Riva atomizers dying after 5-7 days

[Jarnin]

I picked up a Riva from Liberty Flights about 7 months ago. The atomizers that came with it lasted until about 3 weeks ago, when the final one died after using it for almost three months straight. I ordered some replacement atomizers from Liberty and they came about 5-6 days later.

The first replacement I used seemed to work fine, though a lot of the wicking material was sticking out. After 7 days, it would no longer produce vapor or even heat up, and when I pushed the button on the Riva it would flash as if it needed to be charged.
The second replacement has lasted me another 7 days. It just died about 4 hours ago with the same issues as the first. The third replacement died now. Same issues.

When the first one died I shot Liberty an email regarding warranty info on these, and they said "They're only guaranteed for 7 days", which means I was SOL.

I bought a 5 pack. Paid a bit more than I'm used to. I guess my question is; Am I just unlucky or are these atomizers the pieces of garbage I think they are?

I purchased the riva kit for my bf for father's day from them and the atties both went out within a few days. I didn't say anything because we were switching to cartos anyway. I wonder if the atties in the kits are the same as the ones in the packs. Seems like i've been seeing quite a few posts recently about the riva atties from LF.

Try lifting the center post on the atomizer with a pin.Sometimes it is not making a contact with the battery.Hope that helps.

In my experiences, atties should last a lot longer!

Yea try the center post. You can also meter the atty out to make sure it has the right ohms. If showing the right ohms, then its just not making connection to battery. Check your battery connector too. Might just have lot of crap in the threads.

I am still on my first atty, 3 weeks. But I have only used it for dripping....

Thanks for the replies! I tried the center post and no joy. I think I just got a bad batch, but I won't be buying atomizers from Liberty again. I can probably find a spot somewhere on this forum. Love it!

Thanks again!
