The Blu arrived this afternoon...

[Jeff48]

Charged the pack and batteries..(pack took a little over an hour, the batteries about 30 minutes w/usb charger)..nice packaging and instructions...been exercising it for about 2 hours maintaining my typical smoking habits. It is different, but it is satisfying ( I did go into this from a rather skeptical perspective due to many things I have read about the Blu) but I have to admit, this is damn doable. It has great form factor, has a good drag like a smoke once I worked on technique, and really simple.

I have a long way to go, but I can say that I haven't smoked a real smoke in 2 hours, the Blu is compensating really well and it is really enjoyable once you get used to it. The 16 mg of nic ordered in the traditional tobacco and java jolt seem to be the right amount for me. We shall see.

I will post again Monday and tell you how the weekend goes. I want to thank all of you again for your advice earlier in the week, you are an awesome bunch of folks. I truly appreciate it.

I love the Blu Java Jolt .... I wish Johnson Creek would sell it in their juice line.
Good luck Jeff - I started with a Blu also.

I started with Blu more than over a year ago. It did the trick, and I quit smoking. Sadly, the first excuse I could find to go buy a pack of cigarettes, I took. I wasn't ready to let go.


Java Jolt was my favorite with them, too. Even now, coffee juices are my go-to. And Butter Rum. And I'm dying for the tester samples I got from BlueMist (Rum Raisin... a flavor I would NEVER imagine trying, let alone loving) to hit the shelf.

Thanks Susan, as you well know, quitting smoking is one tough road to hoe..I am with you, I will just take it one day at a time. It is the best we can do.

The key is, you have to really want to quit. Last time, I went almost a month. In my head, that entire month, I thought in terms of "until I smoke again" or "I wonder how long I'll keep doing this." I didn't want to quit. I liked smoking. My friends smoked. I missed it.

This time, I'm a week away from 2 months, and I have no desire to go back. I have the moments when I think about going outside to smoke, and then I remember I don't do that, anymore. I don't miss it at all. Walking past people smoking, it smells good... but I tell myself that it stinks. I'm hoping I can brainwash myself into believing that. PEOPLE who smoke stink... it's disgusting... but the actual smoke is still appealing to me

Way more than true, Susan..You have to want it. I am not going to freak myself out about this, I have tried to quit too many times. Just when you think you are over it, the demon comes back and latches on to your back in a bad way, catching you in a weak moment. I swear to God, the impulse to to smoke can be so overwhelming...I can attest to that as we all can. It so pisses me off the addictive control of nicotine that now at 48 yrs of age, I have to do something NOW to break the cycle....it can be done...and it will be done as of today.


Hang tough!

Hey Jeff, Congrats on starting your vaping journey. I started on the Blu as well two years ago. It was just before they switched to Johnsons Creek and I LOVED the cherry crush and vanilla. Java jolt was pretty nice too but I'm excited for you and wish you all the best. Vape on.
