Hi JJ. You probably read mine where I stated, "I do. When I bought my SLB KGO set the charger it came with had the same input/output as my eGo charger. "
Brent then stated, "No a Joye eGo charger will not charge the KGO. Joye has some kind of proprietary connector that won't work with the KGO.
But the KGO charger will charge a Joye eGo... Go figure."
Since reading Brent's post, I now use only the KGO charger that came with the KGO kit.
Hope this helps.

JJ, from your post I can't tell whether you only have one charger or several. If you only have one I'd suggest you get a spare. Hoosier has them for $4. If you have several, you probably have one that will work for the KGO. I use the Desan 420maH that came with a Riva 510 kit.
Both videos on HoosierEcig's site sold me on the KGO.
I'm really surprised there is such a small 'following' on such a great product.
Hopefully you'll get your hardware issues squared away.
Hey! Maybe that big hammer you have in your signature line could help resolve your hardware issues...ha!

I have several Riva 510's and a KGo. I've been using the KGo for almost 3 months and it still performs like the day I received it. I use both with 1.7 Ohm single coil mega cartos. When someone offers the KGo in a carto kit I will purchase another for myself and one for my Son.
OK so I am a newb, I admit it. I am using a Riva 1100 Mah and have been very happy with everything about it. Is this the same battery or is there something new about the Kgo? I don't intend on buying one now but I have no doubt that a battery will fail eventually so it would be good to know.
Thank you Brent_MC and BTW I just ran across Hoosier E-Cig from this thread. Looks like great prices and from what I read great service.
My KGO arrived. I have a battery on the charger, which requires an initial 8 hour charge. Trying' to be patient... Ha! Thought I would share a pic showing how the titanium KGO looks with a EMDCC.
Looks sharp to me... Can't wait to fire it up!
Awesome pic! Kewl ash(less) ashtray!
Does anybody have the ability to do a side-by-side comparison of a KGO and a "standard" Riva/ego/etc? One with an EMDCC would be excellent. I have a Riva SE now, would like to move up, just curious how much longer the KGO would be.
The battery on a KGO is 1 inch longer than the battery on a Riva SE.

Thanks for the info, I think I can visualize that.
Another quick question, since the KGO looks to have the same diameter as a RIVA, would a Riva cone work to run on a KGO? The new cones that come with the KGO will handle the bigger diameter cartos, and I'd love to be able to switch back and forth.
Anyone know of a supplier selling spare parts for the KGO batteries? Or does anyone have an out of commission battery that they'd be willing to pull the button off?
Have a battery that is only 10 days old and lost the button tonight rendering it useless.

Just to follow up, Bill from NWVapors.com just emailed me to say that he's going to
cannibalize one from a battery he has on hand and send it off.
He mentioned that he's getting replacement buttons shipped from the factory so anyone that
winds up in a similar situation will be able to get them from him soon.

Just had a weird issue with my new kGo set that you all may be able to help me with.
I have been using an EMDCC with my kGo batts for a week. All of a sudden, I pull one of the batts off the charger, drop the EMDCC on it and when I push the button it flashes 4 times. Thought the batt was bad but I tried an XL dual coil and it fired fine. Then I put the EMDCC on my other batt and it is working fine.
What causes the 4 blinks and why would it do it on one batt but not another with the exact same carto?

That happened to me with one EMDCC. You need to lift the center post on the carto for the KGO that blinks. When you put the carto on the other KGO... It will work but it will also push the center post back down. You'll have to lift the center post again when you put it back on the KGO that flashed.
I'm not sure why this happened with only one of my emdcc's... But it did none the less.
Here's a vid that will show you how to lift the center post...

Raising the center post has become the standard ritual these days.
For the newbies, be aware that some earlier posts recommended raising the center post on the battery. This should only be done as a last resort because it is easy to break the tiny wires.
Breaking a $3 carto is bad enough. Breaking a $20 battery is worse.
