My new 510 Riva just arrived

[Pappy55]

The postman just arrived with my new Riva 510 from Liberty-Flights UK, a day late due to Royal Mail incompatance as they tried to deliever to a different address yesterday.. Not quite sure how they manage that as the address is on the damn label but meh..

All I can say is I love it!
I much prefer it to my 901 from the outset.
The manual battery system seems nicer IMO..

Vapeing 11mg cheesecake flavour atm and its making me hungry
I can't wait to get some cartomizers

Good choice with the Riva. Did you buy extra atties? The last two Riva Kits (from LF) had really weak atties that came with the kit. Swapped them out and vapor galore.

the atomerisers seem fine..

Just a pain having to top off the cartridges all the time..
After a while I get a hint of burnt taste, Im assumeing this is the que to refill?
cartridge filling does seem to wick poor

but i am happier with the 510

After payday I am definatly going to buy some cartomizers..

Get some blue foam to use in the carts. I think it may be called Marineland foam. It's used in fish filtering systems.

If you're tired of carts and your cartomizers haven't arrived yet, give direct dripping a try. A bit of a hassle without a drip tip, but still manageable. Just yank the filler out of the cart and put two to three drops directly onto the atomizer. Add another two to three when you start getting that burnt taste, and before long you'll know when to re-drip before you ever taste the burniness.

I love my Riva(s) too. Though I now have a Reo Mini, I use my Rivas every day to drip. They are hardy little PVs. and I've had good luck with them.

It's dirt-cheap. I got a two-foot by two-foot square of it at the local fish shop for $2.48 plus sales tax. That's enough to last for years and years.

I'm basically a cartomizer-type vaper, but the atty-cart combination is still useful for me. Some flavors are delicate and change for the worse if too oxidized. Those flavors I'll put in a fresh cart, then pitch the polyester after a day or so of vaping. Also, the atty-cart combination is great for trying out new flavors, since it's lots easier to clean an atty and pitch the polyester in a cart than it is to thoroughly clean a cartomizer.

I got the Riva 510-T for my first PV, and I'm loving it. Don't have to worry about a burnt taste, and if you do burn the foam piece, it's a lot easier to replace than a whole carto.
