I'm thinking about getting a different e-cig. I've been using the m401 for a couple of months and really like the throat hit and vapor production, but can't stand the battery life.

I have looked at the ego, riva, and the hello 016 and i'm not sure which one to go with. Would like to know which one has the best reliability for the buck.

I can testify to the battery life of my RiVa. One battery seems to get me thru at least 8 hours. It's after 5 here and I am still using the battery from last nite. I was busy today and didn't sit chain vaping today. Trying to make up for it at the moment tho.

Long term reliability? Not sure. Hopefully a long term user can comment.

looks like most are leaning toward the riva. Who has the best price on them and whats better atomizer or cartomizer

vaporjunction.com has the riva kit for 50 bucks. Use the code ecf10 for 10% off your purchase. It took 2 days to get to me. I have only been using it for three days, but I have only changed the battery 3 times. Probably would have only changed it 2 times if I didn't chain smoke it for the entire first day. Vapor production is awesome. The taste is great after you burn off the liquid that comes in the atomizor. Chain smoking the battery last 10 hrs for me. One battery lasted me 25 hrs though. That included a 3 hour trip to the bar with all my friends trying it out.

I've been using my new eGo for something like 2 days now. I sometimes chain vape for 3 hours, then I will only touch it every 10-15 minutes. I just now killed my second battery and the performance of the device is solid. It does have a stiffer draw than the 510 I was using due to the cone, but I prefer it that way.

I got mine from Cignot your Midwest Electronic Cigarette store. and had a very good experience.

I agree, the Riva or Ego would be a great choice, I don't think you'd go wrong with either. People seem to prefer the button action on the Riva and it has a slightly higher mah battery but I don't think the little difference in the battery is going to make that much real world difference. The Riva seems to run a few bucks cheaper in general and so does the replacement batteries.

I placed my order for the Riva from vaporjunction yesterday afternoon and it was in my mailbox this morning, granted It didn't have to travel that far but still, that's amazingly fast.

If you want to go for the ultimate battery without going to a mod check out the Hello. It has the cone and atomizer as one piece though and if you go with another ato the cone can't be used so it doesn't look as sleek, still it's got a higher rated battery.

an eGo starter kit will definately make it through out the day between the 2 batts it comes with...i'm pretty sure the same for the riva. I havent done price comparisons or even really looked at the riva, however I read good things about both on these forums...and I know im glad i chose an eGo for my first kit just because i've always had a fully charged batt ready to go with only 2 to choose from. As i said i read that the Riva is likely not much different at all.. so just go do some price comparisons and order what you want :)
