When I moved up from standard cig-a-likes to bigger battery stuff it was a toss up for me between the go go and smokeless image's spinner. I tried the spinners first with ce4's and t3's and had leak issues with both.
I was hesitant to go with the gogo for all the reasons you mentioned earlier but it all makes sense now that I've gone gogo. You don't see a whole lot of posting about gogo on the forums because we're all contently
vaping them and don't need to post much about problems or troubleshooting. They just work. Load up a 3ml carto, slap it on a long lasting gogo battery and vape it all day. Top it off when you go home and your ready for tomorrow. You may eventually get bit by the vaping bug again and want to try mods(I did), but you'll find yourself going back to the gogo.
Also with the gogo being pretty inexpensive to keep vaping once you purchase it and some go-carts/fury tanks, you can enjoy your it while you do your research to find out which mod set up suits you best. Having found my ideal vape in the gogo, I didn't feel an urgency to buy several expensive mods trying to find something better. I figured out what I wanted in a mod, and then stalked the classifieds waiting for what I wanted(Orion v2.1) to finally pop up. I use my gogo more than my Orion by far, and when I am vaping the Orion I still have a gogo with me for a back up.
