Am I doing something wrong?

[zeldamum]

Had my Ve Rive 1100 since yesterday morning. used it for the 1st time at about 11.30 filled up the clearomiser attached to the battery.

Still haven't gone through half of the juice in that time, really thought I would have had to refill it at least a couple of times by now.

I want to try a different flavour and have no idea how to change the clearomiser to the cartomiser?

Hello Zeldamum

Turn off the battery 3 clicks for the riva I think? unscrew the clearmister anticlockwise holding it at the silver ring and not the clear tube "you may end up with a lapfull of juice if you do that". Put on the cartomiser part but have no idea about them sorry haven't used them but filling etc is on VE

Hi Zeldasmum I can only tell you what I would do but I am a bit of a novice too Unscrew the clearo and stand it up so you don't lose your juice from it Screw a cart on and flip the white cap off with the prong of a fork, all very technical, hold the cart at 45% and slowly fill with your chosen juice. Either replace the white cap or replace with your drip tip I would do the latter cos I hate those plastic caps If I'm wrong someone will be along in a little while but that is how I've filled carts in the past

Hi Zeldamum.. Yes vaping is very economical. Even for a very heavy vaper a clearo will last a few days. If you want to change from the clearo to a carto, simply unscrew the clearo, but make sure you unscrew it at its lowest point just above the battery button. Unscrew in the wrong place and you will lose the liquid from the clear0.

Just a side note to what sue said... It isn't necessary to keep the clearo upright. It cant leak from the top. Indeed if the clearo is going down in level its better to keep it on its side to keep the wick soaked
But her method for filling a carto is correct.. assuming its not prefilled . I will be surprised if you prefer the carto to the clearo tho.

Zelda, have a look at this video to show you how to fill your cartomisers -



Once filled, don't put the small white bung back in, instead replace it with the drip tip that came with your kit

You will then need to keep it topped up by removing the drip tip & dropping a few drops into the wadding.

Thank you so much:-)

Changed it. Now I can try different flavours. Davy some did spill out of the carto, my fault I removed the tip. I also do prefer the clearo, so when I next order juice more clearos will be ordered as well. Nice to be able to change flavours often.

I just realised what I typed in my reply.. I was actually referring to the clearo that you removed that definitely doesn't need to stay upright... But yes I did type carto (several times) and yes a carto would definitely leak.. Sorry about that

I modified my other post

There'll be no stopping you now zelda................get ya purse out......

[zeldamum]

yep no stopping me now.

Cherry flavour is quite nice, better than Virgina, will try another flavour tomorrow, want to give each one a decent try before buying larger amounts.

Only had 4 rollies today, I am happy so far.

Well done you...
Everyone is different. When I started I had only planned on tobacco flavours. However after receiving lots of samples I really fell for the sweeter stuff such as Griswalds Banoffee and the world famous GVC...I do however always need a tobacco flavour first thing.. Hopefully it will get to the point that you actually prefer vaping to smoking.

[Neil from Valley Vapes]

once you get a flavour you like you wont want any rollies lol.

[zeldamum]

Glad to hear I wont want the rollies anymore.

I have just ordered a stronger strength in Cherry which so far is one I quite liked. I am hoping it will help.

I also ordered some more samples in sweeter flavours and more clearos.

I am pleased that I have still had less than quarter of the rollies I would have normally smoked.

[sue1952]

:)Well done Zeldasmum so pleased you're enjoying your experience. I love it

A few hours more like.

[zeldamum]

Maybe thats what I am doing wrong, not vaping enough. Only Clearo lasted 2 days.

Time to get vaping
