Doesn't the Kgo have a propietary connection or battery that's required? Maybe I'm thinking of the Go-Go?

Next question; why aren't there more drip tips for ego type a and b cones? Or an adapter to 510 drip tips since that seems to be a common starter kit?

The Kgo has a female 510 thread and also has a wider male eGo thread on the outside just like all the eGo class PVs.

Cartridge+ atomizer I know very little about- a friend bought one and that was enuff for me....and him.

The Kgo and the eGo have the same threading:

Said he onced had them in stock but was told his license would be pulled if he continued. False threat??? IDK but it was enuff for him to drop PVs that had nicotine.
Then he should open a store next door. I have seen a comment from a retailer that a well known brand was pushing them into selling only their products. The brand called combining their equipment with OEM as 'de-branding' and causing problems even though they don't make anything comparitive. That's always an issue when one system gains too much market dominance and laziness. The retailer should have jumped ship and taken another look at competition in the market -IMHO. I rarely see a full line of Kanger AND Nova products in the same store and wondered if that was going on there too; "If you sell that of their's, we won't sell you this of our's" BS. But it happens.

Still, a b&m store should have a wall of kitschy impulse buys next to the register. Lanyards, cases, adapters, everything. While Googling for the 13000mah battery I keep looking at Chinese drop shippers and there's tons available. I am testing the waters with a fancy case, a couple of different lanyards, a diabetic case (I can use it for electonic adapters if I don't like it for this), etc.

Here was one that surprised me; Quit Smoking 2200mAh 2.8ml Lava Tube V2.0 E-cigarette HKH-116616 - TinyDeal
Most of the others were branded E-Tek even if they claimed to be ego.

I know a Vendor that was "threatened" if they didn't carry only a certain manufacturer's product. He told them if he didn't get the product from them he would go elsewhere. Rebranding is a HUGE issue and some Vendors are directly to blame. At one point I was going to open shop and be a vendor- talked with suppliers in China and the way they do business is completely foreign to us.

I know someone who married into a wealthy family and moved there. I think she's nuts. It's very unequal society. If anything, restrictions and controls have made them even more creative about getting around anything put their way. I think they admire (expect) pushback. She calls China a business dream come true. Nuts.

I know other business' seperate into companies/divisions to obscure ownership and that maybe a way to break manufacturers fear of competition. However I think there's a bigger trend for U.S. made goods, focusing on greener aspects of durability vs. mass production. I didn't order from China or Hong Kong for that reason, even with a tight beginners budget. There's gotta be a way, even if they are serious.

Almost everyone mentions work-vape, drive-vape, home-vape; what do they put it in or carry it in? What do people store juices in? How are they organized? I think every cellphone case is considered a form of expression, even the most minimal. Surely vapping devices are as intimate, yet there's few add-ons. The rings I got for lanyards don't fit on my ego's. The strap looked like industrial elastic anyway. One style of zip case that store offers and has some brand on it, isn't interesting.

Idk. I wonder if China is as dominate as they once were.

I quit with a standard eGo 650mAh kit.

same here. well first I had 510s, that lasted like 2 weeks
then I got the ego kit. that was great for a month, then I got on forums. decided I wanted to play around a bit-
upgraded with a vivi nova and ego twist
and I should be good for now
it's great having the other batteries when my main one is charging


but mod envy... >.>

I don't think you can ever have too many batteries.
