my CIGIREX has a battery that will not fit the carto of the older ecig my mom gave me.. the cigirex has the male thread while the older ecig has female threads. I hope this cigirex is a 510 so that way i can just buy some more cartos and i just need another battery for now.. but i am probably going to get the epower anyway.
KGO or E-Power?

A 510 battery connector has a female thread. A 510 carto has the male thread. I'm pretty sure the Cigirex is either a KR808 or one of the other threads that I can't remember the name of. If it's an 808, you can get an adapter for about $3 from most places that sell 510 cartos. If It's one of the others, you're probably out of luck. If you post a pic of the Cigirex, someone might recognize the thread pattern. The old e-cig sounds like it might be a 510.
Well, I just dropped the hammer on a kGo kit plus some sr ego vision clearos from hoosierecigsupply. Bobas Bounty & Hype are on the way from avejuice. I think my next purchase will be a white SmokTek SmokBox VariCool with a 510 eGo adapter.
i just sprung for a epower this morning from CCV .. should be interesting.. it was a toss up between epower and kgo..
Get both! You probably eventually will anyway.
Either one is a great choice, I'm sure you'll be happy with it.
thanks. what would you suggest for significant improvement on voltage without going with a mod. i really don't see myself as a lavatube or provari gal as i'm always on the go and people at uni would look at me funny when smoking in the halls with one of those. cheers
I got an Epower from CCV and it's a great unit and works really well with the Resurrector cartos they included. I like it so much I bought a spare kit while they have it priced well and also got a spare switch to put away for the future. I vaped on mine all day yesterday on a single charge...
Both are good,flip a coin or play RPS. You wouldn't lose with either.
I have a Kgo!

I'd probably go with the E-power if I were comparing the Kgo and the E-power.
That said, this video shows an AW 18650 IMR battery with a voltmeter and a dual coil carto right off the charger dropping under load to 3.47v. The 1100mah eGo battery held at 3.8 or so using the same DVM module and dual coil carto.
I don't see that on my Provari using 2 ohm or 3 ohm cartos. I have the same DVM module. Of course, the voltage I see on the DVM is boost regulated, but the voltage test built into the Provari checks the battery under load, sizzling the carto while the voltage displays. After vaping a couple of hours at 4.2v on a 3 ohm AW 18650 IMR, I will typically show 3.8v true battery voltage under load. I haven't tried it using a dual coil, though.
I couldn't see whether the AW battery was a 1600mah or a 2000mah.

You made a very smart purchase. Whatever APV you choose you want to be covered with back-up parts or equipment. You just can't go out to Walmart and buy another E-Power 14650 or Provari.
I would recommend to anyone who is getting an e-Power to skip the AW's. I've notice that my AW 14500 IMRs are downright wimpy under load. The AW ICRs seem a lot more robust. I will never buy AW 18650s. The Panasonics are a far superior battery. I'll guarantee you that a kGo won't be besting a Panny in a voltage shootout. IMO, AW IMRs are terribly over-hyped on ECF, probably for no other reason than their chemistry. Their performance doesn't impress me at all.
AW used to make a 14670 that fit the E-Power 14650. I can't recall if that was protected ICR or IMR but it's no longer available. Protected Trustfire Blue 14650 (ICR) is the best battery I've found for the E-Power 14650 so far.
Somebody's probably covers this in a later post I haven't gotten to yet, but AFAIK the only thing is the cone base of the eGo is of a smaller diameter than the E-Power, so anything for an eGo that has a skirt - like a Stardust - will require an extension to sit a bit higher on an E-Power. No biggie, I'm running one on mine right now, in fact. It just doesn't look quite as cute but personally I'm delighted with the trade-off. (I don't look all that cute either, but "form follows function"!)
Happy Vaping!
i am just waiting for my epower to come in.. i am dealing with the CIGIREX and its fine, but at night it dies on me.. But if i can get some adapter perhaps ill use this with my epower cartos when i go out with friends and i dont want to carry around what might be perceived as a weapon, im kidding but it is a big harder to throw in the shirt pocket.
i need to look into 510s like the joye because this small ecig i have is going to die sooner or later and i think i am really going to like the manual.. this automatic can be a bit of a pain..

I'm pretty sure the Halo G6 is a KR808D-1, not a 510, & I've never heard of a CIGIREX that I recall. However if you're just buying the juice to refill your existing cartos that won't matter for the time being. I've never tried Halo's liquids but have read both wonderful and terrible things about them here, so I'd suggest trying several small sample-sized bottles if possible. I believe some of their flavors are quite popular here, but one person's perfect is another person's putrid so you'll never know until you try 'em.
Best of luck & Happy Vaping!
