Volcano cartomisers appear to be 510 threaded also so yes, they 'should' fit your blu.

Not to be weird or sound like I'm pushing products on you but have you ever thought about doing it cheaper than buying prefilled cartomisers?

You can pick up a pack of 5 510 cartomisers for less than $10 and buy your own eliquid to put in them and you can be good for a month or more with what... $15 - 20? Prefills are convenient but you can do it cheaper, by a lot if you DIY.

I dunno, maybe you do fill them yourself or refill them, just throwing that out there incase you didn't know XD

Actually, they are not 510s, but they ARE 510 threaded. The volcano is basically the same thing as a Blu
Volcano= l88b
Magma = 510
Inferno= eGo

The issue with 510 cartos on the Blu (or Volcano) is that the l88b battery is skinnier, it feels/looks odd.
More imprtantly, the 510 cartos dont fit right in the PCC.
it CAN be done though.

In theary, the volcano cartos will work/fit the Blu and PCC, but I have not tryed it myself yet.

Warning - if you get some Volcano or other 510 batteries do NOT put them on the Blu charger nor vice versa. I heard the Blu batteries and charger are reverse electrical polarity vs normal 510. Blu charger will fry/melt a 510 battery and 510 charger will fry/melt a Blu battery

If you do get 510/Volcano batteries I recommend MANUAL batteries - easier to get a good hit, safe from juice leaks of refilled cartos, you can drip on the atty to test juices, won't turn on accidentally in wind or vibration. I think even the small standard 510 batteries have double the charge of the Blu

The Volcano is reverse polarity also. They are the same model batteries as the Blu. I Have personally charged a Volcano Battery in a Blu pack and the Blu USB charger.

The Volcano Magma is a 510 and is not compatable with the volcano/Blu pack/charger.

UPDATE:
Turns out I got some defective ones! After reading over and over again that Volcano cartos will work on a 510, I decided to try a different carto from the box. It DID fit. So I went through all 25 of the Volcano cartos I just got and found that 5 of them were defective with the extra skinny threaded end.

I'm new to this forum but have experience with Blu (started out with Blu and Eluma) and Volcano and.... if you want to get your own ejuice and fill your own cartos.... get Boge 306 2.8 Ohm cartos and go with those.

The problem with the 510 cartos.... you got a size mismatch (wider than your BLU batteries) and then also they won't fit in the Blu EPack.

The Boge 306 cartos will fit nicely into the Blu Pack (lol... I have two Blu packs each with 7 Boge 306 cartos in them, and that makes 14 different flavors) and there is only a minimal size mismatch (they are a tiny bit wider).

Do NOT try to use Boge 306 2.0 ohm cartos (as opposed to the 2.8s) on your Blu or Volcano batteries... these cartos draw too much current for the Blu/Volcano batteries and will burn them out real fast (I burned out two Blu batteries by using 2.3 ohm Joye atomizers on them... they can only take so much).

As far as EJ is concerned... lol... there is LOTS out there. I use 6 ounce bottles and when the bottle runs out I throw out the carto. Some of em get clogged so I ram a straightened medium sized paper clip up there and un-clog them.

Some people use the condom method to fill their cartos but with these I just drip until I just get to the point where I cannot see through the hole in the middle anymore and then I stop. Yeah, this is maybe going 1 drop too far but, no big deal. In any case, there are vidoes out on UTube on how to fill cartos.

I have seen posts on the Boge 306 2.8s by people saying that these cartos 'saved their BLU'.

Oh, I should say here, I got two BLACK BLU EPacks and two WHITE BLU EPacks, and it was kinda funny when I got the first white one, the holes inside were a tad wider then in the black epacks, even though otherwise they were identical other than the color, and the BLU/Volcano atomizers with their mouthpieces were a bit loose when I put them in the white epacks.

But then I got the 306 cartos and, they are a bit wider than the atomizer mouthpieces and, they fit real good into the white epacks and were tight in the black epacks. Now, I started using 306 drip tips and, they are in between the other two as far as size but are loose in the white epacks and thus I got them in the black epacks.

Bottom line, the Boge 306 cartos might be tight in the BLU epacks depending on the color you have and other factors, but they will still fit, unlike the 510s, which won't fit at all.
