So today I finally got my Blu!  It came in the mail via USPS in a package that was secured up like Fort Knox.  Everything was encased in plastic and it had a “new car” smell to it, very elegant and top notch first impression.  Lets hope all goes as good as the packaging, eh?

25 Free Nicotine Cartridges Coupon

Now this is what drew me in via a Blu Cigs coupon, not only does Blu look cool with a sleek black pen style and a blue LED at the tip, but it’s a steal!  For only $59.95 you get the Blu Cigs starter kit including 2 batteries, 2 atomizers, 2 USB chargers, a rechargeable “pack” that resembles a pack of cigs, 25 flavored nicotine cartridges, and FREE shipping plus these are considered tax free cigarettes (hey, that counts)!

Alternative Smoking With Blu Cigs

Blu Cigs are easy to use, the drag is smooth and you hear some sizzle and popping while your lungs feel the “smoke” just like a real cigarette, even the throat feels

blu!

like your smoking a traditional tobacco cig.  Blu’s “pack” stays charged so when your battery runs out the pack will charge it up to six times before you need to

recharge the pack again.  Also Blu warns you with quick flashes of it’s blue LED if you have puffed more than 6 times in a minute as to help you avoid over consumption of nicotine, I did not know that until I read the instruction manual (yes, I read instruction manuals)

Watch the video for the whole “experience”.  I tried the “Jumping Java” flavor first, was expecting coffee but was hit with a strong taste of beer!  Mind you I like beer, but not what I was expecting. 

I will be doing a Green Smoke vs Blu Cigs soon, so stay tuned…

A very popular gadget is gaining momentum and it is called the electronic cigarette. There are a lot of different manufactures and distributors of the battery operated device that potentially offers alternatives to smoking the standard tobacco cig. Of course we are all well aware of the hazards of smoking tobacco but continue to puff away anyhow. Some blame the addiction to nicotine but I will be honest and will say I enjoy smoking, although not happy and very aware of the health problems that they have been proven to cause.

==> Green Smoke

Today we have alternatives to smoking cigarettes with some silly products like the nicotine gum which taste like a minty moldy tree and a hideous patch to deliver a nicotine jolt.  There are more products that will help you quit your addiction to cigarettes but none really offer an alternative to smoking except the electric cigarette. Now you can do more than simulate smoking, you can actually smoke, but without the smoke. Sounds strange doesn’t it? Basically a battery operated pen style ecig produces water vapor or fog that resembles tobacco smoke, it even taste and looks like it as I was amazed by this at the first puff. Skeptical was I, enlightened I became.

Electronic cigarette smoking uses a battery to engage an atomizer when you inhale to turn the liquid in the optional multi-flavored nicotine cartridge into a vapor that appears as smoke, it is thick and white and bellows out of your lungs as if you took a drag on a Marlboro or whatever your poison and there are many great companies selling the e-cigarette.

The electric cigarette has come under fire for containing “anti-freeze” but don’t be fooled!  The ingredient they speak of is the nicotine diluted in propylene glycol or glycerin, both common food additives, read that again “common food additives”.  Even still some companies are starting to use vegetable glycerin as a replacement additive rather than propylene glycol.  The FDA just recently lost a court case blocking distribution of electronic cigs so it seems the balance of power is shifting and there is even the formation of the ecassoc (Electronic Cigarette Association).

So, if you want to try something new and not looking to quit there is an alternative to smoking with electronics cigarettes as they offer many flavors (tobacco, cherry, apple, etc), levels of nicotine, and styles available to suit even the most persnickety smoker.

Recently ordered the Blu Cigs starter kit in black color (cause it looks cool!) and will review it once I get it.  It comes with a rechargeable pack which seems pretty nifty.

Want proof of electric cigarettes cost effectiveness? Well here it is as you Can NOT beat Blu Cigs price, only $59.95 with free shipping AND 25 free nicotine cartridges in a flavor variety pack.  Chose the “ultra lights” nicotine strength as we will see how they compare to my old favs Salem Ultra Lights.

Now this is a friggen deal man, try and beat that fellow e-cigarette competitors!  Hope it lives up to it solid reputation… We’ll see soon as I will make a video review and take some photos also.

However, Green Smoke is better!
