Try the "Ressurector" cartomizers from CCV. They are LR 1.7ohm. They are single coil but many people feel they produce as much vapor as many dualies.
They come in Black, Stainless, and Clear.

If you get a 5 pack from CCV he throws in a free syringe so their simple to fill. Free shipping also and he guarantees all carto purchases.

I'll second the resurrectors. My go-to carto along with the Boges. I have had more problems with clear cartos than any other kinds, be it the ce2, dual coil, etc. I think many have had these problems. I do like being able to see the juice level and stuff, but it seems like the plastic tubing causes a lot of issues, although it might be something else. The Boges and Resurrectors are rock solid.

Clears do give some problems. I have the black and clear ressurectors. I would recommend the black because they are metal and hold up veryy well. The clear ones are nice but they can break much easier than the metal ones. Thats really with all clear ones from any company.

Its not bad to try them tho, I did. 2 out of my 5 came loose on the metal part that screws into your PV. That wont happen on the black ones bc its all one piece. I emailed the guy from CCV and told him about it. Hes a really great guy and the next day I got an email that he sent me another 5 pack for free! Def get them from CCV!

The plastic tubes in most of them are prone to cracking. Recently manufacturers switched to different tube that do not crack. The new Ultimate/Deluxe CE2's do not leak and if you use less than 25-30% VG wick really well. They are worth a second look IMO.

Which Riva? Riva 510 then just about any 510-threaded clear carto though some people will not go as low as 1.5 ohms on enclosed batteries like Ego and Riva. A few have damaged clone Ego batteries.

If Riva 901 then try the KR808D-1 threaded ones but you may need an adapter to get decent airflow since 901 expects attys and cartos to have a hole in their side to let air in. You won't find 901 clear cartos. You could also use a 901 to 510 adapter and use 510 ones.

But warning - totally clear CE2 cartos and some others can crack or even fall apart. And CE2 may need mods to work properly. CE3 aka Smokymizer aka Deluxe Fluxomizer won't crack but some still get leaks. And most reservoir cartos require a syringe and work well with 20-30% VG.

I have an ego and I am using x2 clear dual coil xl 510 cartomizers. They work great no leaking. You can get a 5 pack from avid vaper at 12.00. a pretty good price. I have used the vortex 2 form got vapes and they leak. some more than others. But they have a good taste and vapor. But I have to use a kr808d-1 to 510 adapter. So good luck
