You will be far better getting a starter kit (2 componates) to purchase and cartomiser type which has battery
better to a site were you can order as you require a good one to start l found was at vaporciggy.com which is
uk based.

With the clearomizer you get with the kit it holds 1.6 ml. Your cartridges probably held 1 ml. As for the cartomizers that come with the kit they hold 1 ml juice.
I began with Boge 1 ml cartomizers. Next Smok Tech XL 1.7 single coil cartomizers. I then added a 3 ml tank. I now use either tank+ carto or REBUILDABLE LONG WICK Clearomizers- easily and cheaply replaceable wicks/ coils (head)- simply unscrew old head and screw in new head- 10 secs.

With the Riva you'll prolly want 1.8 or 2.4 ohms cartos or clearomizers. I LOVE a warm vape but find the 1.8 ohm clearos are too warm.
Overall that's the beauty of the Riva- after you buy, because it is true 3.7 Volts, you can upgrade/ addon stuff as your knowledge base and experience increases.

100 mah= 1 hr of normal vaping before recharge. The Riva is 1100 mah and comes off the charger at 4.2? volts and slowly goes down to 3.3 volts BUT most of the time it's at 3.7 volts. The Ego discharges much quicker thus is not firing at a high voltage some of the time. 3.7 volts does give a far better vape BUT it also depends on the delivery system:
Different delivery systems:
atomizer/ atty- an element on to which 3-4 drops of juice is dripped
cartridge/ cart- a container with sponge (filled with juice) that is used with the atty- juice drips on to atty from cart and is vaporized- this is what you are now using
Red below is what you'd be getting with the Riva:
cartomizer/ carto- metal tube with stuffing and element.
carto+tank- a carto with a hole punched in it. Carto is than placed in a glass, metal or plastic tank which is filled with juice- juice saturates carto by way of hole in carto.
Clearomizer- a plastic or metal tank with a wick and element. Contains NO stuffing.
The very best cartomizer used by 3.7 volt PV/ Ecig users is the Smok Teck 1.7 single coil cartomizer aka The Ressurector BUT at this time both Boge and Smok Teck are having QC issues so I would not recommend them
I can almost guarantee you it will knock your sox off
Juice Components
Flavoring usually about 15%
PG enhances flavor, TH and lung hit- water like
VG= vapor and can mute flavor- thick
Nicotine- TH, lung hit and our need for nicotine. The MOST important ingredient in regards to TH and lung hit.
Standards in the industry are 80/ 20 or 70/ 30 PG/ VG. I vape 70/ 30 PG/ VG.
The Riva will blow the ciggie lookalike away. U will be shocked at how good it is compared to the cartridges and pv ur using right now.
It is how long the battery lasts. You can get a good enough vape with mini ecigs like 808's for eg. If that is what you want. You need good juice and cartomizers though. Go to Smokeless Image and look at the Volt. Very nice 808's and there are plenty of people who are happy with the mini ecigs.
When using a carto with tank my carto lasts:
dark juice= 50- 60 ml
light juice= 80- 90 ml
so you can see the saving compared to your mini ecig as quite amazing. Realize when using a carto+ tank the cartos must be punched...you can punch your own with 1/4" a saddle valve form Hardware Store. I punch my own using nail and hammer punching one hole 2.5 mm wide.

And please take no notice of Biz2days post - he is the owner of the site he has linked to in his post. I know because the same id has asked me for vendor status on AAEC UK.
cheers for the posts guys, yeh i did have probs with the ecigbrand and had to threaten court action to get my money back off them, but i dont let anyone get away with trying to rip me off lol soon got my money back and kepted the googies
seems like its a big thumbs up for the Riva then? i have to make my mind up quick as i,m off on my holidays tuesday and need to get me juice in quick... saying that i do have 20 cartrides left with this ecig, but i wouldent mind a stronger mg juice
Sealover, don't forget, it's a bank holiday, so no post on Monday.
I want something for in public tbh the riva looks huge and i dont want to stand out to much if i can help it, whats the best e-cig lookalike i can buy is that what your talking about dragonbone with the 808?
hey guys no fags today and i dont even miss them lol i got a feeling these might work for me after so many times trying to pack the dam things in.... yay

I know chrissie i was thinking about having it sent to the hotel lol
The Riva isn't that big - only about the size of a cigar. Plus, you could end up standing out far more by using a ciggie lookalike as it could be mistaken for a real cig.
If you can make it over the Tamar & would like to try my Riva out before you buy one, I'm more than happy to meet up with you. It's one of the first edition Riva's so a fairly old battery but still works. I mainly use my GGTS these days - now that's big

ROFL ;D With e-cigs, size does matter
Going back to you asking about the 808 mini ciggie lookalike. It's still got a low mAh battery & it wont be compatible with any 510 cartomisers that the majority of UK vendors sell.

As far I know 510 mean standard kit you use, you can replace any old or damage spare parts, most popular this 510.

510 & 808 refer to the basic model numbers & the type of threads on e-cigs (lol I'm sometimes so bad at explaining things). In the UK most vendors sell parts that fit 510 threaded e-cigs. All of the 510 cartomisers can be easily refilled. And it depends on the type of thread on the ciggie lookalike as to whether they will fit.
so is the Riva part of the 510 series chrissie? i,ve been looking at getting one for indoors and buying a 808 for going out now lol
