Hi, I'm a long time lurker who just registered and this is going to be a bit of a long post so you've been forwarned.
I've been using a PV on and off for a while now and really enjoyed it, but just couldn't switch over completely. After researching and reading reviews I started out with a couple KR808D-1 batteries, a personal charging case, and a pass through, and I liked it, had no problem going with out cigarettes... If I was at home.
My downfall was trips, the coffee shop, and nights out at the bar. I'd take it with me, but forget about loading up cartridges, I'd have had to carry around dozens of things, so I'd take a little bottle of liquid and refill my favorite cartridge(got radically different performance from one cartridge to the next, even from the same batch from the same supplier) and a backup or two in case my 'good' cartridge decided that was the time to kick the bucket. I'd puff away contentedly until the battery died, then I'd switch batteries, and puff away until it died. I'd pull the first battery off the charge case and use it until it died, much more quickly this time. Then I would stare at the second battery that I new was going to last about 5 minutes on such a short charge, and I'd go buy a pack of cigarettes. Then I'd buy couple dozen more. I'd eventually remember my promise to myself and switch back over to the PV only to repeat the whole cycle over again as soon as I stopped forcing myself to be a vapor hermit and broke away from my passthrough cable for any appreciable amount of time. I tried additional batteries but I hated carrying so much stuff around and even carrying four batteries with me only delayed the inevitable. My brother who had attempted the switch over with me had experienced the same exact problem. Something had to change and this pattern of behavior made it pretty self evident that it wasn't going to be me.
So I started my research all over again and wow had things changed since my first foray into the world of personal vaporizers. One of the things I found was bobalex's wonderful video YouTube - My E-Cig Year in Review and the thread he posted it in here. He linked to some other threads about the Go Go and after a good bit of reading and comparing it to reviews for some of the other modern options(excellent when they worked, but fiddly to keep them working from what I've read) I went ahead and placed an order for me and my brother. Consider us converted.
The Go Go just works, and it works well. I have yet to actually run either one of my two batteries all the way down. I can load up a cartridge or two and actually go do all the things I love doing with out coming home with a pack of cigarettes. Nice vapor cloud, nice throat hit, excellent battery life, huge cartridges. I am officially in love with this thing. I can't even imagine needing a passthrough cable anymore, it will last just us long sitting at home as it does anywhere else. So if anyone is looking for a great PV that is rock solid reliable and requires minimal maintenance I can not hesitate to tell you to buy a Go Go now. If you are a newbie thinking about buying your first PV and you can convince yourself you don't need one that looks like a cigarette then buy a Go Go now and save yourself from buying one a few months down the line. It is really that good of a product.
