So I Guess My Riva's Are Dead...

[[amp]]

Both of my Rivas have stopped working, one about a week ago and now the other about 5 minutes ago. They appear to be fully charged and will light up if I hold down the button but if I put an atomizer on them they just blink like their dead. Anyone else have this happen? Are they just done for or can they be revived? For now I guess Im back to my 808 with adapters so I can still drip.

I've had this happen, but it was a DOA atty. Try a diff. atty on it?

Tried that, with like 3 or 4 atty's, they all gave the same result.

My advice is get yourself or make yourself a Pass Through.

just wondering, How long did your Riva batteries last? The batts that came with my Riva 510 SE say they are good for 300 charges. I have two with this kit so I figure if I use one per day I should get almost two years out of them. batteries are cheap about 15 bucks if you consider they last at least a year it's a good deal.

One of my Riva batteries is doing the same thing. For some reason, it's not making a connection with the atomizers. I've tried fiddling with both the atomizer and the battery to improve contact, but nothing.

I've had my Riva 510 kit for about a month now. I'm noticing the batt life has diminished significantly. Part of this is me learning to 'hit' it properly and taking longer pulls, but after about 6 hours of vaping I can tell that I'm not getting as big a hit as I would on a fully charged batt.

Also, just a thought for you guys; Maybe too much juice got into the connector part of the batt and is partially shorting it out? I know I've cleaned mine out quite a few times. It's never stopped working because of the juice in there, but I've considered the possibility...

Wipe out the connection on the battery and on the charger. My fiance had an eGo battery that wouldn't take a charge. I cleaned off the threads on the battery and the charge and voila! It took a full charge once again.

Question - When and where did you purchase your now dead SE Rivas? If without atty you get lit button - use multimeter (in DC voltage mode) to see if you get voltage. Put red probe at center of depressed area where atty attaches and hold black probe to band where button is located or to threads just above while pressing button down long enough to get a read. If zero read - dead. If 4 volts or so - connection problem. Are you saying that when you put atty on and press button that LED starts blinking like ten times then goes out?
