Uh...ya. So Ive been slacking and need to know the primary difference between these such as atty/carto connectivity, reg/LR compatibility, mah rating, voltage ect. Id imagine the last two would be the same or similar but what do I know lol?

And if you feel so inclined, Id love to hear about why some might prefer one over the next.

Thanks a bunch!

Oh my, I forgot the kgo... where oh where does it end haha.

I metered(tested volts) eGo's and Riva's.
eGo 650mAh = 3.3-3.4v
eGo-T 1100mAh = 3.4v
Riva 750(actually a 650)mAh=3.7
Riva SE = 4.1-4.2V

I found my Rivas metered higher even after an hour of heavy use. I sold off the eGo due to its poor performance. Once you leave the 650/750mAh and go higher on the batteries, NONE of them goes over 3.4v. Not even Riva. I also find the Riva to be cheaper on initial purchase.
This being true, I found that Rivas have more technical issues when first purchased, so buy from a supplier with a battery guarantee- I like Liberty Flights, as they send replacement with a postage paid return envelope. So I dont CARE if the batteries have more DOA. Its covered.
Kgo is just the name for the higher mAh battery. This one meters at 3.4v

Hi Pamdane,

Curious to know if the Riva SE at 4.1-4.2 is under load or straight off the charger with no load.

Also... Just wanted to correct your comment referencing KGO's voltage. Straight off the charger with no load is ~4.1v. Under load it's ~3.8v. HoosierEcig Supply has a video referencing this test. It can be found at the following link... Scroll down the page about 1/3 to find the vid:

I meter after a half to an hour after vaping off the battery.

I looked into Kgo last week, thanks for the info. What I found was all over the board for them. Your referencing the 1300mAh, correct? I ended up deciding it was too big for me :)

Nope... 1100mah. Not to big.:)

If you could check out the short video.. It explains what 'under load' means. I'm trying to figure out when you meter... if your number of 4.1-4.2 is taken 'under load'. Sorry, I should have explained myself more clearly. Thanks.

The Kgo 1100 is the same size as an ego 1,000. The Kgo voltage is definately 4.2 off the charger.:2cool:

Don't forget the IGO and Echo!!! Loving the IGO for several reasons!! #1. Battery Charge is great! #2. Carts hold about 3.0 +/- mil of liquids which will last me for awhile topping them off maybe 2x a day #3. Love that I can put my KR808 carts on the IGO and get a great vape!! This allows me to sample new liquids without having to waste the big carts. Oh did I mention my supplier is also the best with the best pricing!! D and B Gold - Home $40 for the 650 mah and $45 for the 1300 mah. Not only does he have great prices but the service is top notch with lightning speed shipping!! Did I say he has a sale now? With each purchase of a kit you get a box of cartomizers and a couple of other goodies! Just another perk from D&B!

I love my 650 IGO!! I fits perfectly in my hand, charge lasts all day. I could not be more pleased. Bill at D & B Gold has fantastic prices and customer service. If you are looking for a great kit, check him out.
