I haven't tried the silver bullet myself but I know I've heard a lot of good things. The only problem with the silver bullet unlike others such as the VP2 is you have to buy everything separate. You have to buy the housing, the charger, the batteries, and the atomizer all separate whereas with something like the VP2 you get the housing, charger, 2 batteries, and the adapter for the 510 atomizer all you need to buy separate is the atomizer. Also I forgot to recommend buying a least one or two spare atomizers since that is the main part that ever really needs replacing.
