I did the same, but I only tolerated the Blu for about two weeks. I wanted a 'real' pv, but still wanted on the smaller side, and wanted an uncomplicated startup. I found the Halo G6 with the mini tanks and couldn't be happier! Since I liked the flavor of the Blu menthol, I got Johnson creek tundra, and it's virtually identical. The 100% VG isn't doing so well in the tank, so I'm now looking for an alternative. But the Halo has been awesome. And the 78mm battery lasts me nearly a full workday. With a second one I'm my pocket, I've never had to be concerned about not having a PCC.

I think your choice is great; you can get one Twist and one Spinner, in your choice of colors. The higher the mAh, the (slightly) bigger the battery. The longer time you will have in between charging, etc.

That is a GREAT beginning kit. It will allow you to experiment with Variable Voltage (VV) and different devices. Additionally, you can use your Blu cartridges on your batteries, because they are 510 threaded, as are the Twists and Spinners. Many experienced vapers continue to use a Twist or Spinner even after upgrading to another type of personal vaporizer, (PV) because they are so versatile.

GO FOR IT! Have fun! Continue to read and ask questions. You will find out what you like best with that particular kit, and it will allow you to experiment and grow. You will LOVE the batteries compared to your Blu. Congratulations, and good luck with your journey!

So is there any reason not to get the 1300s when they are the same price either way? And for all the options should I choose the types lowest on the lists?

Yeah, I still haven't ordered it, but definitely will by Thursday morning.

I, personally, would get the 1300's. They would last the longest between re-charging (and this, as you now because you vape Blus, is VERY important!)

Cartomizer/clearomizer choices are up to you! I like the color choices...you might want to get one EVOD and one Kanger T3, most people seem to have little to no problems with those two. Don't forget to order some JUICE! Go peruse the E-Liquid forum if you want some ideas.

I ditched the blu 's also and went for the spinner with the EVOD's and so far I have been happy with those. The button does take sometime to get used to I do forget to push it. I'm getting used to it. I still keep some V2's and g6's around for those times when I'm out and about. When I'm at home and don't want fuse with the carts the spinner is my go to.

Well, I'm hoping to start by finishing my month's supply of Blu cartos.

My analog cigarette of choice was Camels, but reviews for Kamols seem to lean towards "a bit too strong." Maybe these people were Marlboro Lights smokers, which I understand because I was that before a Camel smoker. I'm thinking of going with Smooth Tobacco when I do buy the liquid.

But yeah, I should check that out, thanks.

Thanks for the advice!

I am in no position to say anything, but maybe as a general rule in the New Members Forum, you should explain terms and acronyms. Sorry, it's just overwhelming for a newcomer. That's not directed at you only.

And yes, I should read more, but it's still overwhelming, sorry.

I know it can be overwhelming, Sorry about that. The kit your talking about is sometimes called a spinner or twists (types of batteries), These have a button you push to activate the battery, the bottom moves to pick voltage. I have the 1300 it lasts longer between charges. You have a choice of the toppers (Tanks) I selected the Evods they had a good rating. The V2's and the G6's ( Halo's) are name brands of cig a likes. They works better then the blu's and you can get blanks for them and use your own juice. They both have prefilled carts also. I like the spinner because some juices vape better at different volts. Hope this helps
