So, I could've sworn I've seen multiple people mention that ALL Rivas from Liberty Flights are now true 3.7v devices (Come off the charger at 4.1 and slowly goes down to the cutoff about 3.3v)

It used to be only the special edition riva was like this... but like I said multiple people have said that all rivas are now..

So, I placed an order for a Riva Lite bundle, thinking I could save $5 bones..

Now someone is telling me it still is ONLY the special edition which is a true 3.7v device... i sent an email to liberty flights, but nobody has responded yet.

If anyone knows the real answer to this, please help me... want to change my order before it ships if possible.

I'm a bit confused then.... If they come off the charger at 3.7v, that would mean like 3.2-3.4 under load? A true 3.7v device should come off the charger at 4.1v i thought? If it's testing at 3.7v right off the charger without any load then i think it would mean that it's the same as the ego.. tests at 3.7 but under load 3.2-3.3?

Sorry I'm really new, only been vaping a week, but definitely wanted something that will deliver ABOVE 3.2-3.3v under load.

I have measure some of them and they come off the charger at 4-4.2v and then with load would be lower:)
Much better experience, IMHO Now I remember why I don't post much.... I have a volt meter:)

A month or more I sent a PM to "salt" and he said all the 750mAh Riva batts come off at a true 3.7v. The larger mAh come off at a lower "regular" voltage, comparable to the ego :vapor: The SE batts have a silver band the others have gold band, just cosmetic differences now:)
RIMP:evil:

Double Darn, I bought a couple Riva 1100mah kits so I'd get a good voltage from them under load and now the word is they are only 3.2-3.4? Ratso! I also bought some KGO 1100s from HoosierCig and he states that they come off the charger at 4.2 and stay at 3.7 under load for a long time.
