Hello everyone! Skymutt here.
Call me Sky, call me Mutt, Call me sweetie, just don't call me stupid for buying a Blu.
Yeah, yeah, you read that right. I bought the new Blu starter pack yesterday, sue me.
Long story short, I've been wanting a PV for a few years now. I don't remember how many years it's been, but a couple friends started using some of the earlier cigalikes a while back, I want to say 306's but maybe I'm wrong and they were 510's. Either way, they were three piece systems. They liked them, but eventually quit because of battery life problems, atomizer cleaning/replacement/maintenance, etc. So I've been reading things here to get a feel for what's current, and while it's apparent that few people still enjoy cigalikes, they're much more to my style than the larger mods and APVs just now.
So, despite the general distaste for Blu, I decided to take a shot since their newest starter pack is more affordable and similar to the experience I'm looking for by using a PV. I'm a very light analog smoker, maybe 2 packs a week, and those are "ultra lights" to boot. So the "weaker" experience that heavy users dislike is something I hope won't bother me at all. I'm also not a typical smoker in that I don't smoke analogs because I want/need the nicotine most of the time. I can go long periods without smoking and suffer no withdrawal. Sure, sometimes, especially when I'm stressed, I "need" a smoke, but for the most part it's the act and not the chemicals that I want. I like the size and light weight of this Blu version, and the new PCC is exactly what I wanted. It's smaller than a deck of playing cards, but still holds both batteries and 4 cartos, plenty for me in a normal day (I'm guessing).
Well, I tend to be a little wordy, so I'll sign off for now and tell the rest of my story in future posts. Thanks for reading if you made it this far. Hope to meet plenty of PV enthusiasts and share the experience here.
