Riva doesnt like eGo Mega Cartomizers!?

[jimbalny]

Ya, so I got a 5-pack of eGo mega cartomizers and filled a couple up. Two for me one for my pops, I got him a T-Rex for father's day. They work fine on my eGo-T batt and his T-Rex but, for some reason, do not work on my Riva SE battery. The battery light flashes a few times and turns off, deactivating the switch for about 30 seconds roundabout. Tried looser, tighter and nothing. Battery contacts are all pretty clean I always wipe with a cotton swab when there's juice in there. I'm just curious as to why only the Riva battery don't like eGo carto's. Anyone know?

I'm sure it has something to do with the MOSFET. I heard that the Riva SE has slightly higher voltage, is this true?

I've had this happen several times to me on my T-Rex with the dual coil cartos I got with it (T-Rex Carto Deluxe Kit w/ Dual coils). Flashes like a beast, shuts back, then about 5-6 seconds later I can hit it again. Usually happens within the first 2-3 seconds of a pull, and that pull can happen right off the bat on one of the dual coils OR 15-20 mins in. Seems random on either T-Rex battery in the kit.

Oddly, I'm using a 510>901 adapter on my Riva 901 with the same cartos and haven't had a "Blink 'n Death" yet. I've only had the T-Rex since Friday, so still running and testing on it. But it seemed odd to me.

I'd like to hear a more experienced person's thoughts on why they do this, figure out what's going on with the eGo-types and flashing in general. Thanks for the post and looking forward to what ppl have to say about these blink 'n deaths.
