They should just push over the atty space. They are a tight fit mind. Maybe you have the wrong drip tips?

No, they're both exactly the same size and both are quite hard plastic - particularly the tip, so it can't even be prised on.

Also how do you guys actually use these? What I mean is, do you have one single "toot" to equal a cigarette, or occasional "toot" sessions in the same way you would smoke a cigarette?

You definitely ordered 306 drip tips & not 510's?

You will find you most likely need to use your e-cig for longer than what you would smoke a real cig. So certainly a lot more than a quick "toot"

So it's the end of my first week vaping and it's gone really well! Despite me still having quite a lot of rolling tobacco left over, I've not touched cigarettes since the moment the liquids arrived. There's only been a couple of occasions when I've gone to roll a cigarette, but that was more from habit rather than anything else. A quick vape and I soon forgot about it.

The Vamo with the Viva Nova works great - I use the variable voltage feature on the Vamo quite a bit, and a 18650 battery lasts me about a day and a half. I'm really happy with what I've bought, but the charger included with the Vamo is very cheap and flimsy, so if anything that's the only thing I would consider upgrading.

I bought a selection of ten 10mg eLiquids with different nicotine strengths from LTcigs. A couple I didn't really like and I've not tried all of them to be honest (I bought several different tobacco flavour, and I've not bothered with a few of them yet). My favorite has been the Blackcurrent/Licorice/Menthol at 20mg. I've finished that bottle and now I using up the very similar Blackcurrent/Licorice, also at 20mg.

Overall it has been a great success so far. The last couple of days I've noticed an improved sense of taste and smell and I'm sure over the next few weeks I'll notice having healthier lungs too. It's great not stinking of fags all the time - either on my clothes or the house.

Thanks for the advice from everyone on here - without your input I would have bought totally different things, which would probably have left me disappointed.

Hello Space
Glad its going well for you.

I was a heavy roll up smoker also but after 6 weeks vaping i can honestly say i would nt go back to smoking rollies.
Health has definately imroved and ive been finding the last week or so that if i can t get a nicotine hit because of work or whatever the cravings are no where near as bad as with cigarettes.

Your one step ahead of me as im only just coming round to moving away from tobacco flavours (My original thought was to replicate smoking as closely as possible but now i see vaping as something completely detached from smoking and although im still looking for the vaping equivelent of the perfect tobacco for me, im getting used to the idea of changing flavours throughout the day.......could nt do that easily withsmoking rollies

Good Luck with it all

PS I wondered if i was overdoing it at the beginning but my advice for at least just now would be not to worry how much or often you vape(within sensible reason of course) as it seems to settle down after a few weeks(your head will let you know when its too much just as oversmoking did)...priority now being to do whatever to stay away from smoking cigarettes / rollies.....then bring it back into line after your settled in to vaping

Delighted to hear your update Space.


Some flavours are a revelation aren't they, ones we'd never have dreamed of smoking, turn out to be a lovely vape.

Space did you get your 306 atomiser and drip tips sorted?

If you did, what was the problem?

Well I've noticed people talking about that, and to be honest I don't see the appeal. I made a point of getting quality stuff from the start to avoid the need to upgrade, and I'm really happy with the quality of the SS Vamo and the Vivi - the only possible upgrade that I can see would be a Provari and there's no way I'm going to spend that kind of cash!

I will be trying a lot of new flavors though and I also hope to gradually cut down the nicotine levels.

No I didn't get round to sorting it. You don't really need the drip tip if you're just having a few tokes to sample a flavour, but it is better to use one, so I'll contact the seller later.

Hi Space so glad it's going well for you, I might try the liquorice and blackcurrant, I like the sound of that.

I've solved the reason why the 306 drip tip didn't fit my 306 atomiser - the atomiser comes fitted with a black sleeve, which I thought was part of the atomiser itself, when in fact it's just a protective cover! I was using the protective sleeve as the drip tip! Now I've removed the sleeve the real drip tip fits no problem at all.

hi space
seems i missed the welcoming party
none the less well done on the transformation to a healthier life :-D

great advice been given as per usual all along this thread

the only real thing i would add is

trying lots of juices can be expensive ,,and the juices you dont like can be advertised here in the classies for sale :-) or swap :-)

my number 1 tip i give to every new user is find your local vendor ,,most of whom will let you try out juices at the shop/stall
every town up and down the country as new stores/market stalls popping up ..and most will let you try all there juices so you can find one you like with out having to fork out and be out of pocket when u find you dont like them

well not much more to add other than stick around and the best of luck to you in kicking the stinkies for good :-)

Thanks for the tip millerkev. The ten bottles of "sample" flavours I bought have been by far the biggest waste of money, but it has helped me find 2-3 flavours I really like. It would be good to offload the ones I don't want, so I'll consider selling them on and I'll certainly visit some shops in future to find some new flavours that I like. The shops seem to be popping up everywhere, or maybe I just didn't notice them before!
