So I'm using the Blu e-cig. Before anyone complains about how crappy it is, I want to make it clear I'm happy with it, for the most part. I'm not looking for another model, but I am looking for a way to make my cartridges last longer. If I vape without interruption from analogs, my cartridges last maybe a 1.5 - 2 weeks. I've been looking into e-liquid so that hopefully I can extend the use of my liquid, but I'm having trouble pinpointing the kind I should use. My friend gave me 3 small bottles of Ms. T's Bakery Essentials (no nicotine). Surprisingly I get a lot of vapor from it (which is probably because of how I fill my cartridges), but it doesn't give me the feeling I get from regular Blu cartridges. I like like the throat and lung hit I get from Blu's liquid, and I can hardly feel anything from this other liquid. It's too smooth. Does anyone know of a good (but inexpensive) brand of e-liquid that has a similar feel to the Blu, or at least an obvious throat and lung hit?

If you dont want smooth you might find all VG a little soft for your tastes. Ditto with no nic juices - I find the TH on higher nic ones quite throat blasting (I prefer the softer TH myself).
Ive had the MS Ts ones, and they are smooth - but at lower nic levels (which I get). The higher nic levels are not as smooth so it may be that reason; you said your one from there had zero nic yes?
If you're looking for the same TH etc as from your Blu (and Im not gonna knock it if youre happy with it, thats fine lol) you need to get teh same nic strength. I'm presuming you have nic in your Blu carts but I may be wrong as its not clear from your post.
The 24mg ones I got from cignot (the BASIC jucies that rwoods above me mentions) were really STRONG (I'm a 12mg gal) on TH and lots of vapor - too strong for me (alas at the time there was no 12mg option, now there is though).
What nic strength are your Blu cartridges filled with?
Are they all PG or a mix of PG and VG? (PG gives a bunch of TH btw, VG gives more vapor and smoother flavor hit, can also add a bit of sweetness which you may or may not want)
If we start with that maybe we can help you more :)

My Blu cartridges are 'high' strength, and are entirely PG based, whereas Ms. T's is a mix of PG and VG, which explains the vapor output.

I considered that nicotine levels might play a part, but I wasn't sure. I'll have to ask my friend if she has any liquid with nic in it so I can test that theory.

I would prefer a PG mixture anyway simply because it's what I know.

Pg with a bit VG shouldn't affect your TH too much so that opens up a lot of e juice suppliers to you at least. I'd stay off the all VG ones though if TH is really a big thing for you - you may find though that with some nicotine in there you get the 'hit' you're after.
Not surprised at all you found the no-nic all VG soft after high ones lol
Be like drinking lemonade when what you wanted was whisky :D

I use a bunch of different suppliers (variety is the spice..as they say) - not sure which are the cheapest though. I get you don't want to spend too much cash at first (I said taht as well...didn't last long lol). Myfreedomsmokes isn't too bad on price - they have some decent flavors and small bottles (sample type sizes).
Not sure what sort of thing you are looking for though, so don't want to list everyone I get mine from in case its information overload lol
