Yes, I'm still using my ego and ego tank but lots of my juices just don't come through. What am I missing? I had thought about getting an inferno tank system but are they not just like the Ego Tank setup? It isn't my juice, I'm vaping 12 and 18 mg. What do you suggest? And I have cleaned out the atty's and it gets better maybe for an hour or so. Thanks

Hey sickofanalogs, I went through similar dissatisfaction with my large eGo-T collection. From almost the beginning, the flavor was below my standard that I had acquired from using KR808D-1s. The clogging was my other problem. I read the forums discussing how to work on them to get them functioning again. Then, one day, I stumbled upon a new, large capacity cartomizer type PV called Go-go. I took a chance and ordered one. It was the best move I have made since I starting vaping over a year ago!. Huge clouds of vapor and long lasting with a 3 ml capacity. It takes around 90 drops to fill compared to 24 drops on my KR808D-1s. I've had mine 3 weeks and it is still operating like the first day!!! The flavor is just as hoped, excellent and the 3 ml Go-cart lasts me 24 hrs. I've been refilling like that for over two weeks and it takes around 45-55 drops!

Good luck on your search!

Hello sickofanalogs, (Greyrat looks like i am following you ha., but the word has to get spread right?)
As Greyrat has said, GO GO .... GO GO..
I am only at the end of my first week with the GO GO BUT!... He ain't a lying... I Got my unit filled 2 carts, each with a amazing 90 - 95 drops of juice. I did one a nice watermelon, coconut, and wintergreen mix from tasty vapor and the other filled with a bavarian creme fudge sweet heaven from Madvapes.. Ok Each morning i top off with 30 to 40 drops. The Battery which you get two of course is a amazing 1300 mah. I always thought i vaped pretty heavy and i am replacing that after about every day and a half.
The vapor is still amazing. the Flavor tastes like I think it should.. which of course is what it is about. Any drawbacks? I will say this, If you remember anything about the draw on the 801, the almost cool airy feeling full of flavor.. i could almost say it is comparable to that. I do feel like because it is like sucking a cigar, the nic does seem to do it's job much better. I am a little more wired than dripping with a 306 on my exhaler.. Don't know why that would be..
So all and all, a good move to go to. And for 60 dollars in the big scope... It's way worth the price of the experience.
Go Greyrat..

The go-go is a proprietary thread unit. Don't fall for that scam.

Did you have any other atomizer and cartomizer's besides the tank? If your looking for capacity, there are quite a few tank options out there that do not kill the flavor as bad as the ego-t system. The inferno is just a rebranded ego-tank.

Also the smart carts have a decent capacity and performance if you like carts and attys. I'll do a pic of one of those.

Stownz Says: The go-go is a proprietary thread unit. Don't fall for that scam.

Hey Stownz, The last time i posted with a little message i said i am not trying to be a wise guy, well now that is done. Why? Do you have a GO GO Kit? I can tell the answer is No. Because you wouldn't fall for a scam.. I am using the Go Go and i am totally happy with it. You judge before trying. Just stop it.... you are not the great vaping wizard from oz that can determine how good a product is without trying it..
So for everyone else but Stownz the Wizard, Read other opinions that count. Like the people that had the interest in trying it. Thanks,
Take that Stownz,, of course i am joking with all this but come on let people decide on comments from people that are using them..

If you take a paper clip and pry out the two bridge pieces in the whistle tip, I just take the one in the middle of the whistle tip out and put the one on the end, back in, it seems to increase the flavor a bit ..if it is real weak leave them both out it wont hurt a thing, might get some condensation in your mouth from the vapor, but its not as bad as raw juice....

From another "nameless forum"
I wrote back and said that I thought it might be a good idea for him/them to remove the go-go from the KR808D-1 product category, since it isn't one. I mean how stupid....AND there isn't even some adapter to make it work with regular KR808 cartos. WHAT sense does that make??? I had it in my cart, I had EVERYTHING filled out in the purchase form and for some reason, I don't know, I just felt ambivalent, and decided to do more investigation...THANKFULLY I didn't order it. I would have been REALLY upset. I have NO interest in using a different product, even with an adapter. But the fact is that the go go ONLY works with the cartos that are designed for it, and people are complaining about the size of them, as they are a larger diameter and uncomfortable for some people. They are hoping a drip tip or some similar device becomes available to correct this. BUT there may never be one. Soooooo glad I dodged THAT bullet!
from the same forum
I too have researched these GOGO batteries and relate I too Juliery's frustration. I own both the Elegant 750mAh and Elegant 1300Mah KR808D-1 fat batt's from Cig Easy. Prefer my Elegant 750 just because I love that pearlized Gold finish over the black!

