Just discovered your site and until 2 days ago I had never heard of vaping! Think I've got my head round what E cigarette I need - going to get the Riva 1100 start-up kit but would like some advice about Juices? I smoke Amber Leaf rollies 15 - 20 a day. What strength juice do I need and is there one that tastes like Amber leaf?
I've been an asthmatic most of my life and have the beginnings of COPD. I've been becoming more and more frightened that I will never be able to give up cigarettes but after looking at this site am very excited at the thought I can. Thank you for any help you can give me. Cheers

Hi Bonn and welcome. Given your current smoking I would suggest you start on 18 or 20mg juice and see how you get on with that. In terms of flavour, there is no e-juice that tastes exactly like tobacco smoke because nothing is burned. I don't do tobacco flavours so someone more quailified will give you advice on what might be close to amber leaf. However - one of the joys of vaping is the mass of flavours that DON'T taste of rotten old tobacco! A lot of vendors do 5ml sample packs - try some different flavours too... maybe fruits or puddings or drinks. And wherever you buy from, check the thread in the shopping board for discount codes

Thanks for that, yep I think I'm really looking forwards to getting away from the taste of tobacco. I take it the flavoured ones still have the Nicotine in them?

Hi Bonn
I was smoking Gold leaf rollies 3 weeks ago.
I also got the Riva 1100 kit - dont forget to get a USB/mains charger and use the discount code for 10% off
Don't do what I did and order loads of tobacco flavours cos i basically haven't used them. I liked Cherry and others like sweeter flavours
There are loads of great flavours out there - get some 5ml samplers til you know what you like
GL and Happy Vaping

Hi Bonn and welcome
I'd recommend Grizwald's Old Holby as it's the closest I've had to a roll up taste. I actually think it tastes more like Amber Leaf than Old Holborn. Although like you I'm a newbie.
Buy some 5ml samples and go from there. I wanted the closest thing I could get to smoking roll ups and loved the Old Holby so ended up buying another 30ml.
Tonight though I'm vaping Oasis Cappucinno and think I've just found a new contender to the throne. It's lush!
Good luck with your vaping adventures.
Oh yeah I also bought the Riva 1100 kit and am loving it.

I'm very new to this and have bought the Riva kit and I'm really pleased with it. I prefer the cartridges to the clearo and have lots of little bottles of e-liquids on the go while I get to grips with all the flavours on offer. I bought mine from Vapeescape using the code allabout gets you 10% off every order and they are very quick off the mark with delivery. Good luck with whatever you decide on

Hello & welcome, Bonn! I'd go with Oneday on getting a sample pack of different juices when you order your kit, you'll be surprised at how enjoyable different fruit & dessert juices can be & as they say, variety is the spice of life & with vaping, you have that choice. Have a look at this thread too... allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/thread/14679/royalvapor-mystic-juice-free-trials?page=25# as I think he's still kindly sending free samples out & his e-liquid is popular & good. Good luck with your vaping journey.

Hi bonn and welcome, I'd try RY4 to get you going, it sort of ticks all of the boxes when you first stop smoking. Well, that's what I found, Ian
