Electronic Cigarettes by Blu have quickly become one of the fastest growing and most popular brands of e-cigarettes on the market today. There are several factors for this rapid rise in popularity.
Blu was one of the first brands of e-cigarettes reviewed by the ElectronicCigarettesReviews.net review team and has proven to be a favorite of consumers throughout the US and abroad.
Some of the reasons for the popularity of Blu E-Cigs are:
Blu is economical – The Blu Electronic Cigarette starter kit can be purchased for $59.95. Many people that have never tried e-cigarettes choose Blu because there isn’t a huge upfront investment. The starter kit comes with 1 pack that holds 5 cartridges and charges your batteries on the go, 2 electronic cigarette batteries, 1 atomizer, 1 wall charger, 1 USB charger, a variety pack of 25 cartridges in the strength of your choice, a 30-day money back guarantee and a one year warranty for the initial investment of $59.95. Many e-cigarette starter kits are twice as expensive as Blu!
Blu has great flavors – The flavors that Blu offers include Classic Tobacco, Magnificent Menthol, Java Jolt, Vivid Vanilla and Cherry Crush. Several consumers just prefer the taste of Blu E-Cigarettes over their competitors. Several of our review team members really enjoyed the flavor of the Java Jolt cartridge. Also, several consumer reviews tout the Classic Tobacco flavor because it is so similar to smoking a “traditional” tobacco cigarette.
Blu batteries can be charged on the go – This is perhaps one of the biggest advantages of Blu Electronic Cigarettes. Blu e-cigs come with a carrying case that charges the e-cigarette batteries while you are on the go. Each of the batteries can be recharged up to 6 times. This means you’ll never be left without an e-cig when you really want one.
Blu Electronic Cigarettes have a blue LED light at the end of the e-cigarette that lights up when you take a puff. Some e-cigs have an orange light instead and this can really make the e-cig look too much like a tobacco cigarette, which isn’t a good thing when you are puffing an e-cigarette in a bar or restaurant.
These are just a few of the reasons that Blu has garnered so much attention and respect by e-cigarette smokers everywhere. With the low initial cost for the starter kit and the great flavors available, it is no wonder that this brand of e-cig is a favorite of both our review team and consumers that have reviewed Blu.

I finally got my white kit today! I love this things so far! I’ll post my further findings soon!
@ Amy
It said that they were back ordered when I ordered mine, but my starter kit arrived in like 2 weeks. I don’t know if I was a fluke or maybe they just say it will take longer just in case?
@ Amy
The website does actually state that the product is on backorder right from the order screen. Patience grasshopper.
I ordered my black starter kit on 02/15/10. On 02/19/10 I used their LIVECHAT to find out why my order was still processing. He stated processing takes up to 72 hours. I reminded him it had been over 72 hours. He said that the black starter kits were on back order. I reminded him they were not at the time of my order (at the time it was the white ones that were). He said there was nothing he could do but reassure me that my order would be sent on 02/22/10. On 02/22/10 I logged into my account and it showed my order was canceled. I called this time and she stated there was a “glitch” in the system and the order was still going to be sent the following morning by the manager on 02/23/10. On 02/23/10 I logged in again and found my order to still show as canceled. I called again and the woman said that it looked like “maybe” a credit card problem. I sighed and explained all of the above and that my credit card should not be the issue. She read over my account and said she agreed- there was a “glitch” in the system and she would forward all to management in the morning and the would call me by noon with a tracking number. SO….ordered on the 02/15/10 (one live chat, 2 phone calls) hopefully sent on 02/24/10??? We shall see. SO far…no too happy.
took a week and a half to ship but has been worth the price performs as good if not better than models twice the cost.
Try Smoke Tip – they are reasonably priced and similar to Green Smoke
I was going to purchase Blu, but their website states both starter kits are on backorder for FOUR WEEKS! I am ready to do this now, and want a recommendation on who else to try…Green Smoke is too expensive. Thanks!
I ordered my blu cig 8 days ago and just got it today shipping was not good and I never had a problem with costumer service like many others have but quality of the equipment is good not as much vapor as I would like ( seems to be hit and miss) sometimes I get alot and sometimes I get very little. tase is good. everall I’ve had a good experience with this company lets hope it stay that way
Finally got through to blucigs. They stated it was now the white that is on back order and they have black in stock. I originally ordered one of each color and that was holding up my order. I cancelled my original order and re-ordered just a black kit. Was told it should ship within 48-72 business hours and shipping takes about 3 days. If I don’t see it by Feb 12, they are going to be crossed off my list for good. I asked how many people return their kits wanting a refund, I was told about 5% of the people did not like it. True or not? I don’t know, but I will be back with my review of this ecig when it finally arrives.
