Wow! So the 3.3V-4.2V is accurate!?

I am picking up a MM tomorrow to check for myself. With my V2 and Elite, I could really perceive the drop off in voltage over the charge, but not on these Rivas (901 and 510).

I may have to pick up a VV Riva or eGo just so I can get a consistent voltage. Really just waiting to see what the Riva Indulgence V4 has to offer once it's released.

Thanks for walking me through this, Txtumbleweed.

Many VV mods do a great job in raising or lowering the voltage, but if you really want consistent voltage, especially under load, you need a ProVari V2.

Quoted for truth! You know it, I know it, we all know it!

Oh man! I love your pup! What a handsome mug!

Funny, I just changed my avatar, but the white one you refer to was my foster from around Xmas. The rattie in my avatar is my guy, and the pup next to him is a foster pit bull who is about out the door.

Duster is a big sweetheart. Thick as a brick, but she's a great companion for my 4 boys.

That's because it's not true. They are un-regulated as far as I know.

That is the first time I've heard the Rivas are PWM controlled and shut off under 3.7 volts. I wouldn't think a 650 battery would hold a charge very long if that was true. I haven't bought or researched the Riva battery recently so I don't know about any design changes. Maybe someone has some new data they could share with us.

I've been using a GoGo for about 8 months now and for the most part I'm happy with it. The only think I don't care for is how long the cartos last. I read about how they last a couple weeks for some people, but I'm lucky if I can get 5 days out of them. By the fourth or fifth day, the flavor and TH fall off to the point where I get almost nothing out of them. I don't fool around with cleaning them and since they're cheap enough, I just toss them.
I see they now have a DCCC for the GoGo. I see from reviews that many people like them more than the standard cartos. What I'm wondering is, do they last longer than the standard cartos or is the higher price all about nore flavor?.

I like the regular Go-carts best myself. The duals didn't last me as long as regualar ones. The poly tubes cracked after a couple of days. Many people really like them alot though and they do produce lots of vapor.

Thanks for the info. IMO, they would have to be twice as good as the standard carts to justify the cost and I just can't see that happening. Right now it's costing me about $15 a month to vape, using the standard carts and that works for me.

My Go carts really last. My wife's very first carto from January is still being used...that's 3 months from one. I gave it a good rinsing last night for the first time, then blew it out real good and this morning she is good as new...it's even crackling!

I have given up all my other PV's....and I had them all..... for the simple, consistent GoGo.

TIP! If you want to adjust the draw on your GoGo do what GG's have been doing since their AVS version one.
Get an O-ring that is a bit smaller than the diameter of the go carts and slide it down to where that carto and battery meet.
Depending on how snug you put it down there...you will now be able to adjust the draw. This works great.

I tried an 0-ring for a while and I couldn't control the air restriction very well. I now use tape, wrapped around the base of the cart. I completely cover all of the holes except one. The last hole, I partially cover. Works very well and gives a perfect draw every time.

All of my carts must be defective, if you're getting months out of them. I've gone through at least 50 carts, none have them have lasted me over a week. What supplier can I get these great carts from?

I think 5 to 10 days is pretty standard with most Go-go Cartos before they need cleaning. It mainly is what type of juice you use. The clear and menthol last longer and don't gunk the coils as quick. When the price is 5 for 8.88 I don't bother cleaning mine. I don't throw them away though, I save them in case I need them someday. Nice to see this thread pop up again!

I use dekang 100% PG. What's odd is that some of their cartos last longer than others. The one I'm using now is still working well and tomorrow will be six days. It won't last much beyond that, but it's a good one. I can usually tell from the start if it will be a good one or not. Either way, I'm still happy with the Go-Go. The flavor is good, I don't have to fiddle with them much and the cartos are cheap enough that I can just toss them when I'm done. I bought 25 cartos from Gotvapes last week and they were the lowest price I've seen yet.

You got your cartos cheaper than 5 for $8.88?

I really like the dual coils but the plastic does crack. Now I put a strip of clear packing tape around them as soon as I get them and that takes care of the cracking problem.

He has them for 8.65 for 5. Pretty close to 8.88 that DV and Cropduster sells them for. I didn't even know GotVapes sold the Go-Go. Of course if you buy 25 with the 5% off it makes a difference. It sure is alot cheaper than the 15.00 we were paying for five when they first came out and only two suppliers were selling them.

 

[GoodDog]

Yeah, I remember those days!! LOL DV has the 5% discount for customers after their 5th order, so it's all about the same. I prefer DV because...well, I like Eric.

I do the same thing you do tx, after I clean them and do a dry burn I throw them in a box for emergencies...without the filler. I have a bunch I can add filler to if they're ever needed.

If you put vaseline on the o-ring it will work. It was the way I adjusted the juice control on my AVSv1 GGTS feeding system. I can almost block it completely that way.
I also when I open a new carto take a flat needle file that I have and push the filling down a bit past the round center plastic hole, then I take the file and go down the inside against the metal outer circumference to loosen it a bit. That's all I do and just NEVER let her run dry
February 12 was the start date on the carto I am currently using. I rinsed it for the first time a few days ago. I generally use light to medium colored juices. I also used a carto cleaning kit which is just a 20-30 ml syringe with the needle end off and a tube in its place that forces water thru the carto with a lot of pressure. I have only used it once the other day however on Go-Go carto's.That's about it..I believe I bought these from rolandpib here on ECF used we may need to ask him...

I was going to buy them from DV, but after I placed my order with them, I found out they changed their payment system and now use paypal. I don't do paypal, so I did a search to find another supplier and found Gotvapes. Their shipping was as fast as the fastest suppliers I've dealt with.

I keep coming back here and check to see if anything better than the Go-Go has hit the market and it hasn't happened yet. Looks like they're going to be a tough one to top.

DV has other payment methods than paypal.
