Ego vs 510

[berger]

Hi Kelly,
Ive had my Riva ego about 3 weeks now and once I went to CE2 cartos (made by royal smokers, minicig) it really came alive in a big way! about 3 times the vapor especially with PG/VG juice mixes. I love the XL cartos as they hold about 1.8 so I can go most a day won one battery and a full carto now.

The ego is a nice piece. The mega is compact for a 900 mah, but it vapes at less than 3.7 v. It CAN last all day, but has fairly rapid 'voltage drop' ...so it vapes best right after a change. The cone has some advantages, but is another thing to screw & unscrew. The button is probably the most annoying to me - and a reason I often avoid it. It is hard plastic with a recessed center, so in effect it's a hard plastic ring that leaves an impression on your finger - bad design if you ask me. Frankly, I switch off between hardware & voltages, but for the 3.7 v stuff I prefer a true 3.7 v that takes a good AA size 3.7 v battery, like an AW 14500 ...this truly lasts all day, with minimal voltage drop. Get one in aluminum and you have very light weight too. A spare batt here is easy to carry. (A good one is the Provape1 in aluminum) PS I hate the ego mega cartos - a mess to fill & requires a syringe. When reaching for my ego, I usually opt for a reg 510 mega batt (280mah) - does just as well & is much smaller & lighter ...without the annoying switch. (if you go out, just carry a spare) Problem is, if you use LR attys, you really need 450 mah or more (or you'll kill your batts). Egos do have 650mah for reg. & 900mah for mega batts.

Kelly, if you're busy with the election ...or should I say THE election, AND you are using the phrase, 'In God We Trust', I think I know where your politics are. Great, vote thinking of me and all across this land (with the possible exception of the coasts) who depend on you out there in Az.

The ENTIRE state? Have I been living under a rock? Brother, I need to venture out of Mesa once in a while to see what is happening around me! I certainly feel like the village idiot, but I pretty much was clueless about the state wide ban. Thanks for that info. I get all sorts of great help here, even when I have to admit to my complete ignorance on many things...LOL! Thanks DesertDweller.

Kelly, yes, smoking is banned in the entire state. I vape openly at the bar by my house in Tempe, but I've known everyone there for years. A couple of the employees have told me not to, despite the owners giving me permission. I have an acquaintance who used to do the enforcement for whatever agency checks up on bars after the smoking ban, and she said vaping is perfectly OK within the language of the ban. FWIW.

I mostly stealth vape at work, depending on if there are clients around. My employees are intrigued.

Cruisedoc...
Yep, it certainly is "THE" election and it isn't too difficult to know where my politics lie. The "In God We Trust" I put after every email, board post, snail mail...everything. I was so mad when the Post Office was ordered to take down posters because one person found them "offensive" and filed a complaint. The poster in question said "God Bless Our Troops." It is my one way to voice my anger over what happened...however it does say a whole lot about my beliefs in pretty much all things.

Thanks for all the info in your other post about all the different voltages in the different PV options. I have a Tornado and I think it is a 650mAh battery. Before I stopped analogs completely I could go all day easily on one charge, now I get 4 hours or maybe 5. Good thing I have an extra. I guess it is sort of "normal" to vape like a maniac right after you stop the analogs. I am starting to slow down some, well maybe...LOL! Anyway thanks all of you for the great info I always get on the boards here. Being a newbie is sort of tough but I think I am finally getting a grasp on things, especially the whole new language I have had to learn...LOL!!!

I know this is NOT the format but please vote Nov. 2nd. I believe it is an obligation we have to those who have given their lives to ensure us our voices are heard. We really need to make ALL our elected elitists hear each and every one of us loud and clear.
