Looking for a new PV to replace my Riva

[wyldelee]

Hi All,

I have almost 7 mo's off analogs now.

I have been successfully using a Riva with a drip tip and 510 atty and V4Life PCC, shorty batteries and carto's that I refill for when I go out.

I vape BWB caramel cappucino and Peach.

I have been using the same gear for 7 mo's and only replaced a few batteries along the way so I am now looking for something new befor I have to buy more batteries....... any suggestions? Anything new and great out there that is around the same size?
thanks,
Lee

The latest and greatest is supposedly the eGo tank system. I haven't tried them yet but lots of people rave about it. You could also get into a mod if that interests you.

Yes, try the tank. For about $20 you can get a tank and a set of 5 carts. Much improved over the standard eGo. I got mine from Liberty-flights but they may be temporarily out of stock since they're so popular.

Even cheaper, just try a LR atomizer. Much more vapor. But the eGo tank with a normal resistance atomizer has even more vapor !

Totally wicked has the Lr tank atty's also. I love my riva and egos with tanks, but wanted to try something new so I just ordered a Buzz wanna try the vv

The tank sounds good. Does it work with my Riva batteries? should I just get the kit?
Is the LR atty comparable to a standard 510 LR atty?

Also what mod would you suggest trying that is around the same size as the Riva?

I had some Nhaler 306 atty's a few mo's ago that I used with my Riva to drip. I loved the taste but they died out on me.

thanks,
Lee

Why not treat yourself, since you've gone so far in quitting analogs, and upgrade to a mod? I would HIGHLY recommend the ProVari...or even the Provape-1. They have a link (provape) in the suppliers listing here on the forum. I tried the ego-T and was not happy with the total lack of flavor that I got with my juices, even the very strong flavored juices came through weak. Now, I heard that they are coming out with a LR version, that one "might" be better.

not a lot of mods as small as a riva,
get you something cheap like a madvapes box mod and try some low resistance attys to see if you like those.
Or grab a puresmoker icon which is about the same size as a 900mah ego.

The provape is a tad large for the battery it uses in my opinion.



heres I getcha showing a lr306 icon combo.

The difference between a 3.7 mod and a Riva with LR atomizers isn't all that much. I would recommend that you give either 5V vaping or variable volt a try. The Riva will always make a worthwhile backup.

There are several 5V devices out there that are pretty small, particularly box mods, and some of them are amazingly cheap, considering.

the tank is a bit finicky--and if you have been dripping you might be a tad disappointed. I find it to be in the same league as carts and cartomizers i have tried (but a bit less hassle and a cleaner taste and no burnt filler). I will be checking out the LR version soon enough but the bigger problem is the inconsistent flow to the atomizer--if it goes dry--burnt if it goes wet--leaks. After two weeks a lot of cracked tanks (ok i bite the damn mouthpiece and its my own fault) i am resorting to dripping into the tankimizer (ironic since i bought the tank to get away from dripping)

Yes, the eGo T atomizer should work with a Riva battery as should LR eGo atomizers.

As for leaking, yes. That is my biggest problem with the T. If I lay it flat when not using it, the problem seems to disappear.
But if I put it in my shirt pocket it may start to leak after a few hours. A very BAD leak, too. Like 1/2 ml.

It not only leaks onto the battery, but also into my mouth on occasion. I'm hoping I just got a bad one and that improvements
are on the way. But I put up with it because it is SO much better than a standard eGo, even an eGo with a LR atty.
