As a general rule, I don't get awestruck by too many things when it comes to e cigs because I've smoked just about every e cigarette out there, tried nearly every e cig accessory, and puffed so many different e cig flavors it would make your head spin, but today I got my blu cigs Premium Starter Kit - the one which includes the blu Smart Pack that I hinted about earlier. Wow! I don't know what advanced tribe of space people came up with this concept, but if you're a blu e cig smoker, or you just enjoy electronic cigarettes in general, you will be blown away by the blu Smart Pack.
The thing is, blu had already set itself apart from other e cigarette brands with its original blu pack. It was magnificent. The charging apparatus built right in so you can smoke on the go was a terrific idea. But the Smart Pack's new features cut right to heart of why we smoke e cigs: to be social. Face it: smoking is very much a social activity. It's about enjoyment, pleasure, hanging out with friends and meeting new people. So, what better way to improve upon your creation than to include some handy bells and whistles (or should I say lights and vibrations) that promote social activity? Blu cigs premium starter kit: 1, everyone else: ZERO!
Though it sounds like something out of a science fiction movie, the Smart Pack is socially aware. It literally "knows" when you are within 50 feet of another blu e cig user, a bar that caters to blu smokers or a retail outlet that sells blu starter kits and accessories. The updated logo on the pack flashes and the pack vibrates when you get within the proper range. While you have the option to turn off this feature, it can certainly give you an "in" to talk to that hottie at the bar you've had your eye on. What's more, according to blu, next year they will be rolling out desktop software for the Smart Pack that will let you store the locations of bars and retail outlets in your pack. Not only that, but you'll be able to upload your Facebook, MySpace and Twitter profiles as well so you can exchange them with other users if you want.
Of course, with all the new gizmos added to the pack you'll be happy to know that they have also improved the battery management system on the blu Cigs Premium Starter Kit. The new systems not only charge the batteries quicker than before, but they extend the life and the performance as well. That means if you're one of those people who buys blu electronic cigarettes for the smoking and not the social networking (crazy, I know!) you'll have a lot more enjoyment at your disposal before you have to worry about recharging.
Below are a few other things you should know about the blu cigs premium starter kit, AKA "Smart Pack":
• It still holds up to five of your favorite flavor cartridges.
• The inside of the pack is more durable than previous models and more highly resistant to chemical breakdown and leakage than previous packs, meaning longer pack life and cleaner smoking accessories.
• All slots and storage areas within the pack are clearly labeled so it's easy to figure out where things are supposed to go.
• Smart Packs have a "No Screw" charge feature, which makes charging your spare battery ridiculously simple. Now all you have to do is put the battery in the proper hole inside the pack and it's charging. You don't have to worry that it's not screwed in tightly enough or that you'll drain the battery by leaving it screwed in after it has charged. This is a great feature for very busy people who can't always be thinking about their e cigarette batteries.
• It has separate charging indicators on the side of the pack. The blue indicator tells you how much charge is left in the pack and the red lets you know how much juice is left in your spare battery. Blu Cigs Premium Starter Kit have taken all the guesswork out of recharging. Again, a super-cool addition.
It goes without saying that I'm very high on the new blu Smart Packs. The people at blu have really captured the social aspect of smoking and are turning the e cig pack into more of an all-purpose mobile device. If they ever add voice and iTunes capability I will seriously consider saying "sayonara" to my cell phone. When you get your Blu Cigs Premium Starter Kit, you will know what i mean!

Overall this really is an amazing product. I see people complain about battery life, but if you take the time and charge them properly the first time then you will get MUCH better results. The LED indicators on the side make it so easy now, compared to the original kit, to keep up with charging.
The only real complaint i have is the shipping. Sometimes it takes forever, sometimes it is at my door before USPS ever scans it in. I really like the new free FedEx option for orders over $100.
All in all, I LOVE BLU. Great flavors, looking forward to the new ones soon! Customer support has always treated me well, and take care of me.
Great product! Keep up the good work guys!
