What to do with my old Blu e-cigs?

[buddhalou]

Like many others, I suspect, my first introduction to e-cigs was at the convenience store where I bought my analogs. I got a starter kit from Blu and while it was neat in a gimmicky sort of way, it didn't do much to help me get off the analogs and I almost gave up e-cigs. Fortunately, I discovered better ways to vape and I haven't had an analog since doing so.
My question, though, is what to do with my Blu? Seems a shame to toss it.
Is there a way to improve performance?
Can I use the batteries/cartos/charger with other product?
Is there something cool about the minis that I'm missing out on?

Hey, i have been vaping for around three months and i picked up a skycigs kit (which i belive is just the uk branding of blu) last week when i ran out of juice and was fairly impressed for what it was, i'd say keep it around as a spare for emergencies, or if you dont want to do that maybe pass it on to a firned to see if they are into it, there cant be anything bad about helping someone you know get off cigarettes.

my two cents anyway.

I did the same thing. 2.5 years ago I bought the No.7 for $100.00 and put it away the next day. Didn't try a real ecig again until 3 months ago. Now I want to sell the No.7 but feel bad about selling it because it's junk.

That's been the thought (passing it on), but what happens is they see what I'm using and they want to go that route so I wind up taking them to the local vape store and helping them get set up. Might just keep it around for emergencies, but I'd still like to boost the performance, if possible. Maybe better cartos on the Blu battery or something.

Thanks for your two cents

You could store it away, and break it out for nostalgia every now and then. Or you could give it a smoker you know that is thinking about E-cigs, and let them give it a try while also explaining there are far better things out there.

It fit absolutely PERFECTLY into our recycling bin. I was SO pleased!

That was about the performance I ever got from mine.

Aren't Blu's 510 threaded? I'm not sure but I thought I heard that somewhere, in which case you could try lots of things on them.

Wow... $100. Guess prices have come down in 2 years. I only got taken for $50, but still feel burned considering my ego-t kit was less than that and was, of course, much better. Picked up an eVic yesterday... wow.

I have just fired a boge 510 onto it to try it out, not too bad. the throat hit isn't amazing but worth a try i guess.

I believe I read that as well. Still learning what's what on a lot of this.

Cool. At least I know I can play around with it a little.

Great Avatar, btw...

That's a good idea, too. Kind of like the crack dealer... "First one's free..."

I just put my Blu gear in the drawer as a back up if I ever need it. If my cartos are too old I can always go to the nearest Walgreens and pick up an overpriced pack of 5 if I'm in a pinch until I receive better gear.

My thoughts exactly. After some "Real" vaping, I may do the same thing. This is what I have now.

They make great substitutes for that old corncob pipe on your snowmen....or you could try convincing your most gullible friend that its a rectal thermometer....other than that Id suggest keeping it for an emergency backup, might be what keeps you off analogs in the event of a PV failure....just make sure you wash it first

Not sure what you have there locally, but you can (probably) pick up a basic ego kit for as much or maybe even less than what you got the Blu for. You won't regret it. Of course... that will probably just lead to mod envy...lol.

I'm fine now. In the pic is my eGo twist-C with a CE 4 and my Provari with a cheap DCT tank. And the stand I made.

Ah... can't see the pic, so didn't know you had the hookup. I almost went Provari, myself.
