Both are reusable, pre-filled pod systems built to keep vaping simple, and both share the same core technology \u2014 rechargeable batteries, pre-filled nicotine salt pods, mesh coils and draw-activated firing. It would be easy to assume they&#8217;re just different sizes of the same device, but day-to-day, they suit quite different users.

But bigger doesn&#8217;t automatically mean better for you. For a lot of vapers, especially those coming from disposables for the first time, the Bar Kit&#8217;s simplicity is precisely the point. The right choice comes down to matching the device to your habits, not chasing the biggest numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"The-Core-Difference-Between-the-Two-Kits\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Core Difference Between the Two Kits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"620\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Blu-Bar-1000-Kit-Group-rVuMcIdi.jpg\" alt=\"Three blu Bar kits stood up, with two blu Bar kits laid on their side with the pod removed, on a white background\" class=\"wp-image-688\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Blu-Bar-1000-Kit-Group-rVuMcIdi.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Blu-Bar-1000-Kit-Group-rVuMcIdi-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Blu-Bar-1000-Kit-Group-rVuMcIdi-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe0a7de2 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/product\/blu-bar-kit-12265\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shop the blu Bar Kit here<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong><a href=\"\/product\/blu-bar-kit-12265\">blu Bar<\/a><\/strong> is essentially a rechargeable evolution of the disposable vape. It&#8217;s compact, there&#8217;s no setup beyond inserting a pod, and vaping is as simple as inhaling through the mouthpiece. Once a pod runs out, you swap it for another and keep using the same battery. There&#8217;s no manual refilling, no coil changes, no settings to adjust \u2014 just convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"620\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Blu-Max-6000-Product-Image-6bOzagu1.jpg\" alt=\"One lilac blu MAX 6000 kit, one pink blu MAX 6000 kit, and one gold blu MAX 6000 kit, stood side by side on a white background\" class=\"wp-image-690\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Blu-Max-6000-Product-Image-6bOzagu1.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Blu-Max-6000-Product-Image-6bOzagu1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Blu-Max-6000-Product-Image-6bOzagu1-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe0a7de2 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blu-max-6000-vape-kit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shop the blu MAX 6000 Kit here<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>blu MAX 6000 <\/strong>takes a different approach: rather than replicating the disposable feel as closely as possible, it aims to cut down the compromises that come with smaller pod systems. Its 2ml pod is paired with a 10ml e-liquid container, together delivering up to 6,000 puffs before a replacement is needed. That capacity also gives blu room to add features that wouldn&#8217;t make sense on a smaller device \u2014 a larger battery for extended sessions and an LED display showing battery level, power mode and child-lock status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Neither approach is inherently better, because they solve different problems. If you vape occasionally or like switching flavours often, the smaller, 1,000-puff Bar Kit is genuinely more practical \u2014 you&#8217;re never committed to one flavour for long, and the device is easier to carry. If you used to burn through a disposable every few days before the ban, or you simply dislike changing pods often, the MAX 6000&#8217;s larger capacity will feel like less interruption to your day. Understanding this one distinction makes the rest of the comparison much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"Design-and-Everyday-Use\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Design and Everyday Use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"620\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Blu-Bar-1000-Kit-Blue-in-hand-nRU5ik7E.jpg\" alt=\"A hand holding a blue and lilac gradient-coloured blu Bar kit, on a white background.\" class=\"wp-image-689\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Blu-Bar-1000-Kit-Blue-in-hand-nRU5ik7E.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Blu-Bar-1000-Kit-Blue-in-hand-nRU5ik7E-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Blu-Bar-1000-Kit-Blue-in-hand-nRU5ik7E-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>blu Bar<\/strong> is deliberately minimalist \u2014 slim, light and free of buttons or menus, so it feels familiar to anyone coming from disposables. Insert a compatible pod, inhale, and the draw-activated mechanism does the rest. Small touches like the magnetic pod connection and an integrated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/e-liquid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">e-liquid<\/a> viewing window keep maintenance close to zero, which suits newer vapers who don&#8217;t want to think about their device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"620\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Blu-Max-6000-kit-in-hand-2VD37Nqn.jpg\" alt=\"A lilac blu MAX 6000 kit held in hand, on a white background\" class=\"wp-image-691\" style=\"width:620px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Blu-Max-6000-kit-in-hand-2VD37Nqn.