up with juice if you arent careful. If past return window, might try letting battery dry out for a day or two, recharge and see if it works better.

Welcome Shawn

Don't feel bad, my first experience with e-cigs was also with Blu. I was never able to get consistent quality vapor production out of the Blu carts. If you decide to keep your unit I would suggest buying some SLB 510 cartomizers and some quality juice. That improved my vaping experience with the Blu quite a bit. I have since moved on to a Vapor king from V4L, and also just recently bought a Riva. I still have my Blu but rarely touch it anymore because my other units perform that much better.
