Carina over at Blu got in touch to see if I wanted to review their new line of Blu flavour that have just come out, and although the Blu range would not be my normal every day set up, I'm always keen to test out new starter kits and flavours, for the newer Vapors, as well as the more advanced set ups that I Vape on now.
About Blu
How we came to be, and what we're about
We’re just like you so we know what you want and need: simple, reliable, quality products that easily fit into your day-to-day routine. The road most travelled isn’t your style. You work hard to forge your own path, that’s what blu stands for: the individual. We know that you look forward to the time where you can let loose and just be yourself, so we make sure that when you arrive, you’re not disappointed.
Long before “Vaping” was a word in the Oxford dictionary, we were smokers dreaming of a life without the negatives of ash or lingering odors. Our desire to explore alternatives, adventure without boundaries and our right to self-expression fueled our drive to introduce our first innovation to the world.
Since being founded in 2009, your personal experience remains at the heart of everything we do. We consistently push ourselves to take a great product and make it better by paying attention to your input. Your feedback is the compass for our next direction. We’re proud to be the pioneers of our category and work hard to exceed expectations every time. Like all great brands, we don’t ride the waves of culture, we make them.
As well as three of their latest flavours, Carina over at the outreach team at Blu also sent out one of their Blu Pro Kits, to allow me to try out along side their ejuice, as I have found in the past these type of beginner juices, are best Vaped in the devices they are designed for, and normally the specific flavour profile, is best recreated in the clearomiser style device, and wouldn't necessarily have its optimum flavour, when Vaped in the more advanced set.
Blu Pro Kit.
The pro kit priced at just under £15 is great value for a starter kit, and apart from the juice includes everything your going to need to get Vaping.
In the box you get,
1 x Blu Pro Battery
1 x Blu Pro Clearomiser
1 x Blu charging cable.
The Blu Pro kit features
- Top-filling clear window clearomiser for easy refilling
- Long-lasting battery for optimal use between charging
- Indicator lighting that notifies you of your charge level
The Blu Pro 1100mah Battery comes fully charged and ready to use,
Five clicks on the fire button, which is located on the main body of the device, and the Blu Pro is turned on. When is it on, the fire button will flash three times, along with the power indicator located on the base of the device.
The body of the Blu Pro is finished in a stylish matt black, almost rubberised none slip finish, which feels nice in the hand.
Just next to the fire button, is the micro USB socket, which allows you to charge your Blu Pro, when the battery gets low.
The battery indicator is located on the base of the device, and the changing level of LED will indicate the level of charge remaining in you Blu Pro.
The Blu Pro kit comes with a Clearomiser included in the kit, which simple screws onto the top of the battery. Once in place you can unscrew the mouth piece, to gain access to the tank. Which hold approximately 2ml of ejuice. Which filled around the rim of the opening. Your ejuice level can be viewed through the Clearomiser window in the side.
When you first fill the tank you need to allow it to stand for a few minutes to allow the ejuice to fully soak into the cotton, surrounding the coil.
Performance.
For a starter kit, the Blu Pro performance well, with very restricted air Flow, it delivers a restricted Mouth to lung inhale. With a nice level of flavour, and a surprisingly thick dense Vapour production. This restricted air Flow, suits perfectly the transformation from smoking to Vaping. Creating more of a smoking sensation.
Eliquids selection,
Blu kindly sent out three of there newest flavours from their range for me to try.
BLU® VANILLA CRÈME E-LIQUID FLAVOUR
-Inspired by the smooth, creamy flavour of vanilla.- -Crafted to be not too strong, not too sweet.
Our Vanilla Crème flavour is designed to be deliciously sultry, inviting and lightly aromatic for a taste that'll perfectly complement your relaxation time. Made in the U.S.A. with domestic and imported ingredients: vegetable glycerine, propylene glycol, flavourings, water and nicotine.
My Thoughts - A smooth Vape, with a mid level of flavour, you can defiantly taste the vanilla, on a creamy base layer, with slight hints of sweet Tobacco simmering in the back ground.
BLU® CARAMEL CAFÉ E-LIQUID FLAVOUR
-Combination of warm, indulgent taste
- -Inspired by buttery caramel layered with fresh espresso
Indulge your sweet tooth with smooth, creamy flavour crafted for the taste of buttery caramel, layered with hints of espresso. Made in the U.S.A. with domestic and imported ingredients: vegetable glycerine, propylene glycol, flavourings, water and nicotine.
My thoughts - slightly stronger flavour than the Vanilla, without been too overpowering. A nice creamy Caramel, layered over a mild coffee background, quite a pleasing Vape.
BLU® BERRY SWIRL E-LIQUID FLAVOUR
Flavours inspired by a fresh berry smoothie
- Crafted with strawberry, raspberry and blueberry notes
Treat your taste buds to the taste of blended berries and cream. With strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry flavours, the taste of the Farmer’s Markets’ ripe and juicy berries is just a puff away. Made in the U.S.A. with domestic and imported ingredients: vegetable glycerine, propylene glycol, flavourings, water and nicotine.
My thoughts - a nice Berry blend, quite a mild fruit infusion, with sweet Blueberry notes on the exhale. A nice all day vape.
Conclusion.
As far as starter kits go, Blu seem to have it covered, the Blu Pro delivers a nice amount of vapour, with a mouth to lung Airflow, with a nice selection of well flavoured juices.
