Atty Question

[Rar]

I purchased the Riva 510 Lite Bundle from Liberty Flights, which came with two attys of 2.2 ohm resistance. I need to order more attys and am considering purchasing a 5 pack of EM Riva 510 attys. The stated ohm resistance of these attys is 2.0. Are these considered low resistance attys and should I treat them as such? I am also ordering my first drip tip and two EM 510 batteries.

Since equipment is so expensive, I would appreciate some input on my pending order.

There is no well-defined point where something is LR to my knowledge. Many vendors don't even tell you the resistance.My belief is that they don't tell you the resistance to avoid complaints from people who don't know how to measure resistance properly. But that is another story.

I had been using 1.8 ohms, which is a big difference from the standard 2.4 ohm atty's I'd been using on my standard eGO. Much more vapor, and also shorter life, especially if you're not careful. They seem to have come down from 2.4 ohms to 2.2 ohms as a "standard" resistance. I think this is good, since there is more vapor this way.

I think 2.0 ohms would be on the boundry between standard and LR. I, personally, am planning to order the LR version for my next eGo T order, just because more vapor is nice, and I got about 3 weeks out of my 1.8 ohm LR atty's on the standard eG0 (non tank.). 2.0 ohms should last even longer, so this is acceptable.

In summary, I'd get the 2.0 ohms, but be aware you have to be more aware of never running the atty dry. When you START to get that slight burnt taste, add more juice as soon as you can. Actually 2.0 may be a good compromise between more vapor and atty life.

(Since the Riva is basically the same as an eGo everything said above about eGo's should apply.)

Thank you so much for replying, Billo. I appreciate and value your opinion. I am finishing my order now.

For anyone who likes a "mid res" atty I have been using atty's from Xtreme vaping. They have awesome vapor production and
they last forever. I get months of use out of each one while being a heavy vapor (the trick is to keep them wet). Out of the 20 or so I have bought only 2
so far came out of the package bad and Xtreme replaced them no questions asked.
