Hello - equipment help please?

[djs]

Hi Penny. Welcome to AAEC.

Your story sounds similar to mine. I tried E-Lites, then moved onto JacVapour. When you say JacVapour - do mean the V3 "mini" e-cigs or the larger V-go e-cigs?

If it's the small V3 ones and your sister finds them too big, I'm afraid I'm going to cry into my tea.....

Rivas are excellent and the "default" choice along with generic "ego" batteries. I cannot and will not say anything negative about such a great e-cig. However, if you are committed to vaping, and want the "best" then I would suggest going the whole way and add to your collection soon , look at a VV (variable voltage) battery, either in an ego style/size device or a "mod" type battery.

Yesterday, after 8 months of happy Riva-ing, I went to a double "Spinner" kit. I first got a Spinner after inadvertently killing a Riva battery and deciding to take the plunge about 5 months ago. Ignoring my Lavatube and Joyetech "Tube mod" (which can do days on end) the Spinner is the best way to enjoy vaping i.m.o.

Good luck.

Penny, As you have ordered the Riva you will like this: allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/thread/19393/riva-1100-step-guide

Everything to get you on your way

Wow, brilliant!  Thank you so much. It'll sound daft but although I still have a few cravings for analogues, I do enjoy vaping and really can't wait for the Riva to arrive.  So I'm going to sit here like a saddo and watch those vids LOL.

Hi Penny, nice to meet you

it's normal to still have a few cravings for a ciggie, hopefully it will pass when you get a kit and e-juice to suit you!

Hi Penny, and welcome to the forum! You've already received great advice so it only remains for me to say 'enjoy your new toy' and do let us know how you get on with it!

Dave - thanks for all the pointers!

djs - prepare to commence diluting your tea with tears - yes, it's the V3 minis that my sis says are "far too big and heavy". *shakes head* She had a go of a Skycig today, but I'm determined to get her to try the Riva. I'm meeting her on Friday and I'll have it with me. If it's a fraction as good as people say, hopefully she'll be convinced.

And no doubt in a few months I'll be wanting to give something else a try. I had to look up the Spinner... Am I going to wind up starting a collection??

Everyone else - thanks for the welcome :-) It just seems so unfair that vapescape don't have a teleporter. Why can't it be here already? I think the poor little JacVapours are going to be very neglected after the post arrives tomorrow.

She will be convinced, trust me

Hi Penny, Welcome a lot of good advice there, Dave has hit in the head about how to achieve the throat hit you are after.

Hi penny and welcome don't worry about your jac being neglected,mine prooved very useful in letting current smokers try and like the concept ,whilst the vammo i use is often too strong for someone never trying vapeing beforee

Agreeing with Andy, and also these wee cig-a-likes have their place! I always have a couple in my bag as emergency back up/not a good place to pull out a huge mod situations

Hi penny &


Just to add enjoy your kit when it arrives

I drunk it anyway...it was a little weak t.b.h.

V3s are teeny weeny; hardly bigger than the awful minis I feel the need to rant about.

I still use most of my JacVapour stuff. I have liquids and cartos (which can be attached to a Riva with the correct adapter)

I also take my Jac V3s to a local super"mall" - you know, an out of town shopping centre place where the "competition" lives and hunts down unsuspecting smokers looking to try e-cigs. I stand outside with the real smokers in a shelter, puffing on my green or blue LED jacvapour until someone asks me if it's "the one they sell indoors"......

and then, .....drum roll...... well, it's kind of obvious what I then say.

Hi Penny and welcome

Hello penny and

[penny]

IT'S HERE IT'S HERE IT'S HERE!!! Great service from vapeescape.

I've filled a carto with Grizwald's Peanut Butter (at least I think it's full - put quite a few drops in. Didn't want to chance doing the condom method for the first time at work). One batt on charge, guessing it's safe to use the other one without fully charging it - it won't damage it? I don't think I have the patience to wait for one of the batts to fully charge.

And it's not too big at all, it's a great size. I'm sitting here grinning like an idiot and fidgeting in my seat like a four year old who desperately needs the bathroom. Trying to wait to let the liquid soak in a bit more before I run off to a quiet corner to give it a go.

Thanks to everyone else for the welcome :-D
