Where to buy tornegoriva switch/connector

[domesticextremist]

Liberty flights lists them, but are out of stock.

Need to replace the switch/connector on my riva as
the seal is knackered.

Would also like to get the electronics to fix my SDK

Anyone know of any other suppliers?

Don't know if these Heaven's Gifts ones are what you're looking for Dom . . . .

Mad Vapes also do a fair bit of Modding gear . . .

Good find - these look a bit better than Lfs, but I'll hang fire for a
bit to see if they come into stock.
I'm not in any rush as i have to locate my soldering iron first and probably
get a finer tip for it.

HG postage can be a bit steep.

I checked HG earlier - but they are out of stock at the moment

[domesticextremist]

Dang, may have to email LF to see when stock is expected.

[Gordy]

you looking for these back in stock at LF

I am, but I need these even more:

I want to replace one on a Riva battery with a squished insulation ring.
After that, I want electronics and connector to convert my juice
killed SDK to manual.

You can get a pack of 5 battery connectors at Cloud9:

or you can reuse the central separating silicone grommet from an dead cartomizer on your existing battery connector central pin. They are the same size.They are a pig to put back in but if you are very patient and don't try to force it in, you can..

[domesticextremist]

Yeah, I really want the riva collar and button hole bit too.

Anyhoo, I investigated further, seems the wire is disconnected from the centre pin
(which is probably why it stopped working), which means I was able to push it out
and inspect the washer. It is not split, just squished, sso I might try shimming it out
with the carto bits as you suggest.

The wires are very brittle, so I will replace that too.

I still want to get switch and electronics for my SDK, though. I have now completely
destroyed/dismantled it out of curiosity. It turns out the LED is on the base of the
pressure switch, the battery doesn't seem to have any visible circuitry on it either,
so I'm guessing fitting the electronics is just a mated of soldering up the + and -
terminals correctly.

If your SDK airflow sensor was working you can just solder the wires back on and it will work..There is a connection to the top cap which is required for charging. If you have pulled the battery out completely from the SDK you need to remove the top cap and resolder the wire on the top too to charge.

On the RIVA it's slightly different..The connector to the circuit board is for charging and the connector at the top is for powering the atomizer connection.

[domesticextremist]

I'm not sure I follow you there.
In the SDK, there was a single negative wire, soldereed to the
bottom cap (which seems irremovable) then looped to the -ve
termianl of the battery, running up to one terminal on the pressure switch.

A positive wire also to the pressure cap,, and then a short blue wire to the
+ve on the atty connector. I assumed the case completed the circuit, as I saw
no -ve wire to the -v on the atty connector. I'm guessing the charging electronics is
inside the charger.
I'd draw a circuit diagram, if I could draw

Not sure about the Riva, as I am loathe to dissect it completely.

[kingofswords]

on the egos the postive wirefrom the battery only goes to the switch....maybe the pos to ground wire is somthing to do with the manuel switch? other than that its same as you described the sdk.

[maccafan]

If you have not pulled the battery completely out of the SDK and have the connection to the top cap intact, then I would just solder the red and black wires to the PCB and put it back together to see if it works..

Both the RIVA and the SDK have mechanically identical connections.
