New to forum had a dabble

[tosh1969]

Yes, you're right, Chrissie, but I wish I'd done a little research prior. I'm quite an impulsive child on the quiet. To be honest, I thought these things were a gimmick, so didn't want to spend a lot.

But now I know they're not a gimmick, and are in many ways superior to 'real smoking' (less damaging, less smelly, cheaper, free to vape just about anywhere), I'm hooked.

I also like gadgets.

always smoked golden virg roll ups when i smoked so i suppose that flavour might suit - do i need to order dripper bottles or syringe etc when ordering riva kit.

I'll have a look for some links for you to Jason's site Birdy, he's also a lovely supplier and gives the forum a very kind discount . . . bear with me.

Ok, so firstly this the discount code to use on checkout, it gives forum members a 10% discount: allabout

A juice I'd suggest you get a bottle of to try is his Gold & Silver as it has a ciggie type taste . . . quite important in the beginning to try and find a good tobacco representation flavour - it certainly was for me.

Collie another relatively new vaper, also rates this flavour quite highly.

It's worth getting a few spare atomisers from whoever you do order your kit from as they are the weakest link in the vaping chain and can last from days to weeks/months.

Thanks for that - us newbies are always a nuisance because what is second nature to most forum members can at first be confusing to newbies and i would much rather get a good kit at good price first time and not order in haste and then someone tell me you should have ordered xyand z .

Never ever a nuisance Birdy, we were all in the exact same position as you . . . it's very confusing when you're starting out now, the choice is so large compared to a year or two ago.

Don't ever be afraid to ask something, no matter how silly you might think it sounds.

If you're ordering your kit from Kev at FreedomVape, he does the most delish Caramel ejuice.

[birdy]

so i go to freedom vape site and say order riva 510 inc of free liquid and add a lr atomiser and some virginia 10ml and caramel 5ml do i then get a 10% discount - could someone advise of a clear step by step ,way to get sufficient kit and supplies for a month and in the drop down above nicotine content of flavours what type of liquid do i need .

[Perpetua]

Kev's prices are pretty keen and he offers free P&P so you'll just get a 10% discount on atomisers & juice Birdy - the code is: JUICE10

What I'd suggest you get for a month's worth of vaping are these items, it will of course depend upon your budget as well of course, it's an investment to start off with, but you soon recoup what you would have spent on ciggies.

So your kit is this:

www.freedomvape.co.uk/shop/article_2001/Riva-510-E-Cigarette-Starter-Kit.html?shop_param=cid%3D2%26aid%3D2001%26

Atomisers, I would suggest you get a pack of 5:

www.freedomvape.co.uk/shop/article_2/5-x-LR-510-Atomisers.html?shop_param=cid%3D7%26aid%3D2%26

Or singles:

www.freedomvape.co.uk/shop/article_1/Low-Resistance-(LR)-Atomisers.html?shop_param=cid%3D7%26aid%3D1%26

Juice wise I'd suggest you go for a pick & mix:
www.freedomvape.co.uk/shop/article_1047-001/5-x-5ml-Pick-n-Mix.html?shop_param=cid%3D10%26aid%3D1047-001%26

On the checkout page, you specify to Kev what flavours you'd like, you can choose any 5 flavours from his entire assortment - they are 5ml bottles so won't last you a month - maybe a week or so . . . . but you'll find you want to experiment with juice flavours, so don't go mad on your first order.

I'd suggest trying:

Virgina
RY4
Caramel
Plus a couple of flavours that 'interest' you.

In the drop down menu's specify:

VG/PG ( 60/40 )

Nicotine strength - Med ( 14-20mg )

( Unless you want the high strength of course )

[Chrissie]

Birdy, freedom vapes discount Code is JUICE10 to get 10% off E-liquids and Atomisers. So you wont get the 10% off the Riva kit I'm afraid, but it is such a good price.

For a months supply (your batteries will last far longer than that). I'd go for -
1 x Riva starter kit
2 x 510 LR attomisers (hard to say how long your atties will last, so always best to get extra)

As for e-liquid, I'd go for the VG/PG mix. VG gives you more vapour & PG more throat hit. And go for the medium strength.

As well as the 10ml free & 5ml of caramel, I'd suggest at least a couple more bottles of 5ml of your choice. That makes 25ml & i doubt that will last you a month but you can soon order more juice when you decide which one you like best

Edit, LOL, I was so slow checking things out before posting - Perpy wasn't there

Birdy, go with what Perpy suggests - much better list than mine

Never, ever a nuisance, I was really confused when I first started (still am to some extent )

The kits are some much cheaper now than a year ago, so you're in it at the right time

You're right about spare atomizers, it's always a good idea to have some spares as they are the weak link in your ecig and they can be very unpredictable.

There's so much new kit around now, it's like a sweet shop

[deesigner]

Now I wonder why Perpy suggested caramel and wonder even more if there's any left in anywhere in the entire world

Hi Birdy,

Glad all these wonderful people have giveing you some great advice wish i had of come here on my first journey of ecigs as i started of with the titan 510.Which the battery life was pretty dire really as im a heavy vapor and the riva 510 is a definite YES YES as the battery life will see you thru out the day.

just like to say welcome to the forums and all the help is here if you need it.

[birdy]

Made an order with freedomvape circa £75 for a selection of liquid and sme atomisers + of course the main units .Will re.use if product does what it says on box .Might have been an idea to find a supplier local where i could collect at short notice.

[birdy]

Thought it was free P&P £5 was added at checkout .

[deesigner]

It does say free shipping, I'm sure Kev will answer that query, I'd drop him an email or send him a private message

[Perpetua]

Just discovered this on Kev's site Birdy . . . have you paid as you could split the order in two if not.