@Nicky
They were probably held up by the FDA, they’ve been seizing some shipments of ecigs.
@New Guy
how the heck did you get yours so fast! I ordered mine on jan 12th and now its feb 3 and its still processing!
I placed my order over 4 weeks ago. When you call and talk to anyone you get the same answer. Order not shipped yet. Web site says ships within 48 hrs. (EDITED) I have canceled my order. What if you run out of refills and it takes 4 weeks or more to get your order. I would not order from this company.
Note from ADMIN: Nicky’s comment has been edited to provide room for other reviews. She also added her chat with customer service that confirmed her order not being shipped yet due to high demand of the particular product she had ordered. I have not heard of shipping problems like these since back in October, this is a strange case, but I’ll do some investigation of my own
I am a heavy smoker, and was looking for an alternative. I was intrigued with the look and cost of Blu Cigs so I placed an order. Since the black items were on back order, I went with the white. It took a over a week and my order was not processed. I had called 5 times throughout the week and nobody gave me any clear answers as to why my order was delayed. Finally, after 8 days of waiting, I was informed that they has JUST run out of the White starter kits. However, if my order had been processed on time, I would have my order. Customer service was of no help whatsoever. I immediately cancelled my order. I dont care how good they may be, but there are plenty of other brands with much better, and competent customer support. My advice is to look elsewhere for your ecigs.
@Sarah
Sarah, when you experienced the gittery-ness and nausea after smoking the e-cig, how much food did you have in your system? I ask because I just bought one and it did make me slightly light-headed after a few drags. Not near what you described but it was enough for me to notice. But this was in the morning and I had no food in me, just coffee. Later I puffed on it some more with a full stomach and it wasn’t as bad but still there a little bit. I wonder if the amount of nicotine it says a ‘light’ should have is accurate, or if it’s too concentrated. I think I’m going to order the non-nicotine cartridges and see how that works out. Because I still think an e-cig is a good idea and I don’t want to give up on it, but the light-headedness did creep me out. I just don’t see how a regular smoker could possibly be bothered by the amount of nicotine the e-cig supposedly contains.
Ive been useing my blu for about 4 weeks now .i really enjoyed it at first but it seems to be somewhat unreliable.one cart might work great for a day then the next time i change out it might poop out on me after one use.also i noticed if you push out the cup inside of the cart one might be small and the next one bigger(thats both comeing from the same pack of 5)carts just arnt consistent. ive just started dripping my own e juice into my blu carts and im getting much better vapor now.this is a good deal and great for people on the good like me but,if your gonna get one,I say ditch there prefilled carts and just drip your own.
i like the product very much! but, my e-cig batteries are not lasting longer than 1 flavor cartridge, and i find that i’m re-charging batteries in the blu packs daily,as many as 3 a day. the flavors are GREAT! i smoked ultra-lights and ordered those, i found them to be much milder than ultra-light regualr cigs, my next order will be for “Lights”. i smoked a pack and a half to 2 pks of regualar cigarettes, i seem to be going through these rather quickly, so i’m not sure yet if they will save me money. my only issues so far are battery life and cartridge life, one e-cig seems to last me about an hour or 2 at best, i don’t know if this is normal. blu-cigs should come out with 100’s(bigger battery) and longer cartridge life. the blu-packs should have MORE places to store “complete-e-cigs” on the go. i would use the blu-packs like a traditional cigarette pack, but it doesn’t have enough storage, so instead i use an empty cigarette pack to carry them around. but all in all as far as marketing “Blu-Cigs” are CLASSY and the product is very good!
I have a green smoke kit, and I’ve tried a firends NJOY, but never a Blu, I really wanted a e-cig w/o the red tip. The look and price were sure cool, but the reast could have been a lot better. Not a bad kit foryour first one.
Ok. I have been smoking for 10 years. Got this because it seemed like a great idea and had tons of great reviews. Here is my experience. I have TWICE had the nicotine blow into my mouth, which was disgusting and left me jittery and nauseated for hours. The smoke production is very little. And after 2 to 3 puffs I would get incredibly dizzy and feel like I had had a few drinks. The idea of an e cig is fantastic, but my personal experience with it has not been so great. I ordered the lights which is what I have always smoked, and so when I get all dizzy after 2 to 3 puffs and have to stop “smoking” then I feel very less than satisfied. A whole regular cigarette doesn’t leave me feeling so bad. Eh, try it. If it works for you, great! If not, I’m about to find out how good their money back guarantee is!
