Difference in Elegant and 808 Riva?

[salemgold]

I was wondering if anyone knows the difference between these 2 models? I am looking at purchasing a few kits and both look the same to me.
Thanks.

Don't see much of a difference between them. Both use KR808D-1 cartomizers or 901 attys.

Thats what I thought. Thanks for the response.

They may look the same but the voltages on the Riva battery don't match up with what folks got on the Elegant.

In this thread (http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/joye-510/65055-battery-voltages-surprise.html), the eGo/Riva tests at 3.07.

In one of the Elegant review threads, the Elegant tested out between 3.7 and 4.0. Check on page 3 of http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...1915-cigeasy-s-kr8-elegant-ego-rest-us-3.html

Were I to take a guess at what the Elegant actually is, it appears to be a V-Go. You may want to check out this thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-e-smoking-discussion/105488-v-go.html#post1588118

From there, you can link to the China site selling V-Gos. You'll notice that they list the voltage at 3.7-4.2 which is closer in line with the tests performed by forum members.

the eGo and all the others like it are also advertised as 3.7V too... the key is whether they're tested under load...
the test on the elegant wasn't....
any of them will test at 3.7V-4.2V.....until you put them under load.. that's when they show...

I really would bet that all of them ego/tornado/riva/hello/ t-rex and elegant and v-go all end up testing in that 3.1V ish range when properly tested under load...

I don't know but I love my elegant!

I have them both and personally can't tell any difference. I do need a new charger though and am having trouble finding one. Any suggestions?
