Newbie needs Advice

Well that's why I mentioned it - so it's easier to swap them between devices.

That being said the cartos that come with the SDK aren't bad, I've refilled
them a few times now and they're still going strong.

Richard, the e-cig really is a fantastic alternative to smoking. As well as getting the nicotine, you still get the hand to mouth habit plus the vapour can be so relaxing

Dom, the SD Keyrings aren't really built for LR cartomisers, Best to stick with SR ones with them.

Re the relaxing thing

Don't suppose anyone does one that helps you sleep Do they?

Now that really would be the icing on the cake

You can update this thread or start a new one. If you're really ambitious you could do a "Newbie review" of the stuff you get in the reviews section. Just read the forums and feel free to jump in at any time.

Hi Whuf

If you look at my recent posts in this bit, you'll see I started 8 days ago with a Riva and SD Keyring and I haven't wanted or needed a cig since then - a miracle for me. Have thought about them ( I don't know why) but not even had a try. Happily using Riva at work. Find them both great in their own way. It really feels to me like smoking, but with flavour. I started on 18 or 20 mg and was a 20 - 25 nomal strength daily. I ordered from Jason at Vape Escape too and found him very helpful. Since then ordered more Rivas for family and workmates - same great service.

My tip - I got a mix of Boge SR and Kanger LR cartomisers and as has been said you're not supposed to use the LR ones on the SDK. However, as I got the Riva in silver (and the SDK is silver too) I got all cartomisers in stainless steel. So my tip is get one lot in black so you know which are which!

Sure you will enjoy this. Can't really advise on flavours as I'm enjoying the caramel type flavours most - may be too sweet for you. The tobacco types remind me of sweaty socks but I do like Cherry Pipe - not sweet and to me is very true to description. Not ciggy like, but like the pipe stuff from tobacconist shop, IMO.

Hello Kev

My second choice team

I remember the Keegan days both as player and manager (entertaining was the word) Glad to see them doing well under Pards

Have spent many an entertaining weekend in Newcastle

However i have two friends who are Mackem supporters (in Essex ) and they don't share my love for some reason

Have been to the SoL three times but only wandered around SJP (or SDA - never going to work the naming thing is it) once, never been in Looks fab// Great atmosphere

Wow

16 posts in my first night

What a great friendly forum

Thanks

(and i've spent 25 years thinking smoking was the great social thing) Any training course, hotel stay or pub has always been the smokers gathering outside and chatting whilst the others stare nervously at the floor or the ceiling, struggling.
