Blu Cigs Review

Blu Cigs Review – The Blu Cigs electronic cigarette has been talked about on the web for a while now and most people have at least heard of them. Thanks to massive marketing, these are the first thought of most people when electronic cigarettes are the topic. Of course, Blu Cigs are not the only device on the market, but they do lead in innovative technology that delivers nicotine without the harmful effects of combustion.

Since these devices are no longer regulated by the FDA, more and more electronic cigarette companies have been popping up. Since there will be such an influx of new products in this market, it’s prudent to check out some of the facts about the brands you’re considering for purchase.

Along with customer service, there are some factors to take into consideration.

These are:

  • strength of vapor
  • what comes in the starter kit
  • cost of replacement cartridges
  • Measuring these factors is important when making your choice of product. Blu Cig has a review on our site already, but we’ll now use these factors to examine their product objectively.

Here’s where the Blu Cig shines above the others:

A strong stream of vapor is the hallmark of the Blu Cig, to the point that it feels very similar to smoking an actual cigarette. If you like smoking while playing video games then you’ll like the consistency of this product in delivering nicotine. Bythe way, I reccomend this SWTOR Savior leveling guide for all you Star Wars fanatics!  If there’s anything that doesn’t measure up on this device, it’s the atomizer. This is the piece that heats the fluid to produce the vapors. Regular cleaning is necessary to maintain optimal operation. For reference, a product like the Green Smoke require fewer cleanings.

Never discount the importance of good customer service, and Blu Cigs shines in this portion of the review as well. Having access 24 hours a day is nice to know if you ever need help with your vaporizer. Nobody’s perfect though and 2009 saw a decline in satisfaction with the device. This was due to a batch of bad batteries, which were subsequently recalled to fix the problem. Also, there were some issues with shipping speed of supplies, which is something to take into account.

The final factors we will consider are in the areas of cost and value. High quality materials are what Blu Cigs are known for to allow daily use with minimal downtime for maintenance and stand up to years of use.

When you consider that this level of quality is available in a mid-range priced vaporizer, it’s obvious what a value it is. Like it’s competitors, the starter kit is reasonable priced. Unlike it’s competitors, replacement supplies are a bit on the expensive side. But if you’re going to spend money on a quality product like the Blu Cigs, it’s worth it to avoid shoddy engineering on the part of others. Along with the other factors noted in this article, this is something to keep in mind when choosing the vaporizer that’s right for you. Hope you enjoyed this Blu Cigs review.

How I Gave Up Tobacco with Alternative Smoking via Electronic Cigarettes

When I first started out trying new methods to alternative smoking there were the familiar nicotine gum, patches, and those God awful nicotine inhalers that were just plain silly.  My goal was not to quit smoking but to not do it as much due to it’s proven bad health habits.  However nothing really satisfied me as the electronic cigarette does, it gave me the almost same experience as smoking a regular (analog) tobacco cigarette.  I inhale and poof, there is smoke (which is water vapor) and a flavor that is so uncanny to tobacco it still freaks me out.  Was not expecting this when I got my first electronic cigarette starter kit from Green Smoke, I thought it was going to be a joke.

Green Smoke Atomizer Inside The Nicotine Cartridge Is Revealed!

What does the Green Smoke atomizer look like?

Ok, so electronic cigarette curiosity got the best of me.  Seeing how the Blu Cigs atomizer looks so sophisticated I wondered what the Green Smoke atomizer looked like and how it worked, I mean they are disposable and would seem silly if they are made the same.

As you can see in the video I took that nicotine cartridge apart and revealed what the big deal is.  One measly wire surrounded by a filter soaked in flavored nicotine liquid.  Although it does not look like much it sure does the job as you have seen how much “eSmoke” Green Smoke produces.  Perhaps this is the reason it is harder to puff and take a drag on than it’s competitor, Blu.

It seems silly to throw these cartridges away, they can be reused with eJuice or eLiquid.  This way you don’t have to worry about nicotine cartridges arriving in the mail dry or stale, you can add your own eLiquid at it’s freshest level! Continue Reading

Alternative Smoking: Coffee and Electronic Cigarettes?

Coffee and cigarettes has always been a daily staple for many decades letting folks of all different kinds relax and unwind while either preparing for what the day may bring or an evening with friends pondering the days events at a local coffee shop.

With these alternatives to smoking cigarettes, coffee and electronic cigarettes go hand and hand too.  With no smoking bans, you can smoke indoors in the local bar or pub and even at the coffee shop on the corner.  By now you know ecigarettes offer the same taste and feel of real “analog” cigarettes without the nasty stuff that goes along with them (smoke smell, carcinogens, etc).

So what flavors of coffee and e-cigarettes blend well with each other?  For me personally I like the traditional tobacco flavored nicotine cartridges and a good cup of bold coffee with Amaretto flavored cream when I am at home.  Continue Reading
