My riva should be here today!

[wazzup592]

I hope . On the fifth it left Europe for the us because I accisently ordered from the uk libertyflights instead of the us site. I ordered it last Sunday so I'm hoping that today is the big day! Anything I should remember when filling that first cargo or putting in my first drips into the Atty? Its 10 drips to wick the Atty the first time right

Hi, First blow thru the atty just to make sure there is no packing fluid....it can taste nasty. remember to hold a napkin up to it to hold the juice. Other than that just put the first bat on the charger and use the other one. When the first one is charged switch em.....
good luck

sas

did uk--lf send you a tracking #...just curious cause I've only ordered from the US site.

I cant remember what i did to my attys the first time ( i was a riva newbie). You should probably blow out any primer in there first. I can remember I puffed on one and charged the other, because they suggest you charge the batts for 8 hours at first, use them for 20 minutes ,and charge for another hour. Not sure if it made a difference but i love my 901s . They are great for dripping ! Did you get the 510 or 901 ? Happy vaping

510, what's the difference between the 901

510, what's the difference between the 901

Different threading for sure. I'm not sure what the other differences are but, some people prefer them. If you have something with 510 threads, adapters are available.

Other than the connection threads , im not sure. I now some people say the 901 is better flavor and the 510 in slightly more vapor..Ive never used a 510. They might be a little harder to drip too (saw it on L-F.coms site ???) OH ,,,the 510 has the airflow from the bottom connection and the 901 has a hole in the side of the atty... Everybody loves the 510 that ive seen , as well as 901 enthusiasts love there 901s . The 510 is more common

I'm sure you wont be disappointed in any case. You are gonna love the Riva. It's great being able to go to work or a day out without having to worry about dead batteries.

 

[wazzup592]

I bought it without knowing what it looks like last week. I watched a YouTube video to find it looks just like a pen and that the silver driptip I got is gonna look really dumb on it lol

If you didn't buy cartos (cartomizers) you probably don't have any. You probably have atomizer and carts aka cartridges.

Did you buy eliquid? Blow out the atty into a napkin. Prime it with a couple drops of juice. Wait a minute with atty vertical. Vape that mostly off without inhaling. Blow out again. Prime again and this time try inhaling - if it doesn't taste ok then vape that mostly off without inhaling, blow out the atty, and reprime.

carts - fill until it looks damp but not a puddle

standard cartos (if you have any) - pop the soft cap out (use an unbent paperclip stuck ony as far into the mouth hole as needed - don't catch wires or stuffing). fill totally (for a standard size carto that is at least 18 drops into the stuffing). Clean up threaded end if needed. If there is a defined air channel (all my fave cartos have this) blow into threaded end with open end down to clear air channel. Sop up any loose juice pooled above the stuffing. Then on a new fill, lay the carto on various sides for 15 to 20 min to make sure ever but of stuffing has absorbed juice.

I bought boge lr cartos and I also have atomizers with the starterkit. I also have 40mls worth of fluids coming with the kit and I have a 10ml bottle of cappuccino from joogler I can't wait to try

Hey, Jeff! I agree with what everyone else said. There are "no-filler mods" for the carts that prevent the stuffing from getting burnt. It is an issue you may want to address down the road. Hold off on modding til yo9u get the basics of what you have down. Definitely address the atomizers before using. I soaked mine in pure grain alcohol, blew em out, dripped some e-juice on the metal wick, then dry-burned without puffing til I could see the coil glow red. At this point, you'd have a cart filled. Slip it on and vape away.

You will undoubtedly be more impressed with the Boge LR cartos. I drip about 20 drops into the stuffing (after removing the rubber mouthpiece) on initial fill. Blow out the air channel with a hankie or tissue at the other end. You can see light though the middle from end to end. I then put the silver driptip on (it doesn't look too bad-it just doesn't match the gold-toned finish on the button ring-no worries lol).

Now you just have to stalk the UPS/FedEx/Mailman. There's a coupla threads on this forum related to this circumstance lol!

Shoot me a PM on TeamZX2 and it'll go to my phone if you need any questions answered asap...

 

[wazzup592]

I have to sign for it? I'd assume its coming usps because it was airmailed

NOW I KNOW who bought up all the cappuccino from Joogler....just kidding. His stuff is good and I just read a good review about this juice.

Isn't stalking the mailman fun....it becomes an everyday thing for awhile.

You picked a good kit. Just remember to remove the primer first, add 2 drops of juice and try vaping it, if it still tastes nasty, blow out again and repeat the drops.

 

[wazzup592]

I will do that! Joogler told me he was sold out of cappuccino because his supplier ran out but get told me he had enough to put a 10ml bottle together in yo face! I'm really hoping it comes today. Too bad I only have 45 minutes between work and class which is gonna be lame and if I can't play with it till tonight

 

[Dougiestyle]

I've left a note on my front door to leave the expected package in cases where I'm expecting something, but will not be present to sign for it. It usually gets dropped on my doorstep. I've had stuff airmailed with shipment confirmation, and NOT had to sign, tho. The carrier just has to enter the shipment time/date in their database. No worries! =)

I bought Boge LR cartos too! I got my Riva about a week ago but waiting for the LR cartos. For now I am using my standard Boges on it and it does seem to give a bit more heat and vapor out of even the standards vs using the standards on a slim 510.

Re 510 vs 901 - the is more stuff available for 510. All of the new kinds of cartos are always available in 510 threading (and also the Ego tank atty+tanks). And it's easier to find Boge cartos for 510. If you ever want to use a 901 atty just get a 510 to 901 adapter and you can screw 901 stuff on. I got Riva 510.

Re carts - I don't use them much but I do like blue foam. For standard 510 carts you can get precut blue foam at strictlyejuice.com very cheaply.

 

[wazzup592]

My next order will be the dual coil cartos from hoosier

 

[wazzup592]

Well, after waiting anxiously all day, I get home to find no package, no slip, nothing I'm hoping for tomorrow

 

[Higbe33]

I've had the 510 Riva for a week and love it. Took a little getting used to with the extra weight in a top pocket, but okay now. I also have a silver drip tip and thought it stylish until now.

 

[wazzup592]

Sorry! I still haven't gotten mine and the more I surf this forum, the more I know this ecig (If I like it) Is going to turn into an expensive hobby
