Go-Go Specific: Thread for All things Go Go

[Devonmoonshire]

Before it comes up over here just let me clarify some things. I have been on some other forums lately and seen I rant in particular about me by someone who does not even know me. My mission objective is a simply one. I don't claim to have anything exclusive!! I don't claim to be starting a business and sell something that no one has.I know the list of chinese manufacture's is seemingly never ending. and the amount of copy products is endless. I have been buying samples for the past Six months in an effort to get the most reliable product I can with the least amount of problems.I will never claim to have the best! that wouldn't be a truthful perspective, and one I don't endorse or justify. I have been on this forum for over a year now and started with e cigs a few months before that.I simply want to help people to have a trouble free product that will help them in there personal quest to quit smoking. That is my simple mission statement!!! despite what one individual has stated elsewhere I do know quite a bit about ecigs. And honestly right now the newest and best working cartomizer designs are horizontal bottom coil designs , weather that is a GO GO , VGO,KGO,ECHO, or whatever else is using this design. The reliability of these newly designed cartomizers is leaps and bounds ahead of the older units. I tend not to sling mud in anyones direction, so I really don't understand why this individual is badmouthing me.He is on these forums also so If anything comes up .I am throwing this out ahead of time.

Well Considering I started this thread Specifically for the GO GO I do expect that some considerations be given to the fact that it is indeed for the discussion of that particular Model of E-cig. As far as accuracy of information goes, well that remains to be seen what the knowledge level is. I do know the name of the manufacturer of the device I use that has the Name Go Go and I have heard other names mentioned. I do also know that most of the folks on here who claim the title of Go Go Nation also Know a heck of a lot about this device and a select few have even gone as far as to deconstruct the device and some of it's cartomizers to find out what makes it so danged good. So when it comes to this device I respect and will stand 100% behind whatever they say as far as technical issues, maintenance and usage of the device. I say this because every tip and trick I have used at their advice has worked flawlessly.

As far as a business goes, I am open to anyone offering a quality product at a reasonable price and there certainly needs to be more out there who do just that.

As far as assisting people in quitting smoking goes, everyone on here should be 100% behind anyone who wants to help someone quit whether they do it with a high dollar e-cig or a bamboo shoot with a battery and an atomizer. Whatever works is what a person should use to avoid cigarettes.

Lets all try and stay on topic here though and keep up the knowledge base on the Go Go in this or similar threads and all other models in their perspective threads. Above all though before you post a statement regarding an e-cig, Make Absolutely sure whatever you post is 100% Accurate. Doing this will help any newbies to the market make an educated and informed decision on what could possibly be one of the biggest decisions they ever make.

Thank you for your time;

That's really great to hear, Alphavap. Now we can add one more bit of information to the ever growing store of knowledge concerning all things gogo. Glad you found a solution.

A good piece of info to add to the Go-Go Users Guide, no?

 

[mohawkx]

A good piece of info to add to the Go-Go Users Guide, no?

Yes. There is a vast storehouse of knowledge and fixes available since I wrote that and I'm working on an update that will incorporate what we've learned in the interim.

 

[Jennie O]

If you see that it looks dry and but you put 3-5 drops in and you already get some out the bottom push the filler down..I almost quit and threw everything in the drawer but Thanks to some great ecf people and posts I am back on track.

Thanks.....

Thanks for that info alpha! I was having that same problem and gave it a boil/flush/bake and pushed it down as well and filled it with pretty close to 3ml with very little leaking! And the flavor and vapor is right on!

SOOO loving my Go GO right now!

 

[alphavap]

I was wondering on the push down method..did I just get a couple of bad carts in the beginning? I saw some chat about gen 2 carts what does that mean? how do I get them?

the filler I have is pushed down close to 1/2 inch which seems a bit excessive and to be honest I am kind of worried about ordering more carts right now or wait it out until they improve them. Thoughts ?

sorry I will add 1 more question.

is there a reason after 5 months there are still only 2 sellers?

 

[texastumbleweed]

i dunno....never had a bad cart and i've got about 15 thus far. and i sure would like to hear the answers you get about why only 2 suppliers of the GOGO, the BEST PV on the market right now!

Good Morning GO-GO Nation!
Thanks for the welcome,Nate,Tx,and Cleo

Thanks,too, Alpha for that tip! I will try this next time I refill today.

Nate, I would like to know if I have the 2nd generation cartos. Mine are a metallic black; I don't see any paper wrapping that I notice. Did the 1st gen.'s cartos actually have paper wrapped around the carto itself? I'm curious as to which model of carto I'm using? Thanks

 

[Devonmoonshire]

Good Morning Go Go Nation!! Yes the first cartos, (the prefilled ones that came with my Go Go and the first set of empties I ordered), did have the paper black tape wrapped around them and they were the first gen carts. The second gen carts are the ones that have the nice black paint job. From just the less than 24 hours I have had them they seem to me standing side by side with the older ones to have a little more filler in them and the center tube is in fact slightly longer. This may be just an anomaly but the one I filled yesterday took way more juice than the first set I got would.

Hope this helps;
Nate aka Darth Vapor

The Gen 1 cartos have a black paper wrapping glued to the outside. The Gen 2 cartos are powder coated paint on the outside. It appears that the center tube is slightly longer with the gen 2. Some people who disect things down to the infinitismal, nano particle, claim that the gen 2 cartos give a better hit,(if that is possible) but I've used both and cannot detect any difference in vaping quality between the two and others concur. Some of the Gen 2 cartos came with condoms others did not. Personally, I wouldn't obsess over gen 1 or gen 2. The Gen 1 cartos come in standard resistance which is supposedly 3 ohms. They also come in low resistance models which is 2 ohms. Some have done resistance checks on the cartos and found the range of std and LR to be all over the range. LR coming in as High as 2.8 and Std coming in as low as 2.4. Generally it's hard to tell the difference. With the exception of the paper wrap on the gen 1, both cartos are very, very good. In any case the carto design is the main feature being they are horizontal coil rather than vertical coil like all other carto designs. horizontal coil is the next breakthrough in carto design and gen 1 and gen 2 have them. I've probably rotated between 10 cartos since I've gotten my gogo and never once did I get the freshly filled burned taste you got. Was rather stumped when you reported it. Luckily, others had the same scenario and provided a very easy fix. Pretty easy to lightly pack the filler to the bottom and fix the problem.

the gogo is a made to order product. It is not like other PVs where a vendor can get a line of credit with a Chinese supplier and order 500 or 1000 units and have the supplier pull the stock off the shelf and ship. Gogos are prepaid first and then the order is custom made after the fact. One must go to the manufacturer direct and have the order made after the purchase order has been completed. Not many vendors are willing to front thier money and wait for production.
due to Gogo popularity though I expect more vendors to enter the field as large cap, horizontal coil systems appear to be the next wave of PVs.

Frankly, I wouldn't obsess on the merits of Gen1 or Gen 2 cartos or whether vendors will carry the gogo or not. The gogo is here to stay and the technology is first rate, including the cartos, whatever generation they are.

Interesting new Go Go review
YouTube - CigEasy Go-Go Review: A Fantastic E-cig that Fails

 

[txtumbleweed]

You're right Mohawkx the bottom horiz coil is the only way to go. The Go-Go, iGo and Echo all have a similar design. I don't understand why the Leo didn't use the same design with their new 4ml carto.

Interesting new Go Go review
YouTube - CigEasy Go-Go Review: A Fantastic E-cig that Fails

Basically a poor review in my opinion. The hair and the manual got most of the attention. He didn't have a clue about the design of the carto or how long they would last which is the main thing regarding the Go-Go.

 

[uba egar320]

Quick question. I have an Igo, and was wondering if you gogo guys have any problems with your cartos after a week or so of use? Another forum member PM'd me about having the same issue. Have any of you removed the stuffing from a gogo carto and messed with it at all?

 

[Devonmoonshire]

Actually UBA Egar320 a lot of us have. Cleaning and dry burning the coils and repacking it takes a pretty significant amount of work for some folks and for others it is as easy as changing a shirt. But if you have used it for a week or so without at least a good rinsing with hot water then you very well could have some pretty nasty tastes coming out of it at that point. Personally I clean mine after each use. Once it starts to show signs of being out of juice I take it off and place another on that I have cleaned. I clean mine with an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner though and some vodka to help break down the juice left inside. Seems to me it gets rid of any leftover flavor from the juice so I can start fresh with whatever flavor I so chose.

Hope this helps you out;
Nate aka Darth Vapor

 

[uba egar320]

Thanks. Really like the idea of these large carto's, and I've been at this game long enough to know there would be some kind of a catch lol. I'll give my first carto a good cleaning tonight with some vodka, and see how it goes.

I know I'm stepping in it here- but you guys that are buying these things need to push your suppliers to remove the manual from the product mix.

Seriously. You should be rolling over in anger over those statements in the manual. They have legal implications that affect all vapers.

Also, since the unit is not my property, I am not at liberty to tear the init apart to find out the coil is at the bottom. Additionally, the coil in the bottom may make no difference to a filler burning issue.

The hair is a serious issue too. But it's probably (hopefully) not common.

I'm addressing this directly because I *like* the Go-Go. But given the recent FDA decisions, how many of you would read that manual, or get a hair in a carto, without addressing it? In many ways it seems to me, that minimizing the issues raised by the review, through simply criticizing the review for a minor technical inaccuracy, is dishonest.

It's not religion. It's just an e-cig.

But for completeness- you have my apology for not addressing the coil location accurately.

I have mixed feelings on the review tx...but would certainly agree that if it is portrayed as a product review, it is very much tainted by non-performance-related opinions.

The only real factual dispute I have with the review is his lack of knowledge on the carto design. If this were just a bigger KR808 then I'd agree. But that's not the case, given GoGo's horizontal coil. So the reviewer speaking as authority on subjects he obviously didn't understand, or at least was misinformed on, somewhat set me up to be irritated for the rest of the viewing.
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND - even if the carto was just a big 808...and it performed the way it does...who cares? Great performance is great performance.

The manual, I agree is treading dangerous waters and needs to be addressed, especially in these times of regulation and litigation. I personally don't care what the manual says, at least for my use, I've done my research. But it has been shown that making anything that even hints of medical claims is just asking for trouble. And I'd hate for less experienced buyers to be misled.
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND - the obvious discord that the manual caused to the reviewer was given way too much emphasis in a product review video...assuming that the video was intended as a product review at all.

The hair - I agree is unacceptable, and gross, and sucks...and stuff.
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND - this can't be the first time anything like this has happened with an ecig, or any other product for that matter. I dunno, maybe it is a first ever. But does anyone REALLY get a relatively cheap, mass produced product from China (or anywhere else) and just stick it in their mouth without a wipe down and inspection? I have seen the same kind of contamination when purchasing multi-hundred dollar tobacco pipes. I've seen condensation within a pack of cigarettes. Again, it seem there was inordinate condemnation of the product based on this event. Now I can see where this could send one down the road of questioning everything else about the product. I know if I get a hair in my plate at a restaurant, I'm done. Can't approach that plate again. But it doesn't always mean that I'll never go back to that restaurant.

I guess the video was mostly fine for me in it's actual content, except for the authoritative stance taken about the carto when obviously there was no authoritative knowledge.

I just think it would have played better if presented as a dissertation of business practices as opposed to a product review.

No attack on cozz here...just think it all could have come about differently.

I just thought it was poor review and yes it is not a religion. It is just an e-cig but I think that is how you conducted your review instead of doing a little research on what you are reviewing. Video reviews have an enormous amount of power among new users and can have a lot of effect on suppliers and their livelihood. Just like you will never buy a Go-Go, I doubt I will ever take your reviews seriously.
