I've distributed well over 100 Kgo/ Riva Kits. I prefer the Kgo SLB but when ordering in bulk sometimes couldn't get the Kgo so went with the knockoff Riva which I've found is equally as good. The Kgo/ Riva come off the charger @ 4.2 volts and go down to 3.3 but for most of the vape time they are @ 3.7 V.

Oh?? Are you a vendor? Anyway, so a Riva is a fake Kgo? Is that correct?

Sadly I see many people buying Ego- C and T starter kits with the atty/ cartridge tank system. As far as I'm concerned they should not be sold due to leakage issues. Yes some are quite happy with them but most usually switch to cartos or clearos. If someone really wanted to use that type of system I'd recommend a bottom feeder.
I'm lost. eGo-T and C tank systm is completely different to the old atty and cart from the beginning of vaping...

No I run a vaping prog at a shelter I volunteer at and have many friends I've converted so it's a non profit thing. Awhile ago I was going to setup shop only because of the high prices here in Canada- we were paying double+ for stuff, $23.00 for 30 ml juice, etc. I made my overseas connections, spoke with lawyers, accountants, HC, a few politicians BUT someone else beat me to the punch with low prices and quality gear so, at my age, there really wasn't any reason to open up shop. The Riva is a very well made Kgo knockoff but because it's a knockoff it sells for a lower price. Last Christmas I bought 3 knockoff 1100 Kgo starter kits for $20 each. Although the people I gifted them to are light vapers the batts are still going strong after 8 months so knockoffs are not necessarily a bad thing IF one does the proper DD/ research. If the Riva was not up to my standards I would not be recommending it to new vapers or distributing it to friends.
Here's a review from a Riva user after 1 yr of use:

chrissie does this kit come with any juice? i see they come with 5 x Standard Resistance Cartomisers
but i dont know what a Cartomisers is and weather they got anything in them

No it doesn't come with any juice & the cartomisers don't have any juice in them. Most folks get through between 2-4ml of juice per day. Lol, I pinched the pic from Vape escapes web site & labelled it to help someone else identify the parts we were talking about - off to rummage in my photobucket for the pic .....


...... found it :D

comdom method seems like you waste alot at the bottom can you not tip the rest in the top lol

I prefer to drop my liquid into the top of the carto myself. A good tip is to put a broken wooden tooth pic into the air hole to prevent any juice from getting in there and flooding it. Fill the carto until it looks wet, like a slushy drink. Be patient and take your time, it pays off in the end.

If you find you like vaping with carto tanks, I recommend getting a tank accessory tool like this: View attachment 129236


I recommend this one from Big Daddy Vapor, although there are others from other vendors. This tool makes filling and assembling your tanks much easier, and also protects your tank's o-rings from the sharp edges of the carto. Bad o-rings = leaking tanks = unhappy vapor.

Lol, if I'd got to your post earlier I could have saved you a phone call :D

At the moment, I'm using a huge batch of juice I bought from Health Cabin (China) from when I did a bulk order with them a couple of months back. But from the UK vendors, my favourite is Black Cat from Vape Escape & I also really like the tobacco & fruit flavoured juices from paradise Vapes -

Got to admit that I do still mainly stick to the tobacco flavoured juices, but that's mainly because I don't have a sweet tooth.

Taste is very subjective, but it might help you get an idea about what a flavour is like from these (mainly UK) e-liquid reviews -
