which is better?

[han78]

I am new to vaping annd about to get the riva 1100 but my sister is now very interested in getting into vaping and likes both of these kits, she wants a smaller battery like the 510 but I think these are both the same size...........but which is a better kit? opinions would be very much appreciated

or

Both are the same size, slightly fatter than a ciggie, more cigar sized and both are 650 mAh

Personally i'd go for the cheaper one

Or go for this kit, these are 1100 mah batteries so will last twice as long between charges

[han78]

thanks for the replies, are the batteries different qualities?

[OneDay]

No, just different capacities - the higher the mah number the longer a battery will go between charges

[GothicLord]

Thats the kit I am using, it's great, I highly recommend it, the riva 1100 mah battery is a massive improvement on the little skycig battery. Its a very easy kit to use, and I' finding I only need to recharge that battery every 24 - 36 hours, and getting a consistent vape throughout use

The ego is regulated the riva unregulated. I think this means that the ego gives a constant output and the riva starts off giving a higher output but the power drops off!

Please feel free to correct or elaborate on this anyone

correct Karma

[han78]

so the ego is better lol? sorry that's maybe such a silly question but I have to check! and if she got the ego 650 and wanted a bigger battery could she just buy a 1100 and use all the other bits with it?

[Chrissie]

Han. it really is hard to say that the ego is better. But yes, if she bought the ego 650, then the Riva & any other 510 battery/cartomiser/clearomiser will be compatible with it

[Karma]

lol han,not a silly question, but it seems to be just a mater of opinion but yes, so long as any bigger battery had a 510 thread then everything in any of those kits will be compatible

Can't comment on the ego, but the riva 1100 is a fantastic bit of kit. Whichever you choose, stock up on cartomisers and juice! A mains powered USB device is handy so you don't need a pc running to be able to charge, although I also use a 12 volt USB adaptor for in-car charging.

Don't smoke, Vape!

the riva IS good, and I started on it (after the crappy cig-a-likes, which I don't even count).

however, with the riva, you can't use anything with a lower resistence than 2 (i think)....i can't remember the reason.....but say your sis wanted to get more throat hit and power and vapour etc from her set-up, with an ego she could use atties with a resistance of 1.8, say, which blows the socks off a bit...couldn't do that with a riva..

mind you, i find 2 or 2.4 on a 3.7 v device is usually enough...

apologies if this sounds too technical...

[han78]

thanks for all the advice and booblay I actually feel quite proud of myself.........I actually understood the technical stuff......after 4 days on this forum I am getting there lol!
