riva or ego? which is best

[Maximillian]

Holly,

Also, if you do go that route and get both fat batts and slim batts with the same threading, and chargers for both, I'd REALLY suggest labeling the chargers right away. fat batt chargers will fry slim batts, or so I'm told.

Holly, the one from vape Escape is a slightly better deal as it comes with a mains as well as USB charger. Use discount code allabout for 10% off. Jason at vape Escapes customer service is second to none -

You will also need to buy some e-liquid.

You can use any carto/cart/atty on any model PV. The E-Power really provides much more bang for the buck than the ego. Why pay $15+ for batteries that will die four times more quickly when you can get better batteries for $4 that last 4 times longer.

What can I say I'm still learning.

Ok well I finally made my mind up, I'm getting a 510 starter kit for when I'm out and at work then a riva 1100 battery for at home. I'm going to see how long the 510 batteries last then I might think about getting a PCC if I need one. At the moment I think i will be more comfortable with something small when I'm out and about.
Definitely sending the sky cig back though.

i bought a riva 7 months ago and its still working like a charm. after testing/trying different things on it, i have finally settled on boge 2.0 cartomizers from crystalclearvapor. you will be extremely happy for a long time with the riva.

the 900mah riva battery i have lasts me 12-13 hours of vaping (im a fairly heavy vaper, 4ml/day). my 650 riva batt lasts me 8-9 hrs.

if you vape 3ml a day, it will last you all day.

I like having both the eGo and the Riva batts. Riva is a 3.7v batt and the eGo is a regulated batt that delivers a pretty consistent 3.4v. Some juices just taste better in once or the other, which is the reason for variable voltage mods today.

The 1000mah eGo batt is a 3.4v batt and the 1000mah eGo is a 3.7v batt, from what I hear. I have the 1000mah batt and have measured it fresh off the charger at 3.4v.

 

[holly77]

Yes i wanted one that would last me all day for when i'm at home. I know the standard 510 won't last very long but i work evenings and just wanted something small to take to work so i can charge the 510's during the day and hopefully they will last me my shift.

Again - a note - not all Rivas 510's are 3.7v. There are at least 2 Riva manufacturers as well as both old and new stock in various stores. But only the latest models of Riva 510 made by Eastmall are 3.7v. We know the US shop Liberty-Flights.com's Riva 510 kits are all new stock Eastmall 3.7v. We know any Riva 510 SE models or batteries are also 3.7v. In the UK Liberty-Flights.co.uk has the Riva 510 SE so those would be 3.7v but you would have to ask them about the other Rva 510 kits (they could be older stock, from before the non-SE ones were 3.7v)

No, That's what is was like to me.I Have both and the Ego is constant ,regulated,3.4 volts.
The Riva is 4.2volts +/- fully charged and gets gradually weaker and shuts off at around 3.2 -3.3volts.So the ego is just like the Riva right before I have to charge them.Almost dead.

 

[medman1234]

No matter what it says,I have both from LF.
This is from an email from LF.....
"The T-rex has a regulated voltage output, like the EGO, so it should produce a constant output voltage of ~3.4v."

I also noticed the site did not say that and I let them know....They replied
"I did not realize the listing read that way. I have updated it. The T-Rex, like the Ego and Firefly, are regulated not only for performance, but reliability. The Riva is unregulated, hence the voltage range of the device."
This was 2 weeks ago so go figure.

 

[holly77]

Well my 510 kit and riva have arrived and I tried the atty and cartos on the sky cig and they fit fine, very slightly wider than the sky cig but they work ok.
Now I don't know whether to keep the sky cig or send it back.
I like it because it has a pcc with it which is handy.

I have both and the ones that I reach for every time, unless they are on the charger, are the Rivas. I really don't know what the differences between the two are, but my Rivas just seem to perform better and are my go to all day and all night.
