Hey guys, I recently got a Riva 510 starter kit that came with a pack of Cartos, and these seem to have a harsher hit than I expected. I'm lookin into getting some more cartos. Which ones do you guys use and recommend?

You can pick up a box of cartos at Joogler and it comes with a free bottle of juice. Use the code ECF5OFF for $5 off your first order. It should work. On the regular 510 you need the standard resistance cartomizers, not low resistance.
Crystal Clear vaping has them for $20 for 15.
Most vendors carry the boge SR cartos.

Wow, they've got some great prices it looks like. Should I try the dual coils? Or do I need like a 950 or 1100 for those?
Being new to the Vape scene I have not yet tried cartos. I've been refilling my carts, but I'm not too happy with the inconsistency of the hits so I ordered I drip tip and LR atty for when I want that heavier TH and got the Tank system to try cover my consistency issue...
From what I understand the cartos are just pre-filled carts with an atty on right?

I run these on mods and not the eGo batteries. However, everything that I've read about them being used on eGo's has been fantastic. A little pricey but worth it IMO.

Carto's are cartomizers. Not all are pre-filled. You can purchase blanks/empty. They are combination of an atomizer and cartridge. The tank system you bought may not be your relief for your consistency issue. They can take alot of tinkering with and still don't compare in quality to a good cartomizer. The flavor/vapor/TH of a good carto will blow the t-tank system out of the water. Some people like them but I didn't. However, if they resolve your problems, then they are worth it.
Cartos is short for cartomizers, carts is short for cartridges. Carts work with attys (atomizers) for a three piece system and cartos have the atomizer (coil) built in for a two piece system. The problem with most cartos is singing of the blanket material which adds a charcoal taste and clogs the carto. They're usually inexpensive enough to be considered disposable and lots of folks like them.
For a cartomizer, Boge 2 ohm low resistance cartos will provide warmer vapor, higher throat hit. Personally I really liked the Boge 2 ohm on a Riva 510, but that's because I do like the warmth.
If you aren't seeking high warmth and vapor, go to a standard resistance (aka SR) cartomizer. I'd still suggest Boge -- solid product, consistent.
The various dual coil, and now triple coil, cartos tend towards low resistance, 1.5 ohms or so (two 3 ohm atomizer coils in parallel), though I know there are now some up in the 2 ohm + zone.
Lower total resistance = greater battery draw = at the very least shorter runtime between recharges, and increased potential for early failure (battery or electronics might not handle the higher amp draw so well, over time). Some people really like them, I have no particular opinion, since I've been happy with normal Boge products.

Try the standard resistance Boge 510 cartomizers. The Riva probably came with the low resistance 2.0 ones.
Boge cartos are the most popular cartos on 510-threaded devices. I used the standard resistance ones because they use charge up slower than the LR ones, I don't need the extra heat/hit of LR, and I move them between Riva and slim manual 510 (and slim batteries must use standard resistance). I get the best continued performance out of stuffing type cartos by using thin clear juices - no more than 20% VG and clear juices rather than ones that leave flavoring sediment that can clog a carto. I can get 1-2 weeks good use out of each Boge.

Thank I'll make sure to give these I go. I saw the at my supplier, but from what I knew at the time it didn't seem like my thing. I'll fork out some more and grab some next time I place an order.
Thanks guys, great suggestions. I think I may order a set of SR Boge and also get a few of the Mega Dual coil to try , I remember reading good things about that one before. Hopefully they will set me back on track. I kindve feel like I am wasting juice dripping into this carto, I just cant get the flavor going for it.
I'm really sorry! I didn't notice you said Riva, just the 510. You can use dual coil and LR cartos on your Riva as well as SR.
Love my mega dual coil cartos on my egos----even if on the XLs it looks like I am vaping a tree branch. These cartos are big, but last a mega long time.
Check the bargain bin at Madvapes and see if you think you can use those. I don't think the dc's will cause premature failure in a good battery, but they will indeed decrease time between charges and shorten the life span. People have had early failures with dc's but people also have early failures with regular cartos. QC isn't the strong point of our supply anymore.
I use these on ego batteries, and they work great. No complaints here...

cool, so far my Riva battery has been lasting me almost the whole day, so I wouldn't mind a cut in battery time for better performance. I ended up ordering 2 of the Mega Dual Coils from MadVapes and a set of SR Boge's. I think both will be better than these that came with the Riva though, lol.
I just want to point out that I think I figured out these cartos that came with the Riva. It seems like they get really hot fast, and I was used to using a Volt, where I could drag on it for a few seconds and get a good vape. With the Riva, if I just tap the button a few times, instead of holding it, the flavor is a lot better and it doesn't taste burnt. Now I dont think the wait on my new cartos will seem so long
I just got some of the e- go mega dual cartos and absolutely love them and I bet you will too!
Cool. Ive heard lots of good things about them. Im hoping they work for me. The 5ml capacity sounds awesome, I probably wouldn't have to refill all day!
Well, been experimenting with both the tanks and the LR Mega Dual Coil Cartos and up until now my conclusion is this.
The tank vapor is obviously not as warm, but I find that it provides a thinker vapor and better flavor on 50/50 juice, though a lot cooler.
However the cartos permorm better with a 70%, no VG, PG based juice. The tank produces very little vapor compared to the cartos. I have not tried a VG only based juice yet.
I can not make up my mind which one I like most. Both satisfy my needs, but I'd prefer just catering for one liquid feeding system.
