I quit using a Blu starter kit. It was the one thing that made me quit. Then I had to do a remote broadcast from a club. The thing just stayed on and I had to unplug the atomizer. Batteries were constantly having to be charged. Then I got manual 510 batteries and passthrough. Still had to constantly charge batteries. My wife still has that same passthough and loves it. Then I got an ego, and I loved that, then a SB and loved that. Now I am regressing to smaller mods like the Icon and Alpha, because I love the Ego, but batteries for these devises once dead are thrown away, and seperate batteries are more powerful. It's just according to if you want to skip a few steps or waste all the money I did to get started with Blu.
