Thinking about stepping up to 901 LR????

[ymgie]

Its time for me to order new attys for my Riva 901 (3.7 v), But i cant decide on the usual bulk pack from Vapor Kings or should I finally go with the bulk 901 LRs . Im just worried about the trade off between performance and atty life. Im getting major vapor from the standards , but wouldnt mind a little more warmth to the vapor and i dont want to waste my $$$$ ????? I'm just stuck on this one
Anyone got any experience with these ?

I use LR 901's from IkenVape, but these are 1.8Ω and not really suited for use on the eGo/Riva batts. The reason is these batts have a MOSFET switch that doesn't tolerate the heat that well. If the switch gets fried, then you've just lost that batt. If you can find some that are 2.0Ω then you might be okay using them as long as you don't let them get too hot.

I really like the 901's and I think they produce better vapor and flavor than the 510's, although I'll still use the 510's occasionally.

I dont wanna fry my batt ! Ild be lost without my Rivas and the way I "hotbox" it now , I'd blow that sucker up in a heartbeat w/ 1.7 LRs lol . Ive gotta say , I haven't tried a 510 yet but ive heard that the flavor isnt as good as 901s. That's why i chose the 901 Riva over the 510. Im getting GREAT flavor and vapor dripping but the vapor just isnt as warm as my 808 cartos (the only thing good about my 808s...)Thanx for the intel WomanOfHeart.....

I use the 901 1.8 ohm LR's from VaporKings, and have no complaints about their performance or atty life. I do think that the LR's diminish the taste of my juice a bit, but that is to be expected. I can't comment on the Riva experience as I use these atties on my Omega (mod.

I'd hate to give up any flavor.. Is the trade off worth losing a bit of flavor ? I'm working on a couple 3.7 mod ideas , and it might be worth trying on one when i dont have to worry about killing my batt ...

Not a fan of the lost flavour too. It works well with some flavours, and not with others. I think a lot depends on what you're vaping. Sweeter juices don't seem to do that well. What are you vaping anyway?

Right now i'm vaping a mix of desert ship and Wyatt Earp with a couple drops of esspresso from freedomsmokes.... Its a nice blend for me

Those should be ok, I think in the 901 1.8 ohms..

I think they are listed as 1.7 but hit between 1.7 and 2.1 (from the reviews) It's the best deal on attys ive seen (standard and LR)
Ive seen and heard people complain about vapor production on 901s but ive never had a problem with them...odd...

(side note) Im going to my niece's house in a bit for my great nieces 3rd birthday . Im bringing all my vaping arsenal to try to convert my niece from analogs lol ... wish me luck

 

[WomanOfHeart]

Good Luck with your niece! I don't understand why people complain about the lack of vapor from the 901's, either. Mine produces just as much, if not more, than my 510's. Maybe they just aren't doing it right? LOL!

I'm sure the 901's produce MORE than the 510's in the vapor dept. The biggest issue with them has been that they leak out of the side hole, but the dripshield takes care of that.
