I’m a Vaper at last!
July 24th, 2009
It’s arrived! My package from e-cig.com actually arrived! Those sleek little black batteries and the several boxes of assorted cartridges are all intact and safe in their cute little case. So far, and it’s only been an hour or so, I’m excited! I’m getting good vapor and the included sample cartridges have a nice flavor. Takes a few puffs to get used to it since I’m accustomed to menthol, but I actually find it slightly reminiscent of my duMaurier days. So the journey is finally underway – and I will be keeping you all posted as I try and learn and experience the changes between smoking and vaping. Oh… and if there are any local readers that smoke Number 7 Menthol, I just this morning bought a pack that I don’t think I’ll be needing, and the store won’t take them back (and it was only 1/2 hour!).
So my first thoughts… I have one beef right away. The kit comes with a short and long battery, and with the long battery attached the unit won’t fit in the little case they shipped it with. Minor pain. And the writing on the cartridge boxes that tells you the flavour is TINY! So out came the sharpie and I’ve marked them so I know which box is which.
I was able to draw a few puffs right out of the box so far, and I’m actually even more impressed than I thought I might be. They really do emulate a smoke well. These are the e-cig.com E8 product, which features the disposable atomizer built right into the cartridge, so each new cartridge and flavour is also a new atomizer. Nice if you like to switch around from menthol, to plain, to flu cured, to cherry (the mix I have for this order) and even nicer in that you don’t need to worry about having an atomizer fail while you’re waiting for a replacement to arrive in shipping. I was planning to have 3 on hand just to make sure I didn’t suddenly find myself running to the store for analogs.
It’s way to early yet to say a lot more about these, but I will be tracking the life and use of the E8, as well as my desire for a smoke and will be certain to keep everyone posted. I’m actually… for the first time in a very LONG time, having a puff while sitting at my computer! Fun!
Cheers all!
Happy Vaping!

I am VERY happy to hear that you found a good one that is working well, and even happier to know someone that has actually tried a Blu and has a point of reference. It seems that so many of the ‘reviews’ of e-cigs are marketing hype to drive people to their affiliate links. I PROMISE MY READERS!!! I won’t be an affiliate unless I use, like or know people using the product. I am not re-publishing my Blu affiliate links – even though 20% is VERY attractive. At least until such time as they have all the kinks worked out and I’ve actually received and tried their product (are you listending Jason?!).
Cheers to you my fellow new Vaper! Best always and thanks for sharing your story with us.

Congratulations on finally receiving your ecigs. I received mine 4 and a half days ago and have been smoke free ever since. Ironically, after waiting over 6 weeks for my Blu Cigs to arrive, only to find out I couldn’t order replacement cartridges, I ordered from another company and they arrived in 3 days. Even more incredible is I like them better. They have the disposable atomizer and produce more vapor than Blu.
