How many problems with missfires with ego..riva or leo batteries. For me zero since august. The go-go batteries ??

I'm not having any problems misfiring with my Riva lites using boge 2.0lr cartos. I had problems with an intermittent button when I first got my gogos from Nhaler but when I ran them down to zero, and recharged them, I never had any problems with the button since. I also had the red/yellow/green problem with them at first but when I did as I said, I put them on the charger as per the "guide" and they go red and stay there until fully charged.I never had to turn a button to get it to work, so I have no experience with that fix. I have 2 Nhaler kits and I keep two gogos in use all the time. My gogos run on their batteries for approx 2-3 days before they blink, based on my spreading out the usage.

We never had an update since you tried to charge them from zero. How'd that come out?

No change....sometimes it will work for a couple hours total trouble free...then the next 30 minutes numerous miss fires then work again for a couple hours. Both batteries really weird for sure

I just think it is a quality control issue from china....as most have no problems but there are some out there that do have problems

No, it's consistent! Using it right now actually. About every 3rd draw I have to re-aline the button. I don't know how these are made but I can't see why a button would need to be in a certain alinement. You'd think it'd just press down on a middle part to make a circuit. The other 3 aren't as picky. But I hate the gold/copper color and this one is silver so I put up with it.

I kinda wonder if a tiny drop of rubber cement might hold it in place LOL

Perhaps we need to find a way of combining the eGo-T/Riva/Tornado/Trex batteries reliability with the awesome Vaping qualities of the Go Go Cartos. I think that would fix everyones problems with both units.

Just a thought from the Vapor Brained mind of me :D

510 batt to gogo cartos adaptor would be nice and I'm sure it's coming soon. That's where the vendors will make their money, selling gogo cartos for 510 apps. But the battery problem should be put in perspective. Hundreds have bought the gogo kit with no problems and love it for the superior vaping qualities but those who have problems rightfully come to this thread for solutions. It's all worth our efforts to hammer out a solution for them. Were all beta testers here of a new product. For some, with high parameters and expectations, the gogo may not be the unit for them. Overall though, I do feel the gogo should be as trouble free as a riva or ego. Not as good, but just as trouble free. For me I leave the house many days at 6AM and return at 6 or 7PM if I have a gig. I take a riva 510 with a boge lr carto and a gogo with my juice of the day. I've never run out of either or had a batt/button/carto falure. Just tonight I did carto maintenence on 10 cartos I had laying around. some were half full, some were full of juice I didn't like and were laying around for three weeks and some looked like the south end of the ganges river, all dark brown and muddy. They all washed out very clean and pure with no hint of aftertaste using the method in the guide. I'm baking them now and will start over with them tomorrow. This is my second cleaning for some and I'll see how well they perform tomorrow. So far I haven't used up a carto and that's with some very sweet mixes and some 100% VG.

Try pushing the button off centered, just on the left side and see what happens. Just a hunch.

Not so sure a 510 adapter is going to get the same results on the go-go catomizers. These go-go batteries are just a hair higher on voltage...we all know what higher voltage does. Just before I got my go-go batteries dead after 27 hours the voltage was still 3.5 volts.

That's a great point, MGM. Still at 3.5V in a discharged state is good. You're right an ego or riva may not provide a kick over the range of the battery to give a good hit on the gocarts.

Oh I agree wholeheartedly and that was very very well put, I feel kinda left out other than for "Optional refits" as my Go Go has been trouble free since day one. I have only opened a total of four cartos and I rotate them daily, when one is empty I take it off run hot water through it, bunch op a paper towel in the mouthpiece end and taryn spin it to get the majority of the water wicked away from the filler. Then I set it battery side down and allow it to dry as I go through my other filled cartos. This system ensures I have a good supply of unopened carts as well as a nice rotation of four opened ones.

I wish I had more suggestions for fixing the battery issues though, hopefully with this next shipment they might solve this issue. Here's Hoping

That's the only way it works most the time... and it almost never works in my left hand.

And yes it clicks when pressed every time.

OK, bear with me, here. Pull your carto off the battery and clean the contacts very well with the end of a paper towel and then clean the battery end of the carto. See if your button works normal then. Process of elimination, you know. :) When I did this the first time my battery stsrted firing again like it should. Stsarted acting up again and I cleaned the posts again and it was fine for a while. You would be surprised how much gunk came off on the towel when I cleaned it.

I could be wrong...but was there 3 batches of go-go from cigeasy? First batch no problem batteries? Second batch is where bad batteries coming from? Now cigeasy has batch 3.

Dont know nothing of nhaler's gold band go-go's...he has been sold out of them for a while.

I dont think any other vendors

Mine will miss fire with and with out carto installed. When I got phone call from Frank I could not get either one to work at all. twisted the button just a little counter clock wise and they worked. Drained dead recharged overnite....now they work for hours start messing up and then work again for hours then mess up again
