I don't have the device, I'm just curious to which battery is in the device? If it is in fact a Li-ion maybe they should look for a different battery manufacturer that actually knows how their batteries work.
Also, as a "supplier associate" you should know exactly what I'm talking about. After all, this is an industry that would not be possible without these batteries.

You use it for 30 minutes , charge it for 8 hours, and you vape it.

You dont remove the battery from the casing, you dont use the battery with any other charger you use it simply with the charger that it comes with.

It is a relatively simple procedure. As for the way that this battery is asked to be initially charged,I will try get you some more information, thats not a problem.

Who manufactures this battery is excellent, and we'll not be going anywhere.

What kind of battery is in that thing? I thought most of the batteries in these e-cigs are Li-ion. Are you saying the Riva uses an inferior battery? It's a well known fact that Li-ions have no memory.
Here is a link to the history of Li-ion and how they work.
Is lithium-ion the ideal battery?

This doesn't have to do with memory. This has to do with the initial charge of the battery and "primer charging".

Opinions vary... even at the manufacturer level. But there are manufacturers who strongly believe that the first charge cycle for a Li-Ion battery should be performed in 2/3 steps. A primary charge, a partial deplete, followed by a re-absorption. There are domestic (US) "manufacturers" who even put this procedure directly into their cell conditioning pre-shipment process. Although it is usually part of a multi-cell equalization program.

It is dubious as to whether this actually helps anything or promotes either the battery capacity or longevity. But it should hurt nothing.

Your comment regarding "inferior battery" was caustic and unnecessary.

If it is in fact a Li-ion maybe they should look for a different battery manufacturer that actually knows how their batteries work.

This is also not at all an East Mall/EM-sources thing only; those kind of initial charge instructions have also appeared in the starter kits for probably the majority of Chinese ecigs of any kind, purchased anywhere. It's been commented on many times in many general and supplier sub-forums, as a curious and possibly or even probably unnecessary thing. But whatever it is it's historically been common across Chinese manufacturers, and across sources. (Maybe some suppliers address or dispense with such instructions if they themselves feel confident that they're not necessary; but if they're what the manufacturer's own warranty requires, many may find it more prudent to just cooperate).

And I still see at least some extent of initial charge instructions showing up for more mainstream Li-Ion devices as well -- fairly recently even in the manual from a new Verizon cell phone. Which isn't to say that myself I've come down on the side of thinking such procedures are necessary; again just to illustrate that it's far from limited to EM's manufacturer. As with many other things in life, maybe no one wants to be the first to go against 'time-honored' better-safe-than-sorry rituals. ;)

Li-ions need NO conditioning. It's as simple as that. There is little I know more about in life than this. But, believe what you will I guess. It's not like it will hurt the battery by "conditioning" it. As long as they are protected all is good.

And Scottbee, My inferior battery remark was meant as sarcasm because everyone and their dog knows that all e-cigs use the same battery tech. Well, close too it in any case. There are some Li-ions more advanced than others but they behave the same way.

I'm wondering: Does the Riva deliver, like Joye stuff, around 3.1v to the atty, or does it, like clones, deliver 3.7v? Because if the latter, I have to say, I am not really interested, being one of those people who don't like their 510s on 3.7.

In that case, though, one with native 901 threading might be interesting.

It's a 3.1V class battery.... tested.
