Stick with it adoomy, it all makes sense pretty quick. If it is cartos you have then I found it easier just to slowly drip into the mouthpiece end, turning it as you do to stop juice going down centre hole. Need 20-30 drops in first then just top up as needed. I usually give a quick blow through before putting on batt.
KGO kit arrived but have questions

I was equally baffled the first time I looked at a cartomizer (very recently btw). Watching youtube vids on the condom method of filling them helped me a lot.
from what i hear the Kgo batts ( i just ordered a kit from Hoosierecig) are true 3.7 v ... that's more powerful than an average eGo battery.
The link you showed includes a drop down for choice of cartomizers and Ohms...
3.7 true voltage will probably not be best with LR (low resistance or Ohms.... around 2 Ohms for cartos) , unless they are the dual coil cartoms.. DCC.
Anything around 2.5 Ohm and up to 3.0 should be great.
Your issue seems to be too much juice... it's almost better to start with less juice and then you can add a little more until the vapor seems right. Remember if you continue to fire it with too little juice it will burn the filler and ruin the taste of the carto... good thing cartos are very cheap... don't worry if you ruin a few along the way.

I can confirm that dark city vaper sends cartomizers with his kgo kit and not cartridges. They are cheaply made but work fine if you do not fill them up too much. You almost have to under fill them unlike the boge's. Otherwise you will get a mouthful of juice when you inhale. 10 drops is about the most I can put in it to keep it from happening. I tried the condom method 1 time and it was okay but a little messy. Instead i use a little hook tool to pull the white plug out. Hold the cartomizer at an angle and drip the juice down the side of the wall into the filler. When you are done filling put the white plug back on or a drip tip on. I bought extra drip tips in different colors so now I do not need a hook tool to refill and the colors help me distinguish between different flavors.

I also got mine from dark city vapor, Bill is the best, he was very helpful, I think ours called SLB and thatis the name of the manufacture, you put the juice (about 8 drops) in the cart and then you attach the cart to the battery, press the button five times and vape.
Adoomy... Lets make sure your battery is turned on. Does the button light up when you press it? If not, press the button 5 times. It should flash a few times when you turn it on.
I've never done the condom method but I imagine you would flood the air chamber doing so. Blow through the mouth end clearing any juice from your breathing chamber.
You should be ready to vape. Please keep us posted. Or you can hop in your car and drive 300 miles North and I can show you.

hey all,
So i know for sure the battery is on (push button 5 times) and its been charged for couple hours though not the 8 hours recommended. Either way I watched some vids on youtube on how to fill the cartomizer and I still cant get it to vape. I dont know if its too much or too little juice, but i make sure to be able to blow through the air hole so that its not clogged. I dont know i guess ill keep charging the battery and try again later.

After you push the button rapidly 5 times the button should blink rapidly about 4 or 5 times. But even after it is on you still have to manually hold the button down while you inhale. Are you doing that? The button should light up blue while you are holding the button down.
If still you have a problem maybe try a different cartomizer and/or the other battery. If you over fill it you usually get a gurgling sounds if it is flooded. The sound you want to hear would be a crackle like rice krispies.

we have LIFT OFF ... jk, but just keep your cool and be persistent; you'll be a vape-wiz before you know it.
again, learn about the Ohms of your cartomizers... check what yours are so you can gauge what works... less or more. The lower the resistance (Ohms) the warmer and more full vapor you will get, but too low and it gets too hot. Too high and no vapor no flavor; this is the spectrum. You find what works best for you (and most).
If you're making the switch from analog cigarettes, make sure you keep both Kgo's charged and in rotation.... go grasshopper.

The ones that come with adoomy's kit are standard resistance single coil. I got the same kit from the same vendor. Probably about 3 ohms it seems like to me just from using them myself.

This has actually been a very informative thread!! I don't have my kgo yet. I just ordered it yesterday. Hopefully, I will know how to work this thing when it arrives!
