just to clear things up

ok so i have been vaping for about 2-3 months and have the fallowing models , smoke51, and volcano. i have been doing some research and am interested in getting a model like the ego. however there are so many floating around that i have no idea witch to get. i know of the inferno,ego,t-rex,rivea,tornado,lux,and probably about 2 or 3 more ive seen floating around. witch one of these is the best deal,were do i get it, and why is it better than the others.

If Liberty Flights happens to get more Riva 510's in stock, those are going for $30 with their $20% off coupon. It's similar to an Ego but with a slightly higher rated battery (750mah vs. 650). It's my first true PV and have had it for a couple weeks now, and I love the thing.

If you can wait a couple weeks for Liberty Flights to get the Rivas in stock I would also recommend it.

 

[pchestnutjr]

is there any reason that they are better than the ego/lux/trex/blah blah blah

 

[charmed412]

With the exception of the battery, they aren't better. They are basically the same. It's just a great price. It's on my Christmas list. Ya hear me Santa?

The Riva is less expensive and lasts longer than the standard eGo. We have 4 Riva batts and 2 eGo 900mah batts. All of them are awesome, but the Riva is what got us started.

I believe they are all from the same place with different batts or other accy Truman in China if I am right let me know.

 

[pchestnutjr]

what about the lux or inferno. i like the stying but its to be payed for

 

[markmcs]

As all above have said, they are the same except for the batt. Riva510 batt is 750mah vs ego 650mah. I don't have an eGo but I am told the button on my Riva is preferred over the eGo button. I own 2 from Liberty Flights and if you can wait for them to restock, it's the best deal out there IMO.

also what is this coupon you speak of

I can vouch for the Riva, I have one kit, and plan on picking up another one when Liberty Flights has them back in stock. I have a feeling they won't STAY in stock long...

i am indeed an idiot i see the coupon now. and made an account so that when they come in i can be notified. i wonder how long it will take for them to get them back instock

Probably not! When I ordered my last Riva, they had about 240 kits...a week later they were all gone.

 

[pchestnutjr]

well they should email me when they come back in....i hope

You can also keep an eye on their forum here on ECF - you'll likely see them (or someone) post they have more in stock.

The model I use is an eGo and the box it came in is marked as "The eGo."

I do not know specifically a Joye eGo or a Riva, but I read that Riva has a gold band around the center which is what mine has, so it may be a Riva eGo. Also the battery is rated as 750mah which may also indicate that it is a Riva eGo.

But, in any case, it works great and I am very happy with it.

Yeah, it sounds like you have a Riva510, not an eGo. Gold band, blue light and 750mah make it a Riva made by Hello Group.

I have 2 Rivas and one came with an eGo manual the other came with a Hello-Riva manual....exact same units! The "eGo" and rebranded models are made by joyetech and the "Riva510" and rebrands like it are made by the Hello group. I guess these companies aren't too worried about packaging, but the parts are interchangeable and they both make a GREAT vape!
