OK so I got my Go-go 63 days ago yesterday and I still love it. I have been using 2 Gocarts everyday switching between 1 filled with Nutty Caramel PG50/VG50 from Top Vapor and the other filled with either RY4 or RY5 PG50/VG50 extra flavor from FSUSA. I top them each off every night, each one takes about 2ml, before bed and use them till they either stop producing vapor or there’s no more flavor. At that point I have been tossing them in a container. Well I decided it was time to clean/ rebuild the Gocarts that I have been collecting and I found I had 15. So if we use a little math 63 days X 4ml per day (that’s 2ml each) / 15 Gocarts that comes to about 16.8ml per Gocart with no cleaning and using heavy sweet juice. Not to bad as it stands but I’m not done.

I spent about 2 hours completely rebuilding the 15 Gocarts yesterday using mohawkx’s method, well almost. I go a little over the top. :) I pull both fillers out; rinse them with hot water till they have no smell. Then I lay them all on an old (clean) pillow case, fold half over then Iron to dry completely.

The Gocarts themselves I use a blunt syringe with boiling water to flush them out and stand them up (bat end down, in my ultra sonic cleaner. Then I heat 100 proof vodka up in the microwave to not quite boiling and pour it in the cleaner and run it 3 times. The rest is exactly like mohawkx’s. They look like new and I filled 2 right away and they vaped and tasted like new. :)

Not sure how many times I will be able to do this but anything more than the initial use is pure gravy as far as I’m concerned. Just thought I’d share…

Oh one other thing I had a couple that the inner (thin) filler couldn’t be used so I just cut the sides and top off of a regular tea bag and used that for the inner filler and it works great. I filled 1 of those to test it.

I've had my Go-Go since Feb or March and one of my batteries refuses to charge. Sometimes if I unscrew-screw it a hundred times it'll eventually go. It's getting progressively worse. Has this happened to anyone else, and is there a way to fix it? Kind of sucks considering I can't afford a new kit, and you can't buy batteries separately, except from that new site that's sold out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I love my go-go, but now I'm worried. I don't have another vape because I stopped buying stuff for my ego-T. And if I have to buy another kit I may as well try a different vape that has accessories available :(

Did you file the excess plastic down on the charger connection as per the Gogo user's guide? If you did, then you may have to raise the centerpin on the battery just slightly with a pair of tweezers. Just raise it the slightest bit or you may pull it out and render the battery useless.

Yeah I carved the plastic down to the metal with a sharp knife the day I got it. It was charging fine until about a week ago. So pull the post out on the battery a bit? I don't know about tweezers but I have needle nose pliers somewhere. Any tips on how to do this gently without messing up the battery? haha

Thanks for your help!

It sounds like open heart surgery but after you do it once and feel how easy the post actually moves, it is a breeze. Just pull it out the smallest bit. When you screw the battery in to the charger, I always plug in the charger to the wall outlet first and then just screw the battery on until I get the three blinks of the blue light and shortly thereafter the green light turns red. The battery is never tight in the socket and bottomed out in the charger. It is also best to shave as much of the excess plastic off the charger connection as possible, (I even filed it slightly lower than the metal ring and even took a little of the metal ring off with the file) The problem with the battery charger is that the socket where the battery screws in is about a half a mm too deep and the center post on the battery is mounted in a flexable/moveable slot. Over time the battery post gets pushed in from people screwing in their batteries really tight to the charger before plugging the charger in and over time the post is pushed down. Another problem is screwing the cartomizers on too tight and this also pushes the center post down.

lol - I also find this little bit on their main page pretty funny:

"Go-GoUSA

We created this website because we couldn't find a simple charger for our beloved Go-Go. Now we stock the chargers, cartomizers and complete kits for less than any other online seller."

He is in the process of registering on here as a supplier but I don't believe his stock is in yet.
