Problems with my BluCig

[xikkub]

I've been using my BluCig for about 2-3 days, and I've gone through a few cartridges, but I've noticed that I'm getting little and often no vapor out of it. That's really the only symptom it has. The atomizer gets hot and the battery looks like it works correctly, but I still get no vapor.

Any ideas?

I found that the foil cover on the inner cartridge was causing problems. I removed the cover completely and my blucig worked fine.

I have since moved on to a dse901 and my blu just sits there gathering dust. It was great to get me started but I felt I needed something better.

If you have liquid, put a drop on the atty to see if that gets it going. some of the prefilled carts don't have much liquid in them.

make sure the foil from the carts isnt getting stuck on the atty.
and try directly dripping on the atty.

but I never got the blu to make large amounts of vapor anyway, it's just not powerful enough to do lots of it.

The blu is great for 2 things.
1. short quick fix of nic. (after 4-5 drags you have to wait for the wick to re-saturate, it's thick)
2. Stealth vaping. Where you can't vape, like a restuarant or poker room, it's good not getting much vapor, cup it in your hand covering the led light and exhale into your shoulder and BOOM, no one notices. i sat for 6-8 hours playing poker and no one ever noticed me vaping.

aside from that get a 510/EGO for lounge and driving Vaping.

Keep Vaping

Totally agree..........I sent my Blu back for a refund and got a Tornado/eGo(same thing, different companys)...and got a 510 Revolver Gemini to have a PCC for a backup......am totally happy!! Welcome to the vape world!!!!

The Blu atty takes a day or two, sometimes longer to get broken in, so you may not be broken in all the way. Also the factory carts aren't very consistant.

I do keep a few factory carts on hand for emergency, but the ones that I use I've modded. Take the inner cart out and pitch the polyfill that's comes in there, a t-pin or opened up paper clip is the best tool for getting it out and pushing it back in.. Get some MarineLand size U blue foam and cut a piece slightly wider and longer than the inner cart. Get a bottle of juice, I prefer a 70/30 PG/VG mix, fill the inner cart about 3/4 full, put in the blue foam and top off the cart. Put that back in the outer cart and treat it the same a the factory carts.

It also helps to do a flick to help push the juice from the cart to the atty, but don't over do it as you can flood the atty.

Good luck with your Blu, it takes a few days to get it working at its best.

I got a blu as well. I find that the blu carts are not well engineered. first I can only get one or two vapes off of a cartridge then I have to wait an hour to get another single vape. I have tried refilling the carts and different things to get them to work but I always end up with juice leaking into my mouth. I bought some M801 carts and a M801 atomizer and they work perfectly with the blu battery. the M801 stuff is all I use with it anymore other than dipping with the blu atomizers, because the blu carts are crap. I plan on restuffing the carts with fluval and PTB to see if I can use them. The filling in the blu carts just doesn't work for me at all.

Posts like this are why I'm glad I chose the 510. I was SO CLOSE to going with Blu! Reading this makes me feel better about my decision. Thank you ALL!

My best friend's Blu inspired me to make the switch from analog to vapor. It works OK, but unfortunately my 510 beats the pants off the Blu when it comes to vapor and consistency.

With all the money and advertising backing it, Blu is the perfect gateway product for vaping. It has led a TON of people to kick analogs. For that, I love that little Blu devil. And, it can be a good little machine but does require some tweaks to get the most out of it.

Unfortunately, factory cartridges are trash and a complete waste of money. Steer clear of them. You have other, cheaper and higher performing options. Buy some juice and drip 3 drops on the atty. I can produce a decent amount of vapor that way. Or, you can take the road I did. Grab yourself some 510 Soft Cap Cartomizers, some high quality juice and screw those onto your Blu battery. Even better, they will fit in the PCC. The vapor of a 510 with the perks of a Blu. In all likelihood, if you stick with vaping, this won't likely be your last PV kit you purchase. In this case, the Blu will be relegated to backup status, but its not a bad backup to have.

Bottom line, just keep vaping. Whatever you do, DO NOT go back to analogs.

Happy Vaping!
