Best/Cheapest place to buy a KGO 1100Mah???

[Tumblelily]

I should have read through the whole thread before I posted.

You're right- that's a great deal through Dark City Vapors! I just jotted down the info you supplied in my notebook. That is where I'll get my next kGo kit. I like the kGo so much, I already know I'll be buying another one.

Now, I want a red one. I also like that Dark City gives you a choice of cartomizer, along with the choice of drip tip.
Along with the discount code, that makes for a seriously good deal.

Thanks for the information!

Thats all good, but I'm telling you. CCV Resurrectors.

I did check out the websites and darkcityvapor is $1 more...not a big deal, but do they have free shipping or something to make it a better deal?

Yeah there's a 15% off coupon code a few replies back in this thread total with shipping is 41.66

Toledo is my 'home town' We're living near BG now.
I got my kits from Hoosier, and it only took 3 or 4 days (like I said, he's a great supplier!). I just found DCV tonight. I have GOT to stop spending money on vaping stuff! lol! I didn't know what an ecig even WAS a month ago

I honestly didn't think I would run across someone so close to home on here haha yeah 2 weeks ago I didn't know anything about an e-cig now it's turning into an addiction/hobby haha I've done nothing but read read read and watch YouTube videos and check different stock and stuff from the many many vape sites since I bought this crappy bulldog e-cig I wish I would have known 2 weeks ago what I know today!!

 

[stephpd]

I know....I went through this just a couple of weeks ago.
The main thing is the battery...the length of time they hold a charge. The Riva is 650 mah I believe, and the kgo is 1100

Really depends on which Riva model you purchase. They do make a similar one to the Ego or Kgo. About the same price and same size battery and amperage.
It's the one I got and it looks exactly the same, though not from a sponsor of this site so I won't provide a link.
But it looks just like the Kgo. The only difference I could see about it and the Ego was it's gold tone verses silver and the button is slightly different. Ego is harder and the Riva is a little softer.

I've since acquired an E-Power 14650. It was the nightly special at Mad Vapes for $39.99
Like an Ego/Kgo/Riva on steroids. Best part is the battery is removable from the casing and switch and much cheaper to replace the batteries. Battery is rated at 1600 mAh.

I wished that I would have skipped a few steps in the vaping process and saved a lot of money. Provari, dual coils and j-tank and I would b set but I ended up buying a bunch of crap instead. Looks like most everyone does the same thing though. The kit u got coming is a big step up and u should b happy for a little while anyway LoL. Until u want the next bigger better thing. I would order a vv hog mod if it wasn't for me liking to wake up in the morning. My wife would kill me for sure.

The "Ressurectors" are the nickname CCV gave their 1.7ohm XL cartos.
DCV, and Hoosier both carry them as well as madvapes. Ive never tried the DCV ones but I have tried them from Hoosier and Madvapes. Hoosiers 1.7s work very well like the Ressurectors. Madvapes for some reason seems to have quite a bit of DOAs. Not sure why but Ive read quite a few reviews from people that have gotten 1.7s that had DOAs. Ive gotten one box from them and 2 out of 5 were DOA. My buddy ordered 2 5-packs from Madvapes and 3 out of 5 were DOA in one pack and 4 out of 5 in the other. I dont know if it was just a few bad batches or what but I woudnt order them from Madvapes.
I still feel CCV def has the best deal for them. They have free shipping which is nice when you just want to order cartos, and if you get a 15-pack you get a free syringe and drip tip. Put in ecf5off and you get 5% off too.
Also, and this is prob the best reason to get them from CCV, is that Andrew guarantees all carto purchases. Most vendors only have a DOA warranty on cartos. I got a pack of clear Ressurectors when I first started and after a few days of using them, 2 came loose where thry screw onto the battery. I called Andrew and let him know. I didnt even ask him for a replacement, and the next day I got an email that he mailed me another 5-pack for free. He doesnt even make you return the other ones. The Ressurectors from CCV are extremely consistant. Ive ordered at least 20 5-packs and have never gotten a DOA. And they almost always measure 1.7ohms dead-on, on a multimeter. Thats why I only will order them from CCV. If CCV was out tho I would get them from Hoosier, like others said, Brents a good guy

