Fully charged out of the box!

Looks good! Alot smaller than I expected (which is not a problem), I didnt own the "other similar battery" so I cant compare it in size..

at 5 hours of use so far and still going strong..

1 problem, after I took my last draw on my KR808 with a 510 LR atty, I put it on the Riva and it did not work, then I put it back on a 510 to check if the atty is working and it didnt work anymore!

This happened my first attempt to vape it.. It works good with the regular 510 atty, but since I am used to the LR atty and the 5 volt mimic, I am a little disappointed, (not in the performance) because I like the TH better with the LR atty..

Other than that, I will come back to edit this for a more decent description.

Most new PV's come with batteries,

and these batteries have a --
" factory charge "

I hope you read the instructions in the manual ---

how to set up and condition your battery -- " Charging Power Supply "

charge for 8 hours -- then vape 20 minutes,
then charge for 1 hour -etc etc --------

this is to condition the new batteries ---------

As I understand it, this is only necessary once to condition a new battery. Di will tell you for sure..


Yes, as I understand it, -- and from reading the manual, --

we do this only the first time we charge the batteries,
(they call it - power source)

and then after that it is 3 hours for each full charge.
