Riva 901 so angry!!!!

[fly poster]

I have had nothing but bother with my riva 901

After 2 weeks both my batteries went, then when I went to un plug the wall charger, the back came off (how very safe), ordered to replacement batteries (under warrenty) 1 does not work (turns the light red, flashes, but does not charge) the other took 1 charge, now won't turn the charger light red. sitting here p****d off coz I am smoking again.

Anyone else have the same problem? and also can I please get some reccomendations of which models/makes people have found to be the most reliable?

.......n things.

if you want a good bit of kit go for 510 riva, ego, tornago you will not have as much problem plus bigger battery so lasts longer. been using them for 2 months plus now and zero problems not even a atomiser fail. nope this helps ohh (riva, ego, tornado) are all same thing just diffrent vendors use differnt names.

tip I learnt myself while on holiday in Turkey watch the conecting end of battery b4 putting on charge for fluid if there is some dry it out with hankey bum papper vest lol

... they are NOT the same thing, although similar.

The eGo and Tornado are the same, but with different branding and warranties...

The Riva is a clone of the eGo, made by a different factory.

Sometimes cleaning the connections helps....

Just posted this in a few forums but 2 510s ive had for a month 2 chargers gone wrong,led cover fell off 2 attys broke(that might be my fault tho). Got them from juicycigs who have replaced all apart from the attys. But is this a common thing??
