Due to this thread, I'm considering buying a Go-Go now (if I can find them in-stock). I do have one question though; how large are they? Say compared to a penstyle? I'm guessing they are wider but have no clue as to length. Didn't see that info on either supplier page. Thanks!

Fully assembled and ready to go (go), the length is 5 5/16", and the diameter at the widest point is 5/8".

I have 2 sets one from Nhaler and one from Cigeasy. I love this PV. They are noisy though when you draw on them but cleaning cartos is quite easy.

LUCKY!!!!!!!! I am just going to get one from whoever gets them in first :D I would like to have a gold one too though :D But either will do for me, these will probably render my eGo-T totally obsolete, unless that new tank atty from GotVapes works better than the Go Go, which I highly doubt.

Hello snails1023, as far as I know the Go Carts only come in one type. But the resistance on them as far as my experience has been is a very easy draw, I do not know for sure what the exact Ohms are on them.

Nhaler has LR also. I have some but haven't tried them yet because the regular ones work so good.

I think the ones that came in the CigEasy kit are LR, at least they vape like an LR does to me. I didnt check the ohms on them but the vape tastes like an LR to me.

I agree 100% such an easy Vape, I know this much though, I LOVE the 801 Whistletips on the Go Carts. I am in Vape Heaven right now :D

Cigeasys are supposed to be reg 3 ohm and the LRs from Nhaler are 2 ohm but you are right the reg vape like a lr that is why I haven't even tested my lrs yet.

So with a little under a week under my belt - I have some (probably) new-user type questions

1. Filling: I started with the drip method but can't say I ever really seen the 'saturated' look at the top of the poly-fill that I expected before getting a drip out of the bottom. Even letting it sit and settle - if I added another drop or two - it would drip right out the bottom anyway. I've now started 'condom filling' a fresh cartomizer (blank) and then dripping from the top to re-fill which seems to be working better. Is there a reason NOT to condom fill? For what it's worth - I'm not particularly interested in getting / dealing with a syringe
2. Flavors - I've sampled some (not a ton - but some) and there are times I'm not sure I can really tell the difference
*Johnson Creek (JC) Spiced Apple Cider - not a bad flavor by any means (and good throat hit even at the 12mg strength). Can't really say it tastes like apple cider tho - spiced or otherwise.
* (Related) Velvet Vapors (VV) Snicker doodle - Okay this is good to be sure. I'm not sure it tastes much like a Snicker doodle - but kinda at least. What confuses me is that I accidentally mixed up my cartos (before getting some Avery labeling stickers) and couldn't tell which one was which between this and the Spiced Apple Cider. Granted, they both do have a cinnamon aspect - but you'd think they'd be a little more distinctive.
*JC's French Vanilla - Also good - but subtle in the vanilla flavor. It's more noticeable in the aroma it leaves behind.
*JC's VG Marcado - I really do like this one, but damn if it doesn't gunk up the cartos on the Go-Go. At this point I'll probably just skip 100% VG juices if they're going to give me a headache.
VV's Watermelon Menthol - just filled this one now - it's good. Can't say it tastes like Watermelon
VV's Orange Spice Tobacco - Okay, this one is really good - will order a bigger bottle
VV's Indonesian Clove - Was hoping it would taste like that classic clove cigarette I remember enjoying from time to time - it doesn't. Would love a recommendation other than buying another pack of clove cigarettes
That wraps up the flavors I've tried and while there *are* differences - they're subtle. IS this because I haven't allowed them to 'steep' to speak of (haven't really done a lot of looking on this topic but have seen it come up a bit) - or is it a matter of developing my vaping palette? Should I 'cleanse' my palette (as one would do with food) between flavors? Also - each flavor has gone into it's own fresh carto at this point. I'm guessing that I'll 'settle' on a 3 or so Go-to flavors with maybe something sweeter / smoother (Vanilla or Snicker doodle or ??) as that "sweet treat" or "after dinner" vape. Looking at my list I get that many of them are somewhat similar in profile - any recommendations on some 'starter' flavors to try and get more of the differences between them?
Cleaning - Okay, a number of people are talking about removing the fill - washing - and replacing with a Q-tip. Clearly I'm not that handy as I'm not having any luck getting the one carto filler I accidentally pulled out back in. Not inclined to take more out on purpose. Therefore - How effectively will washing under the sink (hot) water 'clear' the last flavor? Should I just soak them in hot water (I'm thinking microwaving some water to heat just under boiling and *then* letting them soak for a few minutes) - or would vodka be a better bet (heard about this for cleaning and sounds reasonable for getting back to a 'neutral' flavor) Will I shorten the life of my cartos this way?
Clearly I'm still learning - but having fun doing so. And since I haven't lit a single analog since getting the Go-Go started last Friday evening (even stranger, I don’t crave / want one), I'm not in much of a mood to complain. Thanks in advance as the advice I've found on this forum has already been immensely helpful.
Cheers and Happy Vaping!

Wow, Davedbc you have tasted more flavors already than I think I have in 16 months. I'll leave the flavor advice to the flavor experts. I vape mainly Menthol and try a few different tobacco flavors now and then although I did get a chocolate mint bonus bottle from cigeasy that I like alot. Sounds like you are having fun with your vaping experience and congratulations on kicking the cigarette habit!

Wow, Great Juice Bar you got there DavedBC, I noticed the same for me when I first started vaping, that there was really no super detectable difference in flavors. However now that I have been analog Free for almost a month I am noticing the subtleties coming out in the flavors. So it may just be that your taste buds are still in the process of coming back to life. Try to exhale the vapor through your nose and see if this helps to give you more of a detectable difference in the flavors until your taste buds come back to life.

Cleaning, Ohhhhh Cleaning.... LOL Yes there are a lot of folks who have what it takes to remove those fillers and re insert them with ease. I however cannot do this. So you are right on Par with how I clean my carts. I microwave filtered water,(Southern California here, Lots of chemicals in the water that I do not want to transfer to my lungs), and then since I have what is called a "Netty Pot", (plastic pot for saline washing the nasal cavities), I fill that little "Tea Pot" looking thing up with the hot water and slowly pour it through the cart until the water in the plastic bowl it is in is about half way up the cart. Then I dump the water out rinse te bowl and repeat until I can detect little to no scent from the juice by smell. This method has worked amazingly for me to completely clean my Go Carts as well as my eGo-T atty's.


I always say that if you put in the work to write a novel like this you should get an answer that is just as detailed and I hope my answer helps you with your questions.

Happy Vaping :thumbs:

Heh - thanks guys.

As far as the juice bar is concerned - let's just say that when I started researching vaping - I was (and still am) a bit amazed and overwhelmed by the options for juice that's out there. So, read some reviews of suppliers and juices and looked around at what 'made sense' to my mind to vape

On the one hand, I'm inclined to stick somewhat with tobacco flavors. However, since it's vaping - not smoking - I then started to think why limit oneself :) Sticking with the 'what makes sense to me' mind set I've ordered a handful of 10ml sample bottles. I figure that will give me a good trial run at what I like - what I don't - etc and help find those Go to Go Go flavors. As I find those and re-order, I'll probably pick up another sample bottle of something else just to give it a whirl.

And it's worth repeating - the Orange Spice Tobacco from Velvet Vapors IS wicked good which I can easily see going in my regular rotation even at this early stage.

It does look exactly like one, however I cannot bring myself to order one from that site as it is not a Trusted United States site. Even though I will probably have to wait longer to get another one I think I am going to do so just to be on the safe side vice ordering from overseas.

Just my thoughts on it:
