Michelle, I'm not sure which "that" (from your first sentence) you are referring to. One of the models mentioned in the post just before yours (i.e., mine)? If so, which one? The Riva-901
is "just a 901
threaded riva" and you'll notice that I cautioned about its compatibility with Kr8 cartomizers. [I have read that some
do work on it. I'm not sure which types.]
The Elegant, however, was designed
specifically for the Kr8 cartomizer by an exclusively Kr8 supplier ... as were the Defender and the PigCig, which followed. And, yes, they also work just fine with 901 atty (as do all Kr8 batteries). And (with the appropriate adapter) they work great with
other attys. [Since I don't particularly like cartos myself – and since I don't own a 510-based fat batt (ala eGO) – I've been using my Elegant batteries primarily with LR 306 attys.]
Mr. God, I'm going to assume for the moment that I am one of those you feel have been "pushing mods" and/or told the OP that his enthusiasm was unfounded.
To clarify: the fat batts are not mods. [Mods are battery
housings; the fat batts are
batteries with far higher mAh than those that came before.] They are wider (but no longer) than the skinny batts. In fact my 750 mAh Elegant is a bit shorter than the standard 280 mAh Kr8. And, as a fat batt user (who started with the 280 mAh Kr8 18 months ago): No, I am not impressed by 320 mAh.
As for dampening enthusiasm, I am not one of those who has slammed the OP (although my
first impression of his review was similar to many here). [There are a fair number of folks who join ECF, post a sufficient number of times to be released from the New Members forum, only to promote a product ... never to be seen again. Forgive oldbies like me for being wary of an over-the-top review (by someone with the current month's join date) of a brand name that hasn't had the best rep in the past.]
And I do think it is appropriate to post counterpoints (reasoned and with civility) to a review. In my case, I acknowledged my consciousness-raising and I praised the aspect of the PV that impressed me: the cartomizer. As for the aspect which doesn't impress me (the $20 320 mAh battery), I offered alternatives for the consideration of others reading the thread.
Finally, what do you have against veterans? Have I or other old-timers mocked you for your more recent embracing of ECF and/or vaping? I
welcome the fresh perspective of newer vapers. I do request that veterans like me (or Vapenstein, who is vaping savvy but not an ECF "veteran") be afforded a modicum of mutual respect. Take a look at
his blog sometime and tell us what you think of his contribution to vaping. [So, he dripped in a cartomizer while still on the battery. That rates a chuckle, not a bash. As a 510 man, he's new to this cartomizer stuff and to auto batts.]
Looking forward to it..
...Good review OP. Just knock that dirt off your shoulder, and keep on reviewing