Ferris, def try out the Ressurectors for your kGo. They hit like a beast on a 3.7V. I have an E-Power and they are incredible. Frankly Im not a big fan of Dualcoils. I find that most of them are overrated. I feel like most people just want to use them becuase they say dual coil, which makes them think automatically that their better. DOnt get me wrong, some dual coils are nice, but overall I fnd that the Ressurectors produce just as much vapor as most DCs. And they wont drain your battery like a dual coil will. Plus, most DCs are pretty expensive. 15 Ressurectors is about $20. I get 2-3 weeks out of one Ressurector on avg, so their def worth the price.

Stephpd, The E-Power batteries are actually 1050mah. Madvapes overrates them. Their still awesome though. I get a day to a day and a half on one battery with heavy vaping. And replacement batteries cost $4 compared to eGo/kGo/Riva batts that are $14-20. Plus non-prop batteries last a lot longer before they need to be replaced. Thats one of the main reasons I went with the E-Power over the kGo when I first started. I find it much easier to carry a spare battery for the E-Power, than to carry a spare battery for a eGo/kGo/Riva. And I dont know if you know already, but there is a new switch out for the 14650. Has a white LED instead of the blue,and also has a 5-click on/off feature now like the kGo/eGos
Regardless the kGo is still a very nice device that works great. If I hadnt went with the E-Power I def would have gotten a kGo.

Sure it does Check out the website

It doesn't say it on the box or on the PV, though.

I hear ya. I saw the term 'ecig' posted somewhere, and being a geek, e ANYTHING catches my attention so I had to do a Google search! I've quit cigs before, but my husband NEVER has, and I find the older you get, the harder it is so I took the plunge and bought an overpriced 'couples kit', which was basicallly rebranded, too expensive ($140/2 kits!) 808 batts with burned dirt tasting catridges....yum! I saw the potential though and found this forum....which has soooo much information that right off the bat I couldn't even LOOK at it w/ o my head spinning! A few days and headaches later though I'd settled on the Kgo and bought 2 kits. My husbands' is still sitting in the box while he continues to smoke 2 pks/day and "smokes up all our ryo supplies". I'm hopeful though....
Now I'm mixing my own juice, buying tanks, cartos in bulk, and even picked up a $10 Go-go batt last night just because it was $10. I have no charger or cartos that will fit, but I'll have myself a Go go gosh darn it! LOL! My cc loves me....sigh.
A monster was created me thinks

 

[Bostonsnboxers]

I know...it's my understanding that slb makes them, and is the only company that makes them, then Brent (Hoosier's) rebrands them. Hoosier doesn't actually make the pv or the components though.

 

[SaltyPirate]

$45 at Dark City Vapors, plus 15% discount, plus free drip tip and 5 really good BLANK cartos Resurrectors or Boge, your choice) instead of the prefilled yucky catridges you get with Hoosiers?? Looks like a better deal to me...

Thats a much better deal, nice find!

 

[Freddytk421]

I just ordered 2 of the kgo sets from dark city vapors. I love that they have cartomizers. If you buy extra cartomizers they are cheap and come with a little bottle of juice. That's the best deal around with the code. If you're thinking about getting some you better do it today because i'm sure they will be gone and who knows when they will get more.

I was going by what google has them listed as to the mAh.
14650 battery - Google Search
Most sites that you can order them from have that same listing. As to the price I found them a bit cheaper, but from Singapore. Red Sanyo type ones are listed at a lower mAh.

Didn't know about the new switch, though I had read about the larger E-power having a switch problem.

As to the Kgo I have the Riva, very similar. Even found a place for fairly cheap batteries for them too. Ordered a few just in case.

And like many others here I like the CCV 1.7 ohm cartos too. They work equally well in both the Ego/Kgo/Riva and the E-power. By far the best hit out of everything I've tried so far.

I'm really new to e-cigs but I've got 3 of these carto's loaded up with different flavors and no problem with any of them after using them for over a week.