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Blu-Max-6000-kit-in-hand-2VD37Nqn-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Blu-Max-6000-kit-in-hand-2VD37Nqn-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>blu MAX 6000<\/strong> is naturally larger, given its higher capacity, but still comfortable to carry. The standout addition is the LED display, which removes the guesswork common to simpler devices \u2014 you can check battery level, active power mode and child-lock status at a glance before heading out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short: the Bar fades into the background and asks nothing of you beyond charging and swapping pods. The MAX 6000 feels more like a premium device, giving you more visibility and control without becoming complicated to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"Battery-Life-and-Charging\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Battery Life and Charging<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>blu Bar<\/strong> runs on a 550mAh battery, sized to match its compact form and 2ml pods. It won&#8217;t post headline figures, but it doesn&#8217;t need to \u2014 it&#8217;s built for reliable performance in a light, pocketable device that&#8217;s quick to top up over USB-C whenever needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>blu MAX 6000 <\/strong>carries an 850mAh battery, which has more work to do: powering a much larger e-liquid capacity alongside the display and dual power modes. USB-C fast charging means less time waiting when it does need a top-up, which matters more for frequent users who&#8217;d rather spend their day vaping than charging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Worth noting: battery capacity and puff count aren&#8217;t directly linked. The MAX 6000&#8217;s 6,000-puff rating doesn&#8217;t mean 6,000 puffs on a single charge \u2014 like any rechargeable device, it&#8217;ll need charging multiple times across the life of one refill. The benefit isn&#8217;t an uninterrupted 6,000 puffs; it&#8217;s a battery sized to comfortably support the device for as long as the refill lasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"Puff-Count-and-Longevity\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Puff Count and Longevity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Headline puff counts are easy to fixate on, but the more useful question is what that number changes about your day-to-day use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"620\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Blu-Bar-1000-Kit-Pineapple-apart-r4BV8tdH.jpg\" alt=\"A yellow blu Bar kit shown with its 2ml Pineapple Ice pod on its right, on a white background\" class=\"wp-image-693\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Blu-Bar-1000-Kit-Pineapple-apart-r4BV8tdH.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Blu-Bar-1000-Kit-Pineapple-apart-r4BV8tdH-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Blu-Bar-1000-Kit-Pineapple-apart-r4BV8tdH-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each<strong> <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/refills\/blu-bar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>blu Bar <\/strong>pod<\/a><strong> <\/strong>delivers up to 1,000 puffs \u2014 already a solid step up from most disposables, without committing you to an oversized system. Once it&#8217;s empty, you swap in another pod and carry on. For vapers who like rotating between fruit, menthol and tobacco flavours through the week, this smaller format is an advantage: you&#8217;re never locked into one flavour for long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"620\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Blu-Max-6000-Kit-Pink-pod-apart-zWX3dZ7H.jpg\" alt=\"A rose gold blu MAX 6000 kit with the 2ml pod on its left, and the 10ml refill container on its right, on a white background.\" class=\"wp-image-692\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Blu-Max-6000-Kit-Pink-pod-apart-zWX3dZ7H.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Blu-Max-6000-Kit-Pink-pod-apart-zWX3dZ7H-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Blu-Max-6000-Kit-Pink-pod-apart-zWX3dZ7H-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>blu MAX 6000<\/strong> is built to minimise pod changes altogether. Its 2ml pod plus 10ml container combination is designed to keep supplying the pod as it&#8217;s used, stretching the system out to roughly 6,000 puffs. For commuters, frequent travellers, or anyone who&#8217;d rather not carry spares or wonder if today&#8217;s pod will last the day, that&#8217;s a real reduction in day-to-day maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you enjoy trying new flavours regularly, though, committing to thousands of puffs from a single refill may feel restrictive rather than convenient \u2014 which is where the Bar&#8217;s smaller pods win out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"Flavour-Performance-and-Coil-Technology\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flavour Performance and Coil Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coil