There is some other blue stuff.............................and while OK on the initial fill, it didn't seem to want to absorb anymore juice, and I wasn't getting a good vape. Maybe I used it wrongly?

That has been my experience too, Kath. I understand that you need to take out the blue stuff and put a few drips in the cart, put back the blue stuff, add a few more drips, squidge around. I get in a mess

Seems a bit weird using fish tank filter filling.

Anyway, got 2 samples from LF today.

24mg menthol blend (vg)

24mg gold & silver (vg)

Menthol one is ok for a during the day vape, but I'm not too keen on the "fag ash" taste of gold & silver juice.

[Chrissie]

Hissie, it's not that weird really. Fish tank filter has to withstand some heat without giving off any toxins - otherwise the tropical & very sensitive fish wouldn't survive

[hissie]

Ah never thought of that Chrissie.

By the way, what's the best flavour to mix with "fag ash" tasting juice? I don't want to waste the juice, but the taste isn't good

[Chrissie]

Hissie, it's so difficult to recommend flavours as it's always down to personal taste. But maybe adding something like a cream or vanilla flavour would help? or even just adding some glycerine?

[hissie]

Cheers Chrissie.

Which juice sellers offer free postage?

Unfortunatly, my juice from James still isn't here. I'm assuming it's lost in the post.

[Chrissie]

OK smokey offers free UK postage : -

So sorry to hear you still haven't got the juices you ordered from James I'm sure he will help you out when he is back from his holiday.

I have that from another seller, Hissie, it really is vile

mixing it with the menthol would probably work

[Scylla]

I bought the "double flavour" Old Holborn from OK Smokey - that, to me, tasted like fag ash *yuk* but I've seen others say they liked it.

I'm thinking that a toffee/caramel or coffee flavour might both take the edge of it and add interest, but I don't know of a strong one - either e-juice or flavour-only - to recommend. My taste-buds are so destroyed that I don't get much taste out of anything (except that fag ash and the sweetness of PG/VG).

Sounds like we need James back home, and pronto.

My enjuice flavours are very nice, but I can't get a decent vape out of them. So I am now using them up by combining a few drops with James's L and B. I do so hope he comes home with a great tobacco/coffee/great vape recipe.

Where is the best place to by replacment black Riva batteries?

[Hanow]

Hissie, I would say Liberty Flights - and I think they are £12.99, but then you can use the discount code. I don't know if anyone has seen them cheaper elsewhere though. Us Riva users do need to find a good source of replacement parts. There are a lot of us.

[hissie]

Thanks for the replies.

Re: juice... where else sells samples? I've only seen James & LF.

[Scylla]

Not exactly samples, but OK Smokey does 5x10ml packs that you can choose your own flavours.

I bet Simon does too, see Chrissie's post about his re-named site cos there's a decent introductory offer in there I think.

Thanks y'all.

Another question... when people wash out their carts, do you just use plain water & let them air dry?

Also where's the best place to buy new filling?
