Trying to get dad switched----stuck on 808 "blu" types

[Apec]

So my first Vapor was an 808, a V2, but I had the longest for best battery life. His thing is he likes the BLU b/c it is small but wants longer battery than 2-3 hours. Does anything exist?? He is driving me crazy.

I bring my "kit" to his house and thinks I am crazy. He doesnt want oil. Just the cartridge.

I think the short V2 with Cart's, unless their is a shorter one that will punch as much batt life. The BS BLU's batt last seriously 1-2 hours, not heavy vaping.

Nada?

MAybe eroll?

I believe the blu uses a 510 connection, you can buy him a ego 650 battery. That will last him all day.

So many people seemed to start with Blu, and then moved on to other devices, myself included.

Here is a link to a section of the forum devoted to Blu:

Blu Electronic Cigarettes

It's in the model specific section. I'll bet you could get some good advice there.

Some folks get "stuck" where they will not accept anything larger/longer than what looks like a cigarette. Realistically, you can't expect a battery of that size to perform any better than they do. Short time of use between charges and very little vapor. Expensive in the long run too as you need so many to last the day.

Same goes for the pre-filled cartridges. Much more expensive than filling your own juice attachment and a very limited selection of flavors.

For an improved vaping experience, concession will need to be made. Larger battery for more power and longer usage between charging, better juice attachments, and better flavored e-liquids.

I understand your frustration, but it ultimately is your father's decision to upgrade if and when he ever decides to do so. As long as he is not smoking, encourage his success. Maybe one day he will see the light.

There is one thing I absolutely miss about smoking. The ability to dangle that thing from my lips. I have to buy disposables (every once in a while) so I can get that fix.

My little volts I can, but my CE3s all cracked. It was tough to hold those in your mouth for 10 minutes. The NJOYs do that for me.

Exactly...it is all those little triggers that cause one to smoke..if he likes to dangle the ecig...so be it...just purchase more batteries and make sure he is never without

The joy tech e-roll is a good kit but again your talking 1-3 hours a charge depending on use. The good thing is it doesn't "leak" it's charge like the blu does.

The hardest part of the change for me is the difference in technique. I constantly held my egos and now my evic just to get use to how they feel and use. The ease of use and comfort of use while doing things is a big hurdle to get over. Just think of how many things you did while having a cig held in your lips and how many if those you can't do with a vape pen and you can see why the cig alikes have their place. Take him to a vape shop and let him look at and feel the different set ups if that's possible. An ego set up may be a good fit.

I have the V2 kit (which I used for a week LOL). The batteries won't last any longer than a Blu. However, they do come with a PCC, so you can keep a couple charged up all the time.

If he doesn't want anything bigger, he's not ready yet

Oh, and it's not 'oil' - it's eliquid....just sayin'

if it weren’t for Blu i might’ve switched to e-cigs a few years earlier than i eventually did. my first experience to e-cigs was trying out my friend’s Blu back in ’09 and getting a mouthful of nasty liquid in my mouth. after about 10 minutes i handed it back and said, “yeah, good luck with that” and went happily back to my marlboro lights.

fast forward to 2013 and i decided i’d had enough of tobacco cigs and needed to find a realistic alternative over cessation. did a lot of e-cig research via googling, settled on a proper starter kit from a highly reviewed brand, and haven’t had tobacco since my starter kit arrived almost nine months ago. i’m glad i gave e-cigs a second chance.

Check out the little Joye 510's. You won't get 3 hours... maybe close to 2 though. They come in "automatic" like the Blu's or with a manual button. With or without the stupid blinking light on the end.

I have a half dozen paired with clearomizers and a "gang" charger that will charge a fistful at the same time. They're still my go-to carry around device. Fit in a shirt pocket. (Those and a couple of short, tiny 400mah mini egos).

Thanks for the help guys. His things is the size, wants it like a cig, and no oil. So between the V2 I have and the Blu he has, unless he gets I think the 100 or 110 they call it with around 280mah (lol). That's the best I guess he can get.

I didn't know if maybe something new, not 510 size. Has to be cig or 808 size.

510 is the connection, I think you should get him a eGo 650mAh w/ CE4 Clearomizer Blister Pack Starter Kit - MyFreedomSmokes.com the battery can be used with the blu carts, and he can give juice a try. You don't have much to lose for $15.
