I have never tried the juul but from what I have read they use Temperature Control which should prevent dry hits. I seriously doubt whether the Blu (or most of the other pod systems) has incorporated that feature. The more I read here and elsewhere, all these pod systems seem to have issues, even the market leading Juul. Sadly, the same can be said about a lot of mods, tanks, replacement coils, etc.... Yet if you watch all the YouTube reviewers, every product works great. A little research on ECF, VU, Reddit and others will go a long way in finding devices that are both enjoyable and reliable.
Another nice thing about the Juul is that there's cotton at the end of the drip tip to minimize spit back. But there certainly are drawbacks. The first hit of a new pod is excellent but after extended use the pods can be fiddly. Air bubbles form around the wick and you need to tap them away to get a good draw. Juul is also one of the few companies still using silica wicks. Silica wicks have some bad press--don't know if that is real or hype but it is something to consider. And when you first insert a pod it fits tightly. After lots of use, the pods loosen up. They can be taken apart and refilled but the performance degrades pretty quickly.
I get great performance from the Infinix. The pods last a long time. No dry hits unless you vape it empty. Very reliable. But spit back is a problem (like the myblu) and the battery indicator is a joke. I posted a review here on the forum. If it weren't for the promotion on the Myblu, I'd still be using this one.
I think the Myblu is similar to the Infinix. I think the Infinix has a better, much more consistent, and smoother vape. The Infinix is much more responsive. The Myblu has a better battery indicator and battery life. The Myblu is $1 which is the biggest pro.
I like the vape from the Suorin Drop a lot. I often go back to this device despite the troublesome pods. I use it with higher nic than the Infinix (the Infinix produces more vapor). It has a cover over the air intake and the tight pull gives me more of a cigarette type experience even though it is shaped nothing like a cigarette. I do like the form though. Unfortunately, the pods can be a bit finicky over time. Although the pod has one chamber, one side sometimes empties into the other side. And there are sometimes dry hits. Sometimes, the cover over the air intake gets gunked up and you need to clean it. The pods don't come apart easily so you can't easily clean the drip tip or replace the cotton.
The Suorin Air is similar to the Drop but it has a looser pull. It is less like a cigarette pull. It doesn't have the issues with one side moving to the other side. But you do have to be careful to avoid dry hits.
The Breeze 1 isn't a pod device and it's a bit bigger but it's a nice all in one. Also the draw is not at all like a cigarette. But a benefit is that it comes apart for cleaning easily. There's a new Breeze 2 that uses pods but I haven't tried it yet.
I haven't tried the Justfog Minifit but it gets lots of praise on this forum. And it looks to be rebuildable like the Myblu.
