:banana: So I just got home from work and there was my KGO sitting in the mailbox!!! I'm so excited, I have unpacked it all and of course I couldn't wait to try it out real quick. I love love love it... I only took a few pulls from it, and now I have the battery charging.. It sucks that I have to wait 8 hours, but oh well, I can wait. I did notice that the light has already turned green on the charger, but I'm going to let it continue to charge. I would like to thank http://www.hoosierecig.com for the rapid shipping. I just ordered this thing on Tuesday. Now, once my tank and cartos and ejuice will just hurry up and get here I will set...
:vapor:

There's no logical reason to have to charge it beyond when the charger LED turns green. The chargers for Li-Ion batteries do not (or at least should never) keep charging a battery after it's fully charged. Moreover, they do not have "memory".

In my experience, I "charged" one battery for 8 hours and the other one I used immediately after the light turned green - no difference in the long run.

I too recently upgraded from a V2 cigs 901t pen style to a kgo from hoosiers. I love it with my smoktec 1.7 lr cartomizers as well as the smoktech extra large capacity 1.7 lrs.

Been trying to move away from dekang pg juices now and find more mostly vg that i like.

Bobas bounty is pretty good and gorilla juice and i like hoosier gangstas paradice.

Still like my dekang triple menthol and turkish blend from time to time though.

The battery life is awesome on these kgo batteries and with two going with two flavors all day they are working out great :D

I just got my KGO today and was wondering why in the world they would have you charge it for so long. The light turned green on mine after about an hour. It's about all I can do to keep from trying the dang thing out though....

It is very odd that after all this time vendors are still providing that bogus information.
No Lithium-Ion battery (which almost all of these are) needs charging any longer than when the light turns green.

It is bogus information that should be ignored.
So get to vaping!!

Hello. I just ordered mine from Hoosier at about 3 am today. I can't wait to get it. Anyways I was wandering what cartos u ordered BC I don't want to use carts and am looking for alternatives? Thanks so much in advanced. Happy vaping!!!

The right resistance is going to vary by user...mine is generally 2.0 ohms (I like the Boges best). For some juices, I'm using a Volt X2 (3.7 v also) with 2.8 ohm cartomizers because the juice behaves better at the lower wattage. A lot of people like the 1.7 ohm cartos on the KGO...I don't particularly.

Order a range (I'd suggest trying 1.7, 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0 ohm cartos) and experiment. You probably won't like the same wattage on all juices. Watts gives you heat...on a single coil carto, wattage is a good predictor of heat that you get to vaporize the juice. Output watts on a KGO (the batteries aren't regulated, so this will vary SOME from newly charged to almost-ready to give up) are:

1.7 ohms = 8.1 watts
2.0 ohms = 6.8 watts
2.5 ohms = 5.5 watts
3.0 ohms = 4.6 watts

If you use the same style of cartos, watts are a good predictor of the vape's strength, TH, and flavor. If you compare cartos versus other things like clearomizers (top coil, bottom coil, etc.) all bets are off because there are too many other variables.

Dang...I started off trying to simplify. See how this gets?

Yes I see. lol. I guess I will just get a couple of different ones and try them out like u suggested. I keep forgetting (even though i see it a lot) is that its all personal taste. So I will see. Thanks very much.

Maybe start with LR 2.0 and SR 3.0 carto's. You will definitely notice a difference, and you will get a sense you prefer. You can fine-tune from there. :)

Here's a link to a great deal on 510 cartos. You can buy the two most common different resistances pretty cheaply and that will get you a head start on sussing out what you prefer: Boge cartomizers
