im not even going to go into reasons why i hate the blu but i personally think its the worst ecig out their


Strange how people have different taste, I think Blu was the best and I am so grateful that I started with it, I just adore their Cherry Crush flavor, I wish I can find an ejuice like that.

You are by FAR, the big exception. For every one poster happy with the Blu, there are easily 100 who find it terrible. Only very light vapers could find the Blu half way decent. And then there are all the unknown people who tried the Blu and just went back to smoking due to it's inconsistency, terrible battery life and hassle.
 
Oh real quick, does anybody know if the Kgo has a pcc ? If so where can I get one ? I think the Kgo is what I'm gonna go with and hopefully stick with for a long time. I have a done a little homework on it and so far everybody seems to think it's amazing and it's only 40 bucks. I was thinking though that since the battery does last for a while that there's no need for a pcc just a regular case.

As others have stated, Volt is better than the Blu for sure. But you are still stuck with crappy battery life on the Volt. Ego is over-hyped and has the smallest battery in that category. I would move up to a model that is at least 3.7 volt and 1000+ mAh. The options are: E-Power 510, Kgo 510 or Riva. The difference in size between a Volt and any of these is the difference between a large pen and a sharpie pen. Do you want people to still think you are smoking??

I'm chuckling while I sit here vaping on my new Joyetech eGo-C with a 1000mah battery that read 4v off the charger. I just checked them again and one is 4.022v the other is 3.95. The 3.95 has been through about 2 tanks, the other has been through a little over 1 tank.

And I should note, this kit with the upgrades from Cignot was cheaper than the most expensive one from the place the OP is looking.

Maybe it is overhyped (I don't know, I'm coming from some RN-4072s I bought in '09) but I see an awful lot of underhyping of the Joyetech brand going on too.

The only good thing I can say about the Blu is that the Vanilla and Peach flavors taste really good and smell really good. Other than that. Meh... lol

You want to look at Johnson Creek, that is who supplies Blu's juice. It won't be exactly the same but the quality is. They are also a little more expensive than some but once you get away from prefilled carts you'll save money even buying expensive juice.

I guess you don't know how to use a multimeter or it is defective. Even the eGo selling liteature states it is 3.4 volts. It may come off the charger at 4 volts (although I don't see how) but it vapes at 3.4 volts, plain and simple. There have been video reviews using multimeters that show exactly that as the ego manufacturer states.

Ohio,in the sticks!
Have a Kgo for 3wks and came from a V2 e-cig style. Battery on Kgo last me a day.
Oh real quick, does anybody know if the Kgo has a pcc ? If so where can I get one ? I think the Kgo is what I'm gonna go with and hopefully stick with for a long time.

Seriously??? I don't know how to touch positive to positive and negative to negative on a battery and push a switch? It's not exactly rocket science is it?
Every other battery I've tested has been in specs for the type, every wall socket I've tested has been in spec. But the Joyetech batteries are special, I need to watch a video to learn to test them. I don't think so.
Exactly were do you think this extra voltage is coming from for me to possibly be getting extra? If you test wrong you get less not more. You can't create more, you can create resistance.

I heard so much cutting them down about being limited and was shocked when I saw what I saw.
Maybe it's only the 650s that are protected. Maybe they removed the protection because people didn't like it (that would make sense since it seems the whole eGo thing has been a response to what vapers are doing and saying). Maybe mine is faulty in a good way. All I know is my 1000s that came from a dealer I found on Joyetech's site and is very well respected and they read exactly what I stated.

I just downloaded Joyetech's pdf for the upgrade batteries dated 3-20-2012 and it actually says you can switch between fixed or variable.
I'm not able to do that following their directions and my LED is the color they have as fixed. I'd say they listened to people and are giving them an option and I lucked out and got one that wasn't fixed at 3.3v but not so lucky to get one that can switch between the two options.
 
KGO kit 1100mAh by SLB

Transparent Acrylic Ribbon Drip Tips, 3.5ml Vision Clearomizer Resistance: Vision 2.3ohm,
Adapter for Dual Coil Tanks Style: 3.5ml Adapter, XXL 1.5ohm Dual Coil From Smok Tech Black with flat rubber tip

This is what I ordered last night from Hoosier E-cig supply. Please let me know if I'm missing anything. Also please let me know if you know where I can find a good carrying case that the Kgo can fit in.
 
LOL I already got juice, just ran out of my lemon blueberry cotton candy so I need to order more. Oh and Brent from Hoosier E-cig supply I have to say has been amazing ! Ok I ordered my Kgo kit along with the rest of what was mentioned above last night at around midnight. It's already been shipped ! I have never ordered anything from anybody online before and had it actually ship out the next morning. Also every question I have sent him has been answered super quick. So if anybody who reads this thread is thinking about getting a Kgo then definitely order from him. I'm so excited and hopefully it will be here tomorrow.
 
Oh real quick, has anybody had one of their animals try and eat their pv ? As soon as my friends dog who is very shy and never comes up to anybody smelled the fruity flavor I was puffin on he was in my lap trying to eat my pv. My dumb ... left it on the table thinking oh it's a chihuahua it won't be able to get up there. I came back and he was trying to stuff it under the couch. My other friends dog also would not leave it alone. Every single time I took a toot he was in my face trying to lick the pv. So yeah just a little note to watch your animals.
