Personally I would hold off buying extra clearos until you have tried the Riva. Vape Escape delivery times are so quick that you could receive the kit the day after you order it, try it for a day and then place another order for the clearos and more juice samples and have them the next day. In only 3-4 days from placing your 1st order 2 orders can be received. You will also have a better idea of the flavour juices you may want to try. Many of us don't like vaping tabacco flavours , again its down to personal choice.

one thing you may need which has not been mentioned is an adapter for your usb charger so it will plug into any mains socket, other than that i wish you a warm welcome and good luck with quitting the stinkies:)

Thanks karma. Will just have to be patient! I have my list so far of: Riva 1100 deluxe kit Lanyard (black) Innokin clearomiser x 2 Vision ego rainbow clearomiser x 2 Virginia EJ And a selection of sample EJ Anything else I have missed off my shopping list? That lot should be enough to keep you going until you know what suits you best. maybe as said above grab one of these www.vapeescape.co.uk/510-standard-resistance-atomiser~9 for testing the juices. all you do is screw it on your riva, put about 5 drops of juice straight on the coil, put your drip tip on (the one that comes in your kit to put on your carts) and vape a few times. perfect way to test if you like the juice rather than filling a clearo and then finding you dont like the juice and having to tip it back into bottle and wash clearo out before trying another.

Divadee - if you have another electronic device that uses a USB lead to charge up, like an iphone for instance, you can simply unplug the iphone charging lead from the plug and stick your USB charger in there instead. Works a treat for me! Andy P.S. anything to keep the costs down at the start!

I'm on day 9 with my Riva and haven't touched a cigarette since it arrived, I'm loving it and would even go so far as to sat I prefer vaping to smoking!
I have 17 Benson & Hedges Gold sitting in the cupboard and haven't been tempted by them once! I smoked about 15 a day and have found the 18mg strength to be fine for me, though I do need a good 15 mins or so vaping first thing in the morning rather than a quick 5 minute ciggie. Most of the samples come in 18mg strength.
A popular tobacco favour is RY4 - not like B&H but a tobacco flavour with a sweet/caramel background. I bought a Bentley and Todges from Puffin and didn't like it much but by adding a good few drops of a fruit flavour it is much more palatable. I've been suprised by how much I enjoy the non tobacco flavours. I bought a menthol which was ok-ish and have since found a smoother menthol which I happily vape away on - and I hated menthol cigarettes!

Works a treat for me! Andy P.S. anything to keep the costs down at the start! I was just wondering about that! I have an iPhone charger an ipad charger and my kindle charger which all use USB connection so I could use one of those yeah?

Hi divadee and welcome
Another Riva fan and user. You will not be disappointed with it, not seen one person who has been yet.
imo in terms of juices, as a newbie you cannot go far wrong with the sample pack from Mirage Cigarettes. 32 flavours for under £20 delivered. The Cappuccino is absolutely gorgeous and the best juice I've had to date. Their cig-a-like flavours are pretty good too.
I'd also order a dripping atomiser & drip tip for around a fiver so you can try out new flavours without using up a cartomiser or having to fill a clearomiser only to find out you don't like it. A few drips and you're good to go.

Would something like this be what you mean? www.vapeescape.co.uk/riva%2D510%2D%2D%2Datomisers%7E193www.vapeescape.co.uk/coloured%2Daluminium%2Ddrip%2Dtips%2D%28510%2D901%29%7E122Then do I just attach that instead of the cartomiser with a few drops in? Also do you just wash them in between or are they one use only?

Yeah that's the kind of thing. i bought this one personally as it came recommended on here www.safercigs.co.uk/19ohm_Bauway__306__Atomizer_19ohms/p705283_8294594.aspx and a 306 drip tip www.safercigs.co.uk/306_Aluminium_Cannon_drip_tip/p705283_5016801.aspxBut I think what you have listed does more or less the same job. You are correct that you just drip a few drops of juice into the drip tip that's fitted on the atomoiser and give it a blast. You can just rinse the drip tip through when you try a different flavour if you want or just drip a new flavour straight in. With the 306 atomiser I listed I just put a lighter onto the mesh you can see at the top of it to burn off any remaining juice before trying a new one. People might think dripping is getting a bit ahead of the game for a newbie, but I've only been Vaping for 2 weeks myself and the dripping atomiser is one of the best things i bought. As I say it saves wasting carto's or filling and then washing out clearo's because you don't like a flavour. I think they should put one in the starter kits as every newbie wants to try out different juices to find the right one.

Totally agree with Mark - as a newbie I thought 'dripping' sounded beyond me, but within a week I'd bought an atomiser. I bought this one; www.vapeescape.co.uk/510-standard-resistance-atomiser~9 and you use the drip tip that came with your Riva. Most of us can't resist buying and trying different flavours. It can take a while to find one that you want to vape all day. I'm still going from flavour to flavour and haven't settled on a favourite yet. I sometimes vape several flavours in one session! Can bugger up your taste buds a bit Make sure you drink plenty of water as it can leave you with a dry mouth and throat.

I have decided to go for it today and get the pink!! I did really want black but speaking to friend who vapes just now and she put it in perspective that if I'm anything like her (over a year now) I would need batteries within 6-8 months anyway and can get black then. I can hide it under my top at work so not too much of an issue. I just like black!!
So off to place my order!
