Refilling blu carts

[Tallmaan84]

Thank you guys so much for the amount of info i have been able to just literally dive into and soak up. As i have explained on numerous occasions i only have a blu starter kit and was quite discouraged until i found out HERE that you could refill them. I have refilled the same cart about 3 times and its worked fairly well. I'm using some eliquid that a friend gave me that i have no idea what ratio or what but it just has a sticker of VG on it. The taste isn't the best and the fluid is WAY too thick for the cart that comes with the blu any thoughts on this or advice would be appreciated. The vapor produced and the TH are awesome at first but soon taper off after about 5 pulls. I personally think its because blu sucks but i could be wrong. I think i might need to dilute the fluid some but looking for input.

You mean the current Blu kit? That does not use carts, it uses cartomizers aka cartos (they hold juice AND screw right onto the battery?)

If you have cartomizers

personally bro, buy some 510 CE2 clearomizers, they actually work pretty damn good on a Blu. Blu was one of my first, quickly within 2 weeks realized I needed something better. if your enjoying the blu than power too ya, but more than likely you will be just like 90% of Blu users who quickly give them up and find a much better/much cheaper ecig. try out some 510 CE2s on the Blu, I enjoyed them on my blu for a bit.

this look really good on a blu, and do the job on the blu pretty damn good. I took an empty one I had left over from a bit ago, just filled it with some nice blueberry pg, screwed it on my blu to test, and it's working beautifully. try it out you shouldn't be too dissapointed.

ya sorry got my lingo mixed up. I'm using the two piece rig. Ive read the post and what he says to do works but i don't know what im doing wrong. It produces insane TH and great smoke off the bat but it then tapers off after a few pulls. Battery power lacking? or Something else?

the blu cartos are pretty terrible, they work best pre filled than I find they become pretty useless. get some new cartos, you'll be much more happy.

I'm looking into getting an entire new setup instead lol. Just trying to make these stretch to help save me money in the long run. One of the reasons i actually started this great habit .

Re eliquid thickness - in cartomizers I use PG w/ 20% or less VG. Soaks right in, wicks well. However - I use sealed manual batteries and you have auto batteries with an open hole in the middle of the end. So you have to be more careful that your carto will not leak before putting it back on the battery (or you could kill your batteries)

Here is the Blu forum

You can also use Boge 510 3 ohm cartomizer blanks. But if you ever get real 510 batteries (like the nice manuals that are totally sealed on the threaded end) then never charge them in the Blu charger and never charge Blu in the 510 charger - their chargers will fry each other (Blu is reverse electrical polarity).

I hear the saving money part, for ALOT of us it takes monthsss before you actually start saving money because of testing all juices, cartos, attys, etc. but in a long run, you will def start to save money once you find your sweet spot. could take a while before you find that spot tho.

Of course, my wife however isn't as forgiving about the money-saving part. I'm trying to convince her of this and its slowly working. Since we are both quitting Death Sticks, she of course doesn't get that since ive been smoking twice as long as her i need something else to help me quit the real thing lol. Thanks for all the great advice!!
