5 click protection?

[jacq]

Hi

I am just looking at upgrading following advice given on another thread.

I notice that the highly recommended KGo says it has 5 click button protection. Wouldn't it be annoying to have to press the button 5 times each time you draw?

Have you tried one? Is this as problematic as it sounds?

My volcano inferno (ego) has 5 click protection. You press and hold the button while you take a draw (manual). If you click the button 5 times it turns the battery off and you can pocket it without it firing in your pocket. Five more clicks and it's back on. I think you are confused.

The five click protection is just for turning the battery on or off. You usually want to turn a battery off when you place it in a pocket or purse or something... so that the battery cannot activate if the button is accidentally pressed.

5 clicks, back "on" and ready to use. It is a nice feature actually, I have a KGO and I really like the 5 click on/off protection feature. When I put it away in my purse, I always turn it off so I don't have to worry that something will press the button and make it fire.

Hope this helps. The KGO is a nice unit. I don't know what you have been using, but I started with the KGO and have been extremely pleased.

I Just received the Kgo and that is only to turn on and off. Once it is on, it is on until you turn it off. It is really a great feature in my opinion so if it is in your pocket, it wont fire. So, no you do not have to press five times every time you want a vape. Great question though...

And when you buy the KGO, make sure the picture of it is with a black box with real big KGO letters that have shades of blue in the lettering, not the black box with like a gold crown picture on it. The other ones are sort of knockoff Riva's even though they call them KGO's, and I don't think they have the 5 click button protection. My friend accidentally got one of those.

If your like me, you won't ever use it. Seems to never leave your hand!

Thanks everyone, that clears that up, I feel rather stupid now.

Nobody thinks you're stupid. Funny maybe, but not stupid. At first I thought it was a clever trick question.

Howdy all you ECF folks out there!
Yep, liking that 5-click on/off idea on the KGO. Probably save battery life not just pocket/purse & thigh.
I am SUPER excited as I am awaiting the arrival of my new SLB KGO (with cartomizers) kit from DCV & I expect it to be here today or Monday. Only been seriously vaping since 02/20/2012 & I've learned so much here. You veterans need to know that there is quite a learning curve on this vaping stuff for us newbies.
I also ordered an extra KGO kit for my step-son who is recovering from surgery. He will not be able to smoke analogs for the next 3 months. Sounds like a good time to quit the stinkies, huh?
He is in a neck brace & bedridden for a few weeks, so I also ordered some pre-filled cartomizers for him. After he recovers, he can order some juice & start filling his own cartos.
Well thanks for being here.
Bullette says 'woof'.

lol jtpjc not it wasn't a trick question on my part.

Bullette I hope that you step son has a quick recovery, great idea to get him a vaping kit. Lets hope he quits analogs for good thanks to you.

Thanks jacq. He's not too interested in smokes right now as his throat is recovering from having that tube stuck down it during surgery. But you & I both know how that craving pops up again. As for me I quit smoking for 25 years. Yes 25 YEARS! I picked up & I got hooked again for 10 more years. So I just want him to have an alternative if he should need it.

5 click protection is a very useful feature. I made the experience of unwanted firing in an inner pocket of my jacket. Got hot, smelled bad and now i#m using it. Also turning off my lavatubes

It's a valid question. 5 clicks makes it hard to accidentally turn on in your pocket. We guys find that an ecig sometimes fires in our pocket when we sit down. 5 clicks is second nature once you do it a few times.

Check out the Provari tutorial for an exercise in clicking. Still, once you get the sequence it's pretty easy, too. The alternative would be multiple buttons like an MP3 player.

Thanks everyone, that clears that up, I feel rather stupid now.

You're not the first person who thought that. I did too when they first came out until my neighbor bought one and I discovered it was just an on/off feature. Neither of us are stupid...just, as my daughter calls me, challenged...LOL.

You don't have to click 5 times every time you draw.....just once to turn it on. If you don't turn it off, it stays on.
