MyBlu Starter Kit Review – Blu Moon

Updated: September 26, 2022
Among the cornerstones of vaping with cig-a-like alternatives, a single mod has always been the hot topic of choice when it comes to beginners selecting their first device. Unlike the clumsy design and rather poor performance of earlier versions, the MyBlu is looking to be a promising performer and seems ready to take on other big hitters within the pod-style category such as the Pax Juul. Now with even more flavors and an all-new Intense lineup available, let’s take a closer look at the MyBlu and see how much its improved since its inception as a go-to starter kit.

Editors Note: For those who are looking for the easiest and most efficient way to make the switch, we suggest checking out the Slice, a pod-based vaping system that offers a hassle-free approach to vaping, no settings, no ohm law, just vapor.

Be sure to check the vape buyer’s guides for important information to take into consideration before making your purchase.

Review: MyBlu Starter Kit

MyBlu Review

Manufacturing Quality

When it comes to the overall aesthetics, you’ll find a lot of similarities between the new MyBlu and the Pax Juul. Sharing pretty much the same form factor as the Juul, theMyBlu looks like your standard USB flash drive, meaning to say that it’s very slim and easy to hold.

The small form factor also contributes largely to the lightness of the MyBlu making it extremely easy to bring with you on the go.

Conforming to the majority of pod-style devices, the MyBlu makes use of its own proprietary pod design. Considering how the MyBlu is aiming to revamp the original design and performance over the older devices in its lineup, it’s a bit disappointing to see that the pods are still using the same old clip-on design to attach themselves to the body of the device itself. Other pod-style devices have been moving towards magnetic ports that are significantly easier to install and remove so it would have been nice to see something similar with the MyBlu.MyBlu flat display

On the other hand, the MyBlu does sport a few sound design decisions here and there, most notable of which it’s mouthpiece being integrated into the replaceable pod itself.

Considering that the MyBlu is designed to cater to vapers who aren’t looking for a device to tinker with and maintain, adding the mouthpiece to the list of disposables eliminates the need for the user to routinely clean the device since a new mouthpiece comes with every new pod refill.

Flavor Quality

One of the biggest failures of the original Blu e-cigarettes was their poor overall vaping performance. Not only were they very lackluster in producing any substantial flavor or vapor, there was also practically no throat hit to be had when vaping on the Blu.

The new MyBlu is slowly changing things up with its compatibility to a fresh line up of pod flavors. Dubbed with the intense moniker, these new pods use a much-improved e-liquid solution to deliver a more substantial throat hit but still manages to keep the overall vaping experience smooth and relaxed all throughout.

One of the advantages of choosing a MyBlu over the Pax Juul is the much more varied selection of pod flavors to choose from. Since both of these devices utilize a closed pod system, refilling the pods with your own e-liquid isn’t really an option. While the Juul only has 8 flavors in total, the  MyBlu has double that amount if you include the regular e-liquid offerings as well as the Intense lineup which boasts a much stronger e-liquid concentration per puff.

Its difficult to find anything to complain about in regards to the vapor and flavor production of the MyBlu. The airflow is tight and restricted, offering a familiar mouth to lung sensation similar to most cig-a-likes and pod-style vaping devices.

The restricted airflow is a big help in producing a denser flavor with each puff, and while vapor production naturally can’t compete with bigger box mods, it’s more than enough considering the low output of the device.

Even among starter kits, the MyBlu offers considerably less leeway when it comes to changing up the vaping experience either via variable wattage settings or adjustable airflow. The MyBlu was designed to be vaped the way it was constructed straight out of the box and there really aren’t any changes you can make to how it vapes which can be a good or bad thing depending on what kind of vaper you are.

If you’re an absolute beginner to the vaping world, it’s hard to go wrong with the MyBlu as it offers a fixed and consistent vaping experience that neophyte vapers are less likely to mess with. If you’re looking for something with a bit more flexibility when it comes to power settings as well as the freedom to vape with any e-liquid you have on hand, then the MyBlu might be a pass for you.MyBlu flat display

The MyBlu uses an air activated sensor to fire up the device which has almost become a standard among all ultra-portable pod-style devices these days. While it’s not innovative by any means, it’s quite reliable when it comes to producing a stable and consistent output whenever you inhale from the mouthpiece. To sum it up misfires simply arent a thing when vaping on the MyBlu.

The pod features a light which turns on whenever you take a puff, indicating that the device is indeed firing up and producing vapor. Color changes in the indicator light serve to let you know the remaining charge left in the internal battery, a mechanism that has also become an industry standard among more compact starter kits.

Portability

With overall dimensions measuring out to a mere 18 mm x 106 mm and a very low weight of 22 grams, the MyBlu is easily one of the most portable devices you can get your hands on. The fact that it manages to squeeze in a 350mAh battery into its tiny frame is almost a mystery.

The cylindrical shape of the MyBlu gives it a smooth and comfortable feeling when handled and especially when slipped in and out of your pockets for easy storage.

The 350mAh battery does a good job of providing longevity for all day vaping, but depending on your vaping frequency, it might be necessary to recharge the device mid-day. Luckily, the MyBlu uses a standard micro USB charging port with a standard cable included in the kit. Pair that with the quick charge feature of the kit and you can have a fully depleted MyBlu device back up to speed in less than 30 minutes.MyBlu atomizers

Overall Experience

The competition is pretty tough out there, especially so in the world of pod-style devices which serve to be the entry point for most new vapers. It’s a good thing that the MyBlu doesn’t fall short and manages to deliver a satisfactory vaping experience within the small shell of its streamlined and ergonomic chassis.

While it’s understandable that more experienced vapers might shy away from the inflexibility of the MyBlu when it comes power settings as well as flavor options, those looking for an easy to use and reliable starter kit should have no problems with the MyBlu, especially given its much lower price point.

If you are looking for the best pre-filled unit on the market we suggest checking out the Slice and if you are looking for the best mod-style unit we suggest checking out the Smok X-Priv.
