ok so i ordered the starter kit with kgo and the new v2 clearomizers with 24 mg of nic i thought the nic lvl was to high thus being the reason i couldent inhale so i went down to 8 i try inhaling the 8 and it is still 100% immposible i can take a 30s drag off of it and still get 100% no vape exhaled, Not to mention the horrible pain that comes with it. Anyways along with the clearomizers i ordered that were all half broken i got some new liquid with 0mg of nic. This is still pretty much immposible to inhale and still no vape. The way i fill them is by pooring it in up the the 1.6 line and letting it sit for about 10 min. Then i take a phew non inhale drags. I can get a bit of vape when i dont inhale but on the exhale i get nothing constantly no matter how big the drag

Returning the kgo just thought i would throw a little warning out there for other begginers who might try it
It's difficult to read your post, but is it possible that you burned the cartos by not filling them sufficiently?
Not quite sure what you're saying about the vaping experience...whether you are getting too harsh a hit, or no hit at all, or something else?
I wouldn't be too quick to blame your PV. So, you say you are returning it - for a refund? Or are you just sending it back to wherever you got it because you don't like it? Again, confusing. Not sure which vendor is going to refund your money after you've used the thing for a while as it appears you have.
I own three KGO kits and am perfectly happy with them, and two friends of mine have also ordered the same and love 'em. So I'm just throwing this response up in case a newbie manages to understand your post and decides that KGOs are crap.

This is actually the first time I've seen a post denigrating a kgo. I would definately try some other carto before deciding the kgo was at fault. Also, it would help to know if you were using a low resistance or SR carto and what formulation of juice, pg/vg.
With no vape, maybe the clearomizers are not making contact? Is the KGO turned on? It has a 5 push button for on/off. Maybe not charged?
Did you charge a battery 1st, before trying to vape? When you hit the button, are you seeing the LED come on? When I got my kGo kit, I filled a carto, stuck it on a battery, and hit the button, and got a very weak vape. A few minutes of this, and I thought "Well, something isnt right here", so I charged the battery, and had no problems afterwards. I think the batteries come with a small charge already, enough that you don't get the blinking LED "charge me" situation, but not really enough juice in them to do much with.
The kgo is not the problem. Come ask us for help before you send it back. The clearomizer may not be right for you. Otherwise it is likely a user error.
What is the mix of your juice. Maybe it is 100% PG which would lessen the vapor amount and could be to harsh on your throat. IMO those type of clearomizer dont really much produce vapor and has a tighter draw compared to using a cartomizer.

Bullette the Kgo fan here. Been using my Kgo for 3 months now. As I'm a newbie, I use only Boge 2.0 LR cartomizers with my Kgo. This is because of my penchant for simplicity. Boges are easy to fill, easy to keep wet. They are a consistently quality product. No leaking. No mess. Just decent vape.
Nothing wrong with a Kgo. Nothing wrong with a plain ol' cartomizer. I'm saving the fancy stuff like tanks, clearos, & Provaris for later when I've got some vaping time under my belt.
Cheers

Not sure what you mean by "horrible pain".
Is it too hot?
Where do you feel the pain?
What have you used before trying the Kgo?
What's the resistance of the clearomizer?
We're here to help, but need more details.
I'm with the others that don't think the battery is at fault.

There's far too many happy kGo vaping newbs around here for the fault to lie with the battery. Unless it's defective, I'd estimate the odds of the kGo being the culprit at less than zero.
If it's putting out the voltage it's supposed to, no other fixed voltage 3.7V PV on the planet, regardless of cost, is going to vape any better. If you're using bad clearo's or cartos or juice or whatever, a gold-plated Provari won't fix it. If you're getting results as bad as what you're describing, you need to first confirm that you're getting the proper voltage. A cheap meter will tell the tale, and you're going to need/want one anyway if you intend to keep vaping. Then, you need to take a look at your technique, your juice delivery system and your juice, roughly in that order.
I can categorically state, with no doubt whatsoever that, unless it's defective, your kGo isn't the problem.

I have been using a KGO with clearomizers for 6 weeks and the only times I have had problems similar to yours was when the wicks dried. You have to move them around (dip them upside down occasionally) or the wicks will dry and you will get a burned cartomizer taste that will burn your throat and have little or no vapor!!
Some of the clearomizers I've used have a tight draw to varying degrees. I've got one that's really hard to draw and others that are a little tight but not too bad. All of them are tighter than a cartomizer, but I think that's just the nature of the beast or so it seems to me.
I agree with the others here. The KGO is not the problem. It's either faulty clearos or user error. Try using a plain old low resistance (1.7 - 2.0ohm) cartomizer with the KGO and let us know how it vapes.

I had the same problem, but it was due to a couple of Ego Vision carts I bought on sale. They did not connect with the Kgo battery without a connector. I could not get a connection and it sounds like that's what you are experiencing.The vendor had problems with these and had put them on sale. Went back to the original ones and works great, By the way, just love the long wick version! Don't give up on the Kgo I love mine, but am frustrated that 1 stopped working after 6 weeks and another won't connect to the charger any longer.Down to one battery and panicking. Just ordered a Twist and am stalking the mailman!
Happy kGo vaping newb here! I only know what I've experience from my wife and I's kGo kits that we've had for a few weeks, but I'd give some regular old low res cartos a try as suggested. That's what we've used so far and I haven't had a single problem from the batteries...just the newb-usual burning a couple of the cartos.
