...and I'm screwed

[Animation-Imp]

Ok I've been looking over the stores,
kr808 bats and chargers seem rather hard to find.
Found a model on Electronic cigarettes UK –buy Electric cigarette or E-Cigarettes online but there's not much info on there.
Also found some volts and creator kr808 on iVapour Elixir | PG E-Liquid

Might be better to go for a 510 model,
Once again for the new page:

Why is the Riva praised so much.
Whats the difference with the eGo or the E-power?

Argh, what to choose, it's so damned hard.
Don't want to get in the same situation again...

By the way why is the Riva so highly praised?
I thought it was just a eGo rip off and the that the eGo was the superior device...

Anyone know if KR808-1D's (and cartomisers) are easy to find in europe

Can't speak for others. As for myself, the Riva provides higher voltage than the eGo. The eGo will provide 3.2-3.4 volts while the Riva will provide 3.7 volts. The higher voltage makes for a better TH and warmer vape which I prefer. The Riva is also less expensive than the eGo.

On the other hand, some people prefer the eGo because the eGo is regulated. It will provide 3.2-3.4 volts until the battery discharges. The Riva will start out strong but the performance diminishes after a few hours.

...the eGo is the original fatt batt model(6hr batts)...the Riva(cloned eGo) is an improved version...that is why it is praised so much...the E-Power is an Ego/Riva look alike and has non proprietary(cheaper to replace) drop in batts(like a flashlight)...the E-Power batts will last at least twice as long and will live 2r3r4 times longer before replacement needed...all of these are 510 threaded devices...probably the most common standard threading on the better PVs..........

Ok I'm in on the Riva 510,
Are the regular Riva's also 3.7v, or is that only the se.
Also do all riva models now have the 3 click on/off system, or only those on the american Liberty Flights site?

I'm going to use it with cartomisers, will the regular cone fit or should I buy the 901 cone?
And last but not least, should I buy a regular 510 charger (so I can pick up 1 or 2 510 bats for when I go out) or is it better to charge it with a eGo/Riva quick charger?

 

[madjack]

Rivas are Rivas...Rivas didn't come originally with the click on/off feature so if they advertise having that, they are new models...Liberty Flights does a huge business and their stock should turn over faster than some...NEVER charge a slimline 510 batt with an eGo or Riva charger, it will burn it up...the Riva cone will fit all regular sized cartos but not the clear or XL ones.............

I know, but vice versa,
can you charge a riva with a regular 510 charger?
How much longer does it take?

I guess the chargers aren't smart chargers? So no charging overnight as it would keep charging?

 

[madjack]

...you can charge a Riva on a slimline charger...I don't know if what the time diff would be...if the 510 charger is half the output, it would take twice as long...the Riva chargers and the Rivas themselves are smart BUT, overnight, unsupervised charging is not recommended, just because, ya never know...unfortunately, I do it way too often...I don't know about reg 510 chargers having any smarts but they well might...consider, if it takes 3r4 hrs to charge on a Riva charger, it will take 6r8 on a slim 510 version.........

Thanks madjack for all the info...
Liberty flights uk is out of stock on the se starter kits... Really like the steel finish.
Apart from the colour there's no difference between the SE and the regular edition right?

 

[Animation-Imp]

Ok Abe from libertyflights could set up a kit for me with steel se riva's...
Do I bite, or do I wait a couple of weeks and get the kit with the 3click on/of Riva se?
Any opinions?
I feel like I'm almost out of the woods...

Is your present gear going to last several more weeks? If not, go with what they have now. Otherwise, it's a coin flip. (I only ever used earlier Rivas, which didn't have an on/off as a possibility. It wasn't an issue for me, all depends on how you expect to carry them.)

 

[Animation-Imp]

I'de be more certain if I new the 3clicks system worked great and was an asset,
I'm in doubt because that 3 click system is one more thing that can go wrong...
Doesn't anyone here use Riva batteries with the on/off system in place?

 

[madjack]

...the 3 click Rivas are a new feature...look at it like this...if you don't like or are worried about it, don't use it...no one sez ya gotta............

...my Rivas don't have the 3click feature so obviously I don't use it...haven't seen any reason I would at this point...I carry mine in a shirt pocket(loose fitting) or in a little PV bag so, no danger of it accidentally firing...if you are gonna stick it in some tight jeans, ya might wait, if not, why bother.........
madjack

p.s. the 3click feature is a nice safety feature and might possibly be of use...I dunno, this is upto you.............mj

Not yet will middle of next week hopefully.

 

[Animation-Imp]

I decided to wait,
the reason I was in doubt was an account of someone here on ecf where the riva would shut down automatically after some puffs. Seems bloody annoying...

But I'm willing to try it, seems like an added safety, if it works properly...

That sucks! I have the same problem when ordering things from out of the country sometimes. Customs can be a pain!
