I no longer use the LR atties with anything as they murder the batteries.

Gosh Foxy, feel nervous using them on the Riva, when they come

Am feeling less thrilled with the Riva at the mo......... button potentially sticking is not reassuring.

Also when out & on/off vaping, it's a bit of a faff disconnecting the attie as you have to take the cart & cone off to do so.

Blowing hot & cold on the Riva today ........love it one minute, but not the next

Sorry Lolli, I don't mean to be a crepe hanger. I have three Tornado batteries and have just bought a Riva one. So far so good but I do wonder about the 'cloned' items sometimes, especially after the right royal cock-up with the Screwdriver 'clone' that simply fell apart - there was a recall and apparently all is now well.

We can't know whether the Riva batteries are identical to those of the 'Ego/Tornado,' we only assume they are because they look the same. Ya pays ya money and takes ya chances.

Foxy not at all - thank you for your opinion. I appreciate hearing about others experiences - it's really helpful
Thanks again x

There is another Tornegoriva clone on the market - although I think it looks more like the Tornado, whereas the Riva has the same button styling as the Ego

Edited to add: I've just realised, this is the same as the F16 as sold by thingywhathisname in Cyprus. It is a 1300mah battery (mega) whereas the Tornegorivas are all 650 mah

Tim should have unboxed that Ghost for photos

Yes Jaki, that is the Hello Tech 16. Some people are saying they don't like the fact the cone & the atomiser are all in one. I also don't think it looks that good a deal as Tim is selling it with just the one battery?

[jaki]

Well spotted Chrissie - I have modified my post.

So, if the cone and atty are all in one, then once the coned atties have died, does that mean you have to use it without the cone or source more coned atties? Do they not come apart at all?

[Chrissie]

Not 100% certain Jaki, but yes, I do think that you have to either source more coned atties or use a 510 without a cone. Unless of course the Riva or Tornego cones fit?

I know that I've read on ECF that it's even a tad less convenient having to carry around a spare coned attie as it's so much bulkier.

[Chrissie]

Just been searching ECF for more info on the Hello 016.

The cones & atties do not come apart & you can't use a cone from either the Riva/tornego on it as the 016 only has the one thread on the battery to screw on the attie part of the coneamiser.

[buckowski]

I like that - the 'coneamiser'

I'm sure the 'Ghost' is a great E-cigarette...but it really should have been packaged with 2 batteries and 2 atomisers at a slightly higher price. Can't see many units being sold the way it is, especially with the value of the Riva kit.

[Chrissie]

Bucko I think it is a bit (conea)miserly of Tim to be selling it with just the one battery

[buckowski]

Well that didn't take long...

Here's a company I've never heard of before selling their version of the Ghost/016, calling it the Zeus

www.miragecigarettes.co.uk/catalog/Mirage_ZEUS_Electronic_Cigarette-30-1.html

They give you 2 batteries, 2 atomisers and a 10ml bottle of E-liquid, a fast charger, and with the discount code MC69 the total comes to £44.95 shipped.
Here's a review...

If i knew this last week i would have bought it instead of the Riva...this gives 2 days battery life and from what you get in the kit at that price, it's great value for money...Arggg

Must have missed a post somewhere Scylla as I did not realise you had a tumble.

Glad you are feeling better.

Ken.

[Lilac]

Replacements are a hefty price tho, Bucko

£16.99 for the batts and £8.49 for the cone atomisers

Ken, thanks for the good wishes - I got away with it very cheaply but every now and again I relive the tumble and shudder

Scylla - sorry from me too - only just caught up with your tumble. Do hope you are okay.
