Break the mold and get a 510>901 adapter and use 808 cartomizers like I do, because I think 510 cartos make my juice taste like rust. That is simple.

OR a MEGA-Cartomizer!! designed for the device, that hold 2ML of juice!!
Joye eGo MEGA Cartomizer (Empty) [Joye eGo MEGA Carto_BLK] - $3.75 : Digitalciggz :: Changing the way you smoke one volt at a time!

ALSO available from Cignot, Totally Wicked, and others, check your favorite vendor.

P.S. you need a 16ga blunt syringe to fill them. 1.99 at

I was looking at the Riva as my first pv. I'm wondering if they make cartomizers for The Riva? I'm not too sure about refilling my own at this point but I will learn if it's the only option. Thanks!
I understand you are not sure about refilling, but i don't feel you'll be able to enjoy it as much if you can't control what juice you are using. When you buy pre-filled, you don't have many options with flavors or strengths. :2c:

Do you think those big cartos are worth the price? They're more than double the price of a regular 510 carto. If people say they perform better then I might have to try them.

I got some yesterday. I do not have a full review ready yet, but they are HUGE. like a giant whistle tip.

The claim is that they hold a lot of juice. The ones I got were prefilled, 18mg Marl is the only choice, but my juice order is late (ordered on the 1st from a US supplier) so I said what the heck, and vaped one. The juice sucks, plus, SURE didn't feel like the 2.5ml claim.

Maybe because it is prefilled, but otherwise I vape like 6ml a day... lol (which I do about 3)

They look Stupid Big, like a giant cigar tip, but for convenience and swapping cartos may be worth it. I haven't seen the true benefit yet.

PLUS you need a syringe for refilling, and I see no way to clean them. just the tiny syringe hole to refill. I am not very impressed for the price.

Although they make great vapor and TH.

I'm beginning to think the cartomizers r the only way to go. I usually direct drip but since I've been using my Riva, I've noticed the vapor doesn't last anywhere near as long as with a reg. 510 battery. 2-3 puffs and it's gone. so I did order carto's with it but haven't used them yet, have to give it a try.
All 510 equipment will work on the Riva.

I really like the 510 cartos. I think they produce better flavor than the 510 attys. Not as good as a 901 atty but better than the 510s. I like them just a hair better than the kr808s. More vapor IMO. I started using them for driving and now I find myself using them throughout the day except when I want a 6 volt hit or two.

I agree, there are very few VG cartos, and most of the flavors I have tried have not been so great........better off going with a juice you like. I refill my cartos every morning and then use them throughout the day.

Ok so, I'm gonna say WOW!!!!!
The first pull from the carto, I was like "holy smokes batman" I thot it was awesome, what a TH, and my goodness the juice lasts forever, or so it seems.
Now with the cone off, I can hear the vapor being heated and rush up through the hole to my mouth. It seems also that it hits different with the cone off. Anyone else notice that at all?? Stronger??
Now, I don't have syringes to fill my carts, but I only have small bottles of liquids so I just turn the bottle upside down, flush with the hole and squeeze. Not messy at all, minimal waste, if any at all. I have been measuringwhat goes in, by how much was in the bottle before I squeezed. These things hold a good bit, really shocking almost 2ml. So, I guess I better order more liquid, or better yet Ill make some this wkend.....