 

[Running Wolf]

well ive decided im going to purchase the KGO 1100Mah starter kit just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for the best/cheapest place to purchase one.... i have www.hoosierecigsupply.com in mind but just looking for suggestions thanks. IM READY TO GET MY ON!!!

Hoosier has a good reputation and word of mouth from people around here.

I have an ego-t which is basically the same thing. I'm happy with mine. Big difference from the gas station e-cigs.... Takes a while to get used to the push button battery, you'll take drags without pressing the button and wonder why you didn;t get anything.... at least I did. Still do at least once a day.

Yeah this is the third switch that's came out for the 14650 EPower. The first was the crappy rubber one, then plastic button, and now a plastic button with a different color LED and 5-click on/off feature. The 18650 switch def had problems. Thats why I got the 14650 bc it didn't have all those problems, or at least not as many. Im still using all the original parts of my EPower. There is a new 18650 that just came out that supposedly has a much better switch but they completely redesigned it and I don't really like it anymore. The switch/button is now part of the tube and that was one of the things I really liked about the EPower. If a switch went bad you could just unscrew it and put on a new one. I'm not sure if you can replace the switch in the new 18650.
Quite a few manufacturers overestimate the mah for the 14650 battery. The highest actual mah that a 14650 battery can hold is about 1100mah so really anything over that is overestimated. Some say 1600mah and ive also seen 1300mah, but their actual mah is about 1050. Make sure if you buy any other batteries that they are protected. Unprotected batteries can be dangerous. Also be careful buying batteries overseas. Not all of them are real and they almost always have overestimated mahs. You can buy "trustfire" batteries on eBay that are really cheap and say they their 1300mah, but their actually fake trustfires and won't work at all in a lot of PVs, and when they do work, their awful, inconsistent and die quickly. So be careful buying batteries from unknown vendors. The cheapest I've found the 14650 batteries from a good vendor is from Hoosier. They used to sell them for $4, but now their $4.50, which is still not bad and much cheaper than eGo/riva/kGo batteries.
Like you said the Ressurectors work awesome on 3.7V PVs like the Riva, kGo, and EPower. I use them daily on a EPower and get avg 2-3 weeks out of one carto, with the longest being almost 7 weeks on one Ressurector. Many people like them on the eGo too, but they actually don't run at full potential on an eGo since the eGo is 3.4V. And you have to be careful using 1.5 and 1.7ohms on an eGo bc you can fry the mosfet. The eGos are nice but that's why I recommend 3.7V PVs if you really like LR attys and cartos. The 3.7V PVs will give a slightly warmer vape and alittle more TH than an eGo. They also handle LRs much better. I get about a day to a day and a half of pretty heavy vaping with the Ressurectors on my EPower and also occasionally use the 1.5om DC that is specifically designed for the EPower that work great too. I've used the 1.25ohm cartos too but don't like them as much. My EPower has been able to handle anything I throw at it.

DCV does have a good deal for the kGo but the one thing that I do like about getting it from Hoosier is that it comes with the big-bore cones which will allow you to use the XL clear cartos and not loose airflow with the cone on. If you don't use any clear cartos though, then it doesn't really matter

 

[Freddytk421]

It was a toss up for me. If either one would have stocked those echo-e cartomizers or had a passthrough in stock I would have went for that one. They are both good deals but I really like caromizers even though I have never tried an attomizer im already biased. I thought about the e-power but it looked kind of fat.

 

[Ferris419]

well i received my KGO today from Dark City Vapor and wow i must say im more than pleased so far this is definitely a great setup.... i would like to thank everyonefor your help in my decision!!!

 

[Bostonsnboxers]

I know I'm still lovin mine
Congrats, and enjoy!

 

[The_Jerkstore]

I went with hoosier for 2 reasons. A) Hoosier is a great vendor. B) His Kgos don't have the gold band around the button. His Kgos have a chrome band around the button. To me, nothing screams made in china junk more than gold on an ecig. Yes, I know the Kgos (and all Ego for matter) are made in China. Chrome just looks better and is worth a few more dollars.

 

[sandybeach]

I got the titanium color. It looks great with the chrome band.
