BLU Cigs were the thing when they first came out.  As far as electronic cigarettes from the big tobacco industry, Blu took first place.  "Cig-alikes" is a term often used by vapers (electronic cigarette and vape device users from beginners to the most advanced) to describe electronic cigarettes that are shaped or somewhat shaped like traditional tobacco cigarettes (as you can see in the picture above).  The Cherry Crush flavored disposable that I am reviewing here is a cig-alike.

I first tried vaping when cig-alikes were the only electronic cigarette around (now we have eGos and box mods).  Most vapers have gotten into the vaping world with a cig-alike from one brand or another.  I use a Joytech eVic VT as my regular vaping device, but I decided to embark on a journey of trying different cig-alikes out of curiosity and to try and find the one I could use regularly when hitting the bars (or if it's an emergency).  Because Blu was a popular brand, I'd give it a shot.  The first flavor I tried was the cherry crush disposable.

The top things e-cig users look for in these devices are battery life, taste/flavor, draw (how much resistance the user is met with in sucking on the thing), and vapor/cloud production.  I found the battery life on this disposable to be very good.  At the average price of $10 for a Blu disposable, one would expect the battery to have power and last. Blu delivers on this expectation.  I could vape for about a day and half on this with medium-heavy use.  I give battery life 4.5 out of 5 stars.

The taste/flavor of this is decent.  Out of all the cherry flavored e-cigs and e-liquids I have tried, Blu does have the best, in my opinion.  The cherry flavor in this one is a little sweet but it is not too sweet.  And it most certainly is not sour by any means.  I dock a star off the taste rating because you can get some draws from this thing where the flavor can be a bit muted.  While vapor production will be pretty consistent, flavor will be mostly, but not always, consistent.  Overall flavor/taste rating is 4 out of 5 stars.

The draw, another thing e-cig users look for, is also very good.  The old Blu disposables had a lot of resistance when you took a drag on them.  The newer Blu disposables have corrected this problem.  On this one, the draw is smooth and even.  It's easy to take a drag on this one and you don't have to feel like you're trying to suck an ice cube up through a straw.  The throat hit is lacking quite a bit, but this can mostly satisfy those cigarette cravings.  The Blu disposables have one of the best draws I have ever found from a cig-alike product.  To the draw, I give a rating of 5 out of 5 stars.

Vapor production is yet another topic not to be ignored in this review.  What I mean by vapor production is how much vapor this produces per average drag.  I've found vapor production from this thing to be almost excellent (but nowhere near perfect).  It's very consistent (with very few drags lacking) in production.  This Blu disposable has produced more vapor than a lot of the other cig-alike and cheap eGo devices I have tried.  It's not a huge cloud, but it is close to the amount of smoke (if not a little more) that one can get when smoking a full flavored or unfiltered tobacco cigarette.  This is great news for those looking to get off the tobacco cigarettes and tread the waters to the vaping world.  I give 4.5 out of five stars to the vapor production of this device, only knocking a half star off the rating because of the few drags where vapor production can be low.

With a very good battery life and vapor production, decent taste, and the excellent draw, this is one disposable to keep among the top of your options, especially if you're on the go for a night on the town.  It's also an excellent option if you want to get a taste and feel of BLU Cigs products, or to try their cherry crush flavor.  This also serves an excellent option for intermediate to advanced vapers who find themselves in an emergency situation and need a temporary solution (out of juice or atomizers and the vape shop is closed, or dead battery and no charger, etc.).  My overall rating for this product is 4.5 out of 5 stars.
