Riva 1100 Deluxe

[susieshoes]

Thanks for your replies folks.. I feel pretty dizzy (say nowt) and shakey so might be because I was using menthol stinks and only converted to skycigs (which as you all know are weak yet expensive) I'v bought 18mg's of nic juices so might need to try a weaker one when I next order? I guess it's a bit of trial and error with this vape lark..

Susie from new my batteries have taken about 2 hours each to charge & someone said not to overcharge as the batteries can explode.
I used to smoke about 15 Regal per day & I use approx a full clearo per day which is 1.6 mil, when I go out on the lash I use about half as much extra than that, I fill mine each night before going to bed so the wicks have plenty of time to soak, & I read on here never to let clear's go lower than 0.8 then you won't get the burnt taste, 0.8 is about half way so when mine reach half I change the clearo over, this works ok for me so I'm happy with it

Ah thanks for that Din.. I'm happy I found you guys otherwise I'd be lost

You're welcome I was in same place as you until 3 weeks ago, I had been using a V2 cig alike from 20th march for 6weeks but was still needing 4 fags as well each day, then I found AAE-C & you know my story from there as I told you last night, lovely, helpful, friendly peeps on here with a wealth of knowledge, anything you need to know just ask, no one gets fed up of answering any questions

susieshoes if you go to boots chemist you can get value health Glycerin B.P. (they sell as treatment for coughs & sore throat ) its VG and you can add a little ( I add 10% Vodka to it to dilute, some use distilled water) to your 18mg liquid to lower strength & you will be Vaping like a train (more VG = more imitation smoke)

Yep, it's more than likely the nic is too high to what you've been used to, don't throw the 18mg though, you could buy some 0mg same flavour and dilute it to a lower strength. I recently met someone who smoked menthol cigs, when they'd started vaping they'd bought 24mg nic and felt really spewy and dizzy at first, so it's pretty common with people who smoked menthol or were light smokers.

Ignore the 8 hours thing susieshoes This used to be the advice given for new batteries of this type 2 or more years ago and somehow has lingered on - it used to appear in information sheets that got sent out in kits from China and I suspect they just never got around to changing it in some cases
Just charge until the charger light goes green and you will be fine, no need or benefit for keeping on charge any longer.

As to how long it takes, USB chargers do vary a bit, but from completely flat it usually takes 3+ hours. You would normally re-charge before it gets down to that level as you won't be getting much oomph from your battery as it gets lower There is certainly no need to run them right down before re-charging - you can put them on charge at any time as they have no memory.

I'm not sure what you are plugging your charger into but you get best results going through a mains adaptor. If you plug into a computer USB port it can slow things down a bit, especially if you are using USB connections for other things at the same time.

Oh thanks Fid sounds good. I am laid up right now with a back problem (ongoing for the past 20yrs) and waiting for 2 operations (one c spine and one lumbar) so can't get out without the hubby driving me.. I will do that on saturday though and thanks again

Thanks and yes I am using a mains charger but only the usb mains charger from my skycig charging kit. I also have one from my iphone that fits.. Do you think it makes a difference what make the charging plug is? as I didnt get one with the Riva. It has to be purchased seperately and I didnt realise when I ordered it..

susieshoes charger is fine, iphone one may be better try it. USB is a standard and anything with usb charger will work but iphone charger does put out higher current if ecig will accept it so try it.

Back sounds painfull tip for future though stop jumping off wardrobe or if you do make sure you land on bed

Haha Thanks for the charger advice but you seriously don't want to know how the spinal injury happened, unless you want to be reduced to a member of an angry mob!
