Riva 901 - experiences

[jjcordone]

I have a few standard KR808 batteries that I've been using with Bloog cartomizers.

I decided I'd like to give a fat battery a shot, so I bought a Riva 901 starter kit. I loved the battery life and the size was comfortable. 11 days into owning it, one of the batteries wouldn't trigger the charger into the charge cycle. It just sat there with the charger green. The next day, the second battery did the same thing.

Back to my KR808's while returning the Riva 901's for warranty replacements.

The seller did take the batteries back, but didn't have black replacements and I ended up with a color I hated. I sold the starter kit. I went to a different seller and purchased one single Riva 901 battery.

After only one day, it started triggering its cut off within a couple of seconds of pressing it. (shut down with blinking light).

I'm again back to my trusty standard KR808 batteries as I wait for warranty replacement.

Anyone else experience quality problems with the Riva 901's ?
Can anyone recommend a fat battery solution that will work with the Bloog cartomizers?
The Riva 901's were a great price, if they actually worked, but so far my experience with them has been very disappointing.

try getting a cheap 3.7v box mod. they normally have the 510 connector but you can get an adapter so your 901 and 808 will work with the 510. 510 to 901/808-D Adapter
