I started on a blu disposable from walgreens aswell, though I didn't like it I saw promise in the whole idea. I began to research (here) and from youtube account's of vaping. Looking for the devices that people actually use and love rather than overpriced junk ones they sell in the mall.
Now I'm really pleased with my Kgo which a member recommended to me.

As the battery runs down, and the carto empties, you will get less vapor. The remedy for this is to charge, or switch the carto (I'll give you a little hint, you can actually refill those cartos if you just buy juice from somewhere. They won't tell you that, buy I've been using the same cartos for weeks now, they'll work for a while).

If neither of these things are the case, you might have a bad connection. Be careful how you screw in the carto. They can sometimes be finicky. The crackling is perfectly normal. As for the difference between the disposable and the rechargeables, it's a completely different set up.

But to be honest, I don't much care for he Blu brand. Volcano is my brand of choice, not that there aren't many brands out there that are good. Volcano offers the same basic set up, but the customer service is out of this world, and shipping times are very fast. Plus they offer larger batteries. In my experience, the products are very high quality.
 
Personally I went with, KGO 1100 mAh 2 battery kit and for cartos get these Boge 2.0ohm LR cartomizers for 510

This kit comes with 6 pre-filled cartridges. Do you know what they're filled with? What I mean to ask is what level of nicotine are these cartridges? For me, I need 24 mg, no less. I'd probably end up buying the Boge cartomizers eventually, but right now, I'd like to just buy as little as possible, as I am a broke ... college student. I'll probably buy the starter kit, and the e-liquid, no cartos, no attys. Thanks

From looking at your link you provided, it looks to me like you have a choice of four different flavors to choose from, and you can select either high, medium or low nico level. I would suggest, since you are just getting off the analogs, to go with the high nico level. You can step down later on when you reorder. Your first objective is to get off the analogs, and going with a higher nico level will help ensure that. Your PV looks sweet! Welcome to ECF!

I just ordered a vv mod, hasn't arrived yet, but have been using several pen style or cig look-a-likes for a few months. BY FAR the best one I've encountered is Cigalectric. I found them at several gas stations here in Iowa as well as in Minnesota and Illinois. In fact, OP you being from Chicago you should be able to find them near you as they are based out of some town (forget which) in Illinois. $50 give or take for the starter kit, and I suggest you spend an additional 30 to 40 for the Express kit for a back up battery. The battery life of these is better than the various other ones I've tried: Blu, Infinati or something, and a few others I don't know the names of anymore. The batteries last me about 4 to 6 hrs of pretty constant vaping, and they charge in 1.5 to 2 hrs, though the product claims state 3 to 4!

Howeve, I highly recommend you consider moving away from the look-a-like models and get a larger batter style, as most on this forum will advise you. I'll still be using my Cigalectrics when I travel so I don't risk losing my Provari!
