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

Third batch just got released. I don't think there's been enough time for them to be delivered yet. Many people who got fired up over the gogo bought the second batch and most are happy with the unit. There does seem to be more button issues with that batch than with others. As I stated, I had some problems with the button at first with the Nhaler, first kit, but charging and changing the way I vaped the device to avoid condensation at the connections seemed to solve the problems. Now all four of my units work perfectly. I'd be the first one screaming on the site if i had problems.

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

Maybe you should have returned the product and taken the full refund they offered. :)

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

I've had several bad ego batteries. One was DOA and I've had others just die. I haven't ran into the charger or floating post problems on them but there aren't any perfect e-cig batteries that I've found. The Go-cart is by far the best carto I've used so if I get a flaky battery I'll send it back and get another one but mine are all working good. I have one kit from Nhaler and one from cigeasy 2nd batch and I've found no difference.

Yes I was offered a full refund....I chose not to do that as I am satisfied enough to use them.....

I have never told any one not to buy one.....just might buy another kit waiting to see results on third batch

I have been vaping a steady 6 hours on one battery now for 6 hours no miss fires (knock on wood) I cant explain it sometimes works for hours then goes crazy for 30 minutes then all fine. Neither frank or ssv2(cigeasy) can explain it either. What I find harder to understand both my batteries do it while others never have a missfire.

Just for compaision I use about 3 ml's a day..

That's probably a great strategy. See what the feedback is on the third batch and get your back ups. :)

I am just holding off on buying another Go Go to allow others who missed out on Batch 2 to get one :D And to test out the "Turbine" for the eGo-T and see how well it works. I know I love the type B atty's for it they have given me Zero problems thus far. However that being said the Go Go is definitely my Primary PV as it has the best TH, Flavor and Vapor production I have seen yet.

Never had a click problem with mine, though I did go through charger and post issues. I do let my batteries run down to the ten blinks then fully charge again..from Nhaler. Yes I do the tap thing when I fill. I've done it with a syringe but I find it just as easy to drop from the top, tap, fill more until I get the telltale drop out the bat end. I generally top each night, 10 to 20 drops depending how much I've been hitting it because I've been spending time testing juice samples by dripping my 501. I'll probably buy another Go-go at some stage, would prefer to have the issues ironed out. Prefer cartos without paper wrapping too. Not sure if I want to mix brass with silver, plus if it has a logo I'd prefer it say Go-go.

Did everyone get 1 wonky battery and 1 good battery??? Over the past couple of months reading over this thread, that's what it seems like to me! Me thinks they split them up in the factory like that.

I bought 2 kits (4 batteries) from CigEasy, and all of my batteries were perfect. I've had no problems at all except for overfilling a carto once (my fault).

For what it's worth - I have a 2nd batch kit from CigEasy which is my only PV and has been in daily use since I got it last week Friday with zero issues. This includes rotations of both 2nd generation Go-carts from CigEasy and some 1st Gen Go-Carts from Nhaler.

The only adjustment I've ever had to make is about a 1/8 rotation of the cart on the battery if I've over / under tightened it when swapping carts to make that ideal contact.

I do have to say I dont like running my battery 10 flash dead. The voltage drops to low and the vapor and th drop off too much. cigeasy is trying to get the maker to shut down the battery just a little sooner so the voltage does not go to low so that vapor and th drop off too much.

Just maybe this might be a difference between us having problems and those not having problems? Those having no problems are you running down to 10 flash dead?

Hey mgmrick, I am disappointed with the problems you've had with the Go-go. I didn't have those issues with mine but had a problem with recharging. I had tightened my first battery much too tight to get the light to come on 3 times. I decided, after looking closely at the recharger that the plastic was sticking up too high to allow the battery to screw in all the way. I contacted Frank and he said to pull the contact up a small amount. I had already done the sanding on the recharger, so never did what he suggested.

When I got my 2nd kit from CigEasy, the new Go-carts would not work on #1 battery, but would work fine on all the rest. So now I need to raise the contact on #1 to make it functional with all my Go-carts, even though #1 works fine with the 1st generation Go-carts.

I totally agree with you about making the shut down sooner. When any Go-go battery I have starts to run low, the vapor decreases very noticeably. I don't like that and I tend to recharge then instead of letting it go 10 blinks empty. That's good that CigEasy is working on that issue. Maybe version 3 will have that.

Good luck with the battery problem.

1 of the 4 batteries I have has been flaky. The button always clicks, but on occasion it won't light, will delay in lighting, or will light for only a second or two (sometimes coming back on - sometimes not). I've tried all the workarounds -- rotating the button slightly, clicking it rapidly 5 times, pushing the button off-center, etc. Yesterday, I tried running the battery all the way down ("10 flash dead") and then recharged it. It still flakes on me - maybe not as much as before, but the problem persists.

Without knowing anything about the design, manufacture or assembly of the battery components, I've concluded it's simply a quality control issue related to a relatively new product and, in time, the bugs will be worked out. My main concern continues to be what the life-span of the "good" batteries will be, and the jury is still out on that one.

Of the 4 batteries in rotation between my wife and I, I have only run down to full dead a total of 4 times...twice when we first got them (by accident) and then two other individual times in a successful effort to "correct" a randomly misfiring unit,

Otherwise have had no problems and, regardless of amount of use, the batteries that got used during the day go on the charger overnight,

Aside from the, of the 5 units I've personally had go thru me for other people, only 1 other battery had issue. That was a never fire issue, and was resolved by turning the button...I guess.

I also would welcome an earlier shutdown, but my guess is that it will require only require about a 1/2 volt adjustment, or so.

I dont know why...maybe ssv2 can comment on this......

The battery I have been using since about 4pm yesterday has not missed fired still vaping well about 16 hours of heavy use. It seems these things are mini computers and the more use the better they get. Mine are about 10 days old...

Yeah Rick, you could be right. All my glitches happened in the first week of owning mine. After that All 4 batts have been trouble free and as dependable as a freshly opened pack of camel lights. :)

It is unfortunate that we need to " breakin" but maybe time will tell. Maybe the longer we use them less problems. I can only assume that cigeasy and nhaler dont want this to be the case. Just like us users they want these to work out of the box.

Yes just a little quicker shut down voltage, I know with my ego,riva and leo batteries I run them right down to the flashes. Maybe that is why they never give me trouble. where with the go-go I dont run them all the way down because the vape tapers off too much

I'll comment just in case someone is following the numbers. I have two kits, both from CigEasy and ordered at different times, so I don't know what generation I have. Both kits have worked perfectly out of the box. No filing or tweaking anything at all. I just charge and vape. Yep, I'm a very happy vaper and very please with the GoGo. :)

I do run mine down to the shutdown point most of the time and mine haven't missfired but I don't think it is necessary other than maybe the first couple of times you use it or if it starts missfiring. I do agree they should have the cutoff voltage a little higher but I usually get the low vapor for a very short time before it cutsoff and it is hard to tell whether it is low voltage or low juice in the cart at the time.
