OMG - Just had my first Vape! This stuff is amazing!

Thanks everyone for all the tips - cant believe Ive been missing out on this for so long!

Hi Nig

Bit of a confession here.....

I didn't pack your order yesterday so didn't see the delivery address until I sent out the despatch emails last night.

As it happens, I could have thrown it to you, because we are only based 1/2 mile away from your delivery address, sorry about that :-[

But at least if you need any help you can always call down and have a brew in your lunch hour

Yeah do that Nig & take his pic when he's not looking! LOL

[Sandra (aka Chillax)]

So glad your enjoying your vaping :-)

Had a strange night last night following my vaping - awoke with a really dry mouth, throat, etc - but with a really clear nose (a clear nose? cant remember that feeling!). Am assuming its a combination of no fags and plenty vaping!

Anyway theres still a couple of points Im still not clear on to be honest. First, the cartridge. When you fill one up how long should it then last? Im assuming its ok to 'top it up', but am not too sure as to how many times I should do this. Would it be right to say use a cartridge for a day, and then replace with a new one - or should I be able to get more shelf life out it - 2, 3 days? Or am I completely wrong and should I be throwing them after each use (would be suprised if this was the case, but cant be too sure).

I also went to fill up a smokerizer cartomiser this morning - which I understand lasts a lot longer than a normal cartridge. However I quickly realised that if I were to simply try and fill it up by 'dripping' in to the tiny hole under the black rubber bung it'd take ages! Presumably there are easier methods?

Oh and in the Riva kit there was a charger box which was empty - but there was a seperate plug with a USB adapter. Presumably this was in place of the empty charger box - would this sound correct?

And no worries Jason - just pleased they arrived so pronto. Actually you may well be able to help me with my above queries first hand, so I may well take you up on your offer and pay you a lunch time visit, along with my canon camera. Then again I may just accidentally leave the camera in the office - what'dya reckon?

Hi Nig, I use the smokeymizers i put a bung on the bottom then take the little black plug out the top & using a syringe & blunt needle i fill it in the little hole the black plug came out. Put black plug back in take bung off & screw in to batt

Hi Nig

To answer a few of your queries....

The cartridges that came with the Riva can be topped up as often as you like. Just add a few drops to the foam wadding (until it's wet but not dripping - looking like a Slush Puppy).

Boge and Kanger cartomisers are the same - fill them well at the start (27-30 drops) then just top up as the flavour diminishes (5-6 drops at a time).

Smokeymizers are filled by removing the tiny black bung (after fitting the plastic condom over the battery connector - to stop leaks) and then filling with the syringe needle (leave a small air gap).

Fill them slowly and at a 45 degree angle to allow the air to escape at the side of the needle.

Replace the black plug and give it a quick blow through onto a tissue and you ae good to go.

Most importantly with the Smokymizers - Don't overtighten them on your batteries. They only need to touch to work.

Sorry for the rushed reply, it's a bit hectic today with Vapefest about to happen

Nig, re your dry mouth. Vaping can make you a bit dehydrated so it's a good idea to drink more water (or fruit juice), especially if you have a heavy vaping session

[Gordy]

looks like everything has been covered... i feel redundant LOL

clear nose looks like you are getting some of the benefits already

[Sandra (aka Chillax)]

When I smoked I always had to have a drink of Tea because of the nasty taste fags left in my mouth
Because of everyone's advice I try and have a drink by the side of me most of the time but keep forgetting to drink it, I just seem to not be as thirsty vaping as I was smoking but I do try to keep drinking as much as I can remember.

[Perpetua]

I used to go through mints like there was no tomorrow Chillax, as I couldn't bear the taste of ciggies either . . . now it's gallons of liquid to keep hydrated as Vaping does make me very dry.

Unfortunately, what goes in, has to come out with me.

[Sue (AKA ) milosmum]

It does make you very de-hydrated you have to drink lots! & as you say Perpy......what goes in........... LOL I get a headache if i dont keep drinking

[Chrissie]

Just to add to the info so far, Propylene Glycol in particular is a humectant - very interesting (& long thread about the issue currently on ECF -
