So I haven't tried any other ones, but I've been using the my blucig for over two weeks now. I haven't touched an analog since and I've zero problems with the blucig. The battery doesn't last as long as I'd like, I'd say on fairly regular use during the work day, I have to recharge at least once, but since the charger pack carries an extra battery, that problem is basically pointless. It takes about 15secs to replace the battery and start charging the dead one.
On the flavor / taste / vapor. There are a variety of flavors, of which, my favorites are the Vivid Vanilla, Cherry Crush, and Classic tobacco. The others are decent and def. smokable. Although, I really don't like the Java Jolt flavor. The starter kit comes with 50 cartridges, I still have more than 35 left and I use the blucig pretty regularly. The taste is very good, it has a bit of a kick (I'm using the full-flavor cartridges right now). The amount of vapor is perfect, I can french inhale with ease. The vapor obviously starts to go down in amount as the cartridge gets empty. Keep in mind, when smoking inside, you can see the vapor much better, when outside it's harder too see during the daylight and in the wind you may not be able to french inhale as well.
On the cartridges, I read people writing about the foil and how it's hard to open... now the thing is, you don't need to mess with that at all. All you do is screw in the atomizer to the battery, then pop the cartridge onto the atomizer. The atomizer breaks the seal itself and your ready to smoke. When you change the cartridge you may need to remove a tiny bit of foil from the end of the atomizer. That's it. I have no idea what some of the other people are talking about when they say "opening the cartridge is hard" or "breaking the foil is hard". If your doing that, your not using it properly. You should never break the foil yourself. As per my knowledge you can not refill these cartridges but simply keep using new ones. The cost on average works out to like $1.15 for the equivalent of a pack of analogs (depending on how much analogs cost where you live obviously). If your paying about $5 a pack for analogs, these work out to about a $1.15 for a pack.
Anyway, all-in-all, the blucig is great, so far it's gotten me off analog smoking. It's damn sexy looking and it works like a charm (also a very effective conversation starter in bars/pool halls). I've ordered a backup atomizer just in case this one doesn't last forever, and I've ordered 50 more cartridges in the lower nicotine strength to start my quest of getting to zero nicotine.
Hope this post helps, feel free to ask me any questions about the blu and if I know the answer I'll shoot you back a reply.
