Heyas monnie788,
I've ordered from LF several times now, with great results. They've always shipped the same day, all orders were correct, and arrived promptly. Their service and overall good pricing are probably the reason so many here recommend them.'
All three kits look good. Since you already have some vaping experience, I'd recommend looking first at what all you want to order, then see which kit/ala cart combo is less expensive or more suited to your tastes.
A good starting point imo is 2 batts, 1 charger, 1 wall tap, 2 atties, 1 box cartos, 1 driptip, a variety of flavors of juice in small bottles. Everything else is optional. The cones make the riva look nicer, and more comfortable to hold, but depending on the cone and atty/carto used, can restrict airflow to the extent of making the draw too hard. An extra charger/wall tap is a good idea, just in case. Same with an extra batt. If you use the atties just for dripping to try out new flavors, or to vape a flavor that you only are in the mood for occaisionally, 2 gives you one and a spare. It seems like most here end up using cartos most of the time. Myself included, although I thought the idea of a disposable atty as compared to a reusable atty was just silly when I first started
I like both boge lr (2.0Ω) and smoketech 1.7Ω single coil cartos. I'm not a big fan of dual coil cartos at 3.7v. Just not enough oomph for my taste, but many do like them even at that voltage. Driptip. Only a couple bucks, and I get more use out of them than almost any other piece of gear. The only 2 pieces of hardware I always use are a batt and a drip tip. I might be using an atty or carto. I might be using a cone or not. But the batt and driptip are a constant
The only difference I can see on the site between the riva kit and the riva lite kit, is a .2Ω diffference in the atties. So, either would be good, and throw in a box of cartos for ~$7-8. Or, get the carto deluxe kit (which comes with a free carrying case) and throw in a wall tap and a couple atties. Works out about the same either way.
btw, I've found LF to be out of stock on cartos quite often. Hoosiers usually has a goodly supply of them at very reasonable prices though. And hoosiers service is also excellent in my experience. Also, madvapes carries a huge selection of cartos, many of which can be bought either singly or by the box. They're also resonably priced and have excellent service.
Sorry for the ramble, and hope this helps
