A big hello and a question on choosing a cartomizer

[bluegal]

Hello everyone I am 32 and I picked up my first e-cig 3 months ago and put down the cigarette the same day. I was a pack and a half smoker for 10 years and I am so greatful to have found the world of vaping. I have been lurking here for a while looking into the ins and outs of vaping and this community has really helped me learn so much. I have a joyetech 510 and its been great but the battery is just not doing it for me any more and while dripping is giving me pleasure ( I found out real quick that the carts that came with it are junk ) I feel like it is time to move up. I placed an order for a Kgo kit and I am waiting on it to arrive. My question is I am not sure what kind of cartomizer I should order. I relize that everyone has their own favorites, I just need a little help picking between the Smok tech dual coil cartomizer and the Ego Vision Clearomizer. And what ohm would be best for my new Kgo 1100 mAh ? After reading up on pvs the ohm I need is still a bit confusing. I just want something that I dont need to fill all the time and does not leak all over the place. I like the feel and taste of my favorite juice I get from dripping but the mess it makes is getting old.

I was just pondering the same questions last night; when during my online search for information I came across Grimm Green on youtube. This guy knows his stuff. Check him out at GrimmGreenIndustries

I chose to go with a Silver Bullet, with a Cartomator cartomizer tank (boge 2.0 ohm cartomizer) from Vaperfexion=Vape Perfection ...nice set up..and should perform way better than my starter e-cig kit.

have fun!!

I have no experience with Boge Cartos but I read good things about it, so i ordered some last night. If you do decide to order, you may want to take a look at these and take advantage: Boge LR Deal (5 Boxes)

If it's a choice between the two, definitely go with the eGo Vision Clearomizer, no question about it. Dual coils don't work that well on a 3.7V battery. You have two standard resistance coils in there and really need more voltage for them to work as well as a 2-2.5ohm carto. Plus, clearomizers taste better.
Best two cartomizers for a kGo are the 1.7ohm single coil Smoketech "Resurrector" and the 2ohm Boge.
Delicate flavors, like fruit, may taste a little burnt with the 1.7ohm though, so use it for tobacco or coffee or darker juice.
If you like dripping, you'll get a cleaner taste with a Fluxomizer. The minimum resistance available is 2.4-2.6ohm, which should be perfect for the lighter flavors and it doesn't mute the flavors like a Vision sometimes can.

Based on what others have said, dual coils aren't the greatest on a KGO.

I have a KGO and use the ego visions and am really happy with them. In terms of resistance, the preference is personal, I think. I prefer the SR (higher number ohms) but my DH prefers the LR. For me flavors taste a bit burnt with the LR. My husband prefers the LRs because of easier draw. So I think it kind of depends on your tastes and how you vape. I'd recommend getting at least one of each and comparing them side by side with your favorite flavor.

I never tried them, but people seem to like the Phoenix bottom coil clearos a lot - they work like a clearomizer in terms of flavor and they don't have all of the wicking issues that sometimes get annoying with the top coils.

Other than that, for a filler carto (such as the Boge) you would go for a 2.0 Ohm; another great option is the 1.7 Ohm single coil XL carto from (aka Resurrector if it's from Crystal Clear Vaping); there are also XL sized Boges.

For the Fluxos and eGo Vision aka Stardust aka CE4+ - a resistance that sounds a little higher, ~2.4 Ohm, is somewhat equivalent to the 2.0 Ohm for filler cartos as far as I can tell; that is maybe because of the hotter vapor given by a top coil. I personally don't like Fluxos because they are difficult to get to work well, and even then they have wicking issues, but that's just me - other people have a great experience with them...

Thank you all for your replies. My favorite flavor is Butterfly Bait for Mom and Pop vapor shop and it is a light fruity vape. I am glad I asked about the ohm now because I did not know it may taste burned if I use to high of one. I think I will go with the clearomizer and order one LR and one SR and see how it goes. Thank you for your input sailorman I am going to go and look into the ones you sugested before I place my order.

The most popular answer will be the Boge 2.0 ohm cartos, but I always found that they burned up on me rather prematurely. I stick with Kanger HC cartos preferably the 2.0 ohm. I use them on a Riva 510, which is very similar in performance to the KGO. I get mine at Good Prophets or HealthCabin.

I just got my vision clearomizer in the mail and filled it up. It is working great! I was worried that the flavor of my favorite juice would change but it is better. Most likely because my atty that I had been dripping into was getting old. I want to thank you all for your replies and I will be placing some more orders for some of the cartos you sugested soon. I also bought a 5 pack of the smoktech 1.7 single coil clear cartos and filled one with a new juice I am giving it a little rest time before I try it. I looked for a way to fill it with out the condom method ( mine did not come with a condom) I did not find one and ended up with juice in my hand. I guess I need to avoid dripping the juice down the center hole lol. I just wanted to say thank you again for the tips you all gave me.

I agree 100% with sailorman. Best cartos for the 3.7 Kgo are the smoktech 1.7 single coils.

Try CAREFULLY putting a round toothpick in the air passage while filling.

Actually, it's the other way around. It may taste burnt if you use too low of a resistance. Low resistance means a hotter vape. Higher resistance gives a cooler vape. For that juice, something about 2-2.5ohms would be good. The 1.7 or 1.5ohms will be hotter and could taste burnt. Save those for darker, heavier juice like coffee or chocolate or something.

Thanks Vapoor eyes er I will try that. Thank you Sailorman for clearing that up you have been a great help
