Trying to decide between the Screwdriver, GLV-2, and the Riva 510. Anybody with experience using these? Any replies would be helpful. I've got a Greensmoke on the way that I will more than likely send back. After watching videos reviewing different vaporizers and actually seeing the vapor production from each I've kinda narrowed it down to these three. Could somebody tell me something about the different tastes between the three? And maybe something about the ease of use, cleaning, maintenence, etc. I'm sure that all three of these are capable of big throat hits (from the amount of vapor I've seen them produce in the videos). Another thing I should mention is that costs are not a big issue. Thanks, I appreciate any replys. This forum has already taught me alot, I'm glad I found this place.

Thats the main reason that I'm on this forum right now, to get info before buying for "keeps". I dont want to end up with 3 or 4 different vaporizers in the junk drawer. I might as well go big right from the start, no need to build up to something bigger and badder. Also what is a good source for cartimizers and eliquid? I will be getting a 510.

GLV-2 is a 'better' PV than the Riva, but the Riva is in a different league... it's more of a long term disposable. I use one myself (Riva) and love it, but when you look to mods like the GLV-2, you're looking at a more permanent, top-end mod. At that point, the things to consider are whether you need variable voltage or not, and if you want a feeding system, like the Ali'i.

If you're unsure, the Riva could do you fine for a while (for just 30 bucks at Liberty Flights) until you decide on a more expensive model. If you're sure you don't need a true variable volt, you could go ahead and jump on the GLV now... it's a great PV. Solid as a tank.

hi there I have the RIVA 510 with Boge 2.0 cartomizer I love it. I have been vaping for almost 3 weeks as I was a smoker for almost 20yrs and I havent had a cig sence.. Did alot of research and came here and everyone said to try thr Riva 510 as it feels like a anolog. Nice throat hit and vaping. Libertyflights sells it.. But the Boge Riva 510 is sold with a case make sure you read all of them and you have to make sure if you get the Boge make sure you get more cartomizers... That are the Boge 510 2.0 hope that helps...

Before you buy, I would check out the Prodigy V3 from Puresmoker.com. I quit analogs the day I got my V3, and that's after 50+ years of smoking. It is a high-end, well-made and very dependable device. There is nothing like 6v for flavor, throat hit and overall vaping satisfaction. If you want to do it right the first time, I highly recommend the V3...

Both the Screwdriver and the GLV-2 are going to blow the Riva away because they're mods and use higher voltages. The Riva is a great PV, don't get me wrong because it was the first one my fiance and I used, but it's extremely outclassed by both of those. The Riva isn't designed to last for years like the SD and GLV-2, and you aren't going to get the same vaping experience from it. I agree with Bootsand. If you aren't sure you could start with the Riva and get some experience under your belt and then move up.

Could anyone tell me what the GLV-2 comes with? Do you have to buy the battery, atomizer, etc. separately? Their website is unclear. I have emailed them but so far no reply. Also does anyone know if there is a waiting period for the GLV-2? I need to know exactly everything I need to order for the GLV-2 so I can get everything at once, eliquid, batteries, attys, etc. I could not find a phone number for Great Lakes Vapor. Thanks
