Vapoor Eyes... I don't want a volt. I already have a blu and the battery life sucks. I want something bigger, even as a lady.

I guess my screen name Saw Tooth leads ppl to think I'm a guy, LOL. SawTooth is the name of my Worgen Hunter's pet (dog) on World of Warcraft (WoW) which my grown daughter got me addicted to.

vaping and playing WoW at the same time... heaven.:p

LOLLL I play Stronghold Crusader Series. I have over 30 friends who vape and ALL the ladies LOVE their Kgo because of the true 3.7 volts, meaning they have many carto options and the long batt life. The size does not bother them either.
Cheers and Good Luck.
P.S. before you order post your order here to make sure you have everything...worse than an extra delivery charge is the wait :(

Hey Saw Tooth!

Another KGO user here...
Got mine last week and have tried 3 different carto types with it....
I am gonna go with the majority saying that for me the Smoke Tech single coil 1.7 is my favorite. (just loaded one up.)

I tried the ST dual 1.5 first. It is a cooler vape. You have to hit it harder.
The one thing that bugs me about those, is mine are constantly popping. (as in making a pop sound)
The Boge 2.0 seems to hit about as hard and the ST single coil, but I run out of juice pretty fast.

and Hoosier got mine to me in 3 days.... :)

Yeah Bill is laid back...maybe a little too laid back :facepalm: There's also the problem of Customs with even the larger companies sometimes having problems so he's prolly ordering small lots hoping it will go unnoticed. Another problem is the Kgo is very popular and at one point 3? months ago no one had any for sale.
Cheers.

I may switch from buying from Dark City Vapors to Hoosier because Hoosier has many more color choices.

Is Hoosier a good company to buy from????

Someone should tell DCV that they are losing business from the ladies, because ladies want pretty colors!:2cool:

The popping means your carto is good and full... I love the snap, crackle and pop (and not the cereal!) Not to worry, it's a good thing!

Kgo fan also
I'm using Boge LR 2.0 cartos
I think I'll try those smoke tech 1.7 single coils next order.
@sawtooth:
You're gonna love your kgo!!
2 weeks ago I forgot to smoke.

Forgot to smoke!!! I LOVE that!! Too funny, Bullette (woof!);)

Okay, Vapoor Eyes, but anyone wanting to check my list better be fast, 'cause once pay day money hits the bank I'm gonna order! LOL
How long have you been playing the Stronghold Crusader Series . I think I'm on my third year on World of Warcraft. All my characters are like my own children, each with their own unique personallity and fighting style. I'm just partial to my Hunters. Prolly 'cause of my BEAST MASTER "pet" aspect.

I'm sure thrilled to hear from so many happy :hubba:KGO users. Yeeeehaw!

I think this is a pretty sensible order. I'd make the following changes but take a look at the choices I made when buying the E-Power 14650 from Hoosier late last year.

Total initial cost: $147 (same cost as 3.5 weeks of cigarettes in CA)
-$47: Stainless steel E-Power 14650 starter kit.
-$48: two complete additional E-Power 14650s from parts. I have back-ups.
-$16: four additional Trustfire Blue protected 14650 batteries. I ordered these direct from China from FocalPrice. Delivery in 10 days, free shipping. Genuine Trustfire Blues.
-$23: five additional YL-103A chargers.
-$6: two cube taps to assemble clustered chargers for all six chargers/batteries (from Ace Hardware).
-$7: one box of Smoktech single coil 1.7 ohm XL cartos.

Batteries, batteries, batteries. You want batteries and the ability to charge them. I have enough batteries and the charger needed to charge all the batteries I need for the week at the same time on the weekend. Purchase more batteries and chargers.

Drip tips. You only need a one or two good trip tips plus some O-rings once every few months. More drip tips can be very useful if you want to use them for color coding juices and cartos. I like stainless steel drip tips. I can't taste stainless steel and it never wears out.

Empty bottles? I don't need these. I don't DIY my juice so I get plenty of empty bottles without buying more.

Syringe? Yep, try it at least once. I always drip fill even when dry filling cartos. You may like syringe filling: it works. The syringe is another thing laying around that I don't want to wash.

Low resistance cartomizers: start with a box each (5 count) of Smoktech single coil 1.7 ohm and Smoktech single coil 2.0 ohm XL cartomizers. See which one you like best with each juice you try. Both hold more juice than the Boges.

Atomizer: Get a bridgeless atty for tasting juice or use up a carto.

I've been playing Stronghold about 3 yrs but haven't been lately as very busy. WOW kudos Saw Tooth, your list looks absolutely complete and should keep you vaping for at least a year not counting juice. Thank you as it's obvious you've listened and put much effort into this order.
And now the wait :D
Good Luck.

Thanks Yzer & Vapoor Eyes. Great ppl here to give me so much input and get me going beyond my little "blu".

Okay, order sent!

Yzer, I have been doing some dripping (or topping off, or whatever it's called) with my little blu, using some Johnson Creek juice I ordered last week. Anyway, I thought I prolly wouldn't need the needle/syringe either, but since it was so cheap I added it for "just in casers", to give it a try.

You mentioned batteries batteries batteries. Are 3 not enough? I have the two red ones in the KGO kit, and one blue I added to my order. I plan to get the green and the pink later. (Too much at once adds up to a big bottom line, LOL). But I'm asking ... REALLY, do I not have enough batts with 3?

I would like your input on how many CHARGERS I need. I think the kit comes with the USB and the wall charger. I added one more UBS (have 2 computers I can charge on) and one car charger. How many more should I buy? What type?

Yep, I did get carried away with drip tips, but being a lady I like to change color schemes, ROTFL.

I bought 20 cartos (2 pack of each: Boge & ST). Thought I might decide which type I prefered by buying both.
Both are single coil, as was suggested by most that responded to this thread. I'll try the double coil on my next order.

Bought a few extra attys to experiment new flavors with.

And here is another question about atomizers: What does bridgeless and bridged mean???????
I don't know what type Atty I have.

THANX AGAIN EVERYONE, UR the best!:thumbs:

What does bridgeless and bridged mean
Unless you're going to be dripping constantly not really worth while IMHO.
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...n/288819-what-bridgeless-atomizer-better.html
and
"Bridgeless atomizers work on the theory that the bridge is an extra step that separates the juice from the heating coil. Juice must be absorbed through the mesh on the bridge and then delivered to the coils. Since the bridge sits directly above the atomizer, it also represents a disruption in the flow of vapor between the coil and user."
As for batteries 3 should be more than enough. And if you decide to move up at a later date you're not stuck with lottsa batts. Having said that I own 9 batts for my Don but bought the majority of them on sale. As for an extra charger it's always good to have one on hand considering how inexpensive they are and if the charger malfunctions you're in deep do do :shock: Be forewarned about plugging your charging into the USB port. Many ports can't handle them with the possible result of a broken port or a burnt Motherboard.
THANX AGAIN EVERYONE, UR the best!
And kudos back to you :D
Good Luck and keep in touch.

Three batteries should last you a good long time.. I have four KGOs but that's just because I had to have the extra colors! Us girls need to change it up once in a while! I only have the one charger that came with my kit,, and I suppose I should really get a back up! If you email Brent at Hoosier's he'll point you in the right direction. I have to wait for next payday cuz I spent my budget on yet MORE juice! Your order looks fabulous,, I think you'll be happy with it.. and you should have it by the end of the week!
