My new Riva

[shelly999]

I have taken delivery of my new Riva this morning, both batteries are flat so i can't try it until they have been charged i thought they would have come charged up !

Sorry to hear that shelly, it's a surprise that both are flat, they usually come with a bit of a factory charge.
Have you clicked the button 3 times to switch it on? And then hold the button down for the whole time you're taking a puff?

[Karma]

Have you got them working yet shelly?

[VE Jason]

Turn them on Shelley (3 clicks) - they should be fully charged

[shelly999]

Oh how stupid am i ? i didn't turn it on !

[shelly999]

Thanks to all, and thank you Jason for speedy delivery, now i am going to do some serious vaping, no more nasties !!

[Ellen]

Glad you got it working Shelly enjoy, you're in for a fun day

Not stupid at all, we all have to learn these things, it's a safety feature for no accidental firing

Well i have been using my riva for 4 hours now, i have used nearly half the clearomiser of cherry e liquid already....i can definately tell the difference between using the riva and the normal cig look alikes, each inhale i can feel the throat hit, and lots of vapour, definately great purchase, i am just going to need to stock up on e juice i think, does the blue led flash when the battery is flat ?

[Gordy]

great news Shelly yeah i believe the button will flash when it needs a charge

Believe me shelly we have all felt stupid at times when we started, it is a lot to take in. My all time favourite was when somebody posted that they were having difficulties in filling something with e-liquid. Lots of technical reasons were suggested for the problem until somebody said "you are squeezing the bottle I suppose?"

Glad to hear you are up & running with your Riva, Shelley

Lol Dave, I still grin about that thread

Well 31 hours in and i am still using the same battery and not had to charge it up yet, wow impressed ..... i took it out with me last night to our local pub, had a few stares and one lady asked me what it was, when i explained she said "well done keep it up" i have had to fill up my clearomiser a fair few times, 3 times yesterday and twice today, does that seem like a lot ?
