My Blu's came in the mail yesterday, and overall they're not terrible. It seems though, that as you continue to vape, your intake because lighter and lighter, or the strength seems to dwindle. I know that the Blu's are not the best or even remotely close to people's favorite, but these are my first purchase.

Any tips, tweaks, or different ways to make the Blu more efficient? Even if it's not for what I described above, anything could help.

I do take slow drags, and I have removed the little foil pieces that get stuck to the atomizer, any other tips?

Thanks.

Yep, get a drip tip and drip your own juice, and LR 510 atty(they fit just fine, its what I did till I got better device). I know I know, the mah rating or whatever, but it will make the experience so much more enjoyable.... while it lasts. Or better yet, suck it up and order a better PV. You know you want to.

On an automatic battery, it helps tremendously to take a 1 to 2 sec draw before your actual draw. This gives the crappy battery a head start on heating the atty. Also known as a primer puff. Then with your actual draw, take long slow, gentle draws. Just enough to keep the little blue light on. Good luck man.

honestly the very best tip I could give you is to send the whole thing back for a refund then purchase a 510/eGo.

My blu is sitting on a shelf in my closet. Ive tried everything to get it to perform with any kind of consistency, and I honestly just no longer think its possible.

That being said, with the autobattery you'll want to take primer puffs on it. Basically its more like smoking a pipe. Two short quick ( but not too hard or youll end up with juice in your mouth ) puffs then one long 5-8 second drag.

I've tried refilling the Blu carts, but the process is soooooo much longer and more involved than refilling 510 carts with so little actual vape time after that its just not worth it. Even the prefilled juice isnt very good and Ive ended up with tons of unused Blu carts in my closet. I purchased alot of them in the beginning because I had heard Blu was having shipping issues and I didnt want to run out and go back to analogs, though I could never quite quit analogs while using the Blu.

You can get the most out of your Blu, but its "most" really isnt all that great. Its a great concept, same size as a cigarette, but for anyone who was a serious smoker, its just not going to satisfy.

I must be some sort of freak because I have zero problem with these l88b models. I've actually "gone backwards" and stuck my other "better" equipment in a drawer, my Volcano is the only pv I get any semblance of satisfaction out of. And I use stock prefilled carts. My broken in atty provides a nice smooth draw, th and vapor production. Give it some time, personally I find the recommended popular models to be extremely overrated.
