A User's Guide To The Gogo

[cleolove]

Nope there are no other cones that fit the Go-Go. That is one reason most users buy two kits and then you have two spare batteries and a spare charger to boot.
Drew has said he was going to be getting cones and batteries in stock but I don't know when.
The batteries will probably cost 25.00 individually anyway so you are better off just buying another kit.

I was all set to do this very thing and then I heard about the Igo ... less airy vape (which I would like, I tape my Go-Go on one side to have less air) .. now I'm stuck in this ping pong of GO-GO ... IGO .... GO-GO...IGO .... I think I'll have to wait to hear more about the Igo .. like are the parts interchangable, 'cuz that would rock. Has anyone gotten an Igo and how does it compare to the Go-Go?

go-go .. igo ... go-go ... igo ... go-go ... igo ... will it never end!!!!

 

[mohawkx]

No threads on the Igo. I think it too is propriatary as is the gogo at this point.

Actually the iGo has a KR808D-1 thread. One can use KR808 carts and what not with the iGo batteries or the carts on KR808 batteries. So, not as proprietary as the GoGo. There are a few threads on the iGo in the Nhaler forums.

 

[cleolove]

yeah but now cig easy have the adapters that allow you to use your 808d-1 batteries on their go-carts or use 808d-1 cartos on your Go-Go battery. That pretty much makes them even again.

Igo .. Go-Go ... Igo ... Go-Go ... lol

Now, if one would come out in a different color, that would be easy peasy. Purple, please. Or Stainless. Are you listening China?? We like color!! (and shiny things)

On the subject of cleaning the carts.......

After I cleaned 2 of my carts I decided I would just let them air dry rather than baking in an oven....however.....
There I was lying in bed that evening....looking up at the ceiling fan. And it hit me.
I got some duct tape, wrapped the carts in a paper towel, taped them to the blades of the fan, turned that baby on high and let them spin for 2 hours.
The centrifugal force dried them fantastically.
I think 30 minutes of this spin cycle would do it just fine.

The wife however.....the look in her eyes.....



On the subject of losing some vaping power for no apparent reason?......
Make sure to clean your battery connections with rubbing alcohol often.




On syringes?.....
You can buy syringes w/needles from Walgreens. They are behind the counter and cost me 30 cents a piece. They will however quiz you on why you need them and can refuse to sell them to you. Show them your e-cig if you want to to help explain it.
Ask for the 18 gauge. Anything less and they won't suck up the juice.
I have a few that I filed down the tips and a few that I keep sharp.


Also, HELLO Go-Go world!

I can vouch for the Less than 18 not sucking up the juice, especially if you use a high VG base. I have 20 gauge blunt tip needles and 5 ml syringes and they are a pain in the rear to suck the juice up with. I will use these though until they die and then make sure I order either 18 or 16 gauge next time.

On the drying technique ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is hilarious I love it!!!

Gotta be a ninja in my house to pull that one off My Admiral would keel haul me

Important addition to the "Guide". For those of you who are having problems with intermittent buttons and firing with your gogos here is the vendor fix, right from the horses mouth, plus a very fine improvement to the overall system.

In essence, the gogo needs a reboot occasionally just like any computer device. The process for rebooting and eliminating those pesky misfires is contained in the attached link.

I received my Go-Go last Monday the 18th, ordered on the 15th from cigeasy. I charged both batteries to full before using even though they both were charged (at least partially) upon receiving.

The first battery I used had many problems. Would not fire all the time, cut out all the time and lasted like 8 hours. I emailed cigeasy and told them I had a bad battery. They responded approx a day later to take care of the issue. BUT, in the meantime I had recharged that problem battery and tried it again.
It worked perfectly. Zero issues since. Did nothing (afaik) other than give it another charge.

Although that same battery apparently fried one of my carts right off the charger. Weird. Like it shot 50 watts through the cart the first button press right off the charger.
Weirder still, it fried another cart the next time I charged it. Both carts were full of juice and now taste burned.

Also, both of my batteries have the 3-click shut-off. I had no idea this was something new. Going from an Ego-T to a Go-Go....I just instinctively clicked the button until it shut off and again to turn it on.

If this post better fits in the Ego-T vs go-go thread let me know and I will move this. I wasn't sure if it fit better here or there.

Thanks for the heads up! Mine *should be* arriving today and I'm nervous about it after reading about several problems that may not be Gogo gone yet. Since I didn't order extra carts yet I really don't want to burn them up the first day.

