A User's Guide To The Gogo

[mohawkx]

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

Here is a link. It only shows 7 left in stock so you better move fast if you want one. Comes with boge lr cartos instead of attys and of course the case. Case usually goes for 15-18 bucks by itself.

Awesome Brother, Thank you very much.

Just ordered it, LOL It looks like a baby Go Go And I assume the Boge 510 cartos work on it?

The boge lr cartos come with it. I can honestly say that a nice full boge lr carto comes close to giving as much taste/vapor/th as a gogo. Downside is they only hold .8ml. They can be refilled many times and will last a long time as long as you keep them wet. When I use the rivas, I usually pack 5 full Boge cartos in an old Camel SNUS tin and that works very well. The dual coil cartos are awesome on the riva also. They hold almost 2ml of juice and hit as good as the gogo.

Edit: The boge carto takes about 25 drops when you first fill it. Let it sit for an hour or so after full to let it wick real good. If you rush it, the filler will burn and it's hard to get that taste out.

Oh now that is great news, I just picked up 2 Boge LR cartos yesterday, the juice I have was way too thick for them so I thinned a 30 ml bottle with 1.8 ml of Sky Vodka and now it soaks in perfectly. As A Matter of fack, the Boge 510 carto on a black eGo 650 mAh battery siting right next to the Go Go with a Delren Drip tip for the Ego Mega Cart looks like "Go Go and Mini Me" LOL I can't wait till that bad boy gets here. It truly does look like a mini Go Go.

Quick question on Go-Go cartos in particular. Once a blank carto has been filled, it can be refilled / topped off a number of times before it needs to be cleaned out. Obviously, how much it can be refilled or topped is going to somewhat depend on the juice that's being used.

My questions are:
On average, how many mLs should one be able to go through before needing to be cleaned. What I've seen posted so far is between 10-15-20 or so refills - but that's going to vary a bit based on how much one is vaping on a given carto in any given day. Would it be safe to assume that (again, on average) if I buy juice in a 30mL bottle - that I should probably clean out that carto after the bottle is empty? Or am I already late to the cleaning?

As a follow up - how do you know that a carto is ready to be cleaned? I'm guessing (operative word here) that the flavor and vapor production will simply diminish at which point a good rinsing and drying session are in order.

Disclaimer - this applies to refilling the same carto with the same (or at least very similar profile) juice. I've gathered at least as much that if I'm changing juice in the same carto - it would be best to clean that carto out first.

Thanks!

I will give you my experience but everyone is a little different. The first carto I used is the only one I kind of tracked. I used the same juice and used it for ten days. refilled in the morning and topped off in the late afternoon almost everyday so I would say I went through about 40 ml of juice in that ten days. The vapor started to diminish is how I knew it needed cleaning. I know others clean more often than I do. I have been using primarily two others since then and I still haven't cleaned them and they are still working good after about twenty four days so averaged out that would be 12 days each but I have used other PVs during that time so it is hard to say for sure. These cartos are holding up extremely well and there have only been a couple that have died a natural death that I have heard of from other users.

A little off topic, maybe, so I apologize, but I cannot find info on how long it takes to charge the GOGO batteries. Mine seem to take only a few hours, but that doesn't seem reasonable when you consider the size of the battery? Any and all help is appreciated!!!

Did you run them all the way down until the button flashed 15 times? Or did you charge them right out of the box? They come with a 60-80% charge from the factory.

I've never really timed it but I think 3 hours is about how long it takes to charge one that is completely dead.

Yes, I ran them down. Only seemed to take a few hours to charge.

 

[Katmar]

Yep, that is about how long it took. WOW. My kr808s took about 4-6 hours!!
Thanks.

It's a more powerful wall charger for the gogo's than the 808s I believe...one thing you don't want to do is get the USB cables mixed up and plugged into the wrong wall charger...you could fry your 808 batts with the Gogo charger...I usually mark mine so that doesn't happen...happy vaping

Think I'll mark mine too...not sure if the eGo charger should be used with the Go Go cable, and vice versa.

 

[cleolove]

Yes, I learned very early to mark everything. I keep chargers in little ziplocs with a label on them so I know what they are for. I have about 20 of them in the same drawer. lol

[off Go-Go topic] Speaking of chargers, maybe someone here can answer this for me ... I have a usb charger for my 808D but no wall adapter. Can I use the same wall adapter I have for the 510 with the 808d? I thought maybe I could, since they are both similiar in size, but wanted to ask someone who knows about batteries more than I do first.

I would think if they are the same mah it would be ok, just my uneducated guess. But my eGo is 650 mah and the GoGo 1300 so I wont mix those.

If the wall adapter is for a regular 510, I'd say 'probably'....if it is for a fast charge ego style battery, then no...

I have a similar question as cleolove. I got a Go-Go adapter that lets me use my old Kr808 cartomizers on it.

Can I also use my old Kr808 USB cables/chargers (from V4L) on the Go-Go with the adapter?

You could but would probably take 8 hrs to charge. Just don't use the Go-Go charger on the 808 batteries.

Just wanted to update the user guide with the most current info available for cleaning gocarts.

Cleaning Gocarts is very easy. First get some red cocktail straws from your local bar. Remove cap from carto and wet under running water. Remove the filler using a pair of needle nose or equivilent. Carefully unroll the filler leaving the cotton material and polyfil intact. Wash the filler thoroughly under hot water. Wash the bare carto under hot water. shake any excess water from the bare carto. place in oven for 30 min at 200 degrees to dry. Remove carto from oven and dry burn until you see the cherry red glow of the coil.(Now you know you have a good clean, working carto) Rinse bare carto one more time to remove any ash or residual that was burned off during the dry burn. Roll the still wet fabric and polyfil tightly around the cocktail straw towards the middle. Insert the cocktail straw over the center tube of the carto. Slide the re-rolled filler down the cocktail straw until it seats at the bottom of the carto. Remove straw and lightly fluff and tamp the filler around the center tube until it is evenly distributed in the carto. Let dry for 24 to 36 hrs depending on local humidity. You now have a basicly new, clean carto.

Variations.
some do not remove the filler and use an ultrasonc cleaner and just throw the cartos in the cleaner of preference(mouthwash, vodka or just boiling water) and cycle the ultrasonic cleaner 4 or 5 times to clean the carto and report good results.

Some just clean the cartos according to the gogo user guide and bake dry and report good results.

Myself I prefer a mix. I prefer removing the filler and hand washing it. And putting the bare carto in the ultrasonic cleaner for 5-3minute cycles using hot water. I then oven dry for 30 min and do a dry burn, reinstall the wet filler and let sit for 24 hours. They come out brand new and I know I have a nice hot, clean coil. I'm still using the original cartos I filled 8 weeks ago.

Good luck.

 

[Jennie O]

I boiled one for several minutes then ran hot water through it til I saw no more color come out, then baked it and it's working great like new! i'm not sure I want to mess with taking anything apart, I had enough of that with the eGo.
