Yet another newbie

[dave]

Hi smudge, welcome from me too. As others have said an eGo or Riva starter kit is a good choice - most of us started with one

[alanfinal]

Hi smudge,eGo are just the ticket

[smudge]

Thanks all very much for the replies. Going to go with the Riva 1100 starter kit and see how I go with that. I'll also have the chance to try out the clearomiser and see what I think of it. Will let you know how I get on and thanks again

Don't forget to use the discount code RAFFLE for not only 10% off but also to enter their Christmas raffle

[smudge]

Thanks for the reminder, I'd most likely have forgotten again. Having trouble getting on to the vapeescape site though - is it just me?

Edit: Cancel that, working fine now

Hi and a warm welcome Smudge
i think the spinner will be a great idea for an upgrade
congratulations on your 3 months smoke free

[smudge]

Thanks Gordy, I still have trouble believing that it's been so easy and wish I'd discovered e-cigs sooner, but no matter - better late than never I do feel slightly guilty sometimes though when my husband, family, friends etc are full of praise for me finally kicking cigs for good when I haven't really suffered at all, but I'll cope

Oh and what is a spinner?

[Chrissie]

No need to feel guilty at all Smudge

The Spinner is a variable Voltage battery -

Thanks Chrissie, I guess there's a lot of the more technical stuff I haven't really caught up with yet - and don't worry I think I can stop myself feeling too guilty

[Chrissie]

Lol Smudge, even I can't keep up with all the new stuff that comes out these days It was so different when I started vaping over 4 years ago.

[smudge]

Well the Riva kit has arrived and it's amazing! Can't believe the difference and am now even more convinced I'll stay off the stinkies for good. Thus far have just stuck to using the cartomisers, but will no doubt be having a try with the clearomiser at some point.

Just wanted to say thanks again to everyone for the welcome and all the helpful advice. This is such a terrific forum, long may it continue

Oh and got my raffle ticket, so will be keeping fingers crossed for that. Mustn't forget to add that I'm now also the very proud owner of a vape escape pen

[Chrissie]

So pleased to hear you are pleased with your Riva

[smudge]

Very pleased with it indeed. Charge lasts me all day and my mac no longer has a row of little cigarette shaped batteries sticking out of every USB port

I've also got round to trying out the clearomiser and tbh I'm sort of in 2 minds about it. I checked out one of the video tutorials and do's and dont's and as far as I can tell have done everything as I should have, but it hasn't really persuaded me yet that it's for me. There's the obvious advantage of not having to top up so often, but I don't feel I get as satisfying a "drag" as I do through the carto. Also, it seems to mute the flavours a bit, although I could be imagining that. Will persevere for a bit, but the black cat is going back in the carto - just seems to taste better.

On the subject of flavours - I love the black cat and also the RY4 from vape escape. Have tried a few others - caramel (ok), cocomel (icky) whisky cream (jury still out) and caramel tabac (yuck)! I have let them all steep and have to say the whisky one is improving with every day - I'm a scot so I have to say that, although the only thing that should ever be added to whisky is more whisky So far I haven't tried anything with a fruit flavour. Anyone got any favourites they'd recommend?

[moonraker]

Wellcome Smudge you will get lots of help here , I did

If you like the Cartomiser, then really there is no reason to try anything else.

Except a tank - which is literally, a cartomiser with holes punched in it, and a tank of liquid around it.

A clearomiser will not interest you, it simply removes the taste / burnt taste/ and a lot of the throat hit to give more taste.

It's good for us who vape non tobacco, delicate juices (Vanilla, Cookie, Raspberry Ripple etc).