I'm still pretty new at vaping and have only used a dse801 with an automatic battery. I'd rather not have to deal with 'issues' and the new set up too.

You might try pulling the stem out just a tiny bit on the cart that you thought you fried. There have been lots of reports of stems needing pulled out but none of fried cartos.

 

[Stabbie]

I have seen zero posts about fried carts like this. I actually took one of the carts apart last night includng pulling the stem/straw completely out just to see if I could see anything.

The only thought that crossed my mind as I was looking at it:
The straws are held in with a glue. Wonder if I got a few bad ones with just a fraction too much glue and it eventually expanded to touch the coil. Now, I am not saying this is the cause I just didn't see any other possibilities.
The foam, the straw, the coil, everything looked good. I had only used these two carts for a very short time before this happened. I think both of them I had not gotten to the point of refilling yet.

I did clean both of them, refilled, and tried vaping on them off and on for a few days to see if the burnt taste just went away.
It never did, it was always there. Sometimes a strong taste, sometimes a very subtle one.

Oh well, I got my order of new carts from cigeasy yesterday. Although I was disappointed to see that the new ones did not come with condoms.

 

[txtumbleweed]

You are talking fried like burnt not fried as in burned out the atty. You were still getting vapor it just taste burnt?

 

[Stabbie]

Yes that is correct tumbleweed. Burnt taste, not fried as in dead coil. Still getting tons of vapor but with a burnt taste. Sorry for the misunderstanding by saying fried.

I'm only a month old.

Edit: at the risk of getting way off topic.....I now say I got bad carts with my Go-Go kit. Or at least 3 of them are bad. I put my RY juice aside thinking these carts just can't vape it after trying for a week. Low vapor, weak flavor no matter what I tried i.e. cleaning battery connections, refilling, moving the filler and wick around etc, etc. I filled up one of my new carts that I just got from cigeasy with the same RY just to see.....it vapes it fantastically. I am now 100% satisfied with my Go-Go! Wow! I mean I was happy anyway, for the most part, but now that I know I just had some underperforming carts......I am putting up fog banks of my delicious RY5 as I speak.
BTW, all my juices are 50/50 pg/vg, 6mg nic from freedom smoke.

Ha stabbie try and do a ohm,s test on it i had one that jumped to 4.4 ohm,s and it did taste burnt some thing to think about

I am going to have to try the spin method today. I am going to do it just to see the expression on my wife's face!! Oh, but yea, I wil make sure I clean them first

 

[Stabbie]

@madmach, I do not have an ohms tester. I am only a month old vaper. I have no idea how to even do one yet. But that sounds like a better explanation than anything I can come up with. The cart is burning the juice too quick. I do get 2x the vaper from these "burned" carts.

@binaryman, I just wrap 1/2 the cart on the mouthpiece end (of course) in a bit of paper towel and then place the duct tape in the middle of the cart - 1/2 over the paper towel and 1/2 over the cart. And make sure you do this because I did not do that to begin with and....well....I had a wet ring of water on the walls. I made sure not to point this failure out to the wife. It surprised me how much water was still in the carts.
I also suggest that you attach at least part of the tape to the cart itself because I could see the paper towel becoming too wet and breaking and the cart flying through the air like schrapnel.

I will be using this method everytime I clean my carts. I can let em spin all day long for all I care.
I've read about people spinning them on a string but whatev....I can put on my fan and go mow the lawn. And IMO, the fan works better. It's a strong, consistent centrifugal force for as long as you think it needs to be.

 

[ddg874]

@Stabbie. it thought I was the only one tasting this on the Go-Go carts. I am very new so I had to post to the new member's forums.

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...es-frustrated-wasted-lot-eliquid-already.html

The post though is talking about 2 issues: refilling and the taste. I am referring to the taste although I definitely would not mind getting suggestions for both in this forum.

THANKS.

Some pictures to update the guide some. Many people who are thinking of purchasing the gogo want a size comparison to what they presently have or prefer. Here is a size ratio pic of two gogos one standard 510 and two Riva 510s for camparison sake.

The travel case is from a Liberty Flights Riva 510 Deluxe model. It is 34.95 after discount. It contains 2-750 rivas, charger unit, 5 Boge 2.0 ohm cartos, and the carrying case. As shown, the case adapts very nicely to the gogo. Two gogos, 5 go carts and the two piece charger fit very nicely in it. Perfect for that long trip and continues the trend of no muss, no fuss.

 

[Devonmoonshire]

I looked on the website for one of these Riva deluxe kits but I could not find the one with the case.
