Not that kit but I have Ego batteries and they are fine.
I think it was Maccafan (or one of the techie bods) who said Ego are actually better quality than Riva as the wires used are thicker and the soldering is better.
I prefer them because the trim is silver not gold.

What thread is it (I think that's what you call it, the bit you screw) You know what I'm talking about right? is it 510?

[fagin]

I see we're talking different things. The Elf is 350 but this is 650

Yup. The Ego anyway, no idea about the Elf.

Fill me in on the missing details here. What is the difference between the Riva and the eGo?

I see that the Riva's come in many different colours and they have a 3 click on/off where as the eGo's come in black or silver and have a 5 click on/off

apart from that what is the difference between them?

Edit ok the puffin eGo's come in different colours (thanks Fagin lol )

As with most things vaping, there's originals and clones. Joytec eGo was the original of this type of battery. Everything else (including the Riva) is a clone. It doesn't necessarily make them bad, just variations on a theme. And yes, apparently the Riva has thinner wirs, but only a potential problem if you go below 2.o ohms

Oh, I never saw this comment of yours. WHITE........

[chrisjw]

Sorry..it's not a drop down box, but where it states the prices you'll see it has them in black, silver or white

Very interesting! I'm learning day by day (I think) So, ego is the original. Regarding the wire, does this mean the ego can handle a lower ohms?

egos sold out!

Apparently so (macca said so, so I have to agree)

[DiscoDes]

The other difference is that the Ego has circuitry that regulates (tries to maintain) the voltage at 3.5 (ish) volts as the battery discharges.

The Riva does not have a regulator, this means the voltage starts at 4.2 volts then gradually goes down as the battery gets used to a minimum of about 3.2 volts. However this circuitry has a maximum amount of current (flow) which it can handle without burning out, which is lower than the Riva.
I prefer the Riva as you get a good "punchy" vape when the batteries are fully charged, if it drops below what I find acceptable then I just recharge it.

If you're confused about volts think of this as water pressure and current is akin to flow, you could have a tank (battery) with a 1 inch diameter tap used to fill a bucket. When the tank is full the pressure (voltage) is high but it will still take longer to fill that bucket than a 3 inch diameter tap as the 3 inch tap can give more flow (current or amps in electruicity).

I have babbled on about this I hope it is of some help.
