Hey GOGOnation,
I have a mod....my first mod.
If you happen to have had the ego-T atty....and you still have the blank(false)whistle tip that came with it.
Take a sharp knife or razorblade and cut the bottom of it off about where the fake air inlete is. It will fit the inside of the Go-carto as a makeshift drip/mouth tip.

I had my ego-t and gogo setting side by side in my work truck today and noticed the stovepipe of the t and end of the carto were about the same size. I picked them up,pulled out the tank and held them end to end. Got me thinkin.
Found my blank tip and trimmed it down.....fits pretty good.Took out the inside baffle and put the end baffle back in place....or you could take both baffles out. Give it a try.
I'd like to call it the "Panhandler GO cart mouthpiece mod" PGMM. LOL

You may be able to use a old tank for this too....don't throw them away.
This may help until they come out with a proper drip tip for them.

:thumbs: up on this 'tip mod' for the Go-go... worked for me! :)

Edit/update I have since been informed that on the below post this is not advisable sorry about this

TTW fwiw I received my Go Go Wednesday instead of sanding the charger for now I just took a tweezers and pulled up the post center post on the battery and then they took a charge fine. It was very easy to pull the center post up on both batteries.

I had to do this with one of my Go-go batteries (Easy! Pull up on that center post on the battery just a hair... it's VERY EASY to do with the edge of a small metal nail file)... and then it charged just fine. ;)

I'm glad you like it.
It will start to wear out after awhile...mine has fallen off in my pocket a couple times.
I hope jeannest can figure out what drip tip she found worked from her supplier,or they come out with some proper ones soon.

One thing you should know about your charger.....pull up on the charger post....not the battery post.
SSv2 says pulling up on the battery post can harm the battery....his post is some pages back.
I'll look for link.

Here it is post # 262 has some pictures.

Yes, The center post connector on the battery can be raised or lowered.... If you really wish to do that? :confused:

However, It was not designed to be moved in such a way. I have mentioned this in several different threads and for a good reason!
Although it (may seem like? )the center pin might get pushed down to where it negatively effects proper contact with the center post at the recieving hub of USB charger? Is not the case!

Regardless of whether this fix may work for some people it is not a stable solution and more importantly...attempting to modify the battery center pin is going to potentially damage your battery for good! Not to mention altering the manufacturers specific intended alignment of center pin when being essembled at the factory. This will null and void any warranty!

"I will not mess with the battery's center connector post"! :danger:
(repeat this over and over to yourself when tempted to try this)

Hopefully, to avoid anymore misinformation in the future:rolleyes: I have provided some pics to illustrate just how intriquite this battery is and how it can easily be damaged by someone not aquainted with the internal design structure.
View attachment 31950 View attachment 31951 View attachment 31952

Note: These pictures show battery wiring as it runs anteriorly and superiorly along circuit board attached at various points to power Manual switch and activate LED and then (pos) + wire extends to posterior aspect of battery connector pin.


These photos show center post (center pin) pulled out from where it should remain fixed at base on superior aspect of battery where it is planted firmly agaisnt a dense silicone based o ring which acts a sealant as well cushion base when pressure is applied downward (i.e. screwing on a cartomizer and attachment to USB Charging unit) View attachment 31954 View attachment 31955
Examine the size of this center pin...it is very delicate at point where wire attaches. The wire normally stretches just enough to attach to posterior end of connector pin when fixed against the base.
If you tried to pull this connector pin out as far as shown in picture the wire would have snapped off long before. The red wire is not attached to battery in the last two pictures so, I could provide this visual.

For demonstational purposes I photographed a Go-Go battery that I have taken apart and put back together after months of personal research and testing of this model from early prototype to the 2nd (ed.) newly revised model that is currently out on market.

At least Two very common things can occur when this center pin is moved or lifted even slightly.
1. space is created between base of connecter pin to opening into battery where e-liquid can get in more easily and damage internal circuitry.
2. Wire connecting to center pin is stressed to point where it can easily become detached from where it is soldered on pin. Once this occurs it is not an easy fix and your battery is useless!





This is a whole other topic of its own...Sanding down the rim of charger (properly) is at the least a much wiser modification not to mention a cheaper part to replace than a new 1300mAh Go-Go battery. The newest chargers are already starting to implement this mod before shipment from factory. Some kits already contain the newer revised chargers in them now and do not require this modification. More later on that...I took photos of both adapters floating around out there now. Some work fine right out of box...others may require a little filing down?


Hope this helps....at least someone?:)

I see lots of people are having issues, but just wanted to add that I have had NO issues with my battery or the button.
I love the GoGo. I purchased mine from CigEasy on March 6th... very fast delivery and the RY4 and 555 juices purchased from them are Excellent!

Just my 2 cents.

I would say there has only been two issues: Charging which can be easily fixed by sanding or cutting the black rim down on the charger and the condensation/button, which hasn't been come but also easily fixed. All in all and as compared to the eGo I am spending much more time pleasantly vaping.
It took me two min max to fix the charger and since then I have had no issue. I conceptually liked 510 cartos but the go-carts are much much better.

the charger is the only issues i have had with it but that was know about and how to fix it before i ordered it.so not a big issue at all.and the the condensation one is starting to apier so a wipe down of the battery and cart,o will fix that one. but that one i think happens if you are vaping alot.it has not happen to me yet so i can not really tell for sure but with as few issues have had with the gogo to the ego tanksthe gogo is alot better deal.

Condensation or ... too much juice?

The only time I've found any liquid/moisture on the battery ... it was e-liquid. Since I've literally cleaned up my act ... it has never reoccurred. No more topping off with the Go-Cart still on the battery worked for me.

Yep... same here :thumbs:

I clean my the battery connection side of my go-cart after I fill with liquid. Sometimes I overfill as it takes so much I stop counting the drops :)
I just use tweezers and a tiny bit of toilet paper and one of the tweezers goes on the inside of the carto (in between the outside and the middle-battery-connector-cricle) and the part of the tweezers are on the outside of the carto. I don't know if that makes any sense but I find it cleans it well if it is overfilled

But I haven't had any "condensation" issues