technology has more influence over how satisfying a vape feels than most people realise. Both devices use mesh coils, now the standard for pod systems because they heat e-liquid more evenly than older wire coils, producing cleaner flavour and a more consistent draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>blu Bar<\/strong>&#8216;s single mesh coil delivers clear, well-defined flavour and smooth vapour \u2014 exactly what most users expect from a modern pod kit, and close enough to disposable-vape performance to feel instantly familiar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong><a href=\"\/blu-max-6000-vape-kit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">blu MAX 6000<\/a><\/strong> goes a step further with dual mesh coils, using two heating elements instead of one to increase the surface area in contact with the e-liquid. This vaporises liquid more efficiently, and the difference shows: fruit flavours read slightly brighter, cooling notes stand out more, and vapour has a bit more body. Over thousands of puffs, the dual coil setup also helps keep flavour consistent as the refill empties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both devices use the same 20mg <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/e-liquid\/nicotine-salt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">nicotine salt<\/a> e-liquid for a smooth throat hit \u2014 the coil difference doesn&#8217;t change the flavour recipe, just how clearly it comes through. Casual users will likely find the Bar&#8217;s single mesh coil more than satisfying; if flavour clarity is a priority, the MAX 6000&#8217;s dual mesh coil gives it the edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"Power-Modes\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Power Modes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-995f960e wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the clearest functional gap between the two. The <strong>blu Bar<\/strong> has no settings to adjust at all \u2014 every draw performs the same, which suits anyone who just wants to find a flavour they like and stop thinking about it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>blu MAX 6000 <\/strong>offers two power modes at the press of a button: one for a smoother, more relaxed inhale, and one for bolder flavour and vapour production. It&#8217;s not a customisable mod-style setup, just enough flexibility to match different moments in the day \u2014 gentler in the morning, more intense in the evening, for example \u2014 without adding real complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s not an essential feature, and plenty of Bar users won&#8217;t miss it. But for anyone who likes a bit of control, it&#8217;s another point in the MAX 6000&#8217;s favour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"Flavour-Range-Comparison\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flavour Range Comparison<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both kits use pre-filled pods, so there&#8217;s no manual refilling or coil-swapping either way \u2014 just pick a flavour and go. Where they differ is in range and how that range is delivered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>blu Bar<\/strong> currently has the wider selection of starter kits, spanning fruit, ice, sweet and tobacco-style profiles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cherry<\/strong> \u2014 sweet, sharp classic fruit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Blueberry Sour Razz<\/strong> \u2014 a tart blend of raspberries and blueberries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Watermelon Ice <\/strong>\u2014 juicy watermelon with a cooling menthol finish<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pineapple <\/strong>\u2014 tropical fruit notes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sour Berry <\/strong>\u2014 sweet and sour mixed berries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Blueberry Ice<\/strong> \u2014 tangy berry balanced with menthol<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Creamy Tobacco<\/strong> \u2014 smoother, more traditional profile<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That breadth pairs well with the Bar&#8217;s 1,000-puff pods, making it easy to experiment without committing to a large refill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>blu MAX 6000<\/strong> starter kit range is more focused but not weaker for it. <strong>Blueberry Sour Razz<\/strong> and <strong>Pineapple<\/strong> are shared across both ranges, so those profiles are available on either device, and the MAX 6000 adds its own <strong>Strawberry Ice<\/strong> \u2014 sweet strawberry with a cool menthol finish. The difference is in delivery: the dual mesh coil pushes more clarity and vapour out of the same flavour, so shared profiles can taste noticeably fuller on the MAX 6000 than on the Bar. It&#8217;s also worth noting that both collections feature a much wider range of replacement pods than what&#8217;s available as starter kits \u2014 though the blu Bar&#8217;s overall range is considerably larger \u2014 giving you plenty of room to explore new flavours after your initial purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If variety and frequent switching matter most, the Bar currently has the advantage. If you&#8217;re happy with a smaller selection