Hi Poppsie,and a belated welcome.Going back onto the subject of turning the Riva on/off.I bought the same model as yourself a short while ago from the same seller and had the same problem as you at first.But after a bit of practice found that 3 quick presses of the button it works fine.I think it's all a matter of timing and practice.
Hope this helps.

Hi kernowman
I've been fiddling with it all evening and a little while ago I managed to do it on 3 clicks. It's amazing it's identical to you. Practise makes perfect as they say LOL.

Poppsie, just looked through your gallery, what a beautiful dog, love the pics, very handsome indeed

The holiday cottage looks lovely, we have two Nuthatch that come regular to the bird feeders, they are so dainty and pretty, we are moving today and I wont see them again #icon_cry# or all the other lovely birds that I have come to watch with great pleasure eachday, told my husband I need to write a little note and leave it by the feeders saying -moved to-(new address) #icon_rofl#

With my gob bluefish it'd be difficult sticking it anywhere else LOL.

Thanks Sandra. It was a lovely little cottage, we were quite cosy in it. It was a few days before the nuthatch arrived but it was worth the wait and like you say, very dainty little birds. I would definately put a note out for them advising of your new address LOL. Good luck with the move - are you going very far?

Guys, a question about Stardusts pleeeeze - how many times can you use them? I'm guessing at the moment that when you empty one, you can wash it out and reuse it. How many do you think I need to order and shall I order the SR ones so's not to drain my battery quickly? Ta muchly.

My Riva is great and didn't need to recharge it until about 10 this morning wow.......

Poppsie there are people on the forum who have been using them for weeks. As you say, wash out and re-use when changing flavours. To be honest the question 'how many' can only be answered by 'as many as you need and some spares'. I started off getting four SR ones to enable me to swap between juices easily. The Riva, as you've found, holds a good long charge so unless you're going to be away from civilisation I wouldn't worry about the LRs

[debs40]

I have been using mine for 7 weeks constantly now Poppsie

I just give it a wash out every couple of days, and off I go again! I've got a couple of the new V2 versions ordered, as they have longer wicks, and apparently wick the juice better. I'll let you know the verdict when I've tried them out!

Glad you're loving your Riva
