LF sells the trex. But it's the xl 90+mah. These 660's are doing me well all day. So I don't want that big one.

But I love their Riva prices. If you like the model their selling, I may just stick with what works, but I am honestly qurious if there is a big difference between knock offs and true Joye tech.

I'm gonna google eastmall an check it out. Unless you can send me a pic of it.

Liberty Flights sells the Eastmall Riva's, I gotten 4 750 mah kits from them without a problem. I also have a 1100 mah Eastmall Riva from another vendor. I have tried the Ego, I have 1 Ego kit but I wind up on My Rivas' because I like the button better. Eastmall is also a vendor here on ECF but if you order from them be advised they are from China they are mainly wholesale

I ordered some parts from them yesterday. I should have them in hand tomorrow. The website says they ship from California. ?or maybe your talking about the kits specifically?

Yeah. Specifically, Eastmall is in China. Most of our pvs are made in China. Unless, you get an American made mod.

LF ships from Cali and the UK. I have my LF stuff always within 3 days. Coast to Coast.

Are you saying tha shipping on the Riva takes longer? Or just mentioning that they are china built? I suppose I don't mind either way.

I just need to pit aside a few bucks and check in on them after I get back from vacation. I might decide to go with a bigger battery. Who knows. I would think that 660 should be enough. But I also thought I'd be fine with a reg 510 too. And now look at me. I'm drooling over Rivas and Egos and T-Rex sets.

Just mentioning they are made in China. The shipping is the same for me no matter what I order from LF. 3 days. I use 750 batteries and have an 1100 UNC battery. The UNC is just too big for me to carry out and around, so I use it more around the house. It does last all day though. The 1100 Trex is slim, about the same size in diameter as the Riva, just about an inch longer. I always felt like I needed to take three or four 750 batteries with me when going out because I use mostly LR stuff and they tend to drain the battery faster. We shall see how these Trexs last.

Do you know how big the Rex 900 batteries are? I would guess shorter than the 1000 but wonder how much bigger than my Riva.

I just can't get over the price of the Riva.

I have no idea how big the 900 mah are. You could always call Ty at LF and ask him though.

The Riva's are great. They got me off cigs. The Trex is basically the same, it just has a sleeker look to it. And the 1100 mah is smaller than the Riva UNC, that's for sure.
The Trex does come with two cones vs the Riva kit coming with just one. And the case it comes in makes it all worth the little extra to me. This thing hits a little different (better) than the Riva too. Better vapor and the feel of it is just..........lighter or something. I can't put my finger on just what the difference is in the feel.
