Here is my review. I will probably update this as it's still rather new, but unfortunately I am not too impressed with it at this point. :(

(edit: I figured out how to get maximum vape and throat hit. Second review to follow later. Great product!)

Also available on PitTube - Get drunk and video yourself! I try not to use YouTube much anymore since their policy changes.

And here is a bonus video I found. This guy is having WAY too much fun with his e-cig. :D

The responses to my review has been nothing more than underwhelming. :oops: Thanks for all the support :D

I took it to work and got a much better review to post. I'll make one tomorrow. These DSE103 Sophomores actually kick some serious .....

So nobody even made one comment? Was it the hat? Glasses? My lack of deodorant? :shock:

Glad to see you left an honest review. Not pessimistic, but you did say that their were things you didn't like. I just bought my first ecig from blu, and after watching your vid and looking at some pics of DSE 103s, all blue is doing is calling a DSE 103 by another name.

In your edit you said that you found a way to get maximum vapor and throat hit, what did you do? I get a very inconsistent smoke with mine right now, and would love to improve it.

Have you tried dipping/dripping, or refilling any of the premade carts yourself? I am going to try and make my own carts when I get my JC smoke juice. I am also buying some blank DSE 103 carts so I can verify that the blu is really just a DSE 103.
Happy vaping, and I would love some tips on it

Well, I prime the atomizer by putting a small drop (not drip on it) to get it going and I fill my own carts. I find that the DSE103 is a pretty common e-cig. In fact, my Smoking Everywhere e-cig seems to be a DSE103 with a different designed atomizer and cartridge. When my SE atomizer died (they're sending me a new one free as they have a 1 year warentee), I screwed the DSE103 atomizer on my SE battery and it fit perfectly. So I can still vape while waiting for my SE atomizer (as it's free, may as well take advantage of it)

I did a second review. A month after buying, this is one damned fine e-cig! For a little e-cig, it creates great vapor, and the original atomizer is still going strong.

In this video, I took the atomizer and I dripped my favorite drink (The Club Manhattan) on it with unflavored juice to give it the PG. I took a chance, but these atomizers, you just can't kill!

Great vapor output and throat hit. Highly recommended product!

It even outlasted the SmokingEverywhere atomizer. Great job Adam!

I found out for sure that Blu is in fact NOT a DSE 103. I got in touch with some one that works for Johnson Creek Smoke Juice because they sell blank cartridges for a DSE 103 and asked if he was able to verify this rumor. He said that he actually owns and uses a Blu and they are not the same thing. That he basically has to take a used up Blu cartridge, take out the swab, take the swab out of a blank DSE 103 cartridge, dip it in smoke juice, and re-instert it into the now emptied Blu cartridge.