I have tried several times to quit smoking over 10years. I ordered the blu and received it with 10 days of ordering it. It truly works I have not smoked in 3 weeks. I don’t even want or grave a real cig. This product is the best way to step down and slowly quit.
I really like the sleek look to this thing. It could produce a little bit more smoke, but seeing how it’s not actually burning anything it’s pretty good! Great price, I’m gonna save a lot of tobacco products if I keep using this 50% of the time1
This products is great. Cheapest of the major brands, has a few minor drawbacks, like it cold produce a bit more vapor and be a little easier to hit, but over all it’s an awesome product. I got my kit within 96 hours of ordering.
Thanks to Blu I quit smoking my Camels for good. This is truly a life saver for me!
@Susan Toddle
yeah it sucks that the black ones are on 3 week back order.
I ordered it anyway… I can wait.
Hi Melissa, can I ask how long it took to get yours? And did you get the black or white pack? I’m sooooo excited to get mine and it’s been “processing” for three days. Thanks!@Melissa Keim
I RECEIVED MY STARTER KIT AROUND NOON ON 1-21-2010. I HAVE NOT HAD A REGULAR CIG SINCE 5:30pm 1.21.2010 AND I DONT WANT ONE. I LOVE THIS THING ITS GREAT AND MY HUSBAND, WHO I ALSO ORDERED A STARTER KIT, AGREES WITH ME. HE HAS NOT HAD A REGULAR CIG SINCE AROUND 1:30 – 2:00pm 1-21-2010. I RECOMEND BLUCIG TO ANYONE THEY ROCK!!!!!!!
Blu electronic cigarettes are the best on the market. I have tried a whole bunch of them, but was most impressed by Blu. There is a wide range of flavors to choose from, and the actual device looks real cool
SMOKED ALMOST TWO PACKS A DAY – USING BLU FOR LESS THAN A WEEK AND ALREADY DOWN TO 10 “REAL” CIGS A DAY – WORKS GREAT – SOMETIMES WISH THE “HIT” FELT A LITTLE STRONGER. BUT OVERALL LOVE IT..PATRICIA N.J.
Only the black is on back order. I ordered the white as a result and received in one week. The black looks cool but in the end I didn’t feel it was worth the wait. The product is great. I had trouble setting up at first and they had a representative on one live chat that walked me through it.
Just got my blu starter today. This is my first ecig.I smoked for over 40 years 1.5 pack a day..I wish they had something this then. I think This will help me to cut my old habit smoking regular stuff.I have did a lot of research on this and few people I know tell me they like them.
Feels like the real thing.Shipping took 4 days I never tried to quit smoking And using the blu I dont have to quit…
Just ordered the Blu starter kit last night(this morning to be exact). I did a little research beforehand and Blu seemed like a no-brainer as far as price and quality are concerned. After i placed my order, and i did even more research, i realized that there are many more models of e-cigs available that are in a similar price range but supposedly better quality(such as: better vapor production(this is the main criticism as far as Blu Cigs are concerned)…and honestly that’s the only negative criticism I’ve encountered. Obviously, people have their own preferences, when it comes to anything, whether that be: alcohol, tobacco, food, anything really. Once i receive my package i will post again to provide my own opinion. Obviously, i’m not the ultimate source of knowledge when it comes to this product, but i will provide an honest opinion about how well these e-cigs(Blu) compare to an actual smoking experience. From what i hear Blu Cigs are horrible when it comes to shipping time(i ordered the white color) so i will share my own experience as far as shipping time is concerned. Some receive their packages quicker than others. Right now the black color is back-ordered; hence, the reason i ordered the white color. Anyhow, once my kit is received i will provide a review free of bias. Until then…do your thing. A real review without dollars or bias will be posted shortly…i hope.
1-15-10 I just ordered my first starter kit. When it arrives and I am able to sample I will be sure to post all comments.
I like the blu light because I used to have NJOY and a lot of managers and employees when I smoked the NJOY would tell me “To put that out, there’s no smoking in here” – I haven’t been bother yet with my Blu!
Just found ur site…..I’ve used Blu for the past 6 mos and can’t say enough good things about this ecig. I’ve tried all the flavors and there Menthol is the best I’ve tried…tastes just like a menthol cigarette.
Rec Bu Cigs Jan 4 2010, fast shipping, with all the reviews I have read I was a little concerned with the shipping time but WOW rec within 6 days. After charging them up I was very surprised at the throat hit (which is what I like)rec. I have been a smoker since I was 18 now 45 and this is the best product, I haven’t smoked for 1 week now and going strong. Thanks big BLU.
