I am still fiddling around with my new Kgo 1100 battery, but I have discovered that I am not allergic to the PG (which is a relief because I had no 100% vg to try) but I believe I am allergic to the filling in the Boge LR cartos. Headaches, itching, major coughing--just an all around horrible experience. It took days to get my throat back to normal even with tons of water. As I result, I went back to analogs. I was ready to can the whole thing when I remembered I had ordered a couple of Stardusts 2.1-2.4ohm and decided I should try them.

So much better! I get great vapor, but I am still not getting the warm vape. Not an important thing for me, but my first experience with the Stardust was that I was not getting any flavor at all. I searched through the forums and came across someone else who said that the rubber tip and the tube--which I still don't understand which tube they were referring to--deplete the flavor of the juice. After I read that, I took off the rubber drip tip and had an even better vapor and the flavor really started to come through. I am not sure if I am getting the flavor off the sides from when I poured in the liquid or if the rubber drip tip is really affecting the flavor. Now I have to find something to replace the rubber drip tip. I had a drip tip that I used on the Boge carto, but it does not fit the Stardust. I love the Stardust--smooth and non corrosive to the throat--and think I will stick with them despite the bad reviews.

Questions-- Are there any tips I can use on it? Also, can I clean these or do they sell one with a replacement coil head? If it cannot be cleaned, about how long do they last and how do I tell if it time to move on to a new one? AND can I transport my Kgo with one on it or will it leak? Is it better to remove and carry each separately?

I like to think I am getting there, and these Stardusts were a life saver. Too bad I cannot use the Viva Novas on the Kgo--or at least that is what I read--although I don't understand why not. Many thanks for your responses!

I use the Stardust CE4. I get about 10 days out of each one. You know when it's going bad because the draw will get tight and the vapor production will be less. At this point you can clean and dry burn the gunk off the coil, or toss it away. I haven't gotten good results cleaning them so I toss them. Others have gotten good results cleaning them however.

The Stardust CE3 does have replaceable coils.

Many thanks for all your responses. I definitely like the clearos over the cartos, but I need to try the VG liquid as I still feel as though I am inhaling pepper with very little flavor. The rubber tip has got to go as well so I will get the adapter. Thanks Glasseye--perfect advice--I never would have known to look for that.
