I don't think tanks like 100% VG - they like the thickness of 20-30% VG though I heard some thinner 50/50 juices with work.

Only thing decent I heard works with VG is dual coil cartomizer (according to one person) - no sure how he fills them since VG is so thick.

And if you buy a Riva I recommend you get a kit at Liberty-Flights.com (press the 20% off upper left to lower the prices shown). I know they have the correct manufacturer and model Riva 510 that has the higher voltage (3.7v). The kits have the higher voltage and the single Riva 510 SE batteries do. You'd have to ask them if any other single batteries are the new model.

And Riva may be shorter but it is fatter. There is no such thing as smaller AND lasts longer.

Heavy vaping last 4 to 6 hrs with the 580 which is what that picture is.

Yes, Rivas are shorter than 510 XL but cigar width. VG is usually thicker than PG but not always. Johnson Creek Red Oak is all VG but quite thin, probably mixed with distilled water. I vape 50-100% VG, but use carts, not cartos. Some folks like the harsher feel of PG, I smoother feel of VG. What clogs attys/cartos is juice specific. I don't use lr attys so can't help there.

Where dp ypu get your juices from? Do you drip then or use cartridges?

I don't drip and am too cheap to buy cartos, plus I figure maintenance for attys + carts is easier, 10 minutes a day. If you're getting a tank (I'm not convinced of yet), remember the atty for the tank is different than attys for carts and dripping. I still use carts with blue foam, last of the Mohicans! Some think folks like me dinosaurs. :laugh:

I've bought from Alien Vision (100% VG), Johnson Creek (100% VG), TastyVapor (up to 40% VG), FSUSA (customizable), and Dekang (50% - 100% selectable) from various vendors. Now, I mostly vape VG I buy in quantity from Dekang. Most juice vendors, seemingly hundreds, will offer VG mixes. You'll get lots of suggestions of VG juice that won't clog cartos.

Edit: re. your thread title, I'm not sure the "final" e-cig exists. We and technology evolve...
