Riva Difference?

[Nic_Fan]

Liberty flights has a Riva 901 starter kit for 37.95
Eastmall's 901 starter kit is 49.99

Are multiple manufacturers able to use the Riva name?
Are there quality differences?

Riva is a clone of the eGo. Liberty Flights and Eastmall are distributors/resellers.

I have zero experience with Eastmall, I have had 2 quickly shipped and correct orders from LF. They have an ongoing 20% coupon too, I believe.

They are the exact same unit. Liberty Flights is selling them cheaper because they buy them in bulk and only pay 20.00 or less for the kit. That is an excellent price and is probably lower because not many people are buying the 901's. Everyone has pretty much gone over to 510 connections. I don't think they make a 901 battery larger than the 750 and most people are wanting at least a 1000 mah battery now. I like the 901's but they are just not compatible with many of the new products. I did see them on Eastmall for 39.00.

Liberty Flights has the Riva 750 lite bundle for 29.00 with discount. Hard to beat that for a kit with two setups.

Personally, I would go for the Riva 510 Special Edition from LF for $34.39.

Does the SE have a better Battery? 34.39 is still a great price.

Thanks guys. I actually bought the Riva 510 SE kit a few weeks ago. I like it but seem to prefer the 901. Odd man out I guess.

The SE battery is supposedly a little better. There is a loooong thread about them here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/joye-510/65055-battery-voltages-surprise.html
