Actually, you can use any 306 stuff on a 510. They are compatible. I don't know why they have a different number/name.

Now that I think more thoroughly on this, the 306 screws are compatible with 510, but I think the 306 body is a tad smaller. You would need a 306 drip tip to fit a 306 atty.

Remember a kgo is not 510, 901, or anything compatible, so you will have to stick to the few online sites to purchase new cartos and attys specifically made for the KGO.

Who fed you this line of crap? And why did you swallow it?

You should probably spend some more time learning before you attempt teaching. 'Cuz that sentence right there is 100% wrong.

I used to use 306 Boge cartomizers on my 510 3.7 PVs. The hit with the 306 cartos was a tad warmer even at the same ohm, probably because of the slightly smaller body of the 306s. A 306 drip tip was too big for the 306 Boge carto. I had to have a special 306 carto drip tip to use them. It got to be a hassle to find the 306 carto drip tips, so I went back to 510 cartos as there wasn't that much difference between them. However, a 306 drip tip to fit a 306 atty is common so you will have no trouble finding one of those.

Ok let me set something straight. I have a Kgo from Hoosier. It comes with 2 attys. So you have them already. If you want to drip juice to taste it, you just have to drip about 5 drops into the atty. Then, if you don't have a drip tip or a mouthpiece, put one of the white round rubber ends of a cartomizer on the end to cover the atomizer. vape away.

Get a drip tip, then you can drip right into the atomizer.

Oh geeze.. I just read my directions and it said the 8 hour deal then 20 minutes... then an hour. LoL i put it on the charger it went green I figured I was good to go.. I've been using last couple hours. Should I do the 8 hour thing now or is it too late? I'm hoping I didn't hurt it too much.

They are old instructions that for some reason are still included in kits. It's not necessary. When the light is green- go!

I just got my kgo kit on monday. I did the whole charging routine with one of the batteries, but being the impatient sort I ended up using the other battery just with the charge it had on it out of the box while waiting for the other to charge.

A few days later, I can't tell a bit of difference in performance between the two. They both come off the charger with the same voltage (tested on my multimeter) and both last just as long....

Oh good! I just figured it isn't too bad considering that pbusardo who does YouTube reviews didn't do that when he opened It.. lol he just vaped away after he showed it turning green.

Wait a second, are the Kgo batteries Lithium? I was assuming they were. If they are Lithium then charging all the way full and letting them drain all the way and all that other fun stuff can be thrown out the window.

Regardless I'm still buying the thing but now I'm curious! By the way that Brent dude (from Hoosier) got back to me within about an hour of me sending him an email with a couple of questions. That's what I call customer service. I sent an email to Blu's customer service one time and it took 8 days to get a response. See that's how you do good business! Now there is no doubt about it, I will be ordering about $100 worth of stuff from him for sure!

I'm loving my kgo as well! It's weird tho I changed to a different cartomizer with a different juice. I have to push the button down for a couple seconds and wait for the snap crackle and pop sound before I take a draw. If I do it right away hardly any vapor ha. I guess it has to cook for a second.

Im new to vaping. But one thing that stands out to me is....consistency when it comes to hardware is, non existent. I get one carto that vapes perfectly, another dry hits, burnt flavor. I try tanks, one carto floods, another cant seem to get enough juice in it. One carto sounds like a swarm of bees buzzing inside, another just airy breeze.

Im begining to understand the term YMMV.

Ha you got that right. Just the one downfall with vaping. I quit cigs back in 2010 with snus and nasal snuff. If my kgo batts go kaput I have back ups. No charger required. LoL

Just got done doing my first 20 minute binge on my new kgo with the EMDCC carto and feel like I finally found the sweet spot of vaping heaven.

I was ready to give up on the vaping thing using the 808-D's and those little carts(lots of labor when you are doing 5ml of juice a day.

Thanks Hoosier supply!!!!!!:vapor:;)

Damn I'm jealous! I just finished placing my order with Hoosier! I didn't purchase any of the EMDCC carto's. I decided (for now) to just get the Boge LR cartomizers and also bought one Smoketech 1.5ohm dual coil carto. I was also eyeing up that Dual Coil Cartomizer Tank kit from smoketech, but I decided to pass for now.

Namgic did you try dripping with your kgo yet? Also how many days did it take to receive your order?

Yep. I'm about 3 months into vaping trying different setups and this is exactly where I've settled on for now myself. Been rocking the KGo with EMDCCs for about a month now and the system is perfect. No constant filling, I like the rubber tip on the cartos and the EMDCCs look perfect on the KGo.

Congrats on finding this setup as well!

Jdiulious, I have not tried dripping yet, need to study that to understand that better. HeavyMGS, yeah the EMDCC is very impressive look on the kgo, can't see much use for any of the other cartos right now.

It took 4 days to get from Hoosier, I ordered 2 starter kits from Hoosier both in the titanium finish, they came in as 1 set chrome and 1 set titanium, chrome seems to always get finger prints but it's all good.

I just cancelled the business day for the shop today due to the storm but it's probably more because I can kick back and vape my morning away!!!!:vapor::toast:

The Kgo IS a 510 thread. The 306 atty is also a 510 thread. 306 drip tips slide down over the outside of the atty to seal it from leaks. A drip tip for a 510 atty fits inside the end of the atty with a rubber o-ring that helps to seal it and keep the tip from popping off.

Just some clarification. BTW, Madvapes has had their 306 attys with your choice of colors in drip tips on sale for $1.99 lately.

A fluted drip tip has a large hole that allows you to drip into the atty without removing the tip. This is the best way to try new juices without filling a cartridge or cartomizer. With the 3.7v Kgo, you might like 2.5 ohm atomizers or 2.0 ohms, depending on whether you want a warmer or cooler vape. If prefer 2.0 with the eGo 3.4v batts and 2.5 with 3.7v.

I think the draw is a little hard with EMDCC.
