Looking at the 900mah over the 650mah. What benefits does the 900 have over the 650? Also, better to use the LR atty's on the 900 or would regular 3.0ohm work ok? Im going with a ego tank type system on this setup and want to make sure im getting the right equipment to start off with. I figured for an extra $10 I would go with the 900 just making sure though..........

thanks.............(again).

The 900mAh Riva battery will give you 2-3 more hours of vaping over the 650. The 3 ohm attys should work OK on either, but low resistance would work better. LR will give more and warmer vapor. Throat hit will also be increased and some flavor may be enhanced. As far as the tanks, some people have reported leaking through them and diminished flavor. OTOH some people seem to love them. I would also get a box of cartos just in case.

The definition of low resistance attys and cartos has changed over the past couple of years.
2.0 ohms used to be "LR". Now it's around 1.5 ohms. 1.7ohm single or dual coil cartos would be the heaviest load I would try on a Riva. Anything over 2 ohms might not hit hard enough. 3 ohm for a 3.7 volt mod is pretty much a thing of the past.
I got one of the 6.5ml plastic tanks and 1.7 ohm cartos for the wife, she likes :)


I agree that the 900mah is the way to go. Seems to have fewer problems than either the 650 or 1000mah models.
