So I got my Platinum Riva and have been using it for a few days and thought I would make a little video of it..

YouTube - Riva


Now this is the 1st review I have ever done so keep that in mind when watching the video. Also there was no need to show my face, well at least not all of it, the review is on the Riva:vapor:

Enjoy...

Thanks for the vid! I had two of my buddies order them from VaporJunction w/o having seen/used one. I figured the eGo was real good...so a Riva should be that much better w/ the bigger battery.

Looks like I might just have been right! :D

And not to call you out, but I always thought it was Ree-vah. Is there an official pronunciation? I'm no linguist!

Great 1st review! Keep it up for all of us!

I've had mine for a couple days now. I ordered an extra batt with my kit. Some reason, one of the three batts "switch light" blinks on for 1 second every minute or so. Just a 1 second blink, then out. Maybe some teckie can give me an idea how much burn time the one second per minute is costing me. I haven't pulled the cart off to see if the atomizer is actually coming on for the second or if the switch is just blinking without charging the atty. If it's just a matter of the switch L.E.D. lighting then prolly would make little difference in atty run time. If it doesn't cost me burn time I may keep the one out battery rather than returning for replacement. I've already lost an atty though. I'm gonna see if I can get that replaced under warranty. Anybody know the cut-off on these RIVa batts, or maybe the 510 atty has some overtemp protection? I'm assuming they have some kind of a thermal cut off switch or circuit. :confused:
For your next video review, might consider wearing plain white shirt for better contrast with item you're reviewing. :) That is, if you have a dark item again.

thanks,

Cheers,

When lasting all-day how are the last vapes compared to the first vapes on a fresh charge?
How much do you save versus purchasing an Ego?

Thanks for the review.

The starter kit is usually $60, even if you get it from a US vendor. So, typically $15 cheaper than the eGo, plus it has a higher capacity battery.

VaporJunction has 'em for $60 and they are still running 20% off for 1st time customers and 15% off for returning...so it's a great deal! But at that price, I went with the Indulgence instead.

-Thanks for the review.


I am getting around 10-12 hrs of battery life. They vape hard almost to the end, it's like the last 2 vapes you know something is up. At first you think I may be running low on juice, nope not it, and then you know it's time for a recharge.
