Battery life vs. cart life opinions please.....

[cc_racer]

Hello all! I just signed up today after doing research and reading posts all night long. I have been smoking analogs for 15 years. Time to quit....

Anyway after all that reading, I believe I have narrowed down my choices to two:

-kr808d-1 from V4L or cigeasy $49.95 kit (45 day warranty)

-Riva (eGo) from eastmall $39.99 kit (with 6 mo. warranty on atomizers and 3 mo. warranty on batteries)


Here are my thoughts:

I like the looks of the kr8 along with the ease of use.
I like the longer warranty and lower price of the Riva.
The Riva has longer battery life.
The kr8 has longer cart life.

I suppose my main question is, what is more of a pain in the .... to deal with, charging and changing batteries, or filling and changing cartridges/cartomizer?

Any opinions or insights anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated. I can hardly wait to make my order!

BTW, before I found this site I was going to buy the blu. Whew!

KR8 has longer cart life because it uses Cartomizers.

Riva (also Ego/Tornado) can use Cartomizers as well, negating the KR8's advantage.
Only difference is the Riva doesn't come with cartomziers by default, you have to get them seperately. They use 510 Cartomizers.

Well, I can carry liquid with me anywhere I go without much overhead but finding a place to stick a bunch of batts or worse, charge them, while out and about can mean the end of that trip.

I go for batt life every time.

Thanks for the opinions, and so quickly! I'll think about it for another couple of hours before I buy, thats probably as long as I can hold myself back, LOL.

Unless you order the Riva-901 from Eastmall, or the "Elegant Easy" from cigeasy. Those are Rivas that are threaded to use KR8 cartos.

Look on youtube at some of the reviews, there are lots out there and look at some by Grimm Green he's done lots on different mods.
