But can you vape on a plane?

In-Flight Vaping

There is some murkiness regarding this topic. The Department of Transportation (DOT) hasn’t officially banned passengers from using e-cigs while in flight, but it appears they feel that e-cigs shouldn’t be used in the cabin due to cabin air quality regulations.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has not made an official ruling either. The FAA authorizes each individual carrier to determine whether to allow in-flight vaping.

Business Insider reports that at this time, no major U.S. airline allows the use of e-cigarettes onboard.

Airlines that prohibit in-flight use of e-cigs include:

• American Airlines
• Delta
• JetBlue
• Southwest Airlines
• United

Other airliners may permit in-air use of e-cigs. Because each company may choose its own policy, it’s worth asking your airline what its policy is.

Never use an electronic cigarette without checking with the flight crew as to whether it’s allowed. Why invite any confusion? Ask the flight attendants for permission.

If the flight you’re on allows for the use of e-cigs, it’s a great idea to talk to your fellow passengers before you start enjoying blu™. That way, they’ll know what it is and how it works. You won’t alarm them — and you’re being polite. Everyone wins!

E-Cig Courtesy

In fact, talking to people around you when you use blu eCigs is a great idea—especially when you’re in areas where e-cig use is permitted but traditional cigarette smoking is prohibited. Some people may not know the difference between traditional cigarettes and e-cigarettes. Some may also not understand how an e-cig works and think that you’re smoking a traditional cigarette. Save yourself some hassle, and be upfront about what is going on!

And who knows, you may just make new friends who love blu, too.

Have you enjoyed e-cigs in a place where traditional smokes aren’t allowed? Leave a comment or Tweet us and tell us about it.

blu eCigs® electronic cigarettes create significantly less waste. Electronic cigarettes don’t use up trees that provide fuel to dry tobacco and they don’t use paper to create the cigarette. And they don’t leave behind nasty butts—litter that is not recyclable.

When you’re finished with the cartridge on a reusable e-cig, you can recycle it. That saves a lot of waste from entering your local landfills.

What are the cartridge flavors and strengths?

blu™ cartridges last far longer than traditional cigarettes.

Our original and premium cartridges last about 250 puffs.

Our premium100 cartridges produce about 320 puffs.

That’s a lot of vaping from each e-cig cartridge!

We currently have seven flavors that all come in four different strengths, from 0mg of nicotine (nicotine-free) all the way to and 16mg of nicotine in the cartridges.

Our cartridge flavors include:

• Vivid Vanilla
• Cherry Crush
• Magnificent Menthol
• Classic Tobacco
• Java Jolt
• Pina Colada
• Peach Schnapps

Our nicotine levels include:

• High: Approximately 13-16mg
• Medium: Approximately 9-12mg
• Low: Approximately 6-8mg
• Non-nicotine: 0mg

How can I get the most out of my cartridge?

The amount of puffs you will get from each blu eCigs electronic cigarette varies based on user usage. A user that likes to take long, deep drags to cloud up a car will not get the same results as someone that takes small, light drags. We recommend taking slow draws to get the best vapor production.

Cartridges can be switched out before they are done. It’s totally fine to swap cartridges every few puffs if you want to try all of the flavors. Variety is the spice of life! Or share flavors with your friends to discover your favorite. If you have opened your cartridge—the cap and sticker have been taken off — we don’t recommend leaving it that way for an extended period of time. It’s possible that over the course of a few weeks, the juice can evaporate.

For shorter term storage, you can keep your open cartridges in the pack until they are ready to be used. When stashing open cartridges in the pack, store them with the screws down. This ensures that the juice settles near the atomizer in the cartridge, which will give you a better vaping experience.

How do I know when my cartridge is done?

When a cartridge is empty, it will produce a burnt taste and no longer give off any vapor. When this happens, it’s time to dispose of the cartridge. You can even go to your local recycling facility to dispose of it with other like metals to be environmentally friendly.

Graham Rahal drove the blu eCigs Honda for 71 laps on the track in Brazil. He finished in 19th place, after a strong start. Rahal is optimistic for races going forward, and is happy with the quickness of the car.

Everyone is looking forward to trying again at the Indianapolis 500.

Blu and Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing

Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing (RLL) is co-owned by CBS Late Show host David Letterman, Mi-Jack co-owner Mike Lanigan, and 1986 Indianapolis 500 winner Bobby Rahal. blu eCigs partnered with RLL to sponsor the first three rounds of the IZOD IndyCar Series season. At the race in Long Beach, Florida, they were the primary sponsor for Mike Conway’s entry. Starting with the race in Brazil, blu become the primary partner for Graham Rahal’s entry.

The partnership has been such a success that blu eCigs will increase its involvement in the 97th Indianapolis 500, held over Memorial Day weekend this year. blu will be the major associate sponsor with enhanced branding on the race car.

“We are very pleased with the positive response by fans about blu as an IndyCar primary sponsor,” said Matt Coapman, our VP of marketing. “We saw the use of e-cigarettes throughout the event, including by our own pit crew. This is good for the sport and our brand.”

During the upcoming races, keep an eye out for blu on the track—and why not try a blu eCigs® electronic cigarette while you watch? Everything’s better with blu!

