This is my first review so bare with me

Order placed and arrived 1 week later from China to Chicago which is very fast in my personal experience!

I didnt order the starter kit. I ordered a Battery, Cone and blank 510 cartoz just to give this thing a test run and decide if I should order extras.

I unboxed it and put it on the charger which turned green in less than a minute which means it was fully charged.

I took a last draw on my LR atty with my laser mod and switched it over to the RiVa. The LR atty did not work on my first attempt to vape the RiVa!

I put the atty back on laser mod, and it did not work anymore..

So, I took out a standard atty, and put it on the RiVa which worked fine. I was just dissapointed because I feel the LR gave me a better vape and I did not have a reserve since I just wanted to test it out (yes, skeptical about almost everything)..

So, I began vaping it to test the battery performance and to my suprise I did not need to recharge it until 24 hours after I began using it exclusivley!

Now, I did not chain vape but did use this thing as often as I would any pen style battery.

I am very impressed! The button on this lights up blue to let you know its working. It has not misfired once! Its a consistant vape every time.

It does not have a cut-off which I like because I can take multi draws sometimes.

Bottom line, for the price it is well worth giving it a try.

Battery Life 10/10 (8 Hours Heavy vaping - 10 Hours Moderate - 12 + Light!)

vaping like a standard 510 with regular atty I didnt test it, but it does feel like a 3.1 volt

Vapor production 9/10

Charging time 100 / 10! Less than an hour with rapid charger!

Overall, I rate this 9 out of 10 - 1 point less because I feel the voltage should be 3.7.

So would you suggest the Riva to a 510 user looking for better battery life, or would you steer them in another direction?

I would suggest it 100%!

Looks intresting. Pretty much like an ego clone battery?
How does the vapor compare to the Lazer at 3.7v?

And by the way, what was the price? You mentioned it being a pretty good deal so now I'm intrested.

Yes, it is very "similar" to the version it has been inspired by, but different in a couple ways from what I have seen in other posts. I have not owned an eGo to really compare.

There isnt really a huge difference in vapor compared to the laser mod using a standard atty. I noticed a slight difference when using my adapter and KR808 carto. But nothing big.. Battery life has to be my favorite feature about this thing. It is 750 mah, so it is about double the XL version of the KR808.

I started charging this when I first submitted the original post and its done already!

The batteries are only $18 and the whole kit is $60..
