Kenny thanks a lot for your advice on the ecigwizard site! Have you ever boughht anything from there? Any known feedback from there? I'll have to go through all these sites when I get home to reconsider and make my final decision taking all suggs into account ! Oo
God it's hard to start vaping

Yep, bought a kit from them and quite a few of their Freedom Smoke USA 3ml sample juices. Their prices are very good and I had free delivery to Greece in 3 days which is excellent.

I would highly recommend them.

Ken.

Hello Aldo
It is just like a big family isnt it? Im fairly new here too and within a very short space of time felt like I was with friends.
Anyway I know how hard it is to wait for restokes when you hust want to get started with the e-cigs. DOnt know if this idea will work but could you not order all that stuff with a Riva 901 and get a 901 - 501 adapter? They are 2.99 on the Liberty Flights site. Then you can use all your 510 stuff but also try out the 901 atties too and you wont have to wait.

[Aldo]

Well I guess that's vg ! And that way I'm able to buy what I had in mind for the first time! Sorry to "ignore" your advice on the 901 Chrissie xP from what I read and could understand 901 LR attys are less "resistant" than 510 ones, am I right?

[Chrissie]

Kenny do you know what the exact model of that "Ego style" kit is from ecigwizard? I'm not putting them down - far from it as they do look like a very good new supplier. Would just like to know more about it I'm fairly certain I've read somewhere that some of the kits with that Ego logo on the box are Riva's?

Aldo, how much resistance would you like? Seriously though, you are a relatively light smoker so I doubt you really need a really low resistance attie. As Wotsit says you could go for that 901 kit & buy a 510 converter & maybe a 510 LR attie to use with it so you can easily find out which atties you like best

Need more input on this from the Tornegoriva experts

[Aldo]

Hey everybody and thank you for the tip wotsit! The rest of you I think I already thanked at least once so... consider yourself thanked! =)
I asked about ecigwizard website exactly because that Logo didn't look like the "original" one...
anyway... I think I reached the crosspoint! everybody gave good tips, explained why and now it is time for me to decide. There's nothing like trying it out and then figure out which is the best for me, mainly cause it all seems to be so subjective!
I'll try and do a quick summary of what I want and what I'm getting! I'm placing my order still tonight or tomorrow morning and hopefully get it by the end of next week!
So...
I enjoy smoking... I don't smoke more cigs cause I know it's no good for me and because I don't have the time for it! During weekends or at night when playing the cards I'm a chimney! I appreciate a good throat kick, but not an overwhelming one, and smoke fascinates me ! giving this and my initial plans I'm getting:
RIVA 901 - LITE BUNDLE
which will provide me with
2 x 750mAh Battery
1 x 901 Atomizers - *1.7 ohm resistance
1 x 901 Atomizers - *3.2 ohm resistance
1 USB Fast Charger
10 x Blank Carts - e-liquid will be required to fill these cartridges (sold separately)
1 x Atomizer Cone

and :
1x 901 atty
2x 510 atty
1x 510 lr atty
1x drip tip
1x eGo XL 900 mAh batt
1x 901 to 510 adapter

68pounds with shipping...
I'm currently going through some posts @ ECF to pick a few juices to add... i I forgot something plz remember me ! Cartos? which brand? 510 or 901? empt cartridges?

[Aldo]

Home counties 5ml / RY3 30ml / hotel 5ml
5ml chocolate and 5 ml coffee
these will all be PG juices 24mg
I'll also follow Chrissie's tip and buy a glycerin bottle so that i can mix if I don't like any of them, is that right?

[Chrissie]

You are so right Aldo, it is very subjective & therefore so hard to recommend the best starter kit. It really was so much easier in some ways when i started out. Only had a super-mini, mini or penstyle to choose from. I chose a super-mini, wasn't the best choice I could have made but I still thought it was amazing

Definitely need some juice as you say, but cartos aren't really necessary. As for cartridges, I wouldn't bother as you can re use the ones you get & stuff the blanks that come attached to most atties that you buy. Maybe add a drip tip though to try? Very little extra cost & will last for ages.

[Chrissie]

Aldo, the glycerine can be used to cut the nicotine content of juice but it will also reduce the flavour. Well worth getting some in though as it can also cut your cost & it produces more vapour

[Aldo]

there's a drip tip in there Chrissie lool
i tried to edit my post about the flavours cause some of them aren't in stock so it is : hotel and home counties OUT / D'Doff IN

[Perpetua]

Hello Aldo,

I'd actually stick with what you've so far decided on to buy, plus some small bottles of a selection of juice flavours . . . don't buy the economy bottle size, as you'll find your taste buds will change over time. . . so smaller bottles, more flavours is the way to go in my wee opinion and I'd also get some 18mg as well as the 24mg that you're thinking of.

Now, I hope I don't sound 'harsh' here, but the important thing is to buy a kit+ and get started . . . it is, again in my wee opinion, a virtual impossibilty to cover all bases that may or may not be your personal vaping preferences on your first purchase.

You'll probably find, you'll make some great, indifferent and some downright blummin awful buys . . . . we all have. But that's part of the process in discovering what is going to work for you as a vaper. It's rare ( although it does happen ) to get it all right first off.

[Aldo]

and also.... I hope 45ml is enough for the first month... I will then order some from James together with the blue foam I guess o0

[Aldo]

Perpetua you didn't seem harsh at all... I perfectly understand what you're saying and appreciate the "down-to-earth" lecture I'm a bit nervous about not getting enough of this or that cause as I said before, ordering things might turn out a little diff for me, so all this time I took to make this first one was because I'm scared that I run out of attys for example!
thank you

[Chrissie]

Oops I didn't see that Aldo

Perpy is so right Aldo - just get started

[Chrissie]

As you are a fairly light smoker, the 45ml should last you a month - especially if you cut some of it with glycerine. The average that folks get through is supposed to be 2ml a day.

[Aldo]

one last question before I move to checkout! are all the pieces I ordered interchangeable? or at least with the 901 to 510 adapter? the batts (including ego XL) the attys cartridges etc etc
