I second that, I started with the Blu and then moved up to the kGo also from darkcityvapor.com, finally I purchased my Provari.

Just out of curiousity, is the Blu Premium better than the regular one?!
Yes the premium 100 is a much better product. The battery is larger and the PCC is MUCH improved. You don't have to screw the battery into it and it has level meters (leds) for both the charge of the battery and the PCC. It's also constructed better. I get about a half day's vape out of the premium 100 batteries (I'm not a heavy vapor). For refrence my 650mah Kgo last's me about 1.5 days.

Don't mistake me though...it ain't a Kgo or Provari. While it stacks up well with other cig-lookalikes, it doesn't produce the vapor or throat hit that larger batteries will give. I keep one in my pocket at all times for a quick vape in the car, stealth vape or emergency backup when my Kgo dies. It's very small and I don't even notice it in my jeans pocket.

Well, for a cigarette feel still, I recommend Smokeless Image Volts. Good 808 batteries with decent cartomizers with decent flavor and vapor. If you go into refilling carts and filling blanks with liquids, Smokeless Image's "nicquids" are nice too. Smokeless Image also recently came out with their first "big battery" which will use both the cartomizers and the clearomizers for liquids. The taste will vary slightly between the two. But, the new big battery - the X2 - does not look like a cigarette, but it isn't over the top for a big battery, either. Both the Smokeless Image Volt (808 style battery) and their X2 provide good vapor production, as far as I'm concerned.

Getting a burnt taste could be more of your carts or clearomizers going dry. You would want to change or refill the cart or clearomizer at even the slightest hint of burned taste. With the clearomizer you can see the liquid levels and refill before reaching the bottom of the fill lines.

The PG/VG ratio of the liquid in your carts/clearomizers will also affect the vapor production. Higher VG gives more vapor, but less "throat hit" and at times less flavor. Higher PG is more flavor and throat hit, with less vapor. For myself, I like vapor, but I'm more into the flavor than huge plumes of vapor.
 
Thanks for all your input, definitely very informative. I surely won't miss the stealthness of the blu, only because I crave more vapor prod with every hit I take. I usually vape at work more than at home.
Sweet-Vapes also sells the shorter 650mah Kgo.
I’m a Blu Premium 100 user and purchased the 650mah Kgo from Sweet-Vapes and the 1100mah Kgo from Hosier. Both companies provided excellent service btw and shipped quickly.

Here’s MY take.
Portability: For carrying around in my pocket I find the 1100mah battery just too big. The 650mah is doable but I find that the carto’s get hot and I use a drip tip to provide more isolation and comfort. With the drip tip even the 650mah setup is a tad too bulky for me, but is doable depending on your tolerance and style of clothing.

I kept my Blu Premium 100 and always have it in my pocket. It is unnoticeable in my pocket, great for pulling out for a stealth vape or in the car. I get great use out of both. So if you can afford it, you may want to keep the Blu until you are sure that pocketing a larger device works for you.

Vape: The Kgo is a far superior vaping system. I like to use it with a “stardust” tank. They call it the Vision Ego tank. The downside to the tank is that you can’t pocket it because the forces on it may cause it to break or leak. I recommend buying both the LR cartomizers and the SR cartomizers. With the LR carto’s you get ton’s of vapor, but it may be too warm and too much Throat Hit for you. The SR will still produce a lot of vapor compared to the Blu, but it will be cooler. See what you like.

There are a LOT of options out there, so think hard on what is best for you.
 
I get about a full day on a blu premium 100 batt, I can just imagin what I'll get with the kgo :blink:

Considering that the Blu standard battery is 80mah and the premium 100 is 226mah (3.7v nominal) and the Kgo is 650mah or 1100mah if a Blu lasts you a full day, you should get about 3 days with a kgo-65 and about 5 days with a Kgo 1100.

But you may want to vape the Kgo more so your mileage may vary :)
 
She is here, I couldn't be any happier!!! I can't believe how fast it got here :blink:
