    Can it be done? Using a USB hub with 2A PSU to charge ego/Riva and Kr808 batteries

    I have need to charge several batteries at one time in my home, for various family members: 2 ego/Riva chargers (420mAh draw) 3 KR808 chargers (240mAh draw) I charge these in a single location, currently I have a plug strip with a bunch of AC-->USB adapters each with one connector to charge...

    New atty, burnt taste: is this because they are new or did I burn it myself?

    Been at this a while, mostly with cartos or regular attys. Just picked up some 2.0 ohm 510 attys last week with a Riva kit. I tried to clean the factory primer off the coil with some 100% pg, and it did indeed taste awful! :blink: Once I'd gone thru maybe 10-12 drops I tried to do a short...

    Better than days-before-christmas: 1st LF order anticipation giddy

    I've been lurking around the LF forum for weeks now, waiting patiently for the Steel RIVA SE kits to arrive. Now finally pulled the trigger! Was everybody's "first time" this anxious? I hope the LF transporter can find Iowa! :laugh:

    Vodka vs Everclear or cleaning attys

    I'm about to pick up some new attys, was wondering if anybody had an opinion on using Everclear as opposed to just regular 80proof Vodka on the old ones I have now? They still work, but are in need of a "deep cleaning". I can get Everclear (196proof) at a local grocery store ($16.99 for...

    Any Pics of Steel Riva SE cone + Steel eGo passthru?

    Just out of curiosity, does anybody have a pic with a Steel RIVA SE cone mated to a Steel eGo passthru? Or any other steel eGo batt for that matter? I am quickly convincing myself that I need both! Just wondering if anybody had both of these and would be able to post a pic? The passthru is...

    Tobacco flavor vapers, need some opinions on FA flavors/Parliment, steeping, etc.

    LF has *alot* more tobacco flavors than I'm used to seeing with other vendors. I'm hoping I can find a good "analogue" (pun intended) for a Parliment ciggy. I tried some other vendors prefilled cartos and the flavor wasn't too bad, but I'd sure like to just make my own with LF stuff. Also had...

    Steel Riva SEs out of stock, did I flub my reading?

    Ty, I'm sorry if I didn't understand right off. When you said black and steel, did you mean the Black SEs that have the steel/chrome accents? I took it to mean that the black SEs AND the steel SEs would be coming in soon. Didn't want to be a pest, but would love to know for sure. Thanks...

    Is it safe to charge a KR808 PCC while it is charging a batt?

    I've not done this yet, wasn't sure if I'd mess something up. Normally I just charge the PCC fully (till the light goes out), the I use the PCC to charge the batts. if both could be done at the same time (I assume the charge time for the PCC is about the same as the batt itself) it would be handy.

    Lead time on multi-adapter stock 510 to 901 & 901 to 808?

    I feel so silly, have been obsessing with my "cart" for days over at LF, adding this, removing that, didn't even think that there could be a supplier section here until today. :unsure: I was going to ask about the Steel Riva 510 SE kits, but others have already received replies confirming...

    colored 510 atomizers: pics w' a cone?

    Sorry if it looks like I'm slamming the forum, just had a few questions, was going to try diff threads. If this is bad etiquette, please let me know. I see that atomizers come in colors, but does it really matter if you use the cone for the RIVA/eGO? Does the atty protrude at all? Does...

    eGO USB PT: will a 1A USB-AC adapter be enough?

    I've had other passthrus in the past, mostly KR808, which need a 2A USB connection in order to work. Since this eGO has a battery inside, does that obviate the need for a 2A power source? I kinda figured the USB was there to keep the battery charged, but you are mostly vaping off the battery...

    Want to go from 808 to either RIVA or eGO, just need a 510/808 adapter?

    Hello all, I've been giving this KR808 setup a try for a good 8 weeks now, the battery situation has finally bothered me enough to move forward with a Riva/eGo purchase. I realize that the eGo is exclusively 510 (tankomizers and the like may be different, I was just talking standard attys)...

    Somebody have a Tobacco recipe list? Looking for a good Parliment "Congress" DIY out there?

    I've picked up the e-juice calculator v13, has alot of great starter ideas for basic non-bac flavors. Does anybody have a list of good Tobacco-specific recipes? I've been picking thru the lists and finding a few I'd like to try, wasn't sure if there was an easier way? :)

    Making old cartos last - final stage: dripping a carto (batt end)

    Well, I'm starting to run out of "clean" cartos, and the budget is busted for at least another 2 weeks, so have to survive with the set of once-cleaned cartos that I have left. I've found that once the cartos have been used, they are VERY susceptable to burning, mainly because most top-fill...

    Riva 901 or Riva 501?

    Had a silly questions, regarding a Riva 901 vs Riva 501 purchase decision: I've read in a few places (LibertyFlights being the only one I can think of right now), states that the riva 510 and 901 cones are interchangeable, but the 901 cone is a little shorter to allow easier use of 808...

    Reusing visene bottle for on-the-go dripping?

    EDIT: I'm very sorry, but I think this post is in the wrong area. Not technically DIY related. Admins, please feel free to move to the appropriate area, with my apologies. Hope I didn't make anybody laugh with that title. Has anybody reused these bottles themselves? Assuming they are rinsed...

    Opinions on charging: is topping off partially discharged batts a problem?

    Morning all, had a question regarding my KR808 batts. I have 4 batts in constant rotation, usually carrying 2 with me and 2 more at my desk. I've got a PCC which seems to shut off once proper charge has been achieved, my 901/808 "dongle" chargers do not turn the end-LED off when they batts...

    901/KR808 thread on an eGO? That's not a V-GO?

    Sorry if this post sounds newbie-ish. I've been looking for an "eGo" type of battery that will take KR808 cartos and a 901 atty with no adapter. I've seen a V-GO with this, and a Riva as well, but I wasn't sure if it was just a submodel (since I've looked and seen 510 variations of the same)...

    Opinions requested: looking at a bulk kr808 battery purchase, want "good" batts

    Looking to make a big 808 battery purchase, at least 4 regular size (280mAh) and another 4 extended (380mAh) batts, possibly more. Want to get a mix of auto and manual if I can, though some vendors (heaven gifts mainly) only seem to stock manual 808 batts. Requesting opinions on vendors, what...

    KR808 batteries: the end-light does not shut off when it should be "fully charged"

    Just a quick question about a pair of batts I got for "free" as part of a referral (v2 cigs). My first two batts from this company charge for about 4-5 hrs, then the light goes off, charger light changes from red to green, telling me things are done. These two new batts give no indication at...
