a question about the eGo

[frnkj74]

I'm looking into buying my 2nd pv & I'm concidering the Joye eGo, would that be a good choice? I want somethng that has excellent battery life & excellent vapor production & is dripper friendly & I was just wondering if the Joye eGo was that, or is there another pv like the T-rex that's similar, not really sure here, which one is better in your opinion & why?

I'd go for the Riva. Longer battery life than the ego, 100% compatible, and cheaper. The Helo 016 is another option with longer battery life, but it is not compatible with ego/riva cones.

I don't know which one is better but the Joye Ego is an excellent choice. Plenty battery life and great vapor production. It is also dripper friendly with a good ol' delrin drip tip. (Sold separately of course)

Biffrocko recommends Riva. Basically the same as Ego, but with slightly larger capacity batteries. I have both Ego and Riva. Don't notice any difference in battery life. I recharge both once a day. I had some probs with the Riva attys tho. Both Riva attys were too light and airy. Coulda just been mine tho. I replaced them with Joye 510 attys and they are just fine now.

That depends - from just reading post from others it seems Riva owners love the riva which has a soft button instead of the hard one one the ego and the riva tends to be cheaper. That said it seems that the Riva has more duds that give out in the first 2 weeks then the ego. It seems unless you get one of these duds - they last. So, if you buy from a dealer with a guarantee for at least a month and you don't mind waiting for a replacement if you get one of the duds...
Also if you want a blue red or green one you have to go with an ego.

I have had solid luck with the eGo. Kuska is right. The choice is yours but I leaned towards the original Joye product and I am happy I did. I do not have any experience w/the Riva but have read the same posts as kushka mentioned
