Low vapor production - Riva - Help!!

[Chris41279]

Ok, i've only had my Riva for a week or so now. From moment one though, i've had to try pretty hard to produce the kind of clouds i see others produce from the same PV. Im not sure what im doing wrong. Or maybe its just my Riva?

At first i was just refilling my cart's, then decided i wanted to drip. I only drip 1 or two drops at a shot and when the vapor gets even lower i drip again. Any idea's?

Im not using LR atty's. batteries are charged. No clue what to do.

standard atties don't put out a lot of vapor on the riva. Most reviews I've seen are using LR atties.

Nah, I get pretty good vapor from a normal atty with my Riva. But you will get more with a LR one.

But, I'd guess this might have as much to do with what juices you are vaping. Pure 100% PG juices just don't produce the vapor that ones with either a PG/VG mix or pure VG do. Check your juice and see if it's marked with it's VG ratio, either that or try another juice supplier.

Try starting out w/ 3-4 drops. 1-2 isn't enough. I have no problem producing vapor w/ a standard atty on my eGo, but then I tend to use VG juice. Also, check the batt connections. If it is dirty or wet it won't vape well. I always wipe down both connections when I swap batts.

Im not sure exactly what kind of juice im using but its from Eastmall. I think im going to have to get some VG/PG mix stuff.

I've found i may need to start mixing my own juice, which is a pain in the .... from what i hear. Does anyone have a link to a decent thread showing you precisely how to do the mixing stuff?

Also try and get some LR attys if you can.
As everyone said before me..
Check your battery and clean connection, if necessary.

Sounds like you are dripping ok..

Must be juice or atty or combination.

Some attys are weak even when new as opposed to the same type atty in the same bunch..

Also have 10 or more attys in stock and plenty of good juice. It isn't hard to DIY. You just have to have the right material to work with.

Check out Tastyvapor.us
They have what are called doublers that have no nic that you can add to unflavoded nic juice. to make it easy to mix..

Good luck....

DIY Is a pain at first... But once you settle on your recipe it's a breeze. I'll make about 50-60 ml when I mix and it takes me less than 5 minutes.
