Hi Otherego
Riva-510 was my first proper device and it really is a good place to start.
You mentioned using Low Resistance Atomisers on it and there will be some vapers who will tell you that they have had no problems in this area whatsoever...On the other hand, I have had 2 Riva-510 batteries totally trashed by the same LR Cartomiser - they fired up and wouldn't stop firing - only way I could stop it was to unscrew the Cart from the battery - RESULT - Dead Battery...!!!
I was speaking with Lisa over at Cloud 9 Vaping where i purchase most of my kit and she did say that they Riva 510 battery is really not designed for use with LR Attys - in fact she even has a disclaimer on the Product to that effect!
Still - a good choice of starter device.

Just my 2p worth...
In N. Ireland recently a driver for a large company was stopped by Police and Cautioned for Smoking whilst driving the Company HGV and was told that a case would be brought against him.
The owner of the Company who I know very well rang the Police and told them that it was an E-Cigarette and that it was quite legal to smoke these - the Police had to agree and the case was dropped!
The problem was that the person driving the lorry WAS smoking a real fag and people like these are going to get the rest of US a bad name!!!
The owner of the Company makes matters worse in that he is going to provide all his HGV drivers with cheap E-Cigs as a "get out clause" just in case they get stopped whilst smoking and driving!
We will end up paying the cost for this as the "Powers that be" may make include vaping as an offence!

Any loss of life is a truly terrible thing...she was a great talent and like many before her - her career was "cut short"... BUT compared to the deaths in the rest of the world as a result of terrorism, starvation, disease - hell - she doesn't matter!!

Hey Andy
Why not just drop Arry a line over at UKV Forum and get one direct...
He was very helpful to me and will do them custom for you at no real extra cost.
I mean I have seen them on Forums for only a couple of pounds less than Arry sells them new!!!

Cookstown - N. Ireland - Everyone seems to ban vaping because in their eyes it "looks like Smoking".
Cafes, Bars, Hotels, Restaurants, Cinema - all say NO!!!
I rang the Council Environmental Health Officer who told me that since Vaping was not smoking, I could do it anywhere I liked on Council Property so I decided to put this to the test...
I went to: Council Leisure Centre and even asked if I could vape and was told to go outside. Council Arts Centre/Theatre and was told the same Council Offices (where the Environmental Officer works!) and was politely told to "step outside".
Really it causes more hassle than it is worth - BUT I intend to keep annoying/offending and making a nuisance of myself until Cookstown finally gets the message.

Ah the worries of "the forgotten recipe"...
Do this all the time myself - come up with a great taste and forget to write it down - gone forever...!!!
Storm - I don't really like the Fruit Flavours either BUT I did get some TW Cherry E-Juice 36mg and added some drops of Black Cherry from C9V to it and the results were very good.
As Perpetua said - Add some stuff and see what the results are. Start with small batches first and for gods sake WRITE IT DOWN!!!

Clouyd9 RY4 is stunning as is the RY4 from VapourWorld (in my opinion!).
I use both of these as a base for most of my mixes...A bit of Caramel as Perpetua says or in my case Chocolate, Coffee, Coconut flavours...

Change to a Riva 510 and enjoy (relatively) trouble-free vaping...

I got one of these from Ref50 over at UKV and I am well impressed by it.
As Ian says - a professional MOD if ever there was one! Certainly not a fake SD but a great unit all on its own!

I was in the same boat as you a while back and ended up getting a Variable Voltage Dual 18650 Mod from Rob "Throathit" over a UK Vapers. It runs between 3.4v and 5.8v and has a 510 fitting on top and vapes great! Especially combined with a Dual-Coil Cart...
Check it out at any rat - at £80, its a hell of a lot cheaper than a ProVari!

At the minute my fav vape juice is either RY4 from C9V or VapourWorld and CigarCherry from VapourWorld - both great tastes even at 36mg! (May be too strong for some)
Generally I use my SD Mk 2 with a tank on it well filled up or my VV 18650 Mod (by Rob "Throathit") and direct-drip onto a standard atty!

I agree Roachie...
Really F&*Ks me off as well. Being a conspiracy theorist, I see the hand of the Government in there somewhere I think they want us to "go away"!!!
EBAY Shouuld get their act together and sort it out!
Did you try contacting them and asking for an explanation?

As a relative newcomer to mixing, I have read all of your Information Posts (UK Vapers) with great interest and have learned a lot.
Like Perpetua, I ordered a batch of 36 different LorAnn Flavourings (They actually sent me 42!) on E-Bay and after reading a Post or PDF (somewhere) about NOT using Oil-based flavours OR anything with Artificial Colours in them - I seperated out my LorAnn Purchase according to the list and ended up with only about 10 out of the 42 that I am recommended to use.
I am very interested in your comment here and would certainly be prepared to try a few of the oils now!
