I just recieved my new Riva 510 SE and am having trouble with filling the cartridges. I can fill the cartos just fine and they work but i can't get the atty to heat up the filler in the cart to start vaping that. I like cartos better but im not going to waste carts. I don't think i overfilled the thing and i know its not the atty ive already dripped on it and it works beautifully. Little help/advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hmmm, The concept leaves much to be desired but i'll fiddle with it some more and try to make it work. Also, Im thinking of pulling the filler outta my blu cartos and squeezing the juice outta them and drawing it up with a neddle and trying that. Anyone know if someone has done that or if that works?

On your Blu cartos, do a reverse tyrin spin to get the juice out. I cut a 10ml bottle top off and attach a string to it. Remove cap off carto, put carto in with top side down and sling it around in a circle... centrifugal force will work the juice into the bottle.

For the atomizer, listen to it when you fire it...do you hear any noise? If not, remove the atomizer and turn it upside down. Take a paperclip and make a hook, insert it a little into the post hole and gently pull the center post up a little just past the edge of the threads...now put it back on the battery and fire it...is it making noise now? If not, you need to meter it to see if it's dead.

I'm not familiar with the blu carts and don't know if they are different, but regular carts should have the filler even with the top of the cart. When full it should look slushy and not pool on top. When you insert the full cart the filler should come into contact with the element in the atty. The heating element should also have a couple drops of juice so it not dry. If you've done that, it should work. Keep us posted.

Is your blu cart a 510? That could be the reason it doesn't work. I know the Riva comes with a couple attys and you say they work if you drip them, so my guess would be the blu is not a 510.

Please sign this petition if you haven't done it yet. If you have, please tell your friends. We still need 480 signatures and only 10 days left. Deadline is the 27th of this month. We are asking the White House to consider e-cigs as an "effective alternative" to smoking and they will give us an official response if we can reach 5,000 signatures.

Thanks for your help and keeps us posted on how you fixed the cart problem................ Hig
