Now I'm all quandrified because I kind of agree with Storm and Jason that it could be me being ham handed or just tough cheese. But on the other hand I don't think even me could get it wrong just putting a carto on a battery once or twice to test it would wreck it , and it is suspicious that the stardusts not only don't work on Ego but were involved in the demise of two of my Riva's (although according to Macca I am no way innocent in that one either). I have had the stardusts 2 weeks though and would imagine they are DOA only and I only have one completely clean one. Think lesson here is stick to what I know for a bit and don't get distracted by shiny things on here.
Macca definitely don't feel bad about the batteries its me that bought two!
And don't you feel bad for me either Perpy its a lesson learned and now that I am giving up on the Stardusts I can get back to focus on using what works ..
Oh jeezy peeps can you imagine what would have happened if I let Karma lead me down that flipping LT path the other day ................................................

Cos I was using the old stardusts on the Riva and they didn't work so in my head I had tried them on the Riva and they didn't work, it was only when you and Blakey said the same thing I thought oohhh I wonder , emailed Kev earlier so will see what he says, I was dry burning the the Clearo with liquid in it its not working so good, think I'll stick to the Carto's might not be as nice a vape but at least I don't drive myself and others demented trying to work out whats wrong lol! Agree with you about the kettle !

Blakey , Macca your right , just tried the new one one the newest Riva and it works, still doesn't work on the Ego or the older Riva though.
Bugger did I break my Riva's and it was actually the stardusts ? And how do I fix that then? Only used them a few days and not a lot cos I hadn't worked out how to seal the caps so only used them at night .
Much as I love them think I may have to use the Stardusts to test the easy liquid then give up on them (dives in to Easy Liquid)

It did work on Riva until their centre Pins sunk (and you know how that story turned out  ), but I have 4, 2 of which I have used , 1 of which I unwrapped last night and put liquid in too see if it was that the used ones had "expired"and one that is still in the wrapper all the centres look the same. FYI the centre post on the ego is definitely higher than on Riva. |

Missing bottles arrived, plus they just re-supplied all the Koko ones I ordered so got extra 2 bottles , not sure if it was a wee bonus cos they got it wrong first time or a mistake (I did tell them what ones were missing ). If it was on purpose thanks Tsi and Sio if it was a mistake Tsi and Sio !!! Of course you can always pm or e-mail me if you want them back ....... |

Thanks Blakey I tried alll sorts of different screwing on methods last night really loose, loose tight, very tight none seemed to work was also going to post pics but was loosing the will to live. I was hoping to be home when it was still light but it wasn't so hope these pics are clear enough firstly how ego and riva battery compare :  Connections on stardust  and picture of stardust in case I'm barking up wrong tree altogether  and finally ego with stardust on :  |

Typical I was up North LAST Thursday although I think I was too far West anyway and I think they have seen them as far South as London this Winter so you never know Des you might be lucky although I think Jane has best chance of seeing them

Right its still not working but I see the logic in what your saying think I will leave it a couple of days and try again when the threads are a little more worn

Ok both batteries is 1cm , but threading on riva is about 2.5mm but on ego is more like 4mm (I think its quite small measurements and my eyes are not good)
