I have a KGO. It's an Ego clone with an 1100 mAh battery. Can't say enough good about it - rocks :) All three you mentioned have 510 connections so attys and cartos would be interchangeable. These are the three I suggest when friends want to make the switch. KGO at top of list because of the long batt life and extra voltage. Good luck!

If this is going to be your first kit you won't go too far wrong with any of them, so I suggest looking at price. The kgo (slb ego) usually works out to be a good bang for buck choice because you get a 1100mah batt that's been getting good reviews.

If this is your second kit, I recommend looking at the mods. For example, a replacement battery for my e-power runs about 6.50, lots better than 16.50 lol.

Sometimes people have trouble fitting those Joyetech Ego Mega cartos (the reservoir ones) on clones because Joyetech makes them to very tight specifications to fit their Ego

Riva 510 may be slightly higher voltage than Ego
Riva 510 can use a Riva 901 cone if you want a short cone for over plain cartomizers (L-F sells individual Riva 901 cones)
If you buy a Riva 510 get it at Liberty-Flights.com and press the 20% off on front page. L-F always has the latest Riva version because they sell so many.

With the 20% off L-F's Joye Ego prices are good too. Do not buy an Ego anywhere that doesn't list it as Joye. One place sold "Ego" and when the person got it it was a Riva. Riva's great but the person wanted Ego.

Ego-T batteries might have a 5 presses to disable the battery, 5 to reenable? (so like an on/off switch)

And note - if you already have a slim 510 - do not charge the slim 510 in the fast charger cable of the Ego or Riva - it can damage slim 510. I labeled my Riva charger cable to make sure I don't do that. And do not use LR (low resistance parts) on the slim 510 - those are only meant for batteries 400mah or greater.
