I agree with you about LR attys on a Riva/Ego. They taste perfect:)

But the cost of going through a ton of LR attys is what made me decide to get a $100 mod and use regular attys on it. I saw posts from people that said they were getting a day of use with their LR attys and I didn't want to spend $7 every day or every few days on LR attys. Then some folks posted that they had their LR atty fry 4 Ego batteries in a row and that can get costly replacing your Ego batts. When those LR attys start to drop in ohms, they can fry the mosfet switch in the Egos/Rivas. When do they drop in ohms? When they are dieing. Some LR attys die quickly and work one minute and not work the next. But some die by fading away slowwwwwwly over hours or days. Those are the ones that their ohms have dropped and those can fry your eGo/Riva batteries.

The regular attys last me for months and taste like a Riva/eGo + LR atty combo if i set my voltage to 4.5 volt on my mod. If you start going through $7 LR attys constantly and $15 eGo batts every week, try a mod then. It probably works out to being cheaper in the long run!

Excellent points on the cost/short life of LR's not to mention the effect they can have on some PV's.

Learned from my past mistakes.

There is a difference between 3.2 (which is ego) + LR and 5.0 Carto however you can change that by getting 3.7 which is Riva + LR being that Riva is slightly higher voltage than ego.

Inferring that a LR atty on a Riva provides the same experience as any atty on a good variable volt PV such as the Darwin, ProVari or Infinity, is hard to fathom. How long have you been vaping, by the way?
