button on the ego

[millhugz]

Is there any way to make it less shaky? The hole is a little bigger than the button so it wobbles around a little.. would be cool if GP came up with some sort of thin little ring that you could just drop in there and the button would be solid still..

Maybe its just me having some OCD with it, but I like perfection on my ecigs

Anyone else out there with this?

Does this affect performance at all, or just annoying to you? (have no experience with the eGo myself, but one is on its way)

The button is slightly loose, but it fires every time, I personally think it works fine for what it does, which is allow me to vape.

The button on the Ego should be ungraded in my opinion, I much prefer using my Riva Batt's over my Ego's because of this slop in the Ego button, the feel of the Riva unit is much nicer and the blue lighted button is a classy touch as well.

 

[Dysmay]

Im sure I'd like the rubber feel of the button better on the Riva, but the XL 900mah batteries added length just feels even better on the eGo IMHO.

I heard that there will be a bigger batt for the Riva soon. Not sure but I think I read 1300.

 

[mwa102464]

Right on Beebopnjazz Girl, EM will be coming out with a higher mAh Batt soon.!! I like the way you thinking

 

[millhugz]

I'm guessing RiVa does not have this wobbling issue?

 

[bpaulette]

Hmm. I love hearing this the day after ordering a new eGo kit, maybe I chose the wrong one...

 

[debb]

I really do love my Riva.....but I did get and ego...(classifieds) ..because they are interchangeable..so I thought what the heck...xtra batterys too...My Riva with my LR atty really rocks...

 

[bpaulette]

So you have both - is the Riva far and away better? Or is it a close call? Is the button the only real difference (besides slightly different mah rating?) Can you use the same charger for both?

 

[debb]

Haven't got the ego yet...on its way...but from all I've read ...it seems the button is the only difference...not sure about the charger...but the ego is coming with one...so I will know soon..

Old Janty eGo & DSE Ego (Black) = have the rubber button. Some people had issue with button sticking. I have both and have not had any issue.
The new Janty eGo button is a little wiggley (is that a word lol} but for me a none issue. The T Rex Ecig Combo Kit has a metal button that seems to be the best of all the ones I have.
Oh, I also have a Hello-16 with the rubber button. It worked great until it decided to die at a young age. I suspect some internal bugery happened. Oop's, sorry to go off topic.

Hmm. I love hearing this the day after ordering a new eGo kit, maybe I chose the wrong one... Oh well, hopefully it will still kick the ... of the KR808D-1's I'm using now

I think the ego is much better then kr808, I started with kr808s and just recently switched and I am very pleased. It works fine, the button is just a little shaky (for me) I'm hoping GP will have something different in the future such as automatic batts, or different buttons.

I've bought both the eGo and the Riva kits. Both are good, but if I was to start over, I would go with the Riva.

- I've had one of the eGo batteries develop the "stuck-on" problem. It was very new and Drew at Nhaler replaced it with a Riva since he was out of stock on the eGo batts. In retrospect, that was a good deal for me.
- The Riva batts are 750 mah vs. 650 for the eGo batts (I think that's right). (corrected)
- Performance is about the same, but the Riva last a bit longer for me.
- The Riva batts definitely have a better button design...less likely to go off in your kit or pocket.
- The Riva batts are generally cheaper than the eGo batts despite the fact they are more powerful.
- After 4 months of use, all four of my batts (1 eGo and 3 Rivas) are all working fine, but I would opt for Riva's in the future as replacements.
- I understand that Joye has now come out with a 1000 mah (or larger?) eGo batt, but I haven't used it. But I also understand that Riva is coming out with a larger mah battery soon, so would wait for that.

BOTH ARE AWESOME SET-UPS FOR A 3.7 DEVICE.
I recently moved to using "Low Res Cartomizers" (both 1.7 ohm and 2.5 ohm) instead of cartridges and atomizers and love the performance.
Slightly less battery life with the eGo batt, but nothing noticeable.

Hope this helps.

PS: If you get either the eGo or the Riva, I recommend upgrading your "USB to A/C" adapter from the stock .5 amp adapter that comes with the kits to a 2 amp adapter (I got mine from MadVapes). It really shortens the time it takes to recharge both the eGo and Riva batts.

 

[millhugz]

Well if the riva is 900mah then its larger than regular ego.. there is an ego maniac is 900mah too..

 

[Dysmay]

The stock Riva comes with a 750mah battery, well two of them.

Just got my eGo kit. Gotta say, I frickin LOVE it so far.

I do see what you mean about the button, although the wiggly-ness of it doesn't bother me. The FEEL of it is kinda bleh though. Very hard plastic, with an indent in the center, so it just feels, I dunno, kinda cheap - but the rest of the unit is so solid, it makes up for it.

This is my first time experimenting with dripping, and really anything other than a 2-piece design. Must say, being able to just drip in a few drops, vape for a bit, then blow it out and try a new flavor (without having to fill a whole cartomizer), is freaing AWESOME. Yeah, probably a "well duh" to most people, but pretty sweet to me. Will be making my way through sampling 9 of the VG's today

Got mine today too...But I haven't tried it yet...Glad you like it...
