Anyone know what the amp limit is for the switch regulator? Hopefully it is higher than the tiny 2.5 limit on the twist.
I'll skip these new VV kGos.
Like all of the new VV devices coming out of the far east these poorly-calibrated PWM VV kGos are probably incapable of producing a true regulated 3.7V. The output at 3.7 will be more like 4.5V. Better use these VV kGos with a 3.0 SR device to begin with then experiment with lower resistance.
Further evidence: Hoosier E-cig Supply is discontinuing their excellent Smok Tech LR single coil cartos. The new generation of poorly-calibrated PWM APVs from the far east are known to burn these out at 3.7V. They don't want to sell cartos that the new VV kGo will burn out.
Control: My regulated 3.7V E-Power 14650 will not burn out LR single coil cartos down to 1.5 ohms. Neither will the Provari.

It's not even OUT yet and it's being called crap, lol.
If I win the lotto tomorrow I still won't buy a provari.

Oh, I definitely want one. But I want the 1000 or 1100 mah that will come out shortly after as past history shows. I wish they'd just come out with the longer battery and colors from the get-go. But yeah, a vari in a Kgo and with passthru to boot.! My twists will sit idly by.
Found them... They look pretty cool!

Will definitely grab one, actually contemplating ordering 10 lol so I can get em now. Who knows when a US supplier will get them.

hmm and apparently this is the manufacturers site

This has a Li-PO battery vs standard Li-ion batts. Battery University says Li-PO is safer but more expensive than Li-ion. Another reason to love my Kgo.
BTW: why are they calling this a Kgo and not just calling it what the SLB website calls it a "Ego-V"?

Because of copyright infringements. Even tho Ego has become somewhat of a generic term, the name eGo belongs to Joyetech. Always look to see what letter is capitalized.
They do look pretty cool. Just hope that LCD doesnt eat up the battery too much.
Right, they're only 650 mah. It says they're good for a max of 500 puffs. Don't really know how long that translates time wise for me. I'm sure they'll have a 1000 mah to follow.
Odd, wonder why the page says 1100 mah (which is what my current kgo is) but the picture says 650.
There'll be versions. Always is.

Just because the old SLB kGo used a 1100 mAh LiPo battery doesn't mean the new VV version is the same. Best wait until someone cracks one open to find out, or wait for manufacturer's specs to be published.
Looks like it's 650 mAh... I ordered one yesterday, should be arriving by Tuesday or Wednesday (28th or 29th).

I can hardly wait.... I love my Lavatube for home vaping, and have a Twist for work, but this'll be my new work PV!!

Yep, the linked page clearly states it's Li-Po 650 mAh. Once again the extra room required for the VV electronics and display board means less room is available for the battery. When it comes to battery capacity, size means a lot
I don't own a twist and I don't own a Kgo. That said, the Kgo is a bit better than an Ego ONLY because the Kgo is calibrated to 3.7V as opposed to the 3.4V for the Ego. When you get to VV, the Kgo loses that advantage. Unless the Kgo provides more amperage and that hasn't been established, the difference comes down to styling. So, I don't see what the big deal is.
