The Riva 510 or the eGo seem to be the most common next steps for Blu users. It has an extended battery life and tons of options for low-res atties and cartos for more vapor. Check out the vendors section in the forum. Most of them carry these models and you should be able to get a starter kit for around $45.

I concur on the Ego as your next step as a vaper. It was my second PV, and over a year later and 6 or 7 PV's later, the Ego is still the one I keep going back to. If you still want the ease of having filled cartos, try the Fluxomizers at GotVapes. They're easy to fill and the true flavor of the juice comes through...with tons of vapor.

You aren't going to find a battery that's the size of a cigarette that has longer life, unfortunately. The Ego will allow you to vape all day without having to worry about charging constantly, and while it's larger than the Blu or similar models, it's still reminiscent of a cigarette...sort of. Soon, you won't even care that it's not the size of a cigarette. I promise. :)

As for smooth flavor, I've tried a lot of liquids and I have to say that Virgin Vapor has the smoothest, cleanest, best liquids. And they're also perfect for a new user because they won't gunk up your equipment (which is, in my opinion, one of the biggest stumbling blocks for new vapers).

Hope this helps. :)

Jack, as far as smoothness, my suggestion is to go with a mid-range carto or atty 2.5-30hm. As far as more vapor production try a e-liquid with a higher ratio of vg. Vg tends to also be smoother than pg, i use almost only vg juices. As far as more flavors as soon as you begin to purchase juice/carto(or)attys unfilled your flavor options skyrocket. Imagination is your only limit there. From the research i have done the Blu batts have a capacity around 100mAh. Ask yourself how long you would prefer your new pv to be able to be used and shop based on how long one of your Blu batts ACTUALLY lasts. I generally can count on 100mAh lasting me personally a little longer than an hour. I had a 510 kit that was my first pv and have since moved to the bigger ego style batteries. I find this gives me the reserve power I feel comfortable about while out in the day away from the charger. Hope this helps. Let us know how you like your new pv once you have it. Good Luck. Happy Vaping.

That's pretty much where I'm at now, too...don't care at all if it looks like a cigarette or not. Just want to get comparable pleasure...y'know?

Go with the Riva 510 or eGo (basically the same thing) and get some low-res cartomizers and juice. This, for me, was really the missing link. Even better than the real thing.

Yea that does I will take a look is the Ego-t what I want or just the ego?
I don't mind about the size too much.

I would just get the Ego. The Ego-T's flavor just isn't right. Can't quite explain it. Plus, there's a bit of maintenance with the atomizers and some models leak.

BTW, I get my Ego batts from Cignot. Great service and extremely fast shipping.

Yes very much show Joe, and thanks Iusedtoanalog good info I am just not sure if having a three piece set is going to be too confusing, I can't figure for the life of me how an atty even works with everything if it's not premade I understand it heats everything but I just don't know if I'd be going in over my head lol.

Atomizers do have a learning curve with them, and you'll have to drip. My personal opinion is to go with some sort of cartomizer. I've tried a lot of them and find the Fluxomizer from GotVapes to be the best as far as flavor, ease of filling, and vapor production goes. That's just my opinion, of course.

Edit: Although, you will receive two atomizers with your Ego, so you can give them a try.
