Aside from the overall size and battery life, will I notice much of a difference compared to my Riva 510? I like the possibility of 6v (or possibly 5v if I read correctly), but I am most curious about my experience at 3.7v. Will I be able to notice any difference? If so, what?

Currently using Riva 510 from LF and 2.5 cartos.

Any thoughts would be great. Thanks guys.

Never used a Riva 510, but I own a SB and love it. Its a workhorse and the 18650 battery at 3.7v will last almost 2 days (for me at least . . . about 3-4ml per day).

6V is amazing. It was a little intense at first; warmer vapor and massive throat hit, but now that is all I vape at. I can't say enough good things about the Silver Bullet. The button is fantastic too. I'd say the type of carto/atty will have more effect on the vape/throat hit/flavor than the mod itself (both at 3.7v). I would also recommend getting a tank like the Liquinator, as cartos perform amazingly well in them and last MUCH longer than without a tank. I've been rocking the same carto for about three weeks now with no change in performance. At ~$2 a piece, its well worth the cash!

Just got my 2nd silver bullet today and it's a great device. I use a 4.8v NiMH battery with a 3.0ohm Boge carto in a Liquinator. It hits my sweet spot and performs a bit better than a Riva-like device, using an lr306 atty. I get more of a continuous, warm vapor with great taste....

OK,I just tried a dual coil carto(1.5ohm)/liquinator with an eGo, and it doesn't even step up to my Silver Bullet. The vapor from my Silver Bullet kinda pushes out more. I had to kinda suck in the vapor with my eGo setup. The Silver bullet also looks too awesome, especially with the Phat Liquinator, because the caps are flush with the Silver Bullet's body. I'm waiting on my Phat White Liquinator to go with this White/black button Silver Bullet for some Storm Trooper action!

I use the $11.99 tank with a 1.5 cartomizer from Smok Tek. On my Silver Bullet it is wonderful but not as much flavor on an EGO battery. The only time I'm using my Ego's now is when driving since I put it on a chain around my neck. On the ego's I use the Echo E cartomizers to eliminate any possible leaking from a tank. The Silver Bullet is well worth the money that Altsmoke charges for it. Register for the news letter on Altsmoke's website. Go back to your email and get the "code" for a discount on your order.

I have a silver bullet, and it's what made me quit smoking. It works, lasts a verrry long time, and the vapor production with these batts are HUGE!! Make sure to get some AW IMR 3.7v 1600 mah, Ultrafire 18650 3000 mah 3.7 li-ion and obviously some AW lifepo 500mAh 3.2V's. Also make sure to use a carto lower then 2 ohms when vaping @ 3.7 volts and a carto above 2.4 ohms when vaping @ 6-7v's. You notice a huge difference with battery life and vapor production. SB is wonderful. Good luck!

The SB is amazing at 3.7, the strongest hitter I've owned to date, only reason I got rid of mine was the size, other than that, this thing is close to perfect.

Yeah, the size was a negative for me too, but I agree that the SB hits amazingly well with an 18650 in it. I found the Omega to hit brilliantly as well and I much preferred it's contoured shape, lighter weight and top switch. Truthfully, I'm a fan of both mods as they're built to last and perform so well, I just liked the Omega a bit better. Don't see how you could really go wrong with either.
