I am getting hardly any vapor and occasionally when I do get some which is not often its not like it should be. I have switched out the atomizers blown them out switched them around again. I have done carts and Boge cartomizers. Either I'm doing some thing wrong or this pv is not for me. I am sitting here vapping my Murphy Gas station e cig. Its producing more vapor. I'm thinking I better pick up another pack of cartomizers for it. I smoked more analogs the last 2 days than I have in weeks. Does this sound normal? I have done everything like I was suppose to. I charged my new batts like the directions said. I have tried both batteries. I had a few good hours out of it the first day and was so happy and its been not good at all since then. I like the good vapor and throat hit I get from gas station ones better. The riva was suppose to be better. Can any one help or give me some ideas to try.
2nd day with Riva 510 getting very frustrated

No, it really doesn't sound normal.
What kind of juice are you using? How many mg of nic in the juice? You should be getting 7+ hours of good vaping on one battery. Are you filling up your cartos all the way? Is your juice all VG? That'll give you lots of vapor but not much TH

Either your carts aren't wicking enough or they could be flooding your atomizer. If you're getting a burnt taste, they aren't wicking enough. If you hear a gurgling sound, then they're flooding the atty.
As far as the cartos go, you need to make sure that you're filling them with enough liquid and then letting them sit for at least 15 minutes before using them. What's the PG/VG mix of the juices you've tried? That can be a big factor, too.
Vaping has a learning curve, so just stick with it and don't give up! You'll get it with some more experience!

Hi shelli,
I understand if you have difficulties with atties & cartridges, they are much hassles. I suggest you use cartomizers with your riva, you can see how to fill them in here http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...do-tutorial-filling-boge-510-cartomizers.html. If you have any question, please post it here.

Another thing you can do is clean the threads of the cartomizers/atomizers and the battery well and threads. It doesn't take much liquid or 'gunk' to affect the connection. The charger also can get dirty and needs to be cleaned too.
hhhmmmm.... just a hunch..... what kinda cartomizers are you trying?..... look down in the connection end of the riva.... see the round gigee where the carto would make contact with the inside of the battery?..... unbend a paper clip and "lift" that part "up" from around the edges.... get it up a little on all "sides" and screw the carto back in and try again. ( I dont deal with atomizers so please try this with a carto)
Im vaping the crap outa my riva right now, with loads of vapor (my roughstack battery is on the charger)
Have you cleaned the threads in the battery portion? I'm new to this, but I watched a video, and if the battery portion has a little gunk on it, it won't make a good electrical connection. If other atomizers, and even cartomizers aren't helping, it seems like the issue is on the battery end of this equation.

I second demon72's suggestion about trying to "lift" up the connection ends of both the battery and the atomizer. Yes, you can do this on an atomizer too. It's all about making sure they are making a good connection to each other.

Well I tinkered, cleaned, blew out, got some new juice and messed with it and it seems to be working now. Not sure what actually did the trick. Thanks for all the tips and advice!
Just make sure you put enough juice in the cartomizer. About 30 drops. If your using high VG juice, let it sit before using it because VG is very thick and it takes awhile to completely saturate the carto.
