Riva 510... does it take a regular battery???

[Dani1226]

I was just looking at this site someone posted... a really good price... 29.99$... especially when I payed 59.99$ for my kit... had not found this forum yet so didn't know about many sites/deals etc

So, I looked it over because my brother is asking about it and I really really REALLY would love for him to switch from analogs to e-cigs... I'm 12 years older than he is but he's suffering 10 times more than I ever did from smoking... Like I wrote in my earlier post, asthma, allergies, lungs of a 60yr old at 25...

OK, so what I noticed was that it didn't offer a charger with the kit? And... the size of the tip looks similar to the size of a AA battery... maybe a AAA, but looks more like a AA... I mean... otherwise, it wouldn't be a very good starter kit with no charger?

Correct assumption or no?

have you checked on this page? Electronic Cigarette - Starter Kits - Riva 510 Not sure if that's the one you're referring to or not.

They're out of the $29.99 kits, but they have some $34.99 ones and the owner said they'll have more of the lite bundles within a week. Both are extremely good deals and come with a charger.

Every kit should have a charger. Only the disposables won't and that's why they're disposable. Another option for a kit is EVcigarettes, who has a Riva kit for $59.95, but it comes with 20ml of liquid, a drip tip and you get 15% off, so it's still not a bad deal. Use coupon code "vapingguides" to get the 15% off.

As for the battery, it's its own kind. Not one you can just go buy in any store.

It comes with a charger. You can charge it with a computer via USB or by plugging it into a wall outlet. The battery is larger than an AA battery, and is good for about 300 charges. It stays charged for about 8 hours, or 3-4 with continual vaping.

I think a 25 year old would like a Riva 510, it's not gimmicky, and it isn't confused with a real cigarette, plus it has the power to keep someone off cigarettes because of the battery power/life.

if you want a riva type e cig that takes a user replaceable battery, check out the epower.

Riva batteries and EGo batteries are sealed units and rechargable.

You could look at Epower (not sure where it is sold) and it uses some kind of removable/replaceable industrial type rechargeable batteries. I don't know if there are any mods that use AA or AAA batteries.
