In all fairness, I haven't really put the Stardusts through their paces, but I like them pretty well so far. Aesthetically, a friend of mine said that they have a sort of 19th century medical device look to them, which I think is spot on! The flavor and vapor production are great, and they're easy to fill for a tank (no syringe necessary). I use them exclusively for a few juices that I only want a puff or two of now and then but don't a whole eGo tank of. I did have one die suddenly, which was a little distressing, but this juice was a natural tobacco extract, which are known atty killers. I love natural tobacco juices but they wreak havoc on eGo-C attys, and that's what led me to try the Visions and the Bulli A2-TM to begin with. My other Visions have been working fine, though. I'm mostly a compulsive flavor-changer and shudder at the idea of an "all-day vape," so the eGo-C and Bulli work perfectly for me.
