Need to move on from Skycig - advice needed

[gillian]

Hi again,

I have been using my Skycig now for three weeks and have got to the end of my tether with the batteries!

Please could I ask for some suggestions to upgrade to something that has a better battery life?

I have lots of cartos and liquid but am willing to buy something that isn't 510 compatible if needs be.

Than you

Go for the Riva, I got mine last week and its the best thing ever! Jason at VapeEscape does a good starter kit for £34.99 and you get a further 10% discount if you use 'allabout' in the discount bit. (Sorry not sure how to put a link in from my iPad). Get some juice and away you go.

Oh and it's all compatible with the Skycig too, so n need to waste any cartridges.

No need at all to buy something that isn't 510 compatible

This kit from ecigwaizard is a bargain, though I'm not sure if it has the on/off function that makes them safer to carry around in a pocket etc.

For a bit more money, there is the very popular Riva 1100 kit from Vape escape - use discount code allabout for 10% off -

Hi,

I got the e-cig wizard ego kit and you can turn the batteries of with 5 'quick' clicks.

I used to use skycig, had that for about a month as my only e-cig, then got a Riva 1100 kits just over a week ago, my skycig only now gets used when I'm out and about, I love the riva, and it's the only thing I use at home or work.

As a quick general comment, ego batteries almost always have 5 click on/off, and Rivas have 3 clicks

[Chrissie]

Thanks for the info fresarubia & Oneday. I bought my Riva kit quite a while back & it doesn't have the on/off click facility, so wasn't sure if some others were still the same.

[gillian]

Thanks for all your replies so far.

I do like the Riva kit and £35 isn't a lot compared to the price of fags so just before i buy it, could someone give me an idea what the battery life is like?

[Cambo]

1-2 days depending on how much you use it. But basically it's a good all dayer, just bung it on charge at night. I love my Riva, best investment i've made in a long time. So easy to use and once you get to know the parts, so simple to clean etc.

[Cambo]

Don't forget your Skycig cartridges will fit onto the Riva battery too, so you can use these again and again by dropping some e-liquid into them to top them up, so don't throw them.

[GothicLord]

I agree with Cambo, I'm getting 1.5 - 2 days out of mine, but always carry a spare charged battery with me as a backup, and the USB charger is great, take a couple of hours to fully recharge a battery, so you can do it at work, at home, in the car etc

[gillian]

That's two kits in my basket (one for hubby too) and I'm thinking, hmmm 10pc off that's £7 so let's buy £7 juice too lol!

[GothicLord]

lol sounding like a true vaper already

[Chrissie]

I don't think you will regret it at all Gillian
