Created exclusively for blu by Johnson Creek, their flavors use only 5 ingredients (6 ingredients in cartridges containing nicotine), yet deliver maximum flavor. All blu cartridges are propylene glycol-free and are made in the U.S.

Blu's variety

Blu Cigs likes to keep things simple when it comes to their products. They only sell 2-piece cig-a-like devices and disposables and they offer a choice of four e-cig starter kits. All of their kits come with a Portable Charging Case that is in the shape of cigarette pack and some even offer social features to create an ice-breaker between ecigarette users. They offer seven flavors to choose from and four nicotine levels.

Former pack-a-day smoker, I discovered electronic cigarettes back in 2011. Since then vaping has slowly turned into my hobby and my full time job. I’ve tested hundreds of e-cigarettes and mods across the years and constantly used my knowledge and experience to help others make the switch. I’m passionate about technology, I enjoy reading and I love big flavorful clouds.
