Ego, Riva, or other?

[Dwindacatcher]

Read quite a bit on these and I am still on the fence. Between the ego and riva I think I'm leaning towards the riva for cost reasons as well as the button. I definitly don't want to go near the ego tank system until it gets much improved. And if riva, se or not? Or is there another cost effective peice (really dont want to go over $50 after shipping, but can go up to ego price) that you'd recommend over both? I'm basically looking for a pv that I can drip with at home, but uses carts, and has battery life that last me my day. I go through 2 standard 801 batteries on work days. Thanks for any help.

I have tried the Riva and the Ego and I really haven't found any difference between them so when I needed a second kit I bought another Riva. I drip and it works well for that. The batt lasts me about 6 - 8 hours but I am a constant vaper. I tried the Ego-T and it didn't work for me at all. Because I am such a heavy vaper I have now ordered a bottom feeder mod...still waiting on that.

I go for quality over price

I think the Riva is just as good and I hear the 1100 battery is better than the Ego. I would buy one with 1100 mah battery if I were you. That being said Liberty Flights has the Riva 750 kit for 34.00 with the 20% discount. Just be sure to click the discount at the top of page.
They also have Riva 750the Lite Bundle which has two complete setups for 29.00. I believe it is the same kit without the wall charger.

It will be hard to beat that price.

The cheapest I could find the 1100 kit was 59.00 at BreezEsmoke.

I experienced some button issues with two Riva 510's but they were replaced at no charge and the other 4 I have did not have any issues. I have some Ego's (650 & 900) but my preference is the Riva 510. The Riva 510 "light" bundle includes the wall charger. The SE would be my choice at at $34.39.

Thanks Oldjoe. What is the the difference between the two other than the 5.00.

The SE runs at 3.7V.

i have been using the Riva for two months and it still works as good today as it did when it was new. i am an all-day user, no analogs, and 5ml of fluid a day. For $30 at liberty flights, it's a bargain.

Thanks, that's what I thought.

I have the eGo regular atty, mega atty, and tank. But I chain vape at home and these batts are not keeping up with me So today, I ordered a Riva kit with 1100 mah batts (better price and long batt life and interchangeable with all my ego gadgets!)

Thanks for the replies everyone. Seems riva it is.

Does anyone know a stateside dealer that sells Riva 510 SE 1100 individual batteries?
