Hey bobalex!
Thanks for the link! Its good to know they are still going strong. I may update my Leos.
Do you think the Go-go will survive? I'm not sure. Maybe Frank would chime in on that topic?!?!?
Hey greyrat,
The Great Go-Go Panic of 2013 started when a vendor that used to carry the Go-Go stopped carrying it. wrp asked the vendor why and the vendor replied:
The Go-go... Kanger doesn't have Go-go on the line anymore, so it requires a much larger minimum than I can afford to get and the wait time would be considerable. Kanger is now doing so many evods, protanks, new protanks, MT3, T3 etc that they do not actively do the Go-go anymore. I have been waiting for them to tell me I can order a smaller amount but their current minimum is out of my reach
I guess this was misinterpreted by some as the Go-Go being discontinued. And this triggered panic buying which stripped Go-Go inventory from Go-Go vendors.
When I first read that the Go-Go was being discontinued I panicked and emailed Frank@CigEasy. Frank replied and told me the Go-Go isn’t an “off the shelf” item. It’s a “made to order” item and he consistently orders them every month or so. And he said he would continue to order the Go-Go. Not only that … but he will be bringing out new Go-Go gear as soon as he’s done with the designing, prototype-testing routine. He stated the Go-Go wasn’t going extinct as far as CigEasy is concerned.
I assume the vendor that dropped the Go-Go didn’t want to pay for the larger minimum order. That’s his business decision. Frank hasn’t dropped the Go-Go and has no intention of doing so.
As far as keeping up with demand … Frank said that customers who normally would pick up a pack of Go-Carts were suddenly ordering 5 packs at a time and I guess the run on the Go-Go bank hasn’t let up. Let’s hope things return to normal once the members of Go-Go Nation relax about the "imminent demise" of the Go-Go. If all the other vendors stopped carrying the Go-Go it wouldn’t bug me at all because Frank says he’ll always carry it. I have always purchased my Go-Go stuff from Frank and I’ll continue to do so and hope Frank always looks both ways when crossing the street. Can’t have my go-to Go-Go vendor getting hit by a truck.
