Em Riva question ... NEWBIE

[nozmoking]

OK, I got my EM Riva today. Being a linear thinker and having graduated to the Riva from an njoy (junk) I have a couple of questions I was hoping some of the vaping vets can answer:

I figured out I need to fill the atomizer cartridge with juice. I got it assembled right, charged the battery and took a hit. I was stunned ... what a wonderful amount of vapor. I will never need to go back to analogs.

I am concerned about how often I need to refill the cart, and how quickly they are supposed to burn out (how many times can you refill it?). And how do you clean the thing?

If there's an FAQ I'm missing here, I apologize in advance for not finding it.

I have an eGo which I believe is the same setup, different name. It's simple if the vapor
or taste starts to lessen, hit the cart with 3 - 4 more drops to top it off.
If it's a manual battery you could even drip a drop or two on the atty! --
Won't hurt it as the battery end is sealed.

If you get any off flavor, burnt taste, give the cart a good soaking AND a couple drops
on the atty, it's way too dry.

Thanks, Stosh! I would have never put juice on the atty -- too afraid to set the thing on fire! But that worked great.

You won't catch it on fire, that's called dripping and the only thing you could do is put to much directly on the atty causing it to flood, which could get a little messy but no harm done.

You'll know when the cart needs refilling, when the vapor and/or flavor seems to taper off, just top the cart off again. You'll get use to the feeling of how empty or full the cart is the more you use it, until then error on the side of topping off, a dry atty is one that isn't going to last very long and can develop that burnt taste that's hard if not impossible to get rid of.
