I've been looking at the Riva 1100 mah PV. I came home from vacation with funds leftover..and well....have to feed the addiction :D

I like my 808XLs for on the go and recently picked up a Riva 510 650 mah for dripping new juices. I really like it - I like the way it feels in my hand - weight pretty balanced - so now looking at the 1100 mah kit and looking for anyone that has one for some feedback. Jumping from 650 to 1100 is the PV about the same size as the 650? I've looked at the ego line...echo..igo...and I keep coming back to the look of the Riva....

I also want to pick up some clear cartomizers to play around with on it. Looking at two diff ones:

Clear Colossal Dual Coil Cartomizers

510 blank CLEAR cartomizers

Anyone have any experience with either of these cartos?

Really grateful for any feedback....:)

I bought a couple of Riva1100 kits. They are 1" longer than the riva750. They work really good using dual coil or boge cartos and the resurrectors which are smoketek 1.7ohm jumbo cartos. They also work and look good with the new echo-e cartomizers. I've never tried the cartos you reference so I can't help you there. I purchased some KGO1100 batts also and frankly they are a bit better than the riva. Riva is a 3.7v battery while the KGO is a 4.2 battery. Same size though but the KGOs are less expensive.

Hey mohawk - tyvm for the feedback! I'm hooked on the Riva because it comes in blue :) I like that it's longer too. I'm not that into how much vape prod...as long as I'm getting same as I did from an analog I'm really good to go! I have a 5v pass thru I use G5s on - which is pretty WOW all the way around. This should pretty much completely my collection. (hahahaha - famous last words.......)

Oh..and interesting on the resurrectors...are they all LR? I dont do so well with LR stuff...for the big warm vape...I like it a little smoother...I'll have to check those out and see if they are all LR. :D

I actually prefer the Dual Coil clear cartos. At one point I had traded all my cartos away for them. had to get a few regular cartos for cinnamon....

Pamdane!! I recognize a vermillion head when I see one!!! Is THAT the cinnamon you speak of? I am completely addicted..my all day vape! Thanks a bunch for the heads up on this! How long does one of them last for you? No probs with VR juices? Any other issues with other juices?

I'll trade ya a carto tip - I purchased the jumbo drip MF style cartos at Nhaler - holds close to 3 mils - they rock the house..I use on my 808xls. Hot Cinna - is just GREAT in them. I've just been refilling them..and so far I've been using about 3 weeks and still going strong - so I'm really stoked about the find! Also having super good luck with the G5's but only on my pass thru...because after using them on a pass thru - anything else is zero fun :D

lol. I use any cinnamon. High Calibur is great, until it steeps, then it loses its bite. Honeyville has clove in it- for some reason I can pick up clove so easily- I highly dislike it. I have not had any juices kill a clear carto. A clear carto lasts about an hour for me, but my Riva only lasts me 2 hours, so you can understand how I chain vape. I got a little over 2 weeks on my youngest lived clear carto. It died yesterday. I kept it in case I ever need the tube. You do know Riva makes a Special Edition battery that is 4.2v? But to my knowledge it does not yet come in 1100, unless its still in China?
ANYTHiNG VR is excellent.

Can do a trade- PM me. I will be getting an 808 soon, with the V4L gift cert. I won. I also have an 808 NHaler mod made by Drew when he still made them himself. But anything LR in it just fries the juice. But the cartos hold up under the heat it gives off. Fresh off the charger it meters at 5.8v

Have you tried the VR Hot Cinn? I've tried 2 other kinds just to see if it's close and VR blows them out of the water. I can't do LR cartos. My newfound knowledge that I will need a syringe .. well it's just funny. Have you tried the other ones...the ones that hold nearly 3mls? I fill a G5 about 70% and on my pass thru - I can vape that GONE in no time...I guess I should just try and find out huh :D
