Was it a Joye 510 or a knockoff?
I dont believe it is a generic, but it could be even though it was marketed as a Joye on the website.
I recommend Joye and manual batteries.
I have noticed the popularity of the manuals, and my daughter has had no problems with her manual cig though it was her charger that was faulty from out of the box.
I tried the manual however with Osteo and carpal tunnel I have numb fingertips and it is painful to press the switch.
I may be able to train myself to use the thumb on the button, I reckon I will have no choice at the end of the day because from what I can tell they just don't sell the autos in any models other than the 510, and I am seriously considering purchasing the Boge LEO, this is the reason I have delayed buying a replacement cig because I cant find anything I like with Auto battery option.
I recommend the PCC so you can recharge your batteries on the go.
PCC ?
At home and at work I use charging cables with 4-port 2amp USB to AC
adapter (I can charge 4 batteries of different ecigs at once on it)
The Leo kit I have chosen/considering comes with a USB Cable so I will be able to charge it on the computer
BTW - there is a Europe subforum here. When you get 5 posts/replies and wait about an hour you'll be able to post there.
Yes I read that on here, I will be joining the Aussie sub/forum as soon as I qualify

Hi. I'm also an Aussie. Yay us.
SShhsss not so loud, we are outnumbered by Americans here lol
Hi getpecked
lol. I haven't started vaping yet because my ego t starter kit arrives next week. I am really looking forward to starting. been smoking analogs for twenty years now with a couple of months here and there off them.
I hope you find the right kind of pv for you and hoping the same for myself.
Its amazing how much better the electronic ones after you use them there is actually no desire to revert to the nasty smelly analogues, I can pretty much guarantee that once you start you will be off and running and wont look back !
Thats been my experience with my first electronic cig and the one or two of the analogues Ive smoked have been disgusting and abhorrent to me, my daughter has had the same experience.
Good luck in your journey
Don't give up. plenty of choices out there. x
I wont be giving up on this I am fully comitted to finding what works for me

Sorry to hear about your bad luck. Have you tried trading with your daughter and using the manual battery?
Lol Hi, love your nickname
The Riva is basically a eGo. I recomend getting the 510 model, because you can drip with your 510 attys.
Well the 510 got me off to a good start, despite the limitations, it gave me the hint of possibility concerning quitting without the anticipated pain/craving
I have noticed the drip trip thingies but have to study how they work as yet, how to use them etc will definately be trying them, .
You may want to look into a eGo-T (Tank) atty for it instead of carts
Also what nicotine level did you get? If it's only 12mg, you may want to step it up to 18mg (or if youre using 18 try 24).
I purchased the 24 MG, figured I would start from the top and work my way down the scale over time
I have been using the flu cured tobacco flavor which wasnt too bad but not too good, I am really looking forward to using some nice juice in my cigs, so many lovely flavors !
Any questions you have, ask around and you should always get someone with some advice for you.
Welcome the forums!
Absolutely, I am here communicating with those who know what I need to know to succeed in my journey
Thanks for the welcome

....I like it best with a cartomizer (standard Boge soft-cap cartomizers for 510 because the Joye ones need a syringe). Nice drag with those cartos.
A carto should last about a week, maybe longer.

I'll second getting the 510 cartomizers -- good strong flavor. Just to clarify, a carto can be refilled and reused for a week or two: One pre-filled carto is not equal to one week of vaping. LOL
You can use the 510 cartomizers on a Riva510 (which is likely the version that you ordered).
I havent even looked at Cartomizers yet and still unfamiliar with their use and operation.
I am beginning to realise the potential of mix and match involved, the terminology is still a bit confusing to me, but I am getting there.
I will start off with the Bogue Leo kit and after using it for a week or so, then purchase all the bits and pieces, accessories available,
keeping the Joye 510 as an alternative option rather than investing in accessories specific to the model at this stage, depending on how the Leo works out.
I am hedging my bets here
