Get the kit with the nitecore charger. Don't worry what plug comes on the charger cable. Just cut it off and follow this Good one I get that intense when im unsure about something but want to get it right i dont see the wood for the trees . Made me laugh thoughGood - glad it was taken the way it was meant I know what you mean though - there's soooo many choices. Anyway, as I understand it, the nitecore is a better charger and robby rates those batteries. Everything you need from fasttech + change, compared to your original link

Just arrived and a second revelation in under two months(first the riva and this takes it up another notch) First impression of the Riva when it arrived was "well thats not exactly discreet is it compared to a regular sized cigarette"erm looks bloody tiny after using the vamo the last hour Anyway very happy with it and thanks again all for the help in getting it

Lol . . . after a while you don't care too much what something looks like if it gives a great vape Rich, I certainly don't. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder anyway. Delighted you're pleased with your Vamo.

Thanks Perpetua I really am very happy with it and fortunately i still like the Riva as well(was worried it would get sidelined but took the dogs a long walk and it still has its place.) Just waiting for an sd keyring(still using elite at work but finding more and more im going off to use the Riva during breaks so hoping the sd will fill work breaks.) Only other thing i want is an itaste mvp(still no excuse other than i really like it) from fasttech which ill order next "pocket money" day then im avoiding the fasttech and bargain to share threads for a while ......i only came to this forum to ask you lot for a cheap way to refill my elite carts ???

Can I ask a quick question here ...?
As the very pleased owner of my new Riva....Apart from a case of shinyitis.... What is there to be gained by stepping up to the Vamo ? I'm giving my Riva a hammering every waking hour and the 1100 batteries are more than up to it ... Is it just the ability to tinker with the voltage / watts ?
Sorry if that's a bit noobish ...

I cant deny theres definately an element of i want wants more, but on reading here and around the net and watching vids, what ive learnt is that the different liquids do work better with different voltages / watts.(remember im a newbie too )) i ve experimented with different liquids since getting the riva and now im a little more used to the tastes i definately pick up when one could do with being higher volts and one or two seem a tiny bit burnt and lower volts would be better(not really burnt but cant really explain that one) on the riva.(but then thats easily solved by having low resistant and standard carts for example) Im certainly not qualified to advise but in my mind if i was to say " is the Riva good enough for long term"??= yes definately and no real need to upgrade. I ve switched to vaping to eventually stop the smoking/nicotine habit completely, but after 30 plus years of heavy smoking im realistic and know im in it for the long haul and with the exception of the mvp each thing i ve bought is bought for a specific purpose (keyring= workbreaks... Riva1100 = day to day when out and about(keyring probably would nt last the whole day) vamo = chilling at home and really getting to experiment with flavours as i ve started learning to make my own liquids and being a chef it is automatically interesting to tweak and combine flavours) and as i said the mvp is possibly a wee treat when i reach two months of not smoking for no other reason than i really like the look of it and its vv function. I was semi serious earlier when i said id avoid the fasttech and bargain thread earlier as anything else for me would just be want for wants sake. I suppose to summarise "if i could have no other option but the Riva would i be happy? yes definately and no reason to upgrade unless you want to, could i keep collecting different models of VPs??yes definately.....but i wont Hope this helps spikus

Thanks Rich ... Your circus sound very similar to my own God .... I've only been doing this properly for 2 days ( I don't count the wasted sky cig weeks ... Argh !!) and I'm already resigned to the fact that I've developed a virulent case of shinits ...the Vamo looks cool... Gonna look into mixing my own this weekend ..... What have I got myself into? But ... I deserve it .... I'm off the fags so Its only right that I get a special treat !

But ... I deserve it .... I'm off the fags so Its only right that I get a special treat ! Could nt agree more. I suppose if im honest i have looked at money spent on vaping to money saved on tobacco and although tobacco is slightly ahead just now it ll soon come back into line and ill reach "breakeven " soon enough then ill actually save some money since stopping smoking Cheers again and good luck with buying i mean vaping

After a while of knocks and drops the black paint started to chip and wear, I did no more than went to the shed and gave it a good rub with some wire wool and metal polish......result.....shiny stainless steel Riva complete with shiny cone cover, looks the mutts nuts
