Today, the XXL Elegant has disappeared from the CigEasy site??????? I ordered my husband the new GO-GO which comes with 2 batteries rated at 1300 mah (same as XXL Elegant), but uses proprietary cartomizers which are much higher in price (but hold 3 ml) than the WOW Vapor4Life cartomizers that I love. I have seen on other posts that adaptors will become available to make it KR808D-1 compatible, but they seem to be already overdue - so not holding my breath on future compatibility. So now I have to chose between battery life (regular elegants are only rated 750 mah) and Kr808D-1 compatibility. Any thoughts or suggestions?
The XXL EE is great for it's long battery life - I get about 10 hours of pretty heavy vaping out of it.
The giant cartos on the Go-Go are really awesome; they last forever and I get huge amount of vapor from them!
I can't imagine ever bothering to use an 808 carto on my Go-Go, though I too would like to have an adapter just so the option is there if I ever wanted to.

Actually a 5pk of G0-Carts are only about $4 more than a 5pk of empty WOW cartomizers and hold 3x more e-juice per cart! The price may seem high to you in comparison until you actually try out one of these amazing GO-carts and experience the flavorful difference.
I believe your husband will be quite pleased with your purchase (lucky guy!)
The Chinese New year is likely to blame for many delays across the board if you have noticed many vendors are awaiting back orders on product since last month.
I believe since these adapters are being custom designed for the GO-GO they should be worth the wait! Meanwhile, I am very impressed with the GO-GO so far as is!

I have a XXL 1300 mah as well as a 510, IMO I like the 510 better then the XXL. At first I thought I would like the XXL better and I do like the XXLs battery life better. I have found that the 510 makes better vapor and a stronger hit at least for me. I used the XXL about a week 2 charge cycles and it now sits in a box at home unused. It was a expencive lesson for me for sure!. The XXL does look better then the 510 but for me at least it didnt fit the bill. I just couldnt get a strong hit out of the XXL I found myself doing many primer hits to get what I wanted from my "E". I sure got tired out fast with all that sucking!. Others may like the XXL but for me I will stick with my 510. I guess I am lucky to have a large bank acount and I will keep buying new products in the hope I will find my "E" match!. Lucky I got 6 batterys for the 510! LOL

When it comes right down to it, the XXL is just a battery so it's only going to be as good as the cartos and juice that you use with it.
The Go-Go, on the other hand, is a complete system. Performance will still depend partially on the juice you use, but the cartos are really good; I believe they are a copy of the style of cartos that Bloog uses in their MaxxFusion line.

I wish I knew this before buying! that was a lot of money for a battery! I was useing the "gold carts" I still have 9 boxes left!. I guess I could send my XXL to a modder he may find a use for it!

Sorry to hear the Elegant batt is not working out for you Zorba1.
As griffin stated with performance particularly not getting a good hit has alot to do with the juice and cartomizer.
I might add that if the cartomizer is not threaded to the battery in such a way to allow sufficient air flow it can be like sucking a thick milkshake out of a tiny straw!
I have experienced this with some KR808D-1 auto batts with variants in air hole placement on the threaded battery end and the cartomizer when screwed on tight does not provide adequate air flow resulting in poor perfomance. I have never experienced any problems with the Elegant not making good contact with most KR808D-1 cartomizers with the exception of a few random Mega sized carts that were non Boge or Kanger.
I suppose you could always try the classifieds here and opt to sell your Elegant and Gold Label carto stash to recoup some of your investment? I love both my Elegant batteries and was at first dissapointed that the 1300 was going to be replaced with the GO-GO...that was until I tried ithe new GO-GO out and now am really loving it!
Oddly enough the battery on the GO-GO is 1300mAh same as the Elegant however, the GO-GO battery lasts remarkably longer with continued use far outlasting the Elegant 1300 12+ hour range! It weighs only about 4grams more but seems lighter in hand and yet is shorter in length and wider in diameter by approx. 2mm.
Elegant 1300 battery Diameter = 14mm
GO-GO 1300 battery diameter = 16mm

SSV2 - do have a picture comparing the sizes of the Elegant Easy, Elegant 1300, the new Go-Go and a standard KR808d1? I'm intrigued by the Nhalers and their battery lives, but I like the analog size of the standard kr808s.
Thanks!!

I am in the process of taking additional photos using a better camera for my upcoming review that will hopefully provide even better detail than my camera phone was able to capture in the pics shown above.
