Joye eGo / Riva 510

left to right: Joye eGo, Riva

I would recommend either the Joye eGo or Riva 510 electronic cigarettes.  The Riva 510 is just a copy cat of the Joye eGo but at a cheaper price.  These items are all manufacture in China so the quality is somewhat similar.  But I would say if you have the money, I think eGo would have more reliability.  That is just my thought though.  Both of the batteries life span is about 300 charges.  The Joye eGo and Riva 510 are both 510 device which means you can use with any 510 cartomizers and atomizers on them.  As you can see from the picture to your left.  The only difference in appearance is the color of the band and the button.  Joye eGo has a silver finish band.  Riva has a gold finish band.  I personally like the look of the eGo more.





The difference between the Joye 510 and these two device (eGo and Riva 510):
eGo and Riva 510 -

• Have larger battery capacity (lowest at 650 mAh)
• Can use (LR) low resistance and standard resistance cartomizers atomizers
• Diameter is about 3/4" (look at the picture to your right to compare them)
  

Is there anything better then the eGo and Riva 510?  Off course, there are various mods out there.  But eGo and Riva 510 is a good affordable starter kit.

Standard starter kit normally comes with 2 batteries, 2 atomizer, carts and charger.  Now depending on your budget this is my recommendation.

Below are 2 Low budget starter kit with misc you will need for under $60.00  http://www.liberty-flights.com
Remember to click on the 20% off on the upper left hand corner of the website to get the price below.  (shipping is about $3.00 for the whole order unless you purchase more than 1 starter kit.)

Low budget  (option 1)
Riva Lite Bundle $30.00 + Smoke Tech Cartomizer $7.99 + 510 Drip Tip $1.59 - $1.99  =  around $40.00
also pick up some 5ml VG and PG e juice for $2.40 each.

Low budget  (option 2)
Riva 510 carto deluxe(SE) $35.00 + Riva 510 (LR) atomizer $4.99 + 510 Drip Tip $1.59 - $1.99 = $42.00
then pick up a few 5ml VG & PG e juice.

I prefer option 2 because of the extra case, if you have enough funds you might want to add an additional 510 atomizer to your order to try out different flavors.

If you can spend a little bit more you might want to consider either the:

Joye eGo-T (type B) 650mAh $52.00  or Joye eGo-T (type B) 900mAh $56.00 starter kit, e juice, 510 cartomizer, 510 atomizer and a drip tip. (Try to get e juice from another juice supplier)
The mAh is the difference in battery capacity.  The 900mAh has the same diameter as the 650mAh, but it is a bit longer.  The higher the mAh the longer you can use the battery before charging.

First one from the top: Joye eGo Tank fully assembled.  middle one : Joye eGo 650mAh battery.  Bottom one: Joye eGo 900mAh battery.

If you cannot spend too much money now, it is okay to get the low budget sets now, you can always buy a eGo-T atomizer and eGo-Tank carts to use with your Riva battery in the future.  eGo-T atomizer cost from anywhere between $10 - $15.  The tank carts cost about $8.00 (Tank carts are reusable)  If you are purchasing pieces alone, like for example you need to buy an atomizer or some cartomizers.  You can also check out http://www.shop.goodprophets.com/  and compare the prices.  I normally like to buy batteries and starter kits at Liberty Flights, because their battery warranty are 2 months.  As for eGo tank atomizer I normally purchase them at Good Prophets because there price is a bit lower.  *From most supplier I seem, (LR) atomizers (any kind) does not carry any warranty unless they are dead on arrival, that is also the case for any kind of resistance cartomizers.

With the purchase of the eGo Tank starter kit, 510 cartomizer and 510 atomizer and drip tip.  You can try the different various things and find out what you like best.  You would always want a 510 atomizer to try the different e juice flavor.  This is why you need a drip tip.
