After much research and advice from the members on this site, I have decided to purchase the KGO. I see there are two places to purchase it- Hoosier or Northwest Vapors. I thought they were the same and it wouldn't matter which site I ordered from; however, most order from Hoosier and there is also something about a different button on the one from Northwest. Problem is Hoosier is out of all colors other than pink and gold. Northwest has a bunch of colors in stock. Does anyone know if there really is a significant difference if I go ahead and order from Northwest or should I wait on Hoosier to restock?

The only reason I would not order from Hoosier is the logo plastered all over their KGOs. I wouldn't mind if it wasn't so gaudy, but....

I like the kit from Dark City because it comes with cartos with the option to add more cartos for only $4, and comes with a free drip tip. Otherwise Sweet-Vapes, Northwest, or Virgin Vapor are all good.

I have Hoosier's KGOs too and seriously, you can't even see that logo unless you look for it. BUT.. I like the Dark City Kit because it comes with cartomizers instead of the crappy atomizers that come in every other KGO kit. Really, they're junk and you won't use them. That makes the Dark City kit a much better deal, IMO.. btw, I have four KGOs and I love, love, love them!

Don't forget, if you're going to be using cartomizers, and you don't already have some favorite juices, you're going to want an atomizer or two to test juices before you fill a cartomizer with a juice you don't even like. Plus, if you run short on cartomizers, you can always drip, using an atomizer, until your cartos come in.

So, the wise thing to do is get the atomizer kit. Atomizers cost more than cartomizers. Buy the cartomizers separately. Then you get the cartomizers you want, and the atomizers you need, and end up spending less than if you bought the atomizers separately. Plus, you get a drip tip with the atomizer kit that you don't get with a cartomizer kit.

With the atomizer kit, you get about $19 worth of atomizers and drip tips.
With the carto kit, you get $7 or $8 worth of cartomizers that may or may not be good ones.

BTW the Elitevapor kGo comes with Boge cartos. You can't get any better than Boge.

I can't fault your logic, but I got the Kgo kit with the atomizers, and am not sure if it was due to being my first try with atomizers, or if (as another poster indicated) that the atomizers included are of poor quality, but I could not get a good vape for the life of me with those atomizers.

The Kgo batteries themselves are excellent, and Hoosier's service lives up to their excellent billing.
I also ordered the 650mah Kgo from Sweet-Vapes and found them to be a quality provider to deal with too.

Hoosier's an excellent vendor. I just don't think it matters if they include cartos or atomizers. You really need them both anyway.

Is there such a thing as a 650mah kGo? Are you sure it wasnt an eGo? I'm pretty familiar with Sweet-Vapes site. They're usually who I refer people to for kgos, but I don't recall ever seeing a 650mah kgo, there or anywhere.

Im still new to all this, but the Kgo Vision Kit I ordered by default was 650. I had to specify 1100 when I ordered. Heres the link.

Ahh... You're right. I've been on that site a million times and just gloss over the 650mah batteries. I see 650mah and automatically think eGo.

Yup, that's where I got my 650mah Kgo batteries from.

Sailorman, seeing that you shop there, have you ever tried their juices?
I'm on a quest for new flavors, and seeing that they are one of my preferred venders, I was thinking of trying out some of their juices.

I haven't tried their juice, to be honest. I started DIY before I had a chance to. I've only heard a couple comments about it and they were both good though. One was that it was "sweet".. I don't know if that was meant literally, or someone was just playing off the name, haha.

Thanks,
I'll include some samples with my next order from them.
They have some flavor titles that interest me.

By the way, thanks for being so active here. Your posts have helped me (and others) out a lot!

I've bought two KGO kits from Hoosier and the logo is so understated I don't even notice it. And it wouldn't be an issue for me even if I did.
That said, the Elite Vapors deal seems awesome:
Elite Vaporworks KGO Starter Kit with Boge LR Cartomizers - KGO

+1 on that, the logo is barely visible

I have Hoosier's KGOs too and seriously, you can't even see that logo unless you look for it. BUT.. I like the Dark City Kit because it comes with cartomizers instead of the crappy atomizers that come in every other KGO kit. Really, they're junk and you won't use them.

OK. It just looks so big and obvious in pics and video reviews. My bad. :p
