What's the better deal?

[Pamster]

Hhey guys, I want to ask your opinion on what deal is the best, like the PV is the best quality, this first one has a 900maH battery and lots of stuff:

Joye eGo MEGA Kit(900mA battery in 7 colors) [Joye eGo] - $55.00 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail

then this is the Riva kit I am thinking of getting:

www.EastMall.net Eastmall International Co.,Ltd

This one has a 750 maH on an eGo:

EM Riva Starter Set (Black) - $52.99 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce

And finally:

Joye eGo Starter Kit

I am guessing the Greenhouseone one has a 600 maH batt from the size of it.

Is the Riva the best at 40 bucks? or should we go eGo with Greenhouseone for 50? Or is the second kit with the 900 maH eGo better then a Riva? Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

I have bought 4-5 eGo sets... and three of them contained a defective battery.
Not the supplier's fault... this just happens.
In each case, the supplier sent me a new batt without even seeing my defective one...
I paid $6-$10 more than your deals...

So, I guess I would say, buy from the most reputable of he bunch.
I have only heard of two of those suppliers, and I have no experience buying from them.

I would ask if the batteries are Genuine "Joye" Ego batts. Cignot is pretty much a Joye supplier and they offer the Ego battery in 650mah and 1000mah. If there are other battery sizes, I'd want to know that they were made or at least sold by the same company who made the Ecig and not a knock-off product.

I've had my Ego w/650mah batts for 3 months and I'm still getting an all day vape out of each battery. If I have to change batts it is usually past dark.

Numbers 1,2 and 4 ship from China.

IMO numbers 1 and 4 overprices like for product from China.

#3 is EstMall - also from China, but I've seen lots of positive feedback for this supplier on this forum. + price somehow reasonable.


electronic-ash seems to be US supplier with a Buffalo, NY phone number, 14 days defect warranty and free shipping over $20.00. More info on this forum Electronic Ash - E-Cigarette Forum


I would go with US supplier even if price would be up to 50% higher, but in this case your final (after shipping) cost will be lower with electronic-ash.

P.S. My opinion based on information you provided, I haven't used any of suppliers on your list.

Greenhouseone has Janty eGos, and they are warrantied for one year. I would go w/ that. Also, he just announced today in the sale thread that for $4 extra you can get the mega batts 1000mAh.

Wow thanks LowThud! That might be well worth doing, the only thing that makes me think of the Riva is that I read somewhere that they have a switch or something in the battery that keeps it from having a eGo like epic fail with property damage. Anyone know if that's true? I've read about eGo's having some pretty epic failings of the batteries. Thanks for the replies everyone, I appreciate the time you took to check these deals out.

The only thing I've heard about the riva switch is that it is rubber and domed, and therefor more confortable than the eGo switch(manual button). Maybe someone else knows of another problem. I know the T-Rex is known to be plagued with all kinds of problems, but I haven't had many. The only batt I had die, died after a month when some debris from a failed carto ended up in the batt connector and shorted it out. I love my xl batt, I would highly recomend upgrading to the mega batts for only $4.

Pretty suer teh riva is an SLB or BOGE made...ego is Joye brand.

Some eGos had a button stick issue that was easily remedied with a twist of the button. I love the eGo, and yes the button is "flat"..I just glued a rhinestone on mine to round it up a bit....very comfortable now. Guys could use a plain bead or something else.

 

[Pamster]

I am torn between the riva kit from EA and the eGo kit from Greenhouse one LowThudd, thanks for your reply!

Yep it's SLB, is that bad The Big Chief?

A rhinestone sounds awesome! WTG classwife!
