It appears to me that the Riva 510 and Ego are the same connection, but I only have the Ego. The description also says for the Ego or Riva 510.



It looks like these would fit. Does this look like your Riva? Anyone with the Riva 510 confirm?

Yeah that's my Riva connection. But if you go to the link and enlarge the picture to the left of where it says £1.39 it looks like it won't fit?

"Suitable for 510 threaded devices with a crown (i.e. eGo and Riva due to the raised atomizer connection)."

I'm not quite sure what that means....are there different types of Riva connections?

Sounds like they'd fit to me, and they look like great value too. In fact, I might add some to my juice order I placed with them, just incase I end up getting a device they'll fit lol.

Speaking of which, I was set on getting a lavatube but almost everywhere seems to be out of stock. Anyone know if it's just a temporary supply issue or are they not making them anymore (I read something to that effect somewhere but it wasn't really clear)? Don't want to buy if I can't get kit for it anytime soon.

It just means that the carto screws onto the cone threads on an ego/riva type... it would not thread onto a lavatube without an ego adapter.

You're good, don't cancel.

Ah ok thanks everyone. I see now they are just thicker than my normal cartos and screw into the cone threads like runout_mick says. Good job I asked here first

Nevermind, I just spoke to my brother who doesn't use his ego-t anymore, so I'm having that off him. Bonus.

edit: Damn, those Kanger cartos are out of stock now

Just in case someone else has the same question but still doesn't see the difference, the 510 connector on the lavatube models are flush with the top of the tube:



On an Ego or Riva, the 510 connection is elevated, and there's another set of outside threads:



That's why you need an adapter for the Stardust / Elegance / Vision Ego Clearomizer with a lavatube. The male 510 thread is inset in this clearomizer and won't reach the lavatube 510 connection. It was designed to attach it to an Ego or Riva with the raised 510 connection and outside threads:





So, any 510 should fit an ego/riva, but if something is made specifically for the Riva/Ego connection, you might need a 510/Ego adapter to use it on the lavatube:



I've actually pulled out my ego battery again, so I can grab any of three flavors. Congrats on making the switch!

Got these through the door today.

They are massive!! I'm gonna be all self conscious in public
Pretty much exact same length and thickness as the Riva battery (not including the mouthpiece). Not a fan of the mouthpiece, prefer my driptip but it won't fit on these.

Anyway the important part is they vape well but had to let the juice soak/sink for 30mins.

Bargin for the price so far

I got my e-liquids from there today too, so 2 days from ordering. Got a few of the 5ml fruit flavours to try out and see what I like. Bit surprised they can send them just in a jiffy bag with the postman.

I'm trying them out with the e-lites cartos for now, as I haven't been to pick up my brother's ego yet. I think I overfilled on my first try, had a bit of leakage. The strawberry flavour is very mild (although I didn't clean the carto out or anything first), but gave good vapour production.

Happy World Vaping Day!

anyone tried any good new juices lately? i've been vaping RAWR's truth serum for a while now. I always try out another 1 or 2 flavors each time I place an order, and really like Antidote with my last order, which is a lemon/berry combo. Would love to try some new flavors, preferably fruits and the like.

Which Riva did you get? mine is the 1100 mAH and will last me from 7am to about 11pm and I vape pretty heavliy all day.

You wont be disapointed with it, I have an Ego-T as well and the Riva is by far my favorite battery.

Red Hots from colorado e-smokes is high on my list but its REALLY expensive so I ordered the stuff to make my own, we shall see how that goes as I also ordered Mary Jane Flavoring to make some of that as well.

My other goto vapes have been watermelon, Blue berry, and Red Bull from myfreedomsmokes.com

The Blueberry from colorado e-smokes is amazing as well but I cant justify 20 bucks for 15ml

I've had my Riva since July and love it, I was talking about the new cartos I bought

I'd like to find some new juices too. I've gone through most of Backwoods Brew juices and have a roster of about 10 flavors that I can depend on. For anyone interested, he has some new juices that have received a lot of praise. Orchard Frost is one I plan to try out soon. There is also a Berry Bliss for people into fruits. I also like the Malty. It's a good juice to help clean out flavors from an atty. It has this airy feel to it - it's almost unflavored, but has a taste of cotton candy. It's a pretty unique juice.

