Hello & welcome from me Mark.

[markiesmoke]

Thanks everyone. Vape escape sounds great. U should get some affiliate links going on!!!

I just saw a review of the riva and it looks pretty big??? Is it big or did the guy have very little hands?

Ok, so if I buy the pretty ones for my wife, can she use the stuff I get with the riva if I buy that??

I like the look of the black riva....

Yes I use the rebuildables visions on mine. I have 2 of the little pretty batteries (best get 2 so you can use one and charge one) the 650 won't last as long as the longer ones but with the visn on it looks like a lip gloss

These ones?

Hi Mark, that's now 4 and counting that have joined lately from Hertfordshire,I am predicting the free bottle from puffin will be.............................Red bull,now you can see if I am a bit mystic

Just read your signature alanfinal, and when I go out the back at home I keep looking to flick it in the ashtray lol. I can safely remove the ashtray now as I have no use at all for it. I'll probably keep going for it anyway

Hello again everyone.

So I took the plunge and ordered a riva 1100 with an extra small flowery battery for my wife.

To tell u the truth we were pretty shocked by the size of them... The smaller 650 may be ok but it's still very fat. Was kinda expecting a little bigger than a standard cig but not this big.. Then there's the 1100 which is pretty mahoosive!!

Currently caught between a rock and a hard place as I've spent a lot of money and can't see this being something I will take out with me and use as I have been using the other one I have... I think I want something smaller and not sure is vape escape will let me swap this????

Any suggestions?

[bennyboy]

Contact the guy at vape escape, I believe his name is Jason? The vendors who advertise on this site are very helpful.

If you end up having to keep them, PM me and I'm sure we can sort something out.

[markiesmoke]

Any suggestions for replacement if they are ok with it?

I was looking at the Innokin 510 batteries or Kr808d as they look regular type size....

I feel silly for not realising before buying...

Thanks

You'd be best sticking to 510 fittings as they appear to be pretty much be the industry standard from what I've seen.

Always worth checking out some vids on youtube before buying anything imo.

Mark, honestly you will get used to the size The Riva 1100 is only about the size of a cigar & anything smaller would drive you nuts due to battery life.

Agree with his 100% now!!

Jason just emailed and said I could send it back for a refund then choose something else..

Second that

Honestly mate, I reckon you'll be kicking yourself in 3-4 weeks if you send the Rivas back and go for a mini cigalike. I started off on a SkyCig (like the small Aio/510 thingies), and the constant charging of batteries was driving me nuts within a month

I admit I find the 1100 Rivas a tad on the large side, but the 650's are a really good compromise between battery life and performance. However, if even the 650's seem a bit big to you then these might be the way to go:
