1ST GENERATION KGO KIT 1100MAH BY SLB - Is this product good?

[eSmokingNY]

Hello I just Bought 1ST GENERATION KGO KIT 1100MAH BY SLB, I was only going by website reviews and youtube videos though. What do you think about this?

KGO kit1100mAh by SLB

I hope i made the right buy. let me know

Yes, you made a very good buy. The batts will last you quite a while, and it will vape at a higher voltage than a standard eGo. Most egos vape at about 3.3 volts, which to me isn't very satisfying except with a low resistance 306 atomizer, which is not recommended to use on an eGo. This will vape nicer, and be pocket friendly for you, all at a good price. You made a great buy.

Edit: Sorry, I realize you are likely new to vaping, so I will put it in terms a layman will understand better. The model you ordered, will have a slightly stronger output than other similar devices, which will give you a more satisfying vape, with possibly more vaper and better throat hit, you will find it a very pleasing experience.

 

[PhreakySTS9]

Oh, and if you are completely new to vaping, I would suggest trying out dripping. It's when you drop a few drops straight into the atomizer, as opposed to using the cartridges that come with it. The carts you will most likely find severely lacking, as they tend to not feed enough liquid for an optimal vape. You can also try out cartomizers, Vivi Nova's or stardust type clearomizers. You can do a search for each I posted to find out more.

And sorry if you are not a new vaper, I just wanted to cover all the bases. Good luck!

BTW, Hoosier is a very well known and reputable company. You will not go wrong ordering from them again in the future should you need to purchase more parts, etc.

I am very new. And yes I am going to try dripping. Buying drip tip next month. I have been in the chat and watching videos on youtube. Im getting the hang of a lot of things. Vaping seems to be a lot of fun. I started on GreenSmoke about 2 weeks again, Bad idea, I know, but im not smoking reg cigs anymore so thats one good thing.

 

[Al From Jerz]

That kit is a solid choice. Its the first kit I bought and the battery I use most often.

 

[PhreakySTS9]

Oh man, if you're using a GreenSmoke kit right now, and it is keeping you off cigs with no problems, you are going to absolutely love the KGO. It will be a night and day difference between the setup you're using. Keep in mind that any PV/battery is only as good as the juice and the atomizer/cartomizer/clearo/etc. that you use. You can use a Provari or Darwin(very top of the line devices) and a crummy atomizer, and you will have a very crummy experience.

thanks for input. how long do an atomizer last

 

[PhreakySTS9]

It greatly depends on the quality of it, and how well you maintain it. About a month is a good estimate, but some may only last a week or so, and some(like the Avid Vaper HH..357) have been known to last anywhere from 4 months to up to a year i've heard. It will help a lot if you blow it completely out every day or 2, and once it starts getting gunked up you can clean it with hot water, alcohol and other things.

I am usually a pack a day smoker, This comes with an addy, how long do you think stock one will last with a pack a day smoker.

A Vivi Nova 2.5 would also be a great choice. It is a tank that has little replaceable atomizer heads that are very cheap. They make a mini one that will fit your KGO great, and they also work well and are very easy to use. Check them out here.

GotVapes Vision Mini ViVi Nova™ 2.5ml 2.4ohm [gv-MiniViViNova510-2.4ohm] - $9.45 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more

Easy to fill, easy to clean, easy to USE in general, and they are a very popular beginner item these days. Plus a lot less filling. You can fill it up and vape on it for quite a while without even having to do anything else. The bigger ones that site sells are also just as good, but will be bigger around than your KGO, where as the mini ones give it a nice slimmer look.

That has a coil or wic i have to replace right? and often would i need to replace it?

I would also suggest these heads here, as they are what is called a lower resistance atomizer. For the power your KGO will put out, these will give it a much stronger kick than a standard atomizer. But the 2.4 ones that come with the VIVI nova will also work great.

1.8 ohm: GotVapes VISION ViVi NOVA™ Twist-On HEAD 1.8ohm Long Wick [gv-VIVNOVA-CoilHeadONLY-1.8] - $2.95 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more

And here is a video on the Vivi Nova system in general by a great reviewer, pbusardo



Even though he shows the full sized one, the mini works in the same way, it's just a bit smaller and will be about the same diameter as the KGO battery, where as the full sized one will be bigger around

By the way, I forgot to add, that should you ever have any questions about anything related to vaping, opinions, advice, etc. feel free to send me a PM any time. I check the forum every day, usually several times a day, and I will get back to you as quick as possible, with as much knowledge as I have on whatever it may be you need to ask. Honestly, feel free to shoot me a message any time, as I would be too happy to help!

I've also heard many great reviews of newer vapers really enjoying the Kanger T2 clearomizers for their performance and ease of use, but I have not tried one myself so I can't give any thoughts on it, just something else to check out.

I am also a Kgo v1 fan.. I see there is a new V2 Kgo out but haven't tried it yet. My Kgo has been going non-stop since last Feb so can't complain. Try the vivi nova with the 1.8ohm head it works great. Lasts me just about all day and charges in 2.5 hours flat.

I bought my Kgo kit 7 months ago & it's still working great!
One comment about your kit. It comes with the atomizer/cartridge combo. Mine came with cartomizers. If I had your kit, I would keep the atomizers & throw away the prefilled cartridges. Get some good cartomizers like everyone says. You're gonna love the Kgo!
BTW. I'm old school.
I use either Boge 2.0 ohm cartomizers or
Smoketech 1.7 ohm cartomizers.
I don't use a tank.
Bullette says woof!

PS. Great price at $37.99. You win the Noobie of the Day Award! Congratz

i was extremely dissapointed in the v2 kgo. with the firs gen kgo i got 10 hours of vaping time, with the v2 i get 6 tops...usually closer to 5. i dont notice any difference in vapor-TH. I use LR boges.


EDIT: I got these batteries few days and tonight they started blinking after 15 minutes (after being fully charged)

Depends try not to burn it too dry as soon as the tast and vapor fade add a few more drops, just had a cheapo no name one die it was like 41/2 weeks old.

And good luck with your kit i started a couple people on those same batts and they love them, a decent first step up coming from an ecig, you will be blown away and go "oh, ok now I get it" after you stop choking lol
