What your ordered is exactly as it supposed to be too..!!!! here is what I have suggested to many of the 901 Riva users and nobody seems to want to listen but it works and works well. take a black small oring, like one off of a dripping tip, they are the perfect size. put it over your threads so it seats down on the flat part at the bottom of the threads, then take your cone and screw it on snug so you feel it snug up to that oring, then screw your atty on, then a dripping tip, now no liquid will come out between your cone and the Batt and you can vape fine like this and some of that liquid, a lot of it will suck right back in that hole, I also suggest you use a 510 cone on it to because its a much better look and it also holds that liquid in much better. Lastly get yourself a 510 Riva or Ego and use those because there much better then the 901 version in my opinion, I also really like the 900mAh or the even newer 1000mAh 510 version, much stronger batt and you truly can vape a lot longer on these units and they handle the LR Attys better though the LR Atty still is over-stressing all Riva/Ego batts because it draws more amp's then a regular Atty. IMR Batteries should really be used on LR Attys they handle the LR Amp draw and are safe to use in this fashion.!!!!
