Hi

[Figgis]

Hi all,

Just a quick intro (and one quick question).

I was made aware of these E-Cigs by an article in The Guardian and went out that same day to buy something called a '10motives' ciggie from Tesco's for a fiver. Just meaning to try it out really, see what all the fuss was about, but it was really odd. I didn't need a rollie ! I couldn't quite believe it to be honest, so I went online, spent a lot of time reading up and ended up ordering a Riva starter kit to give myself a few more options with flavour, etc.

I'm hoping this bigger unit can be a bit more long-term, and more economical, and so far I've dipped back into the rollies until it arrives, so I can build myself up to properly quitting.

Anyway, my question is that this kit comes with 5 cartomisers and one clearomiser. I added a bottle of tobacco tasting liquid and a pick 'n' mix selection, but I can't quite work out whether I can re-use the same cartomiser to try out multiple flavours. Do I have to keep each flavour separate or does washing them out work ?

Sorry if this seems really basic, but I can't quite find anything that describes how to test out the different types and I don't want to ruin my new stuff.

Hi there and #welcome2#

best to stick to one flavour for each cartomiser but the clearomiser can be washed out and used again for other flavours although strong ones like menthol will linger!

have a look here at how to fill these, last 2 posts

Hi Figgis and welcome to the forum.

You are best to keep one cartomiser for each flavour.
If you end up buying more flavours, then just get more cartomisers for them.

Once you find a flavour that you really like and could vape all day, then start using that one in your clearomiser.

In time you will probably get more clearos and cartos as well as more flavours, but take it easy to start with anyway.

Good luck with stopping the fags and starting full time vaping.
I went from 40+ superkings a day to 100% vaping overnight and I have never looked back.

Hi Figgis and welcome

I'm guessing that the kit you bought was the Vape Escape Riva Deluxe kit. It's a fine peice of kit that will help you get off the smokes (if that's what you want to do), it certainly did for me (and I started with the 10 motives recharchables then Riva 1100 then... Well, don't ask, let's just say I haven't really saved much!).

You CAN save plenty of money with E-Cigs if that's the route you want to take and there's some here that have cut their costs down to £15-£20 a month or less.

Anyway to answer your question, the clearo would be the best one to swap flavours BUT you have to wash them out and it can be a bit of a pain doing so.

You'd be better off getting a 510 atomiser where you just drip 4-5 drops in to it and trying them out that way, once the flavour goes add another one and try that. You can wash them in hot water or cold vodka (immerse the whole thing) and leave to dry upside down.

Here's a link to the ones I use with the Rivas. www.vapeescape.co.uk/510-standard-resistance-atomiser~9

If Jason hasn't dispatched your order yet try giving him a bell tomorrow morning to see if he can add one to your order or better yet drop him an email (they start VERY early).

Thanks for the warm welcome - and yes hopefully I can kick these damn rollies into the long grass. It's very inspirational to read some of the tales from people that have managed to kick the damn habit.

Thanks also for the advice on clearos/cartos. I suspect I'll be buying some more clearo's so I can try stuff out until I settle on a particular flavour, then use the cartos on a more regular basis.

(And you're right FirinBlanks, it was the kit you mentioned. I have an email saying my order was dispatched today - I only ordered it last night !)

Bit of an anxious moment. I may actually start quitting the rollies this time tomorrow! I'm actually getting quite nervous.

Cheers all.

Hiya and welcome Figgis.

Yes, a lot of the vendors are very good and quick to send out our items.

Aw, dont be too anxious, you will be so chuffed when you stop the fags or cut down on them.

Good luck for tommos
