1100 and 650 Riva

[Ellen]

Thanks for that Des,
I don't know why but I had it in my head that Riva started and remained at 3.7 don't know where I got that from #attachment#

If you are still having problems locating these items, I have some white ego style kits in 650mAH and the 1100 mAH I think in black, pink and cherry red. If you call 07832967110 tomorrow, I will alert my son that you may call him at the shop.

We usually sell the kits with a zip case and 10ml of liquid included and a choice of normal resist atomisers or Ce4/stardusts but just ask for what you need and I am sure he can accommodate.

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.

No you haven't babbled on at all Des, this info is brill, being a newbie this is what I and others need. Anything anyone explains/advises is a great help to understand how these machines function. I didn't have a clue about what you have explained. Fantastic info Thank you
