Still new to this, learning as I go!

[BumbleBee]

Hi everyone. I got myself a Blu E-cig about 3 weeks ago, and it really has helped me cut down the number of traditional smokes I go through, and I'm hoping over time I can just stop completely!

I do have a few questions, which is what motivated me to seek out this forum (they may be better suited to the Blu forum, but newbies can only post here!)

1. I went to the beach, and I lost one of my E-cigs there! So, now, of course, I will need to replace it. I went to the Blu site, and they have the Originals, Premiums, and Premium 100's ... the 100's are slightly bigger, and boast a longer battery life ... my question is, will they fit to charge in the Blu original pack??

2. What do you reccomend other than the Blu e-cigs (it must be a short cig style design, I wouldn't use any of the non traditional cig versions, and it would be nice if it had EASILY refillable cartridges!!!

I hope the members here have patience, I am learning as I go here!!!

I don't know the answer to your question , but wanted to Welcome you to ECF , anyway . Surely someone familiar with the Blu's will post a response . I'm pretty sure , it will charge it , but it might stick out a bit . And you can look at the Joye 510's , I recommend the manual batteries .

Welcome to ECF,

I am not familiar with the Blu but i agree with Renzuli - if you want a small e-cig the Joye 510 would be a good choice.

Btw why don't you give a "non traditional cig version" a try?
They are vaping better, providing a better taste and have most likely a longer vaping experience due to larger battery capicity.

cheers phk

I was like you when I started vaping and wanted the analog look.

It didn't take long to get over that but there are better options out there today...I hope.

Best of luck to you and Welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you must stick with a cig style one (which I don't understand), check out the Volt from Smokeless Image. I've never tried one, but they're highly recommended on here.

Thanks everyone! I didn't expect so many responses so quickly!!!

I will probably one day give the non-traditional style ones a try. For right now, I'm using it to stop smoking, and honestly, mostly, it's a mental thing. Right now, I am just doing what I have to to NOT smoke, even if it doesn't make a lot of sense. Baby steps. And I am doing well!!

I looked at the Volt when I looked at the Blu, and the deciding factor was that I can buy Blu refill cartridges in Walgreens and other stores, so I could always get a refill cart fast, no matter what! But I will give the volt another look!

I's sure there are many, MANY opinions on the best non-trad e-cig out there, but what do some of you suggest, for some one with the small, narrow design in mind?

The blu is 510 threaded so the blu carts will fit on any 510 device but the blu is reverse polarity so putting a 510 in the blu charger will fry something. As for the longer blu battery I have no clue sorry.

Hi welcome to ECF. Go to utube do a search under ecigs. Hundreds of great reviews. Good luck

For a look alike, check out the Smokeless image volt. If you like the blu, you'll love the volt. The batteries last 3 -4 times longer. The cartos also last a long time, can be refilled and don't burn as easy as the blu. They also sell the x2, which is an ego style battery and is compatible with everything the small batteries use. This way you can have both. They are also much cheaper than blu, and there is a 15% off coupon. Here is a video that talks about the volt http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELM4QhceR7o

Hi Bumblebee
I had the Blu Premium 100
I think the PCC for the Premium 100 is different from the PCC for the original Blu. The Premium 100 batt is slightly longer in length & is supposed to last a tad longer before needing charged.
BTW that $120 Blu kit only took care of me for a week & I ordered a $45 Kgo cuz the Blu just wasn't satisfying me. It was good at first for a few days. It taught me what vaping is about. But to truly switch from smoking to vaping I had to go bigger & stronger. The Blu cartos max out at only 18 mg nic. I vape 24 mg nic on a Kgo. That keeps me off the analogs.
Good luck.
