I have been looking for weeks for a cartomizer for my liberty flights Riva 510, where do i find one. I went to liberty flight and order the pink ones and when I attach it to my Riva 510 it just starts blinking, try two of them filled and they did not work. Also were can I get new syringes to fill them, I am sorta new to this, and the only websites I know are mad vapes and Liberty Flights.

Are you referring to the joye eGo cartomizer? When you said after you filled them it's not working, do you mean the batteries are not firing up the cartomizer? You said something was blinking after you screw it on your Riva 510 battery. Does your battery needs to be charge? How are you filling them? I used a 18 gauge blunt needle syringe for mines. It does take some time to get it in the hole though, but it does go in. I purchased mines at liberty flights.

You don't need a syringe unless you get reservoir types (more advanced). Just start with plain cartos.

try Boge soft-caps. With a Riva 510 you can use either standard or the hotter low resistance ones. And I used their clear plastic drip tips in cartos - not to drip since the jucie would aim for the air channel - just as a cool easy-to-remove mouthpiece
Here - the Boge and/or the low resistance Boge
Joye 510 cartridges

and here is a small badly stocked selection of prefilled 510 cartos - I don't know if these are softcaps - may be harder to refill
Xpress 510 Cartomizers

And here is a video that shows how to fill a soft-cap carto as well as how to straighten the center air channel if it gets crooked. This video is filling a soft-cap KR808D-1 carto - similar with different threading. A small unbent paper clip stuck in the mouth hole just enough to pop the mouthpiece out is all that is needed. I hold a tissue on the threaded end in case it leaks. I hold it at an angle like in the video but if the stuffing is tight I rotate the carto to drip into different spots. You should be able to fit about 18-24 drops into a 1ml carto depending on the size of your bottle's drops.

When done I clean up the threaded end. I also tilt the open end down into a tissue and puff into the threaded end to clear the air channel. Then I use a folded tip of tissue to clean up any loose juice pooled above the stuffing (else it will end up in your mouth or on the battery). Then cap. On a fresh fill of a dry blank, I then lay the carto on different sides over about 15 minutes to make sure every bit of stuffing has absorbed liquid (else you could singe the stuffing). I use 70pg/30vg juices - if you use thicker juices you may need to let it soak in longer. I do not use condom push methods to fill cartos.

pandatera,
No its charged just when I screw my cartomizer on and push the button to vape it starts blinking, and the carto want make any vaper, I think I ordered the wrong kind of carto for my riva. Yes I have a syringe and fill them myself, my brother has been doing this longer than me and showed me how so i know how to do that just don't know where to order this stuff at. I get my juice at Backwoods Brew, but I wasn't sure were to get the others.

I normally use the boge cartomizer, those do not need a syringe to fill. I just chked and right now Liberty flight dun have them in stock. They only have the boge 510 3.0ohm in stock not the 2.0.

Do you have a link to the carto you purchased? Did you say it was pink? The only pink carto I see at liberty flights is the ego cartomizer. If that the one you purchase you should be able to use it on your Riva 510.
