Hi Birdy,i am sure most will advise you to get a Riva/Tornado 510.I dont know much though cuz i am naughty.Welcome to the forum.
NNN xx

Hi Birdy

As Netty said, you will be better off going for something with a better battery and larger capacity.

It's a world of difference from the cheap imitations.

Hope you enjoy your time here.

Hello Birdie, lovely to see you! Here's a link to a great kit which will give you a satisfying vape and lots of options to get adventurous later on (with juice tanks etc but we won't go into that now ):

Don't be concerned that this is not a ciggie lookalike - you'll thank yourself for getting it cos it lasts longer between charges and gives a more vapourful vape

Will take a look at any suggests - the ecig i have used that looks like a normal cig was ok to a point though some flavour filters were almost unusable because of lack of flavour /hit or just duff examples - smoked mainly tobacco flavour high nicotine - my fav were blueberry, and menthol was pretty good .Do i need a nicotine content to make a difference .

[VE Jason]

The nicotine content does make a difference Birdy.

It obviously has an effect on your cravings, but also throat hit.

Medium strengths are a good place to start and you can then adjust depending on the results.

[birdy]

Also what would i order as regards liquid as i presume unlike the ecig i have used you need with this type to buy bottles of liquid to add to some cig container - what is the drop down box above nicotine strength referring to ? .Is there a bargain bundle worth a dabble that would give say at least a months supply .

Scylla,

After a bit of dithering, I've taken up you suggestion to Birdy, and ordered one of those from the link you provided. Thanks.

I can't wait.

I'm sucking on nicotine lozenges at the mo 'cos I'm waiting on my juice delivery.

[birdy]

But what did you order as regards liquid and how long would the free/included amount last with average use.- its a bit of a minefield knowing what flavour or nicotine content to go for - as advised i think starting with medium nicotine ,as for flavour who knows i suppose its each to their own .

Hi Birdy, welcome to Allaboute

Like the others I would advise something like a Riva 510. As for liquid, I would say have a play aound. There are several good tobacco flavours you can try. I love RY4 and Bensons Fences from James at Paradise vapes.

Personally I would go with medium strength as a starting point, that way you can go either up or down if it's not quite hitting the mark.

You can buy 5ml bottles which will give you the chance to get a good range and try different flavours.

Hi Birdy & welcome

The 10ml bottle of juice (e-liquid) that comes with the kit in Scylla's link will last you roughly between 2& 5 days - depending on how much you vape/used to smoke.

To help you understand what all the parts of an e-cig are called, etc. Have a look at the pics & vids thread -

Hi Birdy,

When it comes to flavours and stuff, I'm not overly fussy; I like my nicotine first and foremost. I've got a couple of bottles I've already ordered (Golden Virginia and coconut at high strength), so with the Riva I thought for the free sample I would choose the Green Apple, because I like apples!

I think the general advice is not to order large quantities of anything until you find out what you like.

But I've only been vaping for one day, only ever used the free samples that came with my starter kit, so I'm far from experienced.

Oh, and my 510 starter kit at £27.00 wasn't much cop; though it's okay; but the batteries don't last long at all, and the Riva - from the reviews I've seen and read - say one battery will last all day for a moderately heavy vapour user.

So, really, if I'd done my research as you are doing, I'd've saved myself a few quid.

Hi birdy, welcome to the forum.

[Chrissie]

Tosh, you haven't really wasted any money by buying a 510 kit first (though we could have found one a few quid cheaper for you ), as you can use the atties with the Riva. Plus it's always handy to have a spare e-cig (or 2 or 3 ) kicking around.

[birdy]

i am already getting confused (my age ) is the riva / tornado 510 the one to go for even if say £100 was available for some kit ,would extra atomisers be advisable along with a supply of liquids or would i likely go for a higher spec model within a short time .
