Compare Vapes: Which is the Best Vape for You by blu

Navigating the best vape devices on offer nowadays can seem overwhelming. We know you’re super busy, and we want to make your choice as easy as possible. So, we’ve dug into the benefits of each of our blu vapes – both disposables and reusables - so you can get the right one for you.

Let’s dive in and look at the differences between our rechargeable vapes:

• blu bar kit
• blu 2.0
• blu PRO

and our disposable vapes:
• blu bar 1000
• blu bar 600

Here, we’ll compare the flavours, design, charging, and general usability of each device so you can decide which one is best for you.

BLU BAR KIT POD VAPE

BLU BAR KIT USABILITY

Blu bar kit offers up to 1000* puffs with all the intensity of flavour that you get in blu bar disposables but in a rechargeable vape. So, you can use the same device again and again.

The blu bar kit device also features many of the other benefits of blu bar 1000 including the translucent mouthpiece so you can check how much liquid is left in your pod and the security lock, so you’ll never have to worry about it getting into the wrong hands.

Simple to use, being a pod vape, with blu bar kit you can switch flavours as often as you wish since you don’t have to pour any e-liquids into a clearomiser.

• Pod vape
• Rechargeable
• Intense flavours
• Switch flavours in seconds
• Safety lock
• Available in various colours

Find out more in our Guide to Blu Bar Kit.

BLU POD FLAVOURS

Blu pods are new and available in packs of two 1.9ml pods or as part of the blu bar kit, which includes a device and a flavour pod.

The blu bar kits are currently available in Pineapple and Cherry, and as blu bar pods in Watermelon Ice, Blueberry Sour Razz, Pineapple and Cherry, with more flavours coming soon.

These vape pods have the same flavour intensity as blu bar disposable vapes, thanks to the latest mesh coil technology that we call Blu Flavour Tech.

Unlike our refillable vape, blu PRO, which takes pourable e-liquids, the beauty of vape pods is that you can switch flavours in seconds.

Simply click the pod into place at the top of the device and once charged, you’re all ready to go!

Since you don’t have to pour the e-liquid yourself, pod vapes are known as closed vape devices. Please note that blu pods are not compatible with the blu 2.0 device.

If you’re looking for a rechargeable pod vape with intense flavours, this could be the one for you.

HOW TO CHARGE BLU BAR KIT

Charging your blu bar kit device is quick and easy. Each blu bar kit is shipped with a device that is partially charged, but we recommend charging it fully before using it. Here’s how to do it:

• Remove the silicon plug from the top and bottom of your chosen flavour pod and click it into place.

• If the device is locked, you’ll need to unlock it before use by locating the lock button found on the bottom of the device and pressing it quickly five times until the LED light flashes. Then, simply inhale using the mouthpiece and the device will begin to produce vapour.

• To lock the device, press the lock icon on the base of the device five times in quick succession. The device will flash three times in succession to confirm it is locked.

The blu bar kit device has a USB-C port. It does not come with a charging lead, because let’s face it, we’ve all got more than one already!

BLU 2.0 POD VAPE

BLU 2.0 USABILITY

The beauty of the blu 2.0 reusable vape device is in its simplicity. Once charged, all you need to do is click in a liquidpod and you’re ready.

Fancy a new taste? Swapping your pod out couldn’t be easier, with no need for cleaning between liquidpods, risk of accidentally mixing flavours, or spilling any of your e-liquid.

• Pod vape
• Rechargeable
• Subtler flavours
• Switch flavours in seconds

Find out more about how to use blu 2.0.

BLU 2.0 FLAVOURS

Blu 2.0 liquidpods are available in packs of two 1.9ml pods and come in a broader range of flavours than disposables, including classic Golden Tobacco and Polar Menthol, plus a variety of fruity flavours including Strawberry Mint and Blueberry Ice.

They’re available in both 9mgml/18mg/ml nicotine strengths and each flavour is made with nic salts for a more satisfactory vape. These pods have subtler flavours than the more intense blu bar pods or disposable vapes.

The blu 2.0 has a magnetic lock to keep your pod in place. Simply insert your chosen flavour pod into the device until it clicks into place. Please note blu 2.0 pods are only compatible with the blu 2.0 device.

If you’re looking for a reusable pod vape with less intense flavours, this could be the one for you.

HOW TO CHARGE YOUR BLU 2.0

Charging your blu 2.0 is simple. Each blu 2.0 device is shipped partially charged, but we recommend charging it fully before using. Here’s how to do it:

• Unfold the attached USB-C cord from the pack and plug it into a USB-compatible charging port.

