Can I use my new eGo right out of the box?

[badguy1971]

Hey all, happy day!!!!!

My shiney new eGo just arived along with some juice, attys, tips cartridges and cartomizers.
I dont wanna wait, I wanna just rip in to this thing and giv'er, but I hear you have to charge the batts for like 8 hrs first... is this true? will I wreck it if I try it out now, or can I just go and charge when it dies... I did get 2 batteries, one is on charge right now but this other one is calling to me...

Go ahead and vape a little on it. Most batteries do have some charge in them. but be sure as soon as the other one is fully charged to switch them. I think the 8 hour instructions are now outdated. But if you want, put it back on the charger when you go to bed and get it in the morning. I don't think that hurts it either.

They usually come with a partial charge and no you won't hurt it, Lion Batteries don't have a memory effect. Put one on the charger and hopefully it'll be done before the other needs charging.

I've had batteries that I used a little right out of the mail and some I've charged and I have never noticed any difference in performance.

Definitely go for it! Like sas says, change it out when the other one is charged. They come at least partially charged usually. Enjoy! You got a great pv.

Then come back on here and report your findings. Are you enjoying it? Did you get juice? What kind?

 

[aleyahevers]

Yay imma use mine that I got today! Enjoy your new vape!

You should prime the atty with a drop or two of juice, right on the bridge, it gets rid of the new atty taste and helps break it in faster.

oh this thing is AWESOME!!!!!
I love it!!!
only thing I have to figure out it filling my cartomizers, I have been refilling the cartomizers that came with my KR8 kit I got a week ago with the "condom method" no problem

... I need to cut my juice with VG as 24mg hits my throat way too harsh and I've learned that a 2:1 mix of straight vg to nic PG is about perfect, add a dash of flavour and go....

tonight I tried popping the top off of my new boge cartos I got to go with the eGo, and filling by dripping into the filling that way.

WELL, it seems my juice is too thick as it just pooled and sat on top, it would not soak in , even if I poked at it a little, so I left the top off and tried "condom method" from battery end, and all the juice came up the tube and still just sat on top of the filling LOL so anyways I'm vaping it right now, so far so good, and it's a wonderful vape so far, I hope this carto gets "broken in" lol thanks for help all!!!

If you have some distilled water, use just one drop per 10ml...this may help it to absorb a little better...and it also increases the vapor without affecting the flavor. Any more than that may reduce the flavor

Taryn Spin will take care of getting the juice into the filling very well

I put a few drops on my atty and than took filler out of carto, filled halfway with juice used paperclip to put filler in than added a few drops to top is that okay? Mines pretty harsh also i hear attys take a bit to "break" in.
