Critique my newbie kit please

[Synonymous]

Hi, all,

I've decided to give vapor a try to help me quit my 30 year analog habit. I've been reading enough about it to make my head explode and watched enough video to make my eyes bleed. I think I've got my customized starter kit ready. What do you think...


Riva Starter kit:
2 pcs of 510 atomizer
2 pcs of 750mah battery
1 pc fast charger plus Wall charger
10 pcs blank cart
1 pc cone

$39.95

3 pack of Delrin Drip Tips for 901 and 510 attys - $4.50


100 ml custom sampler pack (5 - 20ml flavors) $30.00

Total: $74.45

Any recommendations?

Congratulations...

Any recommendations?

Yes....Sit back, relax, vape away my friend.

You've got a good PV, and plenty of juice to last a long time. At least a month...


If anything, get a couple extra atomizers.

Looks OK, but it would be a good idea to add some extra attys (at least 5 IMO)

Where did you place your order?

sounds like a good start, you will like the 510 atty and the 750mAh battery will last you a good while. most kits noobs to ecigs get are the small batteries with about 30min vape time. then get frustrated.

after you start, i would look into mixing your own juice. it is more affordable and you can make it how you wish. then skip using the cart and drip into the atty and vape. keeps it from flooding and having a mess from trying to fill carts.

Looks like EastMall - they just drop Riva's price to $39.95 (assumabely forever based on Di reply)

Haven't placed it yet but got the numbers from East Mall.

Based on a few responses above, I'll be adding some atty's. Should I try the low resistance ones or stick with the standards?

Looks good to me. I would add some cartomizers , you might like those better than atty , cart combo.

Thanks for the Info. I’ll check them out. I don’t have a Riva in the arsenal. LOL
And welcome to the ECF.

 

[Nerd]

Yeah, where? Keenly interested. I'm at the point where I like my VK, but I'm not against branching out

 

[Nerd]

Wow. I should have hit reply sooner. Oops!

I've only had good experiences with the Joye LR's.Just make sure if you use them to keep the atty wet,preferably by dripping.If you don't keep them wet you'll get a nasty burned taste.They are all I use now on my ego.

 

[Shaka]

Good choice...have both egos and rivas and prefer the latter. Good call on getting extra attys, now it's just a matter of enjoying your journey and finding out the combination of hardware and juices that works best for you.

 

[Thephonetech]

Double up on everything, nothing worst than having 2 batterys or a charge go and not having a back up.

Added a five pack of LR Atty's to the list and hit the buy button!

Sadly, something happened and it didn't go through. David at EM helped me through email this morning and got it going.

I've read good and bad things about EM. Sofar it's been a good experience thanks to David. Hope it continues.

Just so you have another point of view, I tried LR attomizers with my eGo, and I found that they are so hot they give the liquid an unpleasant burnt taste. I tried them with several liquids, same result. I find that the regular 510 atty's do just fine, and preserve the flavor.

Agreed, but I MOSTLY use cartomizers, as I do not like fiddling with attys and carts.

You may want to check this out. I'm using my Riva with a 510 to kr808 D-1 adapter and kr808 cartomizers. I like the flavor of the kr808s better and the adapter makes the carto stick out farther from the cone. With the 510 cartos the part sticking out was so short my lips were sealing off the top of the cone making it draw really hard.

 

[Synonymous]

Thanks for all the great advise! While I'm waiting for my order from EM (How long from China??), I decided that I needed a passthrough.

Placed another order today for a 510 Sit-n-go, a five pack of cartomizers and some sample fluid.

I'm hooked and I haven't even started.

Just wait until you decide to get a mod.
