Beginners guide to breaking your first Kit - 510 t rivo T

[chinbags]

Ok im kinda in need of help...got used to my clearo with 650mh battery and I actually stopped smoking analogues for the first time ever!
Anyway one of my batteries stopped working so I fiddled with the charger and long story short managed to wedge the thread onto the battery head and it completely disconnected from the charger so the charger is broken..... I can order a new battery charger or is now the time to order a different battery like a vv one?

I'm using a vision mini nova 2ml....can anyone recommend a good battery to go with it that's affordable and reliable...im determined to stay smoke free so if it has to be blucigs for a couple of days so be it...but any advice would be muchly appreciated....please.

I wanted to learn with what I have but I'm kina forced into the next phase...

In theory, any ego charger should work with your riva. I can't guarantee that because I have never used a riva but I'm sure someone else will be able to confirm it.

This means you can replace your charger now and continue to use your riva batteries. When you decide you want to upgrade to an ego twist or vision spinner, the charger will work for those too. What I'm trying to say is that you don't need to go to variable voltage right now, unless you want to. If you're happy with the way your riva batteries work with your nova, there's no hurry. If you want to VV, go for it. I don't think you'll regret it.

Thanks that makes a lot of sense...since one of my batteries is not working im going to replace it with a vv one. Also ordered another charging cable because thats what essentially screwed everything up...I might be able to repair but probably not worth it. The site carries vision spinners only so that will be my choice...it should snuggle up with my vision mini anyway right?

Thanks for the info..as long as these parts can work with each other I can keep going...!

Yes, Spinners will work just great with a vivi nova. If you haven't already ordered, you may want to add a spare clearomizer to go with that (for example another nova or, my personal current favourite to go with the spinner, an evod). Always good to have backups if you don't already have some.

Thanks. I actually ordered impulsively 1 x Kanger MT3s Rebuildable Clearomizer - Black..but um..I was kina expecting it to have the wick like the mini nova? Im not sure how to use it yet... rockb4 recommended it on the last page here because its a ct based website. They did deliver quickly so kudos to him.

If you know, I got the vision spinner today and Im charging it as we speak. The light have been changing from green to red but ive been reading thats normal for the 1300 mah one. Ive the 650mah one so Im wondering should I have the voltage set at a particular level when charging...at its max or lowest?

The mt3 should see you right. It does have wicks, like the nova, but they are at the bottom (and so is the atomizer). The advantage is that the wicks tend to work better because you're not fighting against gravity to get liquid to the coil. That means less tilting and fewer dry hits (in theory).

I have two 650 spinners and yes, my charger flashes green and back to red until it is fully charged. As far as I am aware, the volt dial will have no effect at all on charging, so you can leave it where you like. When I started with mine, I dialed them down to the lowest voltage, just so I would not be unpleasantly surprised when I screwed in an atomizer with a lower resistance than the previous one. I don't bother with that since I got used to checking.

Thanks. Its making sense now..still waiting on my battery to charge so looking forward to trying it all out including the mt3. Earlier in the thread vaporeyes posted a chart (http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9dkanCt0I1qc8949o2_1280.png) to show the relationship between ohms and voltage...so from what I gather, the stronger the ohm in your clearo, the stronger your voltage should be? What is the advantage of upping the ohms& wattage, stronger hit? More vapor? Or should I shut up and wait until its charged and fool around with it

I just dont want to mismatch and find myself back in a situation I thought I was in when I first started this thread

You're correct, higher ohms, higher voltage. There is a lot of fine discussion about the benefits of low ohm vaping vs. high voltage vaping. In terms of your spinner and mt3 combination, I expect it won't matter a whole lot. The main advantage of the spinner is that it will cope well with a variety of atomizers and allow you to get more or less the same kind of vape out of any of them.

By all means study the ohms chart. It will give you a good idea of kind range that you are looking at. However, you really don't need it to get going. Whatever resistance atomizer you have, just dial the volts down to 3.3, take a puff and and adjust upward. Keep adjusting upward to taste. The moment the flavour changes to become less pleasant, you've gone too high. Back it down a little and you're in a good place.

Im kina seeing that some juices are requiring a higher voltage even tho they are 1.8 ohm atts. I also got a few different juices, one being vanilla which I really dislike. Ive noticed the ry4 I got has traces of it too. It has now practically left a taste in both my tanks..I am going to clean my mt3 this evening. Im assuming hot water should suffice? Regarding the mini nova Ive been rubbing the wick with paper towel and rinsing the tank part...right?

