Frustrated with vaping equipment

[danarmstrong]

I was excited to get home today to get my new juice and some new C3 bottom coil carts. Well, I am still new at this and the carts do not fit my battery. I have the SLB Kgo and the threads are female on the battery and male on the cart , well the carts I got are female. They do not fit my old 801 passthrough, I think it is an 801 penstyle. Anyway, what battery do I need to get or can I order a Viva Nova or C3 bottom coils or any good tank type no filler type cart for my SLB Kgo.
Depressing when I waited all week and have no fresh carts for my new juice.

I have SLB kGo and the Vivi Nova works just fine with it, I usually use CE2 with the kGo. or the Fluxomizer from gotvapes.com, it is a no filler type.

 

[danarmstrong]

What am I looking for when ordering carts or anything that screws on top of the Kgo battery to know it is the right thread size?
I have read standard 501, well I thought it said these were compatible with a 501, maybe needs an adapter or something. The ones I bought were the VOLT C3 bottom coils clearomizer.

 

[RickMc]

It sounds like you got the KR-808-D1 ("808") version of the CE3. The KGO is compatible with 510 threads. The good news is that 510 is the most common threading there is, and a ton of heads are made with that threading. This includes the CE3's - the 510 versions are more common and easy to find.

 

[danarmstrong]

Rick, could you point me at some I would appreciate it. How do I know what version I am getting.

 

[Clovery]

The vivi nova will work on your KGO; it is 510 threaded. When ordering CE3s, be sure that it says "510" and not "808". As you can see from this page, there are two different products:

GotVapes™ Cartomizers : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more

You would want these for the KGO: GotVapes PHOENiX™ Bottom Coil XL 1.5ml Cartomizer 2.4-2.6ohms [gv-PHOENIX-XL-2.4-510] - $11.95 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more

If you can't use the 808 carts, you could always try to trade them in the classifieds or the PIF forum.

I buy my Vivi Nova's from madvapes.com, but they're out of stock at the moment - I just checked. Link is here: Vision 3.5ml Nova Tank Clearomizer, V2. They call them V2 and show them with short wicks, but they are actually V2.5 with long wicks.

As far as the CE3's, I don't use them - they are available various places, but I wouldn't know whether they're all the same manufacturer/quality. One place I know that has them is here: CE3 - 5 Pack

Anybody know a good source for Phoenix bottom coils in 510 threading to recommend?

 

[RickMc]

The vivi nova will work on your KGO; it is 510 threaded.

Ooops... first read was "will NOT work"...never mind!

 

[RickMc]

One more addition: I forgot about Gotvapes - their CE3's have been well reviewed. Good steer from Clovery on those.

 

[Cookster]

You can just get an 808 to 510 adapter and the Volt clearos will work on your kGo...

 

[RickMc]

The rest of us missed that...yes, you can! Google 510 808 adapter

My Alzheimer's is progressing nicely....

Thanks guys, I am planning on making another order this week, was quite bummed about my new carts not working, but on a high note, I got my Gandalf juice from heathersheavenly and man , it is as good as you guys said for sure, I love it,, had to blow out and puff the hello out of a cart until it was empty before tasting it but man I really like it,,,
Thanks again for all the replies, I think this week I am going to buy a Viva Nova and maybe get an adapter so I can use those carts I got. Any suggestions on my next battery purchase. I only have the 2 that came with my SLB Kgo and not sure what I want to get.
I really want a provari, but I think I will talk the wife into that for my B, Day coming in a month,

Will these work on my battery , what would be the best battery for these, or are they good,
510 EGO Black Super Excalibur 6ml Tank [Black Super Excalliber] - $7.00 : Vapors Choice, Ecigarettes & Parts
These are the 510 EGO Black Super Excalibur 6ml Tank - what is the deal with these. i want something that works great and is dependable. I wouldn't say money isn't an issue but I do not mind paying $30 or $40 for a part that will last like the battery or a tank thingy.
Still new I know, but I think folks spend so much on analogs when they see they can stop smoking, I can spend a few hundred buks over a few weeks and get the right good quality stuff and not have to keep chunking things in the trash can like carts and stuff.

These will work 510 to 901/808-D Adapter, I keep a collection of adapters for 510, 808, 801, 401, 4081, eGo, sealed and unsealed...(admitting you have a problem is the first step in......)

I love the admitting part.,, LOL,,, I know I have a vaping problem, I can say in just the few weeks I have been trying to get my vaping world together, I no longer wake in the morning hacking up loads of stuff till I can breath,, the wife is impressed, I am down to around 8 to 10 analogs a day after 3 or 4 weeks. My goal of course is 0 a day but still looking for that perfect vape. I know its out there, just stumbled a little with a screwed up purchase. Will be ordering adapters ASAP.
Would be sweet if madvapes had the viva nova and maybe something else cool I could buy this week to save on shipping buying from 3 different vendors.
Thanks,
Dan

You will be better off to order cartos with ego threads like the Ego Vision 2 cartos or Kanger T2's work great on a Kgo. The Vision Vivi Nova works best on a bigger mod.

RickMc, as a newbie, I'm still confused about something. Ad says: " This tank comes with 3 replaceable heating elements. One (1) each of 1.8, 2.4 and 2.8 ohms. So you can choose the one that produces the best experience for you. "

Okay, exactly "how" would one's "experience" be different with a 1.8, 2.4, or 2.8? I mean, what exactly do you experience when using those different things on lets say an Ego Twist?

I really have no idea what subtle differences would be inherent in any of those.

You would use the lower ohm coils with lower voltages and the higher ohms at higher voltages.

Go to GotVapes at forum suppliers and look up the Vision Nova V2.5 They have a great video on the Nova that really helped me

..... I know I have a vaping problem, ........ but still looking for that perfect vape. I know its out there, ........Would be sweet if madvapes had the viva nova and maybe something else cool I could buy this week to save on shipping buying from 3 different vendors. ......

Madvapes always has something cool to order.......if you're still smoking a bit they have juice, TopVapor, a couple bucks for 5 mL and you can get up to 36 mg nicotine. It was the 36 mg that was able to get me to completely quit. Lemon The higher level nic is always handy when you get a major craving, a quick chain vape and you're good.....

or a Black eGo Battery, 350mAh on sale for stealth vaping $10....

or take the plunge to 5v vaping ....5 Volt Box Mod with Black Horn Switch also on sale.

With vaping it isn't a problem in finding something cool to buy,
it's in keeping from buying one of everything!!