Ironically, I noticed Cig Easy is going to start carrying the GO-GO as mentioned on ECF in the vendor section. I contacted Frank (Owner of Cig Easy) and he explained that his GO-GO Kit will differ as it will be more customized to look like the Elegant 1300 and will include a special customized adapter so it will be KR808D-1 cartomizer friendly!My concern is whether this adapter really works well with my other gear and is not a hassle to use. Keep it simple!

Since this is a customized mod of the GO-GO he is still awaiting shippment of the new kits to come in before he puts them on the site for sale. I will update If or when I hear anything new!

I am uncertain to whether being able to use a 3ml G0-GO cartomizer is worth the hype? I am very content with my Elegant batteries though as Juliery mentioned in regards to having a 1300mAh battery in another color other than black would be nice..particularly if Cig Easy offers these new kits with the option of a Gold pearlized finish like the Elegant 750mAh? If so, I may break down and buy another kit

Only time will tell....Meanwhile, In my opinion it would seem silly to purchase a G0-GO unless they start offering special adapters to use specifically for that batt so it can be used with other cartomizers otherwise it just seems too extreme to purchase a proprietary device that will not be compatible with other cartomizers!
Dude dont come around here tring to sell crap to members that want honest feedback so the second thing you should have said was, now this go go kit wont work with ANYTHING you already have and probably never will so its compatable with nothing on the market except juice... go sale that crap elsewhere!!!!

I see someone moded their tank atty to fit on a big batt mod....nice i went to good prophets and got a .99 cent 510 extender for charging ego batts with a 510 standard charger works well but it kinda sticks up a bit and looks a little funny but......

Ok, i am done here..
No one made me buy this Go Go. I knew from the start it was all self contained. It works, I am totally happy with the vape. I load up, with 3 mil, push a button and bam.. Massive vapor, i also had to slow down cause i am positive i am getting way more nic this way... So i say for those of you that have some thought about the Go Go.... Get one and from my experience you will be happy. Slumdog, Dude, (there's no reason for that) I posted with proof that it was a good system for ME! Buying it & trying it. And way back in the original posts it was mentioned by various folks that it was a inclusive system. so i followed the rules. Please slow down and read all posts before yelling at anyone.
For those of you that have to get aggressive on any level.. have a good day.
Go Greyrat...

I've had the same issue with the Tank.Works well with a new 12-14 dollar atty for a short time then the flavor vanishes!? I picked up a pack of 510 attys,cartridges and atty cover for the Tank battery and it's working much better.Also the eGo cartomizer (5 pack for around 12-14 bucks) works very well for much longer.Think the Tank is soon to be retired.

It's nothing personal tdwave, its just that this is ECF. Here we are trying the help people, honestly trying to help them make the switch from analogs to ecigs and be smoke free for the first time in their lives. Part of that process is helping new people make informed decisions. You sharing your experience is exactly that, but your missing the impact of a very important piece of information a new user needs:

Go-go is proprietary. If a new guy doesn't like it, or vapes someone elses unit and likes it better--- the go go goes in the trash can. There is nothing you can do with it if you are not happy. If someone is unhappy with an ego they can change atomizers/cartomizers/cartridge types. If they buy all these other types of attys, they can use them on future MODS as well. Nothing you can buy for a go go is usefull for anything other then a go-go. The only reason for a proprietary design is to LOCK a newbie into a Fail design.

Stownz, I do understand what you mean and the way you wrote that is all i was trying to convey. No aggression and yes I have a large arsenal of pv's also. My fav is my xhaler with the 306 lr tip.. So i do understand the need to mix and match. My whole attitude was how you and a couple others came across without explaining just what you did. So I tip my hat to you and this is all i wish people would do here. Yes this is ECF,,, A newbie coming in reading comments like you orig wrote is also not fair play also.
So i apologize to you and anyone else i might have zapped.

People, calm down, I am not selling anything! I only responded to sickofanalogs experiences with eGo and eGo-Ts, that were similar to mine. Most people that have had bad experiences and then find a good solution, will tell someone that asks.

On the scam issue I suppose you could call all business a scam if one invents something new and no one else has it. The new thing may be so fine that tons of people want it and the only place you can get it is from the inventor. To prevent someone from copying it and taking away all of the biz, the inventor gets a patent. The patent lasts long enough so that the inventor can recover expenses and possibly make a profit. If the competitors want to compete they have to pay the patent holder a percentage of their profit. The patent protects the inventor. If the inventor's idea was stolen and no benefits came out of the brilliance and hard work, then they would not pursue that activity anymore.

I have nothing to do with the business related to the Go-go. It is a new invention and will not fit any existing threads, (although any mechanically oriented type that has a lathe could machine some adapters to hook to other batteries). It works great and it has allowed me to have more time for my activities instead of having to spend a huge amount of it tinkering with a temperamental PV.

Remember, sickofanalogs was asking for other ideas.
