Hi, MickeyRat, just re-read you post and makes a bit more sense to me now that I actually hold a Riva in my hands. Yes, I did.
I bought 510s frpm LibertyFlights as it looks like they are the most popular cigs (sorry if I am wrong!) Now to you post - some of it puzzles me still! e.g. You mentioned eGo accessories - what are they?! What I they for? Do I need them?
If you're satisfied with what you have, stick with the 510 stuff. However, that Riva setup is compatible with eGo accessories as well. You could for instance, get some tank atomizers and tanks and convert it into an eGo-T. There are also eGo mega carts and a bunch of other stuff you don't need to worry about if you're satisfied with what you have. On the other hand, if you have the money and you're gadget happy. There are a lot of things to try with this setup.
You'll read a lot of threads on here about dripping. A drip tip is just a little open ended tip that sits where the cartridge does. To use it, you drip some juice down the tip directly on the atomizer. You get very nice hits and it's very consistent. You won't get dry hits etc. Drip take, a few hits, drip again. It takes a little practice to know how much to drip and when. It's not good for on the go but, sitting around watching TV, it's very nice. It's also good for sampling juice.
Everybody say that I need to replace atomizers - how often though? And how would I know that they need replacing?
Well you replace them when they quit working. Some people replace them when they start getting a kind of burned taste. Others clean them. They do eventually wear out though. How long they last depends on a lot of factors (juice, how you vape, etc.).
Then you mention Boge catomizers, LR (Low Resistance) atomizers or cartomizers - what do they do?
What is the DIFFERENCE between atomizers and catomizers?! Why there are so many of them?!
What came with your Riva kit is atomizers with cartridges. However, if you'd bought a different setup such as a KR808, you would have gotten cartomizers. A cartomizer is a one piece combination cartridge and atomizer. You can buy them prefilled but most people on here get blanks and fill them. They are supposed to be disposable but, most people on here refill them. They won't last as long as an atomizer but, they tend to be cheaper too. There is also some added convenience. You can fill a few of them and change them out during the day. That way you never have to open a juice bottle till you're ready. The Boge is a well made one and it has a soft removeable tip that makes them easy to refill. Boge makes cartomizers that fit on the 510.
I don't think I told you to get any LR stuff yet. However, you can get LR automizers and cartomizers. Let's say things are working for you but, you'd like more vapor or throat hit. Just a little more. The LR attys and carts burn hotter and produce more vapor. They also burn out faster and drain your battery faster but, if you're willing to pay that price for the difference in performance...
I was trying to give you a lot of things you could try for a small additional investment.
For now, find the right juice with the right nic level for you. Don't go wading off into LR and eGo attachments till you've done that. Then if you'd like something different, look at what's available. Ask on here.
Thank you for your post and hope my reply and my new questions are not too silly..