delivered with more intensity over thousands of puffs, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/refills\/blu-max-6000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">blu MAX 6000 pods<\/a> make a stronger case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"Value-and-Running-Costs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Value and Running Costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Value here depends less on upfront price and more on how often you vape. The blu Bar suits lighter or occasional users. It&#8217;s cheap to get into, and a 1,000-puff pod may comfortably outlast the point where a bigger system&#8217;s benefits would even be noticeable. It also gives more freedom to change flavours \u2014 finish a pod, switch to something new, no refill to work through first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The blu MAX 6000 earns its value with regular users. Fewer pod changes means less remembering to buy or carry spares, and the extra features \u2014 display, dual power modes, larger battery, dual mesh coils \u2014 add up to a more advanced experience that can justify the higher cost if you&#8217;ll actually use them day to day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short: the Bar wins on flexibility, the MAX 6000 wins on longevity. Which represents &#8220;better value&#8221; depends entirely on your vaping habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"Final-Verdict\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Verdict<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The blu Bar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/vape-kits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vape kit<\/a> is for anyone who wants something simple, familiar and easy to carry \u2014 a natural next step for disposable-vape users who want to keep switching flavours without committing to a larger system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The blu MAX 6000 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/vape-kits\/big-puff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">big puff kit<\/a> is for more frequent vapers who want longer-lasting performance, stronger flavour output and a bit more control, in a device that&#8217;s still straightforward to use day to day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want something that just works without a second thought, go with the Bar. If you want more power, more control and a system that lasts considerably longer between changes, the MAX 6000 is the better fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe0a7de2 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Explore the blu range here<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<button onclick=\"backToTop()\" id=\"btt-btn\" title=\"Go to top\">\u25b2 Back to Top<\/button>\n<style>\n#btt-btn {\ndisplay: none;\nposition: fixed;\nbottom: 20px;\nright: 30px;\nz-index: 99;\nfont-size: 18px;\nborder: none;\noutline: none;\nbackground-color: #0073ff;\ncolor: white;\ncursor: pointer;\npadding: 15px;\nborder-radius: 4px;\n}\n#btt-btn:hover {\nbackground-color: #555;\n<\/style>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/etinternal.co.uk\/storage\/scripts\/back-to-top.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"BlogPosting\",\n  \"mainEntityOfPage\": {\n    \"@type\": \"WebPage\",\n    \"@id\": \"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/blu-bar-vs-blu-max-6000\"\n  },\n  \"headline\": \"blu Bar vs. blu MAX 6000: A Comparison Guide\",\n  \"description\": \"Compare the blu Bar Kit and blu MAX 6000 Kit, including battery life, puff count, flavours, performance and features to find the right blu vape for you.\",\n  \"image\": \"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/media\/qsediEj4xUDqNjiVni2h.jpg\",  \n  \"author\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Person\",\n    \"name\": \"Rona Recica\"\n  },  \n  \"publisher\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"The Electric Tobacconist\",\n    \"logo\": {\n      \"@type\": \"ImageObject\",\n      \"url\": \"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/media\/Z0QMyxILfhyRtAhnDQjD.png\"\n    }\n  },\n  \"datePublished\": \"2026-08-10\"\n}\n<\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Compare the blu Bar Kit and blu MAX 6000 Kit, including battery life, puff count, flavours, performance and features to find the right blu vape for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":735,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[10,4,1],"class_list":["post-672","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-big-puff","tag-guides","tag-vape-kits"],"blocksy_meta":{"styles_descriptor":{"styles":{"desktop":"","tablet":"","mobile":""},"google_fonts":[],"version":7}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/672","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=672"}],"version-history":[{"count":18,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/672\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":741,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/672\/revisions\/741"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/735"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=672"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=672"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=672"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
