Blu Electronic Cigarette
Aug. 16th, 2010 01:50 pmI managed to get one for my birthday (a late birthday, it finally arrived today.)
At first I was pretty disappointed with it - It seemed fickle, I wasn't getting any real vapor production. But I read about how the foil gets stuck to the atomizer (solved that) and I decided I'd try a completely new cart other than the one I first put on. Worked like a charm.
It seems the trick to these things is you have to get the atomizer warmed up. Otherwise, it's not vaping properly. I thought it was the opposite at first, because it seemed like the longer i left it sit the better it vaped (but only for one hit) however, when I put the second cartridge on, it smoked like a charm for a good 7 hits...and I even managed to get that nicotine high I hardly ever feel anymore.
Pretty awesome. No more smell, no more harmful side effects, and it should help me quit smoking anything - even it - entirely. My lungs will be healing in no time and it'll be like I never smoked. Exciting.

It isn't giving me the same experience every time I try a new cart - but ultimately this about me quitting smoking, not continuing it in a different fashion. But if I found a -really- good product (I don't think Blu is) i might continue to.

Nicotine itself is harmful, yeah, but not nearly as much in conjunction with all those other chems. There are some positives about nicotine also - not sure they necessarily outweigh the negatives, however.
