Riva vs eGo/Tornado?

[basilray]

Anyone used both? They look to pretty much be the exact same unit, but the Riva has a larger batt capacity.

The Riva is also about $20 cheaper for the kit, which is an added bonus. So the way I see it is this: Riva is $20 cheaper for a larger battery that will still allow me to use my 510 atty's and carto's, seems like a no brainer, right?

My birthday is coming up, and now that I'm 2 weeks analog free, I figured I owe myself a new present!

I have both. I'm not a heavy vapor so battery life isn't a big issue for me but I like the rubber button on the Riva a lot better.

Aside from that, is there any major difference in vaping performance?

Not that I've noticed, as far as vapor goes I have no complaints with either one of them. The Riva does come with a wide band atty.

Scottbee has both and he went into some detail comparing the riva to the tornado/ego in the eastmall forum. It's in the sticky announcing the riva sale.

Edit: found it. A bit more here.

I stand by my initial reviews that Candre32 identified. Still using the Riva daily (along with my Tornado/eGo).. no new news.... (which is good news I reckon)

I can't justify any hardware purchases (except maybe another 510 USB charger) right now. Still burning off the sting of the $100 I blew on the Smoke51 POS that lead me here. Damn mall kiosks!

And...the thing on my head is a Devo hat! I wasn't sure what to do for Halloween 2 years back, so I whipped up a Devo hat and ripped the sleeves off a turtleneck!

Back to the subject at hand...I'm just not sure what to do: Riva or eGo/Tornado! Ahhh!!! The madness! I know I'll be doing something for my birdthday next month...I just don't know what I'll treat myself to!

I emailed tw earlier today. The black tornados are still $60 but there's a glitch in their site that's being fixed. Said it should be fixed today but it's not yet. Just checked ;0) I'll be ordering yet another one. Love my tornados. Love em.

 

[mphsjeep]

Yesterday they said the tornados were going to be $60 till the end of the month.....Screwdrivers are still on sale....if you do go with the tornado use my TW promo code, 31386, will give you basically free shipping.....sorry about the sike!


Oooooops, did not see the post above....

 

[robl45]

everyone still happy with their riva? I was looking at Ego but Riva is so much cheaper, two complete ecigs for a little over 30 dollars, who can complain about that? And I believe it was mentioned the voltage is 3.1 volts? Thats perfect. at 4.2 volts, my stuff tastes like crap and at 3.7 volts, its not much better. so I can get the voltage I want in something that will last me more than 2 hours.

how have the batteries lasted? do they last more than a month? my 510 batteries would die fast.

Liberty Flights have the Riva kit for $29.99. I bought a black one last week and am going to buy another tonight ( I really want the gold one but they were sold out last week). First battery lasted me 9.5 hours vs. the 2 hours I was getting on my Joye 510 batteries!

Rob, they come witha 3 month warranty on the 2 batteries so I'm just going to plan on buyinga kit every 3 months.
