Just to wrap up this thread...
As you can see, I came in here dead-set against anything that wasn't a
cigalike, and left hanging on the verge of getting an MVP.
I got my MVP two days ago and haven't touched my blu's since, except once to confirm that yes, there is absolutely no comparison.
If you're using the blu and thinking about upgrading, I can't recommend the MVP any more strongly. Granted, it's the only non-cigalike device I've tried, but it is incredible. Oh, and if you have a bunch of cartos that you don't want to see go to waste, they work just fine with the MVP, though they'll taste like a cotton ball over a campfire when compared to the clearos that come with it.
Thanks for all of the advice, and for kindly welcoming me into the
vaping world!