This is the healthiest smoke I’ve had in a long time. The Shipment came to me in 4 days instead of 5 days. I would say that is pretty darn fast. The cost for it all is just wonderful. I mean with a pack of cigarettes I could smoke in a whole day. I just cant believe it took me all day to smoke just one cartridge. I mean with one carton it has 25 cartridges in it. So I guess that would be 25 days of smoke with no refill pretty good for me. The first one I tried was the menthol, I thought it would have a little bit more flavor. Its everything I would’ve of hoped for. I give it an A-.
These cigs are fantastic! They really surprised me. I have tried all the other stop smoking methods–patches, pills, gum and nothing worked. Now I can still smoke without the harmful carcinogens. The tobacco flavor tastes just like a regular cigarette. The vanilla and cherry are great, too. I still have to try the java and menthol. My family is happy that the car, house and my clothes no longer smell like cigarettes.
these are the first ecigs i’ve tried, and i must say they are fantastic. i’ve only been using them for 4 days and i already haven’t felt the need to smoke real cigarettes, even with everyone around me smoking. this was the best purchase i’ve made in a long time.
My 4 month old baby had bronchitus, & his pediatrician said I had 2 quit smoking or go smoke outside & change clothes when I come back in – neither of those ideas sounded too pleasant to me but I knew I couldn’t jeopardize my baby’s lungs any longer. Later that night, I saw an infomercial for SmartSmoker & hit the web to find out more about electronic ciggs. I was immediately attracted to the very cool charger kit that comes with the Blu starter pack. I ordered the starter kit in black (LOVE the blue LED) with an extra carton of menthol. I did this @ 2:30 a.m. & my husband woke up as I was relaying my ccard info & thought I was nuts! Only later the next day did I start to further research the reviews on Blu & got kinda scared @ all the bad reviews it was getting ESPECIALLY on speed of delivery, & I began 2 very much fear that I had made an impulsive mistake. Much 2 my amazement, tho, Exactly 6 days later, my Blu kit was waiting in my mail box! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the ‘Marvelous Menthol’ cartridges, altho I found the Cherry flavor pleasant, but not a favorite. I have been smoking 4 damn close to 20 years, since I was 13, & been a 2 pack a day smoker since my mid 20’s. I have NEVER gone 24 hours without a cigarette in more years than I care 2 count. Thanks 2 Blu, I’m on day 3 without tobacco, & here’s hoping it will last! Unless I have a future problem with re-ordering cartridges, I will be a loyal fan of Blu until the day I can lay it all down completely!
@Ms. Crane hi there, could you tell me some of the better e cigs you have found? thanks
I Ordered my Blu starter kit on Sat(nov 21) and received mine on Nov 28th. One week later!!! I have tried EVERY possible method to quit(Chantix/Inhaler/Gum/Zyban/Patches/etc). I’ve finally come to accept that I really don’t want to “quit” smoking, I love smoking. However, they stink, they are killing you with each puff, and they cost a lot. So when my wife told me about an article regarding e-cigs, I was more than curious. Tried Smoke 51(Smoke Anywhere) and was charged $9.99 and then $89.95 and NEVER received the product. Had to cancel my card and still have gotten my refund!!! SMOKE 51 is a SCAM!!!
Ready to give up, I tried Blu. Tried calling a few time first, just to see if I could actually speak to a “human being”. EVERYTIME I’ve called I’ve spoken to a LIVE PERSON right away. Long story short,,,, absolutely love the product and the satisfaction of feeling like I’m enjoying a good smoke without killing myself. Everything had a price, and this is certainly a price I wish every smoker would pay. I’m not being paid by Blu for saying this either. I gave away all of my smokes before I started Blu, just so I could see if it would really work as a substitute. I have NOT smoked even ONE cigarette since and have NO PLANS on returning to them in the future. All I can say is if you are a tru smoker,,,,,, TRY THIS PRODUCT!!! If you try it, you will most likely LOVE it!!!
One Love fam…
I’ve just got word that Blu is again shipping within days again. The bad starter packs have been weeded out and those customer’s who had purchased them in the past have now been sent their replacements. Feel free to treat Blu how they operated before the recall back in early October.
BLU is BACK on TRACK
I tried one and it was great but they are now taking over 6 weeks just to ship them and they wait till the last min to hit your bank acount if you use debit. horrible shipping time but great product.
I can honest say these are my fav e-cigs out. Good value for price and great flavor, especially liking the menthol.
