Question on 510 charger

[gymrat8168]

I am new to the forum and to vaping and currently use a standard 510. I was wondering if my 510 charger will work on a Riva or Hello 016. I have a friend who will give me one of them but only the battery and I would like to use my existing charger if possible.

You can, but it will take a longggggggg time to charge.

I've got 510's and the charger, I've also got an eGo. My eGo battery won't fit on the 510 charger because the hole is too deep for the fat battery to go into it. From what I've read there are different styles so yours may be different. If you can get a free batt, take it and buy an eGo charger. It'll do eGo, Riva, or Hello 016's and only costs about $6.

I have read that you can use a 510 charger on an Ego type battery, but not vice versa. The 510 charger will take a LOT longer to charge the ego batt. The ego charger will prolly burn up a regular 510 bat. Best to get yourself an Ego fast charger and keep it separate from the 510 charger so that you don't accidently put one on the other.

Thanks for the info. I am planning on getting the correct charger but was hoping I could sart using my regular 510 charger until I got the new one. Which model would you suggest I take the Riva or the Hello 016. Both seem to get good reviews but which would you choose.

Good advice here.

Well, the Riva is probably around 750mah but the Hello 016 is 1200mah. I've got eGo Mega's at 900mah and one battery usually lasts me from 7:30am to around 10:00pm. I would guess I vape moderately because I got through 2 to 3 ml a day of juice. Personally I'd take the Hello because it would last me all day without having to swap batteries at all, but that's my opinion.
