joye riva questions

[Dill67]

Hello everyone, I was wondering what cartomizers are best with the riva. Can the -2.5ohm work well I only ask because I still can't wrap my head around the volt and ohm compatibility relationship thingy.

Thanks for any info guys !

If it's the Riva 510 you have, I suggest the boge low resistance cartos, they're the best I've tried and hold plenty. Te Riva can definitely handle low resistance with it's 750 mAh capacity.

I'm going to throw out my suggestion for the LR 510 Mega cartos from IkenVape. It holds 55 drops and I've been vaping one all day with no change in flavor and tons of vapor!

That's good to hear, to know that lr cartos will be ok. So do you think it would it be a good choice to use the ce2 r4 xl's with the riva, because I like the concept of a cartomizer with no filler material, I will check out the ikenvape and boge ones but I've heard so much about the ce2's I want to see what the fuss is all about!

Careful on the CE-2's it is a mixed bag. Some like them others hate them. I am in the second group. For cartos I like the Boge LR 2.0 on a Riva/Ego. The only thing I have found any use for the CE-2's on is the Clouds of Vapor MAP tank. Others like the Stormy tank too. But remember this is just my opinion and others will chime in and say the CE-2's are nice. I have found them to be lacking in flavor and TH and a general PITA and I have tried many of them.

When using such a low resistance is there a problem with draining the battery faster and the pc getting warm ? appreciate the help BTW !

You will drain the batt faster than if yiou were using a 2.7 - 2.8 carto but man is it worth it. You would really need to chain vape to get the 2.0 carto REALLY hot. Prior to switching to MODs I ran Egos/Rivas with Ciso LR 1.5 306's and Boge LR 2.0's all day and never had an issue. For the record I vape about 10mls/day so that should give you some indication how hard they were diven. Those original eGo batts (4 650 mahs) are 6+ months old and still work as good as the day I put them into service.

You should be fine with 2.0 cartomizers, especially with the Riva. The CE2s are okay, but they don't work well with thicker juice and I found them to be inconsistent. So far, I really like the IKV cartos. I vaped the 808 for about 4 hours last night with no change in flavor and it only got mildly warm when I power vaped it.

Today I've been vaping the 510 with the same results, so as it stands right now both are winners!

I like the IKEN stuf too and it is really amazing the only reason why I pointed to the Boge LR here is that OP has Riva batts. Also IKEN is still prety much "no stock". I find I like the Iken stuff at around 4.1 to 4.4 volts and they seem a little "airy" at Riva voltages. They are acceptable on a true 3.7v MOD but I still prefer them above 4V.

I have the Riva and use the clear CE2's, XL's and Regulars. I personally love them. Yes they have issues with the clear tube cracking but it's really not that bad, for me any way. I really enjoy either the 2.8 - 3.0 ohm or the 3.0 - 3.2 ohm. The lower the ohm the warmer the vape. For me these two ohm ranges are perfect, not to hot and not to cool. If you like the really warm vape then I suggest either the 2.4 - 2.6 ohm and the 2.8 - 3.0 ohm personally. I have a few videos on these on youtube.
