Upgrading--Need HELP...EGO or RIVA????

[humarock]

Okay, yeah, only 9 days in and looking for the ultimate vape experience...LOL...so I have a 902 (like a 510) and I'm FORever (oh, wait gotta do it now) switching out the batts and my pcc can't keep up...looking for LASTING batt power, better draws, and right now I'm filling my own carts, not bad when I'm at home vaping my brains out here on ECF (which I'm forever on)but when driving or working, I need something I can really go with....I currently will drop a few drops on my atty when I fill my cart (which is now at 4 times a day)and that gives me a wonderful draw, but naturally it gets old quick...my draws right now are not consistant, after filling and dripping onto atty, it is great for about 6 draws...and come on now, you KNOW i'm puffing for about an hour straight wilst sitting here...LOL...

SO, wouldn't mind being able to drip as well, as I LOVE assorted flavoring....

If you had to be my 'personal shopper' what would you buy me? Currently my PV stash is: 902, two atty's, two batts, PCC with the wall charger (PCC will be gone, really want a quicker charger, don't need the carry case which with refillable carts just gets MESSY!)refillable carts and blu foam, two pre-filled carts, 10 empty carts...don't want to spend a .... load, already 81 in....so help me shop folks....need PV and accessories absolute and supplier....ready SET shop!!! Let me hear ya folks!

As im still a noob, cant say for certain. But for the experts to help you i would ask,
Does Size make a Differance?
Is there a Price range you are looking at?
Are you opposed to mod's? (like a juice box)
Are you a chain vapor(er?)?
Are you interested in variable voltage?
Im sure there are more, but that might help the "experts" narrow down your range...

Most will recommend the Ego or Riva. Personally for a few bucks more I'd get the Ego Mega. You can get one bat and a charger for less than $30. It's 510 compatible too so you're atty's and carts are still useable. Run time will be about 4-5 times that of a standard 510. Try Joyetech E Cigarette | Joye E Cig Products in our Joye E Cigarette Selection. Good prices and great service.

I have a Riva kit (as well as an Ego mega batt) - the button on the Riva is much nicer. Very happy with it.

I have both the eGo and Riva and like them both for different reasons, tho I prefer the eGo a bit more. One important thing to take into consideration for either is a good warranty...I had 2 Riva batts die within hours of each other, 20 days after purchase, no big deal tho...I had a warranty. And from what I've read, you can run into the same issues with the eGo.
Liberty Flights has the best deal going right now on eGos IMO, 20% off total purchases (the site has a link to the code), 2.99 flat rate s/h in the states and a 6 month warranty on the batts. It's a good idea to purchase a couple of back up batts just in case you end up with both of them dying back to back like mine did.
Have fun shopping!

I'd go with a riva 180 day warranty. Better than Janty's warranty and they will back it up. https://strictlyejuice.com/index.ph...ducts_id=389&zenid=n1t24d7qsouprvgmo38u90lsj2

So the Riva is NOT an EgO rebranded?

I was under the assumption it was like the 510/Dura/Titan relationship, same thing different brand names.

 

[son et lumiere]

It's like an ego clone but it has a higher battery capacity 750mah vs 650mah a lot of people prefer the button on the riva vs the ego. But for the price and the warranty you cant beat it.

+1 on the Riva kit from Strictly E-Juice. You won't beat $53.95 & free shipping. While you're there, get one of these: https://strictlyejuice.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=64_66_84&zenid=anio80gkrepk52ml8q5vab06d3.

The eGo line does have the advantage of a large capacity battery (at 1000 mAh, larger than both the eGo's standard 650 mAh or the Riva's 750 mAh), but you can get it here Joye eGo Manual Battery (1000 mAh), and it'll be interchangeable with the rest of the Riva stuff. Not bad for $18.99.

I have 3 Riva kits I got from Vapor Junction $49.95 with the coupon code they are $50.60 shipped. I also use 510 mega atty's and carts. I love them, also I was told the new Rivas will have 1300 mah batteries!!!!!

i'll go for the ego. Greenhouseone offers 1 year warranty and the price is cheap $50. for $100 you'll get 2x 30ml of e-juice, an extra atomizer, and 5pcs. of mega cartomizers.

Been using an ego mega with my 510 and am very happy with it.getting about 10 to 14 hours per charge.

I forget to mention the coupon code (thanks for the reminder). Use Strickly E-juice's code during checkout: 10percent. That'll bring the Riva kit down to $48.56 out-the-door.

Okay, so I ordered the JoyeEgo from Cignot, which was priced very well an FREE shipping....ordered up some carts and atty's as well...then went and ordered a new reg charger (not a pcc) for my 902 as it is really a 510 that I can interchange....and will now resume my stalking the mail lady! LOL...thanks for all the tips! Looking forward to this journey...and I'm sure that when ModernVapor releases the Lux, I'll be getting that one too...LOL..it looks SHARP! Cignot has an awesome batt charger that holds 10, yes TEN batts at one time...hee hee hee hee...I can see that as being a purchase in the near future....

Glad you made the purchase, now....no stalking the mailman, lol! What is Cignots warranty policy on the eGo batts? Also, on the batt charger, do they charge eGo and eGoxl batts? That might be a nice purchase .

Well humarock, I think you made the right choice with the eGo. I've read several posts about the great warranty that Riva has with their batteries and that they had their batteries replace due to failure. Seems to me that too many of the Riva batteries fail. Haven't seen many complaints about the eGo batteries. I have a Tornado which is actually an eGo. My 650 mah batteries serve me just fine. They last a full day of heavy vaping. Check out the eGo Mega Carts with the Mega Atty's. Fantastic vapor production and holds a lot of juice, so you won't be fill or topping off as often.

Actually, I got a Riva one week after I got my eGo, and one of my eGo batteries died after three weeks while the Riva continues.

OK, I'm sure this has been discussed somewhere, but how do you get the little logo on the bottom of your posts that say "I have been smoke free for:..."? This is my first post to ANY forum, I mainly just lurk so if I sound green it's because I am.

Thanks

First, check out little girl's 2-page blog in which she displays a pretty large collections of banners.

Click on one you like, and a page will open in which you enter the pertinent info (date you quit smoking, number of cigarettes per day you were smoking, etc.) The page will generate codes for you, Then follow these instructions:

•You can paste the code that gets generated for you into the edit box as if you were writing a message. Note that you need to make sure to use BB code and not HTML code. Some banner sites also generate HTML code, and that won't work in the forums.
•You can copy just the URL from the code that gets generated and paste that into the Option 1 box. Note that this won't work for some banners

I found personally that the second option didn't work, but the first did.

In any event, if you get a chance, drop little girl a line to thank her, if you get a chance. I copied & pasted all the above instructions from a message she sent me.

Thanks for the response PI,

I realized after I posted that there was already a thread related to this, but couldn't figure out how to delete my post.

On a more related note: I have an eGo that I'm very happy with but have no experience with the RIVA so it may be just as good.
