So, my new cartos came with condoms - and this is something I really like. I don't know why so many people dislike the condom-filling method, as it's one of the things I really liked about my 510.

I just topped off a few of my cartos via the condom method, and all is really well. The flavor is great, and it's better than dripping form the top or using a syringe. Frankly, it's the best flavor I've gotten out of my Go-Go yet. So, why do so few people use this method, with the new Go-Gos?

Just fill up one of the condoms about 2/3, and slide the screw-end of the carto down there. With the Go-Go, I'm finding I may need to repeat a time or two. I then place the rubber tip back on, and blow out the overflow into a napkin (overflow seems to be a drop or two). Fast, flavorful, and I'm always sure I have a full carto.

Oh, and just to clarify... unlike a 510, one plunge won't fill you up. If it's an empty carto, that's gunna' take a few plunges. And it might not be the fastest way to get the job done. This is because the go-go condom is so small, relative to its massive carto. But topping off from the bottom seems to give me a lot of flavor.

Hey there nation....has anyone tried the Gogo to 808 adapter yet? I just received 2 of them...I put on an 808 carto, and I get nothing...I used a new pre filled carto, which works just fine on my 808 pass thru, but on the Gogo batt...zip, zilch...acts like maybe it's not making a good connection somewhere....any one else get them to work?

I got mine a couple days ago and it's been hit and miss. It works with some cartos, doesn't work well with others. Haven't figured out what the difference between working ones and non working ones yet. If I do, I'll post.

That's good who-dat it works good for you and that is what counts. Do you take the white cap off and fill the juice until it pools at the top? I have a whistle tip so I just pull it off and drip it in and I'm done in a couple of minutes. I guess it depends on the juice you use too. I use 80-20 PG so it soaks in pretty fast but I can see where a thick juice might be a problem dripping.

Yeah, I'm not sure the condo method is the best with the Go-Go, but it's the only way to fly with the 510... at least for me. When I have issues with drip-filing it, it is mostly with the heavier juices. Lighter 80% PG juices seem to soak OK, but darker/heavier juices seem to want slooooooow dripping. And I guess I'm not that patient. I tend to get a lot of waste that way, from filling too fast. And though the top seems flooded, the bottom hits light/dry for a while. At least that's my take on it. But again, that's with the heavier juices. and I haven't had too much luck with the syringes, as they also seem to cause rapid overflow.

But filling from the bottom, via condom, seems to give me that nice crackle/pop, when I hit it. I kind of wish that the comdom was 2-3 times longer, so it didn't take so many times for it to fill that massive carto. I do so love the taste from a fully-filled, yet not overflowing, carto. When I get back from the road, I may try the syringe-filling thing again, with the condom on the bottom. I guess I'm still finding what works best form me.

I got my adapters to work but ... they really have to be screwed on tight. On the KR8 to Go-go I had to tweeze up the center post on the carto.

Yeah, maybe I'll give that a try...thx bob...I'll probably just use up all of my 808 stuff by letting friends try them, or just use my 808 batts with them...not sure I needed the adaptor at all, but I was buying some empty cartos, so I figured I'd try em...

So I'm joining the Go-Go nation in a matter of mere hours, it is sitting in my mailbox as we speak!

Question - if they come with an 80% charge, is it better to run them down and then full charge, or just charge right away?

theres certain thing to use it... by i think by best charge one and wait till the other one finish charging and use it... its a mater how u prefer... or u can vape away the one batt while the other batt is charging... a lot of method ;)... what works best for me is when it first came out i drain the first batt while the other getting charge... i think both ways works best...

Welcome to the gogo nation. Bone up on the gogo user's guide while you wait to get your mail. When you get it press the button on the battery and see if it turns blue. Plug in the wall part of the charger to a wall socket. plug in the USB connection. Slowly screw the battery in to the charger until the button flashes 3 times. The light on the charger should turn red. The battery is now charging. Use the other battery right out of the box and start vaping. Keep using that battery until the button flashes 10 or 15 times. This tells you the battery is run down to empty and when you charge it the computer inside will reboot. Charge the drained battery to full charge. Use the other one you first charged until it flashes 10 or 15 times and recharge fully. You now have two batteries that are rebooted and you can charge them at your convenience rather than when they are run down. Good Luck. Any probs, just ask, someone knows the answer. :)

I ordered from a new supplier and the juice came in a dropper bottle. I really like filling the go-carts with them - 3 full viles seem to fill the carto perfectly and I don't have to count or waste juice. :)

Also, another bit of trivia; I bought a dollar jump rope at wallyworld. Wait, there's more. The top of the handle unscrews, my husband drilled a hole in the bottom and it works perfectly for dropping a go-cart in and doing the Taryn Spin for cleaning. Just thought I'd share. :)

DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS!
this weekend i am stocking up on GO GO accessories.....
like i have said before, all i have is the 5 prefilled menthol gogo cartos...which i dont like the flavor of but TV AC of course overpowers them so i am happily vaping them and all i taste is AC....
my question is, since i had such bad luck with filling eGo cartomizers (for some reason i could never get them saturated inside), i was thinking of maybe ordering prefilled plain tobacco flavor gogo cartos and use those by topping off with AC or whatever flavor i like...this way, not only do i get full flavor for sure, i use less of my own precious juices (i am a very very heavy vaper and can go through bottles like crazy)......
i have had to use WAY WAY less juice doing it this way since i got my GOGO this past Saturday.
any thoughts?
