So last night both of my Riva 510 batteries completely stopped working :(. I live near ivape.net brick and mortar store, but from their site it looks like they don't carry the Riva. I would definitely like to get something today. I was wondering what I can get that they do carry that will be equal or better than the Riva. I guess I will probably just get a whole new starter kit

Thanks in advance!

Rivas are good batteries, generally speaking. I own and use them all the time.

How old were your batteries? Were they still under warranty? Where did you get them? And how did they die? If they both died prematurely and at the same time, I suspect a faulty atomizer that killed them both. You could check your atty with a multimeter... Anyway, I would first contact your vendor and ask for advice.

I'm not familiar with ivape, but I checked their website and noticed that they don't carry any Rivas. The eGos they carry are not the Joye eGo batteries; their eGos ar made by SLB. I'm sure they are just fine and if you need to get a replacement right away, I would probably get this kit:

DSE Ego (Black) | Starter Kits | iVAPE

However, you don't need to buy a whole new kit if you don't want to--just grab a couple of their eGo batteries; you can charge them with your Riva charger and your cartos and atties will work just fine on them, too. It looks like they only carry eGo-T spare batteries, but that's fine. Those are the original Joye eGos:

Oh, and if your atomizer indeed killed your Rivas--DO NOT USE IT ON YOUR NEW eGo BATTERIES!!!!! It will kill them too!!!!

Good luck.
