Help please for a newbie

[shezzie]

Hello, well I've been reading and am a little confused about exactly what I should buy to get me started on Ecigs.

Are there any shops selling these products where I could have a look? I'm in the Bath area.

I'm a very heavy cigarette smoker of 20+ a day and would love to get started on something that would help me cut back.

So recommendations in simple terms please.

Hello & welcome Shezzie

As far as I know there aren't any e-cig shops in the Bath area where you could have a look.

For starters have a look at the video & pic thread to give you an idea about the different kinds of e-cigs & how they work -

As you smoke 20+ a day, the real cig lookalikes, just aren't going to cut it for you, so you would do best going for something like a Riva.

Welcome, Shezzie and I agree with Chrissie, go with the Riva.

[shezzie]

Thank you Jungle

Chrissie, I've been looking and not sure what to choose. I want to buy the simplest non fiddly starter set as am not very good at putting things together...... Really keen to buy a set but dont want to waste my money (although do plenty of that with each pack of 20).

Is that the Riva 510 or 1100?

Welcome Shezzie

and Jungle

It speaks volumes for the Riva, that loads who started on them are still using them a year or more, later...

you may read references to Tornegoriva in here, its our made up name for the Tornado, Ego & Riva, which are essentially the same model, just by different manufacturers...

[Chrissie]

Shezzie, the Riva 510 with the 1100 mAh batteries would be the best for you to go for. Lol, I always fel a bit bad about mainly just linking to Vape Escapes Riva kits, but I do think they are about the best deal for a beginner. www.vapeescape.co.uk/the-riva-1100-deluxe-kit-%5Bideal-for-beginners%5D~151 & use discount code "allabout" for 10% off. You will also need to buy some e-liquid & I think a high strength of 24mg would be good to at least start off with.

[shezzie]

Thank you so much, just have to choose my colour now lol

Gotta a silver one with a selection of juices! So I'll be back on Tuesday after it arrives and tested out lol

Hello Shezzie and welcome to a great forum, the advice you have been given is really good, you will love the kit in the link, I started on one the same under a different name and I have not smoked since :-)
