Gotta allow sone juices to "sit" put in hot tap water for 30- 45 mins> put in dark closet for 1 day> open and let air in> close put back in dark closet for another day> vape

Good info, I knew about letting them sit, I've never heard of setting them in hot tap water though. I thought that the liquids had to stay at room temp? Wouldn't that hot tap water be detrimental to the liquid?

All over the place
Hey guys. Great forum with so much info my head is spinning. I am just starting my journey to quit smoking after 25+ years. I bought a cheap gas station model to see if I would like it. I like the concept but the performance stinks. so after some research I have a KGO starter kit from dark city coming tomorrow. Any and all advice is welcome.


Not that the forum isn't AWESOME for EVERYTHING, but I usually tell people to check out tasteyourjuice.com, the main man Pbusardo is a one-stop-shop for beginners. He is also always willing to respond, and he never patronizes. Uncle Phil practically held my hand for a few months prior to my first post!

Welcome to the party Kcfromva and Latinstarlight.

Good move on the KGO... Like the others said... hit up Crystal Clear vaping. Hes a great guy and will answer your questions as well if you give him a ring. The ressurectors are great cartos as are the Stardusts / Ego Vision Clearomizers. Be sure to try them too.

Juices are all over. I recommend trying Highbrow and Vapedudes. You'll pay a tad more at highbrow but its sooooo worth it.
Many rave about Bobas Bounty but I havent tried that yet.

E Cig Juice @ *_Highbrow Vapor_* - E Liquid Store, Shop our Store for Ecig Products.

VapeDudes.com - Hand-Crafted Gourmet & Organic eJuice - 100% USA Ingredients


The initial head spinning will subside a couple weeks after you start vaping on that KGO and some good juice. Then you'll be eyeballing some variable voltage units and it will start all over again... lol Its seemingly the normal path of progression but keep on coming back in here and asking questions. Everyone here is eager to help and share their experiences.

Post a pic of your first deep vape on that KGO. We wanna see your reaction after having been vaping on that gas station cig !

Hang on and enjoy the ride !

I love Highbrow. I've yet to try anything there that I hated. The best thing (though it will make your head spin) is that he encourages customization to the point where he will recommend ways to customize virtually every one of his juices. For example, I simply love his exotic tobacco blend with a touch of apple. And his orange sangre is amazing! I'm going to get some cream added to my next order to see if I can get that cream sickle flavor, lol.

Ok guys. I received my KGO yesterday WOW is all that comes to mind. It definitely is stronger than I am use to. Puts out so much vapor its amazing. But as you should know i have more questions. Some may be stupid but here it goes. I have read that you push the button for a second and then draw but do you hold the button down the whole time you draw or let go and draw out whats left? How long is the juice good for? do you keep it at room temperature or refrigerate? How long do the cartos last after filled . how do you know if the carto is bad? That is enough for now but I am sure more to come. I have smoked 2 analogs since yesterday afternoon after receiving the KGO. I am sure I can quit now. Oh by the way now my wife wants one too. So I am sure another one will be on its way.

What is YMMV?? Is there somewhere on ECF that has definitions to all of these abbreviations??? I feel like such a dunce not knowing what these things mean?!?! lol

Literally means "Your mileage may vary" but is often used in forum talk meaning that your results will vary.

Oh yeah... That first WOW moment!! I love that!! I hold the button down the entire time I'm drawing. Long slow draws is best, not the quick puffs you used to do on an analog. How Lon the Cartos last really depends on how much you vape. I vape all day. Truly, if I'm awake I have a pv in hand! And I carry one in my pocket at work. I'll go through 7 or 8 Cartos in a day, easily. But that's mostly because I switch flavors a lot. I'll vape on one for a couple hours and change out for a different flavor. When you notice the flavor starting to get weak it's time to top it off, drip 5 or 10 drops in, you want to keep those Cartos wet. If you ever get a burnt taste throw it out. Once you burn it you can't ever get that taste out of it so it's important to keep them topped off. You could try standard resistance stardusts, they're a small tank unit with no filler and a lot of people use them on the KGOs.

Gotta go back & see what else you asked...

Ok, juice. I keep mine at room temp, in a big ol toolbox, actually. (yes, I have a lot!). The ones I like, I use up fairly quickly, the ones I don't I either sell on the classys here or trade with a friend. So none of my stuff hangs around for long. I wouldn't worry too much about them getting too old, most of them will improve with age anyway. And there are no stupid questions!!! Ask away my friend! And I think it's awesome that your wife wants one too! I don't know where you got yours but Hoosier ecig supply has some fabulous colors... Red, green, blue, pink. I've ordered three kits for friends in the past week from there & they have great customer service and fast shipping too.

@ kc & Latin
Welcome to ecf.
Bullette the kgo fan here. Thought I'd chime in about ejuices:
When I began reading posts on ECf I learned that quite a lot of vapers have trouble with pg juices. Not knowing if I might have trouble also, I decided to start out using only 100% vg to see how that would work for me. That went ok so the next order I increased it to 20% pg/ 80% vg. So far so good on that. Just my idea on juices as I wanted my vaping to be successful from the start & it has been.
Good luck to you both & keep comin back.

Thanks luv. First full day vaping and I like it alot. The only thing is I can not drink enough water. I have drank more water today than I have in the last 2 weeks. Will that change the more I use it? Also how would/do you keep all the carto's organized . I can not tell which flavor I put in which carto. And one more question for now. I know. Sorry for all the questions. Could you suggest a way to carry all this stuff in a simple convenient way? Thanks to everyone here. Without you guys I would be lost.

I use colored sharpie markers to write on the Cartos. It rubs off eventually but it stays on long enough. I still can't seem to drink enough water. Just take in as much as you can stand!! I bought an Ego carrying case, it looks a lot like a glasses case. Can't remember where I got it but if you look around, a lot of places have them. I also use a small zippered makeup bag. If you buy an ego case make sure it's the big one. I got one that was way too small to carry much and ended up giving it away. I kinda look forward to your questions!! I guess cuz I had all the same ones!! So ask away, we're all here to learn and get the best experience we can :)
