Every battery is trying to kill the atty, every atty is trying to kill the battery, eventually one will succeed! :)
Many people are complaining that the 1.5ohm Ciscos are killing their eGo batts. It's actually the electronic circuits that are failing (mosfets I believe). I have read that the 2.0ohm and higher are not as hard on the circuitry.

ok thanks for the info cause was gonna order some too but the vendors said not to use with ego under the description. But thanks for your info.

The std atty that the eGo comes with from Janty meters at 2.2Ohm. If I was going to use an LR on the eGo batt, I would go with the 2 vice the 1.5

That is correct!

Yes, you are correct, it is the mosfet circuitry that usually fails. 2.0's on the eGo is the way to go, if I wasn't vaping on a Cisco 306LR 1.5 ohm with my Prodigy V3:vapor::vapor:

One of the tricks I have learned using the 1.5 on the Ego is not to chain vape with it, getting the Atty/Batt connector to hot is what blows the Mosfet connection, take a couple vapes and let cool, everything will be fine,,,,, sooner o later of course one or the other will go, there only Batts (right) but keep that connection cool and your good to go, chain vape it and get it super hot and you gonna blow it up. The 2ohm is my fav Atty of them all and it is very good on the Ego/Riva Batts, especially the bigger 900-1100 Batts

I too have been struggling with the proper purchase..
Looking at Smok Tech 2.0 ohm 510 Cartomizers
but MV states Not recommended for 5 volt use or for eGo, 510, 808 or other mosfet driven batteries.

So it's ok to use on my ego or not? I is confused.
I'm having the same prob deciding what ce2 to get for my Ego batt too.
why dose this elude me so????? ( no ce2 not in stock yet)

I use 2.0 ohm cartos (boge 510) the vendor I got them from said not to use them on a regular 510, only to use on 350mah or higher, they work great on my ego, doesn't even seem to affect the battery life.also picked up 2.6-2.8 ce2's and they work great (after slight mod removing the third o'ring).

I just received in the mail today, a pair of Riva 510 SE batts. I have been using the LR TW tank atties at 1.7ohm's. These batts are supposedly true 3.7 volts right off the charger that then fall to 3.2 volts as it discharges. The standard ego batt's are supposedly really 3.2volts. I just charged up my first Riva, and it is hitting good! It's slightly warmer vapor, slightly better TH and slightly better taste. I'm using a 50/50 PG/VG blend with the VG thinned by 15% with water for better viscosity with the tank system and am getting ton's of vapor. So far so good! The Riva SE's are also rated at 750 mAh as opposed to 650mAh, which means they should last longer between charges. I am curious though why the Riva SE's are true 3.7 volt batts and why the ego's supposedly aren't. Also does anyone see any disadvantages with this setup? What are the drawbacks I am wondering.

Because the Riva does not incorporate PWM technology to deliver the current to the atty, as the battery depletes through use the voltage also goes down until the low voltage cut off. Although it is toted as a "true" 3.7V battery, as you observed under load it delivers 3.2V

OTOH the eGo with PWM will deliver the same current throughout the battery charge to the atty, and each vape will be consistent until the batt dies off, unlike the "true" 3.7V batts that taper off during the charged cycle.

I was under the impression that the Riva SE's would start out at 3.7, then gradually decrease to 3.2, then go off the cliff. I haven't had them long enough to say for sure or not. I know my screwdriver batts taper off until I can hardly get any vapor from them, and I wouldn't be surprised if the SE's do this as well. I honestly don't mind that if they do. After a day of use though they do seem to last longer than my 650's. My 650's worked great for the first two weeks I had them but now they do some weird things every now and then. Sometimes they last for hours on a full charge, and sometimes they only seem to work 15 minutes. I have also had them flash like they were dead, quit working and yet come to a full charge only minutes after putting them back on the charger. I have a feeling that since I am using the LR atties, these batts are going to be a little less prone to acting up, only because they are simpler devices without any particularly complex circuitry. Still though I always carry a 1000mAh ego t batt with me in my case as I know it will last me all day long. I just hate how much of a monstrosity my ecig becomes with this thing. I feel like I'm toting around a magic wand or something when I'm using it, I mean it's ridiculous! It makes me feel like I'm Harry Potter or something.

EDIT: Thanks for the explanation, It's good to know the pros and cons of things.
