PsychoMaster Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 (edited) Well, seeing the deal they had with the 20% discount, I just had to order a Riva kit for my mom. One of my fiance's roommates wanted one as well, since they came out to only $30. The only problem it that I am in college and the mail doesn't run Fri-Sun, so I got no way of checking on the kit and seeing if anything is DOA yet (gotta love tracking and knowing it's here, but not allowed to touch it)... But I will update this when I actually get the kits for those 2 in my hands. Hope they like em. P.S. I ordered at like 8:30pm on the second and it got to the college's campus safety/mail room today (the fifth). Tell me that ain't some speed!

egoluvr Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I hope they like them. I'm pretty sure they will. I bought one just to check it out for myself in comparsion to my eGO and i'm very pleased. I"m going to pick up a couple more for gifting. DerStadtschutz, nana and egoluvr 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychoMaster Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 Totally worth the cheap price then? I know the old saying "you get what you pay for", but a lot of people have said good things about the Riva, so I hope its all good. Kinda sad though. My new 5-pack of attys is there and I want to see if the "knock-offs" are as good as "name-brand". I gotta use my cartos for now, but they are due to be tossed/cleaned.

Beans Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I have a Riva set and 3 eGos. I prefer my Riva for 2 reasons. 1 the battery lasts a little longer 2 the button is rubber and never sticks. The eGo always sticks on me, and burns up my cartos. The finish is not as nice on the Riva, but I could care less about that. They work great. I hope everyones happy.

egoluvr Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Yup I feel its totally worth the cheap price. Beans- I like the button better on the Riva as well, and I noticed also that the battery lasts a bit longer than my eGo too. I still have mad love for my eGO after all it's the one that got me to put out those cancer sticks for good DerStadtschutz and egoluvr 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwsmith1778 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Are the Riva batteries interchangable with the Ego/510 batteries/atty's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egoluvr Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Yes MW they are interchangeable, I have the riva and the eGo and have interchanged everything, attys, chargers, etc. egoluvr, DerStadtschutz and mwsmith1778 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsychoMaster Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 Man, the Riva rocks! I got the package and gave it to my fiance's roommate. She had to let it charge first, but tried it for a sec and loved it! I am kind of jealous, as I spent around $65 on my Tornado kit and this was $30! The button is cooler, LOVE blue! The gold looks cool, but the freaking awesome thing is the hit! I only tried the menthol on it to test it, and it was AWESOME. Then again, it might be the atties. I bought a five-pack from them (they gave me one free, so i got SIX!!!) to see if they were as good as a Joye atty. They are not. They are better! Every one of them I have tried hits like a champ! I feel like I am vaping lr atties, and they are supposed to be standard. Liberty-Flights and a couple other awesome vendors will be seeing much more business from me.

DerStadtschutz Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 You can also get a Riva kit from www.vapor-ize.com, but it's not quite as cheap as liberty flights. I got mine for like $35 around christmas time thanks to a christmas sale and coupon code. Liberty Flights was out of stock at the time. As for the Riva atomizers, I think one of mine is a dud. They both work. I haven't touched either one in a while, but the one I did use for a little bit seems to be very hit or miss. Sometimes it'll hit just fine, but other times, I don't seem to get much vapor at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheshyl Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I love my eGo but with all the good reviews about the riva I think I'm going to order one. Just one more back up joining the many I have stored away. Have a great day everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steeldragon Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I love my Riva 1100, I haven't tried the Ego but went there from the Kr808 and was like wow. What a difference. I guess will probally break down and try the Ego one day but in no hurry. The Riva is doing the trick for me. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
