Hi, I keep reading everyone talking about the KGO and the eGo set up's and really not sure what the difference is or which one is the better one to go with. Can someone please tell me what the big difference is between them or is it just who manufactures them. Thanks

I believe the kgo is slightly higher voltage than the ego. Same with the Riva. I think both are between 3.7 & 4.2 where as the ego is closer to 3.2-3.4

Kgo is based off the ego style. The Kgo has normally a 1100 mah battery and a little higher voltage. Normal ego batteries are only 650 mah. The kgo battery being larger only in length (not in diameter). The higher voltage in the Kgo will allow more wattage and really helps when you want to use low resistant cartomizers as the normal ego can barely handle them well. The kgo allows the use of cartos/tanks/attys that are designed to fit only the ego without any special adapter.
The Kgo is a really good for beginners. Very easy to use but it has enough under the hood for even more experience users. My wife has one and several of my friends have one and they love it. I still have one but I only use it occasionally in flavor of my Provari. The Provari in some situations can be too clunky and too expensive to have with me. The Kgo I can take anywhere.

If I remember correctly tge Leo does not have 510 threading so if you want something with 510 don't get the Leo.
Good explanation. If you want warmer, more like the real thing, vapor and longer battery life, but in the same approximate size and cost, the Kgo is the way to go between those two. If you want all of that plus much more cost effective batteries, then the E-Power 510 is the best option.
I've been an EGO user for 10 months now and just bought a KGO thinking it would be a step up, but to be honest I noticed no difference whatsoever. Sold the KGO to my sister and will stick with my EGO 1100 mah bats for now. Still looking for the perfect upgrade that allows use of my fave EMDCC cartos. Any suggestions???
My vote goes to the Kgo also as this is what I use. One feature I like with the Kgo is the 5 click on/off, that is if you don't want it to fire you click the button 5 times within 2 seconds and you don't accidentally drain the battery.
I believe the Riva has 3 click, I don't know about the Ego.

You could be correct,that's why I stated I didn't know.Just pointing out something someone might not know about,but is useful if you have it in your pocket or for a woman that carries them in their purse.
Good advice here from all responses. I have both kgo and ego batteries, all have 5-click on/off. Kgo and ego batteries are essentially the same thing. I believe Kgos come in one length (more length = longer life between charges) - 1100mah. Egos are available in several lengths - 650mah, 900mah, 1000 or 1100mah. The kgos do put out a little higher voltage.
I stand corrected, I see some vendors now have the kgos also in 650mah (shorter length). But the 1100s are the way to go.
Darkcityvapor.com has a great deal on kgo 1100 kits for $44.

The joye ego is lower voltage but a consistent vape and battery output over time. Riva/KGO hotter vape but shorter charge life and consistent reduction in voltage over time.
PI have the Ego C tank system. Can I use any of these other batteries or should I stick with the Ego batteries that came with the starter kit?
I like the Kgo for the reasons most have said. The only negative is that if I'm not careful when I clean it, the little plastic button can pop-out. But its easy to put back, just have to have good eyes.
Just got a kgo from Hoosier ecig supply. Very happy with it and the cartomizers i bought from them. I get a lot better vape than i did with the joye 510. I highly recommend the kgo and hoosier ecig supply. Got it in 2 days from when i ordered. Been vaping about a month now.
The Ego uses the 510 standard thread so almost any 510 threaded atty, cart etc will fit the ego. Going the other way the Ego c system has the same 510 thread connection but it has a skirt round it which means it wont fit on other 510 threaded batteries without an adaptor, (although the kgo and the riva use the same skirted connection i believe so they should be interchangeable)

From the looks of the eGo-C Twist XL battery (and any of the other ones they make) looks like its the exact same connector as my eGo-T.
I think they can all use the same stuff.
