Hiya all, Ive just entered the world of e-cigs after being encouraged by a friend of mine to give them a go. I'm only 1 week in and have made some daft mistakes but slowly getting there. I managed to burn the wick in some of the cartomizers (even the v2's), and ruined them.... but other than that so far so good. I have a Riva 510 (and a ego xl battery) and a kr808d-1. I love them both for different reasons. Anyway I thought I would join after I saw a thread on moneysavingexpert (I'm a long term lurker on there). I do have some questions though! 1 - can i get/use/buy bigger catridges for the riva? (so they last longer between refilling) 2 - Ive found I seem to have really gone off the tobacco flavoured juices  . I'm only 2 weeks into use, but the tobacco flavours are too smokey for me. I still have LOADS of tobacco juices left though... can i add other flavours to them to mask the taste? I'm working on a seriously tight budget here lol! Cheers for any advice or words of wisdom! |

Hello & welcome Blue  I'm not a Riva user myself -loads of others here are though As for the juices you are going off - you can always post in our classified & swaps section & see if anyone would like to swap them |

Welcome to the forum Blue. The Riva is the same as the Joye eGo and I know they make large cartomizers for the eGo. I don't know about cartridges though, you would have to check a suppliers website to see what they have.
Why is it that I live only a couple of hundred miles from Maine and the first I heard of the Maine Cooncat was from Chrissie ?? Around here, people just mostly have mongrels.

Hi Blue!  I think I answered you (sorta) in another thread - the clearomisers or giantomisers might cost more than ordinary cartridges but they last longer. And just think how much you'd be spending on cigs  Had you thought of branching out into non-tobacco flavours? It amazes me how many newbies soon move onto them - cherry, coffee, caramel, tiramisu  However, get your priorities right and please post pics of your pets in the Lounge - this is the last page so you're ready to go, no excuses!  scylla |

I'm vaping a very nice strawberry at the moment, and have some praline and a caramel to try too I'm going to try sweetening up the tobacco ones (a 5ml bottle just to try), but if it doesnt work then i'll list the full bottles I have for swapping. |

Hello Blue Try cherry or menthol with your tobacco juices. |

Hi and welcome, i am a newbie 2. 12 days vaping. I ordered some cherry tobacco from TW when i ordered my ecig. It has a very very slight tobacco taste hardly noticable and tastes of creamy cherry. I tried a normal tobacco one last night when a friend wanted to try the e cig with tobacco and it tasted vile to me, so i know where you are coming from.
