Riva 510 Titanium stater kit. It comes with 2 batts, 2 attys, atty cone , 10 empty carts and wall and USB chargers. Also got 6 - 5 ml bottles of juice (PG and high nic)... 3 tabacco and 3 "other" flavors and 2 drip tips , one plastic and one metal. Got all this at liberty flights for just over $50. Was wondering how long those attys will last or if i should have ordered some spares. What about a syringe , are the Riva carts hard to fill? One more question how long will this juice last? I was a pack a day smoker? Or one MORE question, does anyone see anything i missed that i might need? Thanks guys.
newbies first order

Hello and welcome! I think you'll really enjoy the Riva. You will probably want a few extra attys and you'll want more liquids. The carts don't require a syringe to fill, you just drip into them with the dropper bottles the liquid comes in. Other than that, you should be good to go for a bit.
Please let us know how it's going for you and ask any questions you have. We're happy to help.

Might last you 10-14 days.Just order a couple of attys on your next juice order.Its always good to have spares.If something like a battery or charger go out it can mess you up.Just get your stuff and try it out and be sure its what you like before you order more.
There is some good advice on cleaning attys in these forums. Oh and before i forget Welcome to ECF
Very good first order, impressive. Looks like you are good to go, for now. If you are planning on dripping you may want to consider a low voltage atty (down the road) and as others have suggested, you should get a 5 pack of spare atty's. If you order a low voltage atty, I find it's easier to tell them apart if you get a different color.
You can never have too many atty's or too much juice. Having extra is fine. Running out of either.....sucks. Great choice on your kit! I always assume that my order will take a whole week to get to me and order before I am down to a weeks supply of juice. Most orders arrive (in my experience) within 3 or 4 days, so that's kind of a "safety margin" that I build into my ordering schedule. Also, not a bad idea to have a "reserve supply" of juice and atty's.
Looks like you are off to a GREAT start! I wish you success!

Atty life is largely dependent on quality control when they were manufactured and how you treat them. Learn how to sense when the juice is getting low and refill at that point. If the vapor and taste start to drop off, refill! A dry atty gets hot and soon the coil will pop. If you do dry burns during cleaning, learn to pulse instead of holding the button on. All you need is a dull pulsing glow to burn off the crud. Don't let it get bright red.
The Riva is a good choice.

Thanks for the info and replies. Will post back here when i get it and try it out. Cant wait.
***UPDATE***
Got my new kit and juices in the mail Wednesday. I got the "titanium" Riva which actually looks more like brass but looks very cool especially with the metal drip tip attached. Keep in mind this is my first e-cig....heres my review.
Look -As i said looks very nice.
Battery life - been vaping on and off since thursday and havnt drained one of these fat boys yet.
Attys - blew them out then primed the with a bit of juice...seems ok
Empty carts - here is the only problem i have.... i fill the carts untill i see the juice pooling at the top (usually about 10 drops) but it only seems to last about 2 analogs worth of vaping .This is the only reason i havent taken to work yet. Is this normal? .. do i need a mod???
Drip tips - these work great....got the plastic one and metal one .... nice vapor production and throat hit with these.
Juices - not to crazy about these ... the pepper soda and red energy are ok but the coffee and tobacco flavors are not very tasty to me , maybe i'll let them steep for a little bit.
Overall - Very good deal. Dripping seems to work best for me but i would like to get more out of the carts so i dont have to drag 10 of them around just for 8 hours at work.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of carts. Drip tips are cool though. Try getting some Boge cartomizers. Fill one up with about 18 drops of juice. Let it sit overnight. Use it the next day. You need to load more than one or toss in a few drops every 3 or 4 hours. Don't let it run dry.
i wish i could buy this this cheap im in canada it cost me double to buy the ego 510 kit 105$ shipped.
No dude! Order from Liberty-Flights anyway, they ship to Canada and as long as you don't include juice in the order, Customs can't seize it. I've ordered two Riva 510 kits at $34.99 each, separate shipments. Both came without issue. In fact, I've also ordered 5 separate orders of juice from various US vendors and all 5 have made it. Just visit the Canada forum first for some tips.
As far as hardware orders go though, order away! All US vendors that ship to Canada are fair game.
At first, after reading some Green Smoke reviews, I went for more mainstream makes and models. But, after lurking around e-cigarette-forum for some time and when I've seen how other people are modding their e-cigs, I decided to venture onto a journey for bigger and badder vapes. To be honest, I spend much more time at home than outside, so when smoking indoors I do not really care how e-cig looks, just how long will battery last. That is why LF's 510 is really good. I picked my Riva from LF's shop and what was really cool, was that when it arrived, the battery was charged. Call that attention to details. It has a big fat battery and you can spend a whole day vaping, without any concern. Quite opposite, Green Smoke is puny in comparison, it looks more like normal cigarette, but it has nowhere near as long vaping time. Kind off, its looks v use. But, I personally find 501's looks embarrassing, because of its size, and I do not like smoking it publicly. I still can't get used to pressing that bad button in order to draw in, a bit strange, but than 501 supplies so much more vapor than GreenSmoke you definitely will like it. So much so, that when heating is on at home, I sometimes have to wipe the vapor's condensation off my laptop's screen ;-). Another thing is, you can believe the hype on the LF's site, battery really provides for 12 hours of vaping. When you take in account that most other vapes, that are sized as normal cigarettes, can only do about 4-5 hours, 510 is really good whole day solution. On the up side, I really like 510's atomizer and I wish I can somehow plug it into Green Smoke e-cigarette. One more good thing about 510 is that battery supplies the current constantly, all the way till the end. Than it flashes half a dozen times and it is dead. I much prefer this way of functioning. Green Smoke goes weak over a period of time, so you are trying to compensate by, should I say, sucking harder, what gets your lips all worked up and sour. The bad thing about it is that although battery is a monster, carts are not. I do lots of dripping and cart lasts shorter than battery, which is awkward. 510 fells heavy and solid in hand, because it is really substantial piece of kit. I totally recommend it.
