LR 510 Atty on my new Riva - a wee bit confused.

[axolotly]

Aside from the amazing price Liberty Flights was offering on the 510 Rivas, the biggest selling point for me was that it included a LR atty (my only other PV is a Joye 510 as I am still rather new to vaping).

So the details - I direct drip, and primarily use Halo juices. I have been chomping at the bit to try out a LR atty as I love a strong throat hit and was curious about possibly warmer vapor.

For some reason, direct dripping on the LR atty using my Riva, my vapor production is about half of what I am getting on my standard atty using the Joye 510. This was a huge shock to me, and I am wondering if this normal? I was under the impression that I would be getting much more vapor out of the LR atty. I've cleaned it twice using the highping method (finally got the primer taste out), and I have noticed a flavor improvement, but (again) a crazy drop in vapor production and drop in TH.

Any suggestions? Could I have gotten a bum LR atty, or is there something I am missing about LR direct dripping? Thanks for your help!

Bum LR atty. You can email them and try and get them to replace it. Eastmall replaced my defective Riva battery and threw in 2 attys for the inconvenience. Their email rep was sweet and more than satisfactory.

If I go crazy with my dripping i sometimes flood my atty and get very little vapor. how many drops u doin?
For my 510 LR i do about 3-4 drops. any more than that and i get a noticeable reduction in vapor production.

Yep, it was a bum atty that Liberty Flights replaced without question (awesome customer service). Riva + LR atty = WOW. I didn't think the difference would be as pronounced. Delicious waaaaaarm vapor with a ton more TH. Let's hope it doesn't damage my batteries too much.

I think that may be a myth. I have an LR atty that i keep in rotation and it hasnt messed up my Riva batts at all. Just dont use an LR atty on your regular 510 batt.

Told you its a huge difference. Supposed to simulate the high voltage experience. Now you see why high voltage is so popular. Me, personally, i think the LR attys (i got from Eastmall) are too harsh. I prefer standard atty and 5V source. Still using a PT for that cause i havent yet seen a high voltage mod that sang its siren song of purchase to me.

Also, i know the ohms can vary on LR attys. I must have gotten the lowest resistance they make. Man do they fire.

Glad youre liking them. My next purchase gonna be a 5pk LR cartos.

This Atty just keeps going and going. Been using nothing else since I got it. Definitely have to try the LR Cartos - the regular ones just don't do it for me.