• Connect the blu closed device to the USB-C cord with the charging contacts properly aligned.

• Once your device begins charging, the red light will flash on and off when the battery is from 0-20%, the yellow light will flash when the battery is from 21-35%, and the blue light will flash when the battery is from 36-100%.

Once the device is fully charged, the battery will display a solid blue light for five minutes before turning off. This should take around 45 minutes.

BLU PRO REFILLABLE VAPE

BLU PRO USABILITY

The blu PRO is slightly different to the pod vapes as it’s a refillable e-cigarette with a clearomiser into which you pour your e-liquid. This is known as an open vape device because it opens for you to refill it yourself.

The blu PRO offers plenty of versatility including a refillable flavour tank with a transparent window so you can see how much e-liquid you have left. Once fully charged and filled with e-liquid, you’ll have enough charge to last for a full day’s vaping (based on average usage levels).

• Refillable vape
• Rechargeable
• 10ml bottles
• Longest battery life

Find out more about how to use blu PRO.

BLU PRO FLAVOURS

The refillable nature of the blu PRO means that, once charged, you can use one of our blu PRO e-liquid flavours to refill it. E-liquids for blu PRO come in individual 10ml bottles in a wide range of flavours including classic Golden Tobacco, Menthol and Blueberry, and in a choice of 9mg/ml/18mg/ml nicotine strengths.

To fill your clearomiser, (where liquid converts to vapour) simply unscrew the mouthpiece from the top, put down a paper towel, and carefully fill the outside section of the clearomiser to just below the clear window before screwing the device back together. Once switched on, you're ready to start vaping.

If you’re looking for a vape that you can refill yourself, this could be the one for you.

HOW TO CHARGE YOUR BLU PRO

Charging your blu PRO™ takes a little longer but it is just as simple. Follow these steps:

• Plug the USB charging cable into a compatible device or USB socket, then plug the charger into the port on the side of the blu PRO.

• The light on the charger will glow red and the tip of the blu PRO™ will flash, showing it’s started charging. To fully charge will take around four hours.

• Once it’s fully charged, the light on the charger will turn blue. This should take around four hours in total.

BLU BAR DISPOSABLE VAPE

BLU BAR DISPOSABLE USABILITY

Vaping doesn’t get much easier than blu bar 1000. First, choose your flavour or colour and to start vaping, simply remove the plastic tip on the mouthpiece and the sticker located on the bottom, then unlock, and you’re ready to go!

Like blu bar kit, blu bar 1000 features a security lock so you’ll never have to worry about anyone else using it. The mouthpiece on the blu bar 1000 is also semi-translucent which means you can see the liquid level so shouldn’t have any last minute panic about running out.

Once you have finished, simply dispose of your vape responsibly by removing the battery and either take it to your local recycling centre or send it back to us free of charge and we’ll do it for you!

• Disposable vapes
• Intense flavours
• No need to charge or fill
• Safety lock
• Available in various colours

As blu bar 1000 is disposable, you don’t need to charge it before use – it comes ready to vape – and it can’t be charged.

Blu bar disposables are for those vape-on-the-go situations where you have no time to plug the device in first. Find out more about blu bar 1,000.

BLU BAR DISPOSABLE FLAVOURS

Our disposable vapes, blu bar 1000 and blu bar 600, come in a choice of intense fruity flavours including Strawberry Ice, Grape, and Mint and either up to 600 or 1000 puffs depending on which device you choose.

Every blu bar disposable comes pre-filled with 2ml of 20mg/ml nicotine, so you simply choose your flavour and you’re ready to go.

If you’re looking for a disposable vape in intense fruity flavours, this could be the one for you.

WHICH IS THE BEST VAPE FOR YOU?

Only you can decide which vape device is right for you, but we hope this guide has helped. As we have seen, the blu bar disposable is simple to use and designed to start vaping straight away, but it can’t be re-filled, and each device should be disposed of responsibly after use.

blu bar kit and blu 2.0 are also both easy to set up, and can be charged and used again, with easy pod switching between flavours.

The blu PRO is a bit more hands-on and a lot of vapers like this. It can be re-charged and re-filled and has the longest battery life of all the blu devices.
Here’s a simple vape comparison so you can see the differences between each of our vape devices at a glance.

Can’t decide on just one? You don’t need to - you could have a mix of different devices, so you’ll always have a vape to match your mood, and be able to try all the flavours!
