Ive owned my Ego for abiout a month and I honestly thought there was nothing out there better (except maybe the Chuck, which Im still looking to get!). That was until I bought a Riva. I really think that this ecig is a step above the Ego. I do like the Egos finish; the Riva seems cheaper to me on that end. but vape time, the Riva takes the cake with about 4 more hours vaping time, at least for me. I also like the button better on The Riva. Its softer I think and I love the blue light. Another thing is you get 2 atties with the Riva kit, only one with the Ego. As far as the vapor, I think the Rivas got it and its a little cheaper to boot.
Well. thats just my opinion but...Im glad I bought it!

Cignot includes 2 atomizers in the ego kit. I don't think 4 extra hrs really matters as these batteries last me 3 days anyway. Although I treat e-cigs like I treated analogs and only use it about once an hr for about 5 minutes. Also I'm curious as to how the vapor is better? Is there just MORE vapor? Because I'm already getting so much vapor I choke if I drag too long and can't see in my car unless the window is cracked.

I got my Tornado a few weeks back and love it as well. Can the Riva Larger battery be used with the Ego/Tornado cone? I might try the larger MAH batts available. By the way, after two weeks of 12 hour plus hours of heavy vaping my LR atty died. This is really the first 510 atty in over 14 months that has given up the ghost on me. I didn't rotate the LR at all, used it everyday all day. That I think is the answer, rotate atty's.

OK good... me too! I just got the eGo from cignot today. (love cignot!) It's great, came with two battys and two attys, makes a big huge cloud of vapor, but I was getting good vape from the 510. The eGo doesn't seem to have a fuller hit to me... it just seems like a whole lot of the same vapor. Maybe a flavor change would help?

Oh, and also it seems like since the battery is stronger, I get, like maybe three good vapes and then I have to drip or refill. Like the battery is burning off the juice faster... is it just me or did you notice this too?