BTW, the Apollo Vtube warranty only applies to defective items. I dropped mine and the atty doesn't screw in straight. They offered me a 20% discount on another that expires in a few days.

I love Rawrs flavors, but they just will not hit in my cartos the same way Volcanos does. Frustrating

try a different mix of PG/VG?

Okay, so I'm a hopeless smoker and I'm thinking of biting the bullet and getting an electronic cigarette. If nothing else, if I could not be giving money to tobacco companies anymore it would make me feel better about myself.

I am really struggling to understand all the ins and outs though. The OP to this thread is a great starting point, but still a bit overwhelming, so please excuse some newbie questions.

How much does smoking e-cigs cost in comparison to the real thing? It will depend on the juice I'm sure, but is it cost effective in general? (I paid $18 for a pack of 20 yesterday, so it has to be better than that)

Will buying a particular starter kit restrict options dramatically down the track (like choosing between Nikon and Cannon when buying a camera)? Trying to work out if I'm best off just jumping into the market then working everything out, or if I should try to get my head around everything first.

I would want something discreet, are there downsides to smaller batteries other than the obvious smaller capacity?

Along the same lines, I also have no interest in an LED light that makes it resemble an actual cigarette. Silly as it is, the aesthetics will be important if this is to work for me, as I'll feel self-conscious with anything that draws attention to itself. Any suggestions for discreet/nicely designed e-cigs out there?

Finally, does an e-cig accompany coffee as well as an actual cigarette?

Thanks in advance for any responses

Also curious if anyone has any opinions on these starter kits:

Ive tried a few, including the closest to Volcano as possible. Just cant get it right

GL, we will help you understand I'm sure
It's waaaay cheaper. e.g. I buy juice 100ml a pop for ~£90 (expensive) - that lasts ~6 months. buying pre-filled carts is a huge mistake and can be very expensive, in addition to being one of the worst performing options.
the two stater kits you linked in your 2nd post have a "510 style" connector - this is one of a handful of generic thread connections, def the most recommended. most all things come out with a 510 connector. so no, buying a 510 starter kit won't "lock you out" of many other options later down the line. don't worry too much about this anyway, all the stuff will eventually break anyhow and a new kit is not expensive.

It is hard to convince newbies of this but after not long you won't care near so much for discretion most of the time. function >>> form for most people here. that said, an ego-510 isn't too bad at performing and was the general noob recommendation prior to the invention of the lavatube (mini). I'd def go for the lavatube mini, no flashy leds and while still quite large (mostly fat) it is easily pocketable / can be held concealed almost entirely enclosed in a fist. With any starter kit, also get multiple varieties of carto / atty to go with it, well worth trying the options to see what you like.

Newff linked a few posts up (maybe in the old thread) a very cool small device, I forget the name. unfortunately long waiting list for the handmade high quality devices.
For me, absolutely! and beers

Cheers Dave! When you say buying pre-filled carts is a huge mistake, what do you mean exactly? Does the paraphernalia @ 4.15 in this video give me the scope to avoid pre-filled carts?



Also, when I talk about the design, I think it's more than just discretion I'm after. I've given much thought to why I've had so much trouble kicking my smoking habit. Obviously number 1 on the list is physical addiction. But there are a range of other factors at play, and though I'd like to pretend otherwise, image comes into it. I like the look of smoking. I'm not smart enough to unpack the exact reasons, but it fits into a style I like. So from that point of view, I look at buying one of these as kind of like buying a watch. Are there many models out there that are small and sleek but still offer good functionality?

When is the E-alcohol gonna happen?

I finally got my liquids and cartzilla (and some boges) from ecigexpress and can finally start vaping today!!

First impressions are that it's more smoke than an analog (I don't mind) but the menthol that I have isn't as minty as I'd like. Regardless, just happy as hell to not be inhaling all the chemicals, etc. finally.

Anyone see these? The guy in town that I get my liquid from gave me a few of these. It's a low resistance 510 atty with a tank on top. It's basically the same as the Ego-T att's just not a cone and the tank is a different shape. I threw it on my prodigy and then my Ego battery. It's ok and actually works better than the Ego-T atty, probably because it's Low Resistance. The hole in the top is a little too small though so it doesn;t get very good airflow and traps vapor.



Here are some juices that I bought.