I like these way better than my old cancer sticks. I feel better and I actually don’t smoke as much as I did before.
My fav is the cherry crush e-cig by Blu. I only smoke when I have a few drinks and this goes great cuz I can have it at the bar and not go outside.
my only complaint is that it took so long to get them delivered. now I just now to order more at a time so I don’t run out and switch back to my old smokes.
I couldn’t kick the habit without e-cigs. Thanks Blu!
I love these. I have smoked a pack a day for over 20 years and never thought an electric cigarette would work for me. But after a few days I have quit buying regular cigarettes. I love that my mouth doesnt taste like a cigarette all the time. I would recommend to anyone.
All my friends like Blu so I thought I would give them a try. I was really surprised that it tasted just like I was smoking a tobacco cigarette. I bought more that very day. I don’t have the usual cigarette smoke smell to my clothes anymore and I think my co-workers are much happier to be around me. Thank you!
I like that I can charge my e-cig while I’m sleeping at night. I tried another brand and had a few occassions where my battery died and I didn’t have a way to charge my e-cig. Now I just grab the charger during the day and charge it at night if I need to.
I live where we have very long, cold winters. Every break I spent out smoking and freezing. Since I was turned on to Blu Electronic Cigarettes, I can stay in and stay warm. I really like the different flavors and the fact that I can get smaller amounts of nicotine in my Blu in case I ever decide to quit.
I love my Newports, smoked em for over ten years. I try the Blu Menthol and got the same taste as my regulars. I’m gonna switch
My favorite thing about Blu cigarettes is that I don’t have to always get a lot of nicotine. I can get Blu in lower levels or even no nicotine at all if I wanted. I can wean myself off nicotine; at least I hope I can. I have tried to quit before but maybe this time I will make it with Blu.
When my state banned smoking in all public places, I was really mad. Now I have the last laugh. I walk anywhere I want thanks to my Blu cigarettes. I can play pool and smoke a Blu and not get kicked out of the bar. Needless to say, I am a lot happier now than before.
I have smoked Clove cigarettes since I started college. I just prefer the taste to the regular tobacco flavor. I tried the Vivid Vanilla and the Cherry Crush. The only problem is that I don’t know which one I like more. So, I decided that I am just going to buy some of each so that I can switch when I want. I love these and recommend them to my friends all the time!
Bought the Vanilla and felt like I was smoking incense. I haven’t tried the other flavors but I wasn’t impressed with the Vanilla. I will probably try the regular flavor though.
To be honest, the Blu e-cigarette is my least favorite that I’ve tried. I have tried a few now and I would say I was least impressed with Blu.
I never dreamed that someone would come up with an idea that would allow us smokers to enjoy a smoke inside a public place ever again. Thank you Blu for creating a battery powered cigarette that is every bit as satisfying as the real thing.
Blu, you made my home life so much more peaceful. My wife was always nagging me to put my cigarettes out, quick flicking ashes and making a mess and to quick dropping the butts in the yard. Since I found Blu and use them at home, my wife is bored with nothing to nag at me about.
I don’t like to smoke in front of my kids. I don’t like to subject them to secondhand smoke and they hate the smell. I tried these hoping that they wouldn’t have to quit smoking all together. Now I can smoke in the house and the car without feeling guilty!
There is nothing better in my opinion than drinking my coffee and having my smoke on the way to work in the car. I have a long commute so I am usually in the car for an hour every morning. The only thing I hate about my smoking habit is the smell of my clothes. When I read about Blu E-Cigarettes, I heard that they had a flavor called Java Jolt. I LOVE IT!! I have it wiht my coffee on the way to work and I don’t smell like an ashtray when I get there. Awesome!!
I heard a lot about Blu from my smoking friends so I decided to try them for myself. I bought a pack of Java Jolt only to be a bit disappointed. I am used to flicking ashes and smashing out butts so it’s a pretty dramatic change. I admit the flavor was fine but I am just not sure that an electric cigarette is right for me.
I’ve tried everything to quit smoking. I know this sounds gross but I even tried chewing tobacco I was so desperate to quit. I found out that Blu offers electronic cigarettes with very low nicotine. I tried it and within a few months, I moved on to the nicotine free Blu. I still smoke them to cure my cravings but I don’t feel as bad because I’m not getting all of those extra chemicals any more.
Wow, I am impressed. I bought my first pack of flavored Blu electronic cigarette today, Cherry Crush. I don’t remember when I enjoy a cigarette more. Way to go Blu and keep up good work!
I like that no one has any idea WHAT I am smoking. Keeps people guessing and me smoking
