hey guys, a few questions

[elmattias]

i've posted once before, and got a lot of very fast, positive results from the community here, so i'd like to start off by thanking everyone for being so helpful and embracing of the new members, all that being said, i'm still kind of a newbie, but i have successfully quit the analogs completely for two weeks now, my breathing has improved, my sense of smell is coming back, and i must say i don't miss the analogs AT ALL...with all of this being said, i'm looking to upgrade my PV to a KGO...

my primary question: when i go to order, what is with the ohms? i have a basic understanding of electricity and i do know that ohms = resistance...would that make pulling/puffing/dragging (don't know the proper term here, sorry!) on the vaporizer easier having less ohms? if so...does that effect the quality of the vapor?

also my secondary question, i see that the KGO comes with vision cartos that are clear and allow you to see how much juice is left inside, i've seen other types of PVs with larger tanks, would it be easy to upgrade the tank on a KGO to something like this in the future if i so desired, or would i have to start from scratch again?

thanks again in advance for anyone that can answer my questions....and happy vaping

Welcome to ECF , I personally have not had or used a Kgo , but I think they are similar to an Ego . That being said They have a built in battery that you charge with a USB style charger , either on your computer , or with an AC plug for the wall . The Ohms you refer to , usually refer to the resistance of the atty's or carto's being used . The lower resistance tpye atty's and carto's tend to work better on those types of PV's . You might want to look at some cheap "big battery type mods , that will still the assorted atty's and carto's , but will also utilize the bigger tanks better . There are lots of options out there . One in particular "Bolt" I thing a kit with batteries , atty's , etc . is right around 40.00 . The Kgo kit your speaking of , is probably that much . The biggest advantange of the big battery type PV's , is that battery replacement is much cheaper than the Ego's/Kgo's , and you can usually use several different battery combinations for varied voltages 3.7 , 4.8 and even 6 volts . With the Bolt , you would also need the extender , to utilize the larger batteries . But it's only about 8.00v. Good luck . Oh , and as for tanks , you might check out the Vivi-Nova tanks , work well , are re-buildable , and less than 15.00 .

oHm more or less tell you what you can vape at I use Variable Voltage so I can control how much power Im putting to my carts or attys. I generally use 4.5 oHm carts at 5.7 Volts You can use a tank on that battery Mom and Pops submarine tank is a good quality cheep one to start off with. You can get one with a cart prepunched for around 12$ Check out youtube for punching carts tank info ect..... Lots of good info in there.

hi and congrats,

I can't answer all the ohms parts, but as to the tank part. As the kgo is a 510 you should be able to use any carto tank or stardust or vivi nova on it, the draw backs will be shouldn't use dc's and as some of the tanks are rather large it will make the kgo top heavy.

thanks a lot ren for another quick response, do you have any links by chance on the products you speak of? the cheaper battery replacement sounds like a wonderful option, as the KGO was using an 1100 mAh battery that ran about 50 bucks for two in a kit.

it was the carto's ranging from about 2-3 ohms resistance...i just wasn't sure if they made pulling on them easier, as of this time, i am using an auto battery and it just seems that i have to drag quite a bit to get vapor out, almost like it needs to warm up on the first puff.

as far as the bigger models, i have puffed on one at the local cigarette shop that has a demo model (you pay a dollar for a fresh mouthpiece) but that's about as far as it goes, i liked how the manual batteries can "pre-heat", thus ending my dilemma with the automatic batteries....however, i havnen't the slightest idea of how to go about purchasing the completely customized models, which is why i was leaning more towards the KGO...however as stated with the batteries being easier/cheaper to change, this changes everything....

Hey , no problem , but just google the Bolt , or E-power , or Silver Bullet , should come up with all kinds of vendors . Or you might look at the forum approved vendors lists , there lots of them , and they all are held to a higher standard of customer service .
Also really didn't say how much money you were willing to invest . For a bit more money , all the options get a lot better

The number you want to look for it watts.
(Voltage*Voltage)/Ohm=Watts most people find their best experiences around 8 - 10 Watts.
Draw, Drag, Puff...ect comes from the air flow of the carto, atty, or CE2
I would recommend getting an eGo Twist. It allows for Variable Voltage has 510 ( most popular) and eGo style threading and is pretty cheap (~$25).
For a good starter set get 2 batteries 1 charger and your favorite carto, CE2 or Atty.

Welcome,I am also new to the forum and agree that everyone here is so helpful.I have the Kgo and I love it! I just pop on a clearomizer,fill it up and vape away.If you do end up going that way,I'm sure you will be happy.Good Luck

 

[elmattias]

to answer the question ren i was looking at around 50 bucks for a battery that will last me all day, as well as a charger, the tanks/cartos/attys i know eventually all need replacement...

also thank you acolyte, that's also very helpful, with the eGo twist allow the easy battery changing as stated in ren's previous post? or would i need to order a new one upon a burned up/worn out battery? and also i had done research on the threading, the KGO was 510 which is why i was initially attracted to it, that and battery size for the price (i was looking at around 50 for two 1100 mAh batteries)

also the budget i'm working with is fairly variable, i would like something compatible with a large clear tank that i can clearly see how much juice is left, not necessarily a clearo or carto either, i would think the independent atty's would be more of a chore though, which is why i was leaning towards them...anyways i'm going to check on acolyte's links while i wait on more info, thanks guys.

The Kgo is a very good PV to start out with and they work very good. The Kgo battery by itself is very inexpensive and should last you at least 6 months or longer. By then you will probably want a VV Mod of some sort.

 

[NancyR]

for the cost of two twists, and a charger you can buy a vtube from Apollo using the code vtube30, it has a 30 day money back and a 1 year warranty, and is actually shorter than the 1000mah twists. It's batteries are replaceable, instead of like the kgo where the battery is the pv

 

[elmattias]

another quick question while i'm looking at stuff, i've noticed that the attys for the eGo-c twist come in type A or type B, what's the difference?

 

[elmattias]

thank you nancy, is the vtube VV? also do you know what all is included in the kit? it appears to be just the battery and a single carto

edit: nvm the page didn't load properly, got the tech specs now.

 

[elmattias]

ok ok ok ok ok ok i think i figured a few things out in my latest round of research, and i've narrowed my search down a bit:

first and foremost: aesthetics, i want a PV and a tank that looks like it was made for each other, think straight lines from end to tank...and also would prefer the colors of either blue or chrome, more heavily leaning towards the blue, as i'm thinking the chrome might begin to chip.

secondly: i'm not sure what to think of the VV mods, at this point, i just want something that i can use everyday and not look like i'm pulling out a weapon every time i wish to vape...therefore, i'm tossing the VV mods suggestions out of the window to go the ways of the eGo or the KGO, depending on which one i can find in a fairly aesthetically pleasing rig.

all of this being said, i need a few suggestions as to one website where i can build this specific rig....i need two batteries, preferably 1000+ mAh, but i'm thinking 650 should be fine, with two tanks, and a charger...VV is optional, as i know that some of the eGo models are, and i'd like to keep the cost between 40-60 dollars preferably, with or without coupon codes....any suggestions at this point would be probably the final ones, as i'll most likely be making my purchase over the weekend, as early as tomorrow...thanks again guys, you've all been a huge help, and i know i'm probably just being a huge annoyance lol

edit: almost forgot one thing as i learned there are different types of tanks, i want a large clear tank so i can see how much i'm consuming over time...thanks again guys
