Newbie needs help please

Hi Knawes,

Excellent .. go for it .. you'll both not miss the smell .. the ash or the staining .. teeth and decor!

Just takes a wee bit of time to find the right set up ... and IMO you'll never go back to tobacco!

Plus you'll save a lot in the long run ... both of your lives .. oh and lots of money!

I think once you have the hardware and some spare atomisers and batteries .... about £1 max each a day will cover your nicotine habit.

Best of luck.

Kath, as far as we are concerned, there was no problem at all about you starting a new thread asking for help I think Lolli was just thinking we may have got confused about who we had given what info to & ended up missing something out

If you are smoking 50 a day then I think you will need the extra high strength e-liquid. (30-38mg). If when you get it you find that too strong, you can cut it with some glycerine, though doing so will also dilute the flavour.

So pleased to hear your partner wants to give them a try as well

Kath, Andy aka Smoke2vape, does fantastic video reviews - well worth checking a few of them out.

In this one, about half way through, he uses his Tornado e-cig (similar to the Riva) to demonstrate the amount of vapour he gets from Paradise Vapes juice.

I've done it! I've placed my order - two Riva kits, two LR atomisers, (with 15% discount) from Liberty, some juice from Paradisevape Marlborough type at 26mg and some from ecigsoutlet, Lambert and Butler type at 30-36mg strength. Hope I've got all I need and I like it!
I'm away for a week from Saturday lunch, so might not get back to you until after then, especially if it arrives after we have left.
Thanks to all for their help and advice.

knawes ...

Your very welcome Kath!

Let us know how you get on.

[knawes]

Actually I got the two juices the wrong way round - Marlborough from ecigoutlet and LnB from Paradisevape - I told you it was confusing for a newbie!

Thanks Omegaman ;-)

[omegaman]

You are most welcome.

[Chrissie]

Well done Kath I can vouch for the L&B from Paradise vapes, it's one of my favourites

[jaki]

That's brilliant Kath. I wouldn't mind betting you'll be taking your new toys with you - both LF and ParadiseVape are super fast shippers (never bought from ecigsoutlet so can't comment on them)

[knawes]

Chrissie - I'm smoking L&B at the moment - tobacco ones! So hopefully the juice will be comparable. Jaki - I'm also hoping that it will arrive before we go, especially as we are in non-smoking accommodation!

Hi again everyone. I was up early, back here, reading and watching videos (thank you all for those - v.helpful) and hopefully taking it all in.

Thus, do I have this correct - assuming I choose the Riva 510 kit?

1. The kit comes with all of the basics - thus I would order that from Liberty Flights - and use the discount code given above.
2. Whilst doing that, I should also order a spare/second atomiser(?) Not sure why - but someone above indicated that they have, so they must have read something I missed, but I have noted it.
3) I then go to Paradisevape to order 'juice', deciding first the strength I think I need.

Do I have that all correct?

4) For info - do all sites refer to 'juice' as juice, or can you meet other terms for it?

I hope I have covered everything there. Please shout at me if I have missed something.

Thanks.

[Chrissie]

Kath, there is no way they can make a juice taste exactly like a real L&B or any other brand. But that one of James' really is one of the best I've tried. I also hope your kit & juice gets to you before you go away.

Here goes Hanow : -

1) yes the kit from Liberty Flights comes with all the basics www.liberty-flights.co.uk/product.asp?id=78

2) As the kit comes with 2 batteries & 2 atomisers, you don't need to order another spare atomiser straight away.

3) You could order some juice from Liberty Flights if you prefer. Not tried their juices myself so no idea if they are as good as Paradise Vapes juice paradisevapeuk.vstore.ca/index.php/cName/ejuice/osCsid/7d625144f0a04d0531f0bbe6961b629c

4) Juice is also known as e-liquid.

Can't think of anything you have missed

[Hanow]

Thanks again, Chrissie. You are a star.

Oh (((Kath))) - Chrissie is exactly right. I was just worried that with several new people & several threads, it would all be a bit confusing
Just wanted it to be as easy as poss for you guys to get your info in one place.
I know I was addled with so much info when I first started
Took me ages to decide what to buy - almost too many options
Important thing is you've made a choice & ordered - congrats
Do update us with progress

[knawes]

No worries, lolli! More a failing on my part, I usually suggest folks search for an answer before posting, and then didn't follow my own advice! (I'm a regular on the eBay boards.)
But you are correct in the addling - so much to choose from and so don't want to get it wrong for my first foray into the world of vaping. I didn't even know how an e-cig was made up - battery, atomiser, cartridge etc. And all these "flavoured" juices - I wanted a "ciggy" not a fruit salad!
Hopefully it will all arrive tomorrow before we set off about lunch time, and I'll get to try it out in the "non-smoking" accommodation!
Love to all.
Kath
