Fine, subtract $10 from Liberty Flight for the extra attie, then add another $20 for the PCC. Then add S&H, cuz Vapor-Pure ships free.

Lodzin, I don't really understand your math. Why should I add $20 for the PCC? PCC has nothing to do with the Riva kit. PCC works with stock 510 batteries; why should I add it to the price of the kit?

LF shipping is $2.99 and they offer an unheard of 2-month warranty on their hardware. What is the warranty offered by Green Electronic Cigarettes? Do you know? I haven't seen it anywhere on the site, which usually is a bad sign.

I do not wish to argue with you, I have nothing against GEC, I'm sure they are a fine company. I'm just stating facts.

I only own the ego, but I understand the cone on the Riva is a slip fit as opposed to the Ego which threads on. It seems the threaded cone on the Ego would be more secure and it Does do a good job of containing any leakage in case of an overfill or if you drip straight into the atty (which I do most of the time). Not sure if the Riva cone would be as close to "leak proof" or if it depends on an oring or something similar to hold it on which might be prone to wearing out. Also the button on the Riva is rubber vs hard plastic&lighted on the Ego (just a personal preference thing).

EGo and Riva are almost identical. The cones are all threaded and fully interchangeable. The only difference between the eGo and Riva batteries is the button: Riva's button is rubberized and sealed a little better than the plastic, often wobbly button of the eGo. Other than that, they are the same. I own both, use both, and like both.

BTW... The Ego and Riva battery's are identical as far as both being 650 mah's. The Riva's recored test data was performed differently than the Ego which is why you hear 650 vs 750 mah. They are the same.

I concur. "Creative math." The 650 mAh eGo lasts exactly as long as the '750' mAh Riva. The 900 mah eGo is larger and does indeed last several hours longer.
