RiVa and cartomizer- more tip than question

[SimpleSins]

I picked up some LR cartomizers to use with my RiVa to simulate the good vapor production I get with my 5V passthrough. I assembled my RiVa with the LR carto and the vapor production was almost nil and the draw was hard enough that I worried I would soon be slurping juice. I was in the process of disassembly, going to go back to a regular cart and attie or tethering myself to the coffee table, and after taking the cone off, I made one last desperate draw on it before relegating my LR cartos to the back of a drawer. Yowza!! It suddenly worked like I had hoped.

I'm new to vaping and not mechanically oriented, so I'm assuming this has something to do with airflow. It's not something I've noted with my regular atties, so I don't know if the LR cartos require more or what. In any case, I thought I would post this so that anybody who else may be having a similar problem with their RiVa and carto function may find this useful.

I had to peel away the black sticker on my LR carto to get airflow on the Riva. You do get massive airflow without the cone on as well.

Thanks for the heads up. I just received my Riva in the mail today too and I am still learning the ropes of vaping as well. I'm excited to get to using it and appreciate the tip!!