How do flavor cartridges work?

blu eCigs contain e-liquid, or smoke juice, in a cartridge. These flavor cartridges are screwed onto a battery which heats the liquid to the vaporizing point. This flavored vapor is then inhaled, just like you would inhale a traditional cigarette. The cartridge and battery, when combined, are roughly the size of a traditional cigarette.

As compared to traditional cigarettes, premium and original blu™ cartridges contain about 250 puffs per cartridge, and premium100 cartridges contain about 320 puffs. Different levels of nicotine—including a nicotine-free choice—mean you can choose the flavor and nicotine strength that is perfect for you.

Where is the smoke juice made?

blu eCigs® feature proprietary, custom-blended flavor smoke juice. Johnson Creek, a Wisconsin company, makes the juice here in the USA.

What’s in smoke juice?

Johnson Creek blends seven key ingredients to create its signature liquid for blu. Flavor cartridges contain:

• Distilled water
• Nicotine (when applicable)
• FCC grade vegetable glycerin
• Natural flavors
• Artificial flavors
• Citric acid

What flavors are there?

Vivid Vanilla

The scent of aromatic Tahitian Vanilla is blended with the sumptuous flavor of Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla to produce an enticing flavor and scent with just a touch of sweetness.

Cherry Crush
Black cherries, Maraschino cherries, and Bing cherries are combined to create a unique bouquet that is tangy and sweet.

Magnificent Menthol
Peppermint, spearmint, and natural menthol are blended to create a refreshing burst of flavor.

Classic Tobacco
Burley and Brightleaf tobacco flavors are mixed to create a complex, sweet natural flavor reminiscent of traditional cigarettes.

Java Jolt
Medium-roast espresso beans inspire the unmistakable smooth flavor and enticing scent of fresh coffee.

Pina Colada
Cayenne pineapple and coconut milk are whipped into a tropical taste and the scent of island breeze.

Peach Schnapps
Flavors of fresh Clingstone peaches and aromas of spice intermingle to create a smooth cocktail of taste.

1. Check Your Battery

If your e-cig doesn’t seem to be working, the first thing to do is check the battery to see if it is sufficiently charged. An easy way to check is to place the cig in your mouth backwards—with the blue LED side in your mouth. With the blue side in your mouth, blow into the e-cig. This activates the battery. If the blue light comes on, your battery is working and doesn’t need to be charged. If it doesn’t light up, try charging the battery.

2. Check Your Cartridge
If you’ve checked that your battery is charged, and nothing is coming out of your e-cig, your cartridge might need some help. Take the cartridge in your hand, with the thread side facing down. Tap it forcefully on a hard surface, like a desk. This can help redistribute the some juice for optimal vapor production.

3. Check Your Smoke Juice
If you’re not getting enough flavor from your cartridge, or it doesn’t taste as strong as usual, check your smoke juice. Take the cartridge, place it between the palms of both of your hands held together. Then rub your hands back and forth really fast, like you’re starting a camp fire or warming your hands. Rub the cartridge back and forth several times to get any juice that may be stuck in the top to come down to the atomizer. This helps you get the most flavor from your cartridge.

4. Check Your Atomizer
If taking a drag on your e-cig feels like it’s taking more effort than it usually does, something may be clogging up the atomizer. It’s possible for a bit of dried smoke juice to clog things up. Take the cartridge, screw it onto the battery, and blow into it. Do not inhale, as you normally would: blow out. This will activate the battery and heat up the cartridge. You should be able to feel it getting warm. Once it gets hot, it should burn off anything that’s clogging it up.

5. Use 24/7 blu eCig Support
If you have any additional questions, email customer support and someone will get back to you ASAP. You can also check out our FAQ page for more information.

ATTENTION: If you enjoy blu eCigs and live in California we are asking that you contact the legislators on the Senate Health Committee to voice your opposition to a newly proposed bill that would ban the use of electronic cigarettes in any public space where smoking is prohibited.

CALL TO ACTION: Please contact the legislators of the Senate Health Committee and tell them:
• You oppose SB648
• Electronic cigarettes should not be treated the same as traditional cigarettes
• Electronic cigarettes produce no tobacco smoke, ash, or odor.
• Banning electronic cigarettes in public spaces would negatively impact your ability to switch from traditional cigarettes to electronic cigarettes
• Your personal story about why you switched to electronic cigarettes

The legislators on the Senate Health Committee can be contacted both by e-mail and using the phone numbers listed below. Not all members have a public email address.

blu eCigs® sponsored the Electric Lounge and invited the hottest up and coming musicians to come out and play. For three days, festival-goers were treated to a sampling of stellar sounds of electronica, indie rock, and dub step—all for free. Adult smokers in the audience were even luckier as they enjoyed free samples of blu electronic cigarettes giving them the freedom to not miss any of the action in the Electric Lounge.

More than 30 acts played the Electronic Lounge, including Shiny Toy Guns DJ featuring Carah Faye, Body Language, Flume, Datsik, and Keys N Krates.

The venue was totally overhauled by blu, and it quickly became the hottest place to be during SXSW. Cutting-edge lighting design and state-of-the-art sound created a perfect showcase for the artists to bring their beats, instruments and showmanship to the table. An interactive social media photo booth captured the crazy moments and the VIP bar kept the party flowing. The lounge was the perfect place for smokers to take five and enjoy a free disposable blu e-cigarette.

Enjoying blu e-cigarettes and –amazing music was the easy part. The only hard part? Making the call: Classic Tobacco or Magnificent Menthol?
