E Cig Tips and Tricks

As I’ve been using my Blu Cigs, I’ve picked up a couple of tricks that might be useful for you.

First, at one point I noticed that after loading up a new blu cig cartridge, I wasn’t getting the proper vapor and nicotine hit from the drag. I knew my battery was charged and obviously the cartridge was new. After tinkering a bit, I took the cartridge off and realized the problem. When you load an e-cig cartridge, the atomizer pierces the nicotine receptical. (See the construction of an e-cig here.)  It is covered with a layer of aluminum foil. When I’d pierced the aluminum, the foil stuck to my atomizer, blocking much of the vapor and nicotine from getting through the end of my e-cig. I simply removed the foil, replaced the blu cig cartridge, and all was good in e-cig land.

Another tip I picked up from a friend, is how to get more vapor from the blu cig. Personally, I’ve always smoked light cigarettes, so I don’t have any problem with the amount of nicotine and vapor I get from a light e-cig cartridge. My friend, however, was a heavy full-strenght cigarette smoker and wasn’t completely satisfied with the hit he was getting from his Blu Cig. He told me that by putting a small piece of Scotch tape where the batter and atomizer connect, he was able to draw more vapor from his Blu Cig and get satisfaction.
