They are almost identical. The Riva has a 750 mah battery and the ego is 650 mah. The Riva will hold a charge a little longer.
Just to add a little more about the button....The Riva button is more recessed than the ego and the light is blue whereas the ego button is a bit higher and glows red. They both have the same feel when pressed. I prefer the Riva button because it is more recessed and blue is my favorite color.
I have never seen a red light on an Ego. Mine seem to be white with a blueish tint. The Riva is a much bluer blue.
As for a preference between Riva and Ego......well six of one, and half dozen of the other. Although I have heard that all the new Rivas are now true 3.7 volts output compared to the Ego at 3.2 or so.

Thanks everyone. I'm thinking about an upgrade and these get a lot of good reviews.
I just researched this!
Every thing I read said Riva. I ordered mine 7 hours ago(now I get the "is the mail here yet" thing in the mornings)...
I found that Liberty Flights has the lowest price. Throughout the hours poured into coupon codes, I noticed that Riva is also the less expensive one, and that its parts are also less expensive(batts). And the chargers are interchangeable, so if I do want to try EGO I can just get their battery, and already have the stuff to make it go
Its OK to to say this isnt it? Im not a seller/supplier or such. Not giving it a plug, just my $.02 trying to answer a ?

I found the Ego to be more recessed (ego-XL) - It came with a button protector which doesnt work on my riva because the riva button can still be pressed 'through' it.
I prefer the Riva- higher voltage vape, and cheaper- L-F.com is the best place, I sent someone there yesterday to buy one
I just got my Riva from Liberty Flights last week and I'm very pleased with it. I did add Boge low resistance cartomizers to my order as well, and I have to say, it's a different experience than the atomizer/cartridges that the Riva kit ships.
Still haven't decided which I like "better". But either way, I'm happy with it.

This indicates a 3.7 volt battery by the way, all batteries come off the charger putting out a bit over their nominal voltage, then drop down for the rest of the cycle.
The Riva would be my choice. I prefer its softer button and slightly hotter hit with standard cartos at 3.7 volts. BTW, In order to measure a battery's true voltage, it needs to be measured with an atty or carto attached. I used 2.5 to 3.2 ohm loads for my measurements. This is referred to as being "under load". Simply measuring the battery right off the charger will not tell you much. Both types could measure over 4 volts with no load. The Riva appears to have a bit better better ability to regulate voltages closer to 3.7 V than the original eGo which measure close to 3.2 volts under load. Still, both are great PV Batteries and wouldn't hesitate to recommend either one for a starter kit.
Welcome!

I perfer the eGo button, but the riva's 750mHa SEEMS to give a more consistent voltage vaping, honestly as time goes on your going to try all kinds of batteries least I did, 650's, 750's, 900's and 1100's, by a variety of manufacturers. Joye does make a 750, which I didn't like but I loved the 900.
Now the long and short of what I'm trying to say is, if this is your first e-cig, you can't go wrong with EITHER choice, because this is just the start of hopefully a long but happy journey for you and your e-cig. Once you start "saving" a few dollars on analogs you'll start trying all sorts of different things to find your "magic spot" and no one but you can really find that, because we all want different things out of this.
For me I started with the Joye eGo, tried ALL the cart mods out there, ended up doing standard drip instead of the mods. Tried all sorts of batteries to enhance my experience. Tried bottom feeders etc. This was almost a year ago I started my journey and I was "afraid" of making a mistake, and well I did make a mistake I tried the Blu before I found this forum, but after asking like you did, I made the jump and havent looked back!
GOOD LUCK!

Oh Oh! What is the difference between the orig. and the knockoffs besides the color of the button?
Interesting video I came across. Shows joye battery in Riva