 

[Leoleoleo]

I disassemble, rinse and soak all parts in hot water. You can leave it to dry overnight (easy option). If the taste persists (and some you may never get rid of) you can try a few things.

1. Dry burn the atomizer to clean off crud (look on youtube for the correct method)
2. Soak wicks and head in pure grain alcohol or high proof vodka
3. Replace the atomizer head with a new untainted one

Thanks again. So Im a few weeks in and Im getting used to it. Played with different juices and I think vaporgod is no.1 source for ejuice for now at least..every description they give is bang on correct. Tried three other companies and I wasnt very impressed.
Um..I really liked the vivi nova at the beginning but I feel like there is a lot of maintenance, cleaning wicks that starts to look darker and kina dirty. Plus, the other night out at a club, it came apart in my pocket..not where it was supposed to..I wedged it back together. Im leaning more towards a bottom coil clearo, I really like the mt3 I got..I find its easier and a more compact? Going to order an evod or mt3 today unless you think something else goes better with my spinner.

Thanks again for the help and advice

 

[Leoleoleo]

No problem chinbags. The Evod is my favourite clearo right now and it works (and looks) great on on ego battery. Like any polycarbonate tank, just like the nova, you can't use it with flavours that melt plastics so check before ordering especially citrus and cinnamon.

Woow..some flavours melt plastics? Um..is menthol ok?
One last question (Ive said that a thousand times) whats the difference between a kanger mt3 and a kanger evod - they are both bottom coil right?

 

[Leoleoleo]

The EVOD is smaller and a newer model with improvements over the older T3 design. I don't have an MT3 so I can't give you an accurate comparison.

Oh, and menthol... I have seen some people talking about menthol as a tank cracker but I'm not sure if I have ever seen this confirmed. What I do know is that I have a strong menthol here and no melting problems with it.

Cool, got it thanks. Oh yeah, strong menthol you say...have you tried arctic wolf from vaporgods? Holy .......!!!!!!!!

Hey guys, im new here as you probably figured. Like everyone else I tried to do some research to figure out whats the best starter ecig kit for me. I was looking for strong throat hit (Because I smoke and want to quit analogues) and Im really not too bothered how it looks. I ended up ordering the rivo t 510 from liberty flights. It arrived and the first dumb mistake i made was filling the cart that was in the e-cig - which was only acting as a plug...so it dripped out and went everywhere - beautiful.
After scratching my head i figured out the sealed carts were the ones to filled. Anyway i got it up and running but some hits were stronger than others and it felt inconsistent. I did enjoy it and was getting confident in it. However, the third day - Dumb mistake no.2, I thought the atomizers were clogged so I read that I should blow them and clean with hot water – well now they are totally ......ed. Theres no real draw from it, it feels blocked and slightly burny.

So heres my question, should I just start again with a new kit (any recommendations) or is there a way to remedy the effects of my inexperience

I started with a Riva 510 from liberty flights over a year ago, and I am still using it. I did switch to the clearomizers and it makes a world of difference. I just recently started making my own juice, all with the 2 same riva batteries . Keep it just switch to the clearomizers, you will be happy.

So cool, I'm new too and learning so much through others. Doesn't take long to get sucked right in! I'm on a desperate quest for a good menthol. Decided to try rawr eliquid and menthol drops...ordered today and I can't wait!

Yeah, you know I liked the size of the 510's but one just simply stopped working, the light comes on when i go to charge but it just wont work all when i connect a clearo or atty or anything. The other one I lost! so now Im just left with my 650 spinner, one kanger evod clearo and a pretty beat up and almost unsightly vision mini. I want to grab an extra battery and Im not a fan of all the maintenance of the vision mini so i might stick with the bottom coil clearo. But as said here, the draw from the mini was great. The tank on it has got gunky too.

Im thinking just a higher voltage battery and another clearo? What does people generally upgrade to? I guess a second charger should be kept at hand too. Actually now that I think of it, does anyone know of any good single vap kits that include a charger and is very affordable? like a battery,tank and charger?? Even if it is a low powered battery.

Menthol was my first desire but Im finding myself going back to what I thought were horrible vaps like ry4 and hazelnutty tobaccos, apple, vanilla etc. If you want strength - try arctic wolf from vaporgods but dont say I didnt warn you Im beginning to retreat to milder mints now.

 

[E_DeCastro]

i suggest Vamo and protanks (or what ever tank you like but I recommend protanks)
