riva or eGo

[Chalie_Champ]

man i was all set to order my eGo today, and i found a killer deal on a Riva.....

they look like the same thing just a diffrent name....

is there anything diffrent about these 2?

Riva has a higher mah battery. Different switch. They are made by two different companies. Riva is considered by most to be a knock off. That just means joye tech made the eGo first and desinged it Riva copied it. Really from what i have heard they are both good PV 's . I personally own a eGo and like it alot better then the 510 i started with.

Either one will serve you well.

The RIVA was created after the eGo, BUT ALL eGo accessories fit the RIVA, and it has a MUCH better switch.

I <3 my Riva. It's got great bat life and I got mine for a great price at vaporjunction. Threw in 2 510 LR attys and I'm in vaping heaven. It hits pretty darn good and has a better draw and bat life. I'm a heavy vapor and It lasts me 6+ hours. When the battery actually dies on me I'm all awww cause it was going so long compared to my 510 I had LOL. I've heard good on both ego and riva.. only thing that made me choose the riva was the 100 more mah for the battery.. did it make a difference I don't know.. never tried a ego before LOL

the more nic in a juice the better TH it's going to give. Added with the PG/vg you should be fine. If you want a good TH look at awesomevapor.com they have all PG based liquids. or for that matter any PG based liquid compared with a high nic mg is going to give a good TH and that Riva with an LR atty is going to give one heck of a crazy one. I vape a Riva. LR 510 atty and awesomevapors vanilla 24mg and it's nuts the amount of TH i get.

And a standard ego bat is 650mah and a riva is 750mah

so your saying you like your Riva better then your eGo? i mean i found a eGo for 43.04 and the Riva for 46.75

My ego should be here today...so I can't compare yet...but I have heard good things about the ego...

The Riva is great with LR atty and cone...hits like a champ...lots o vapor...lol

 

[Chalie_Champ]

How are they with the stock atty?

 

[debb]

Pretty good....but actually ..I only use LR attys..(on the Riva).. just loving the vapor on LR...jmo...tho...

(I did just started using the mega XL E2's and they are good as well...)

 

[Chalie_Champ]

Look im only a few days into vaping, so the stock parts will be ok for me for now right? All i care about is a good throught hit, and ill be happy with an ok amount of vapor for now

so should i get the 26mg or the pg/vg 18mg with my kit?

Yep...as for mg...only you can decide that...I use 24 & 18.....I like 24 the best right now...I THINK higher mg = good TH...not sure tho...someone will correct me if I am wrong...some juices like coffee's for instance don't seem to have a great th...compared to say...menthol or cinnabomb...jmo..

 

[Chalie_Champ]

24mg pg/vg mix or what....

 

[Cyia]

Try both. More mg does give better th BUT! You may not be able to tolerate that high of nicotine. Just grab the 18mg pg/vg juice for now in my opinion. And yes stock attys are fine. But if u want that extra mile the (low resistance) LR attys mimic 5volt vaping and they perform better in my opinion with a riva/ego.

I hear you have to keep them wet....well how do you do tht when you go to sleep, or what ever
