Thanks Jason and everyone else. I will put an order in a bit later this evening. Quick question - I've just been looking at the 'Pick 'n' Mix and I have to be honest, the idea of vaping a Banoffee Pie or a Strawberry Sundae doesn't really appeal . Which flavours best simulate the tobacco smoking experience? ???

You'll find that anyone's tobacco flavours are really a representation of a ciggie flavour rather than the actual thing Mazz . . . I'd pick up a menthol/tabac flavour in your pick and mix, even if you didn't smoke menthol, it's quite a pleasant vape. Some of the more 'exotic' flavours may not appeal to you just yet, but keep an open mind . . . I'm currently vaping: Tiramisu English Toffee Cinnamon Danish Blueberry All very yummy!

OK. Just placed my first order . I've gone for the deluxe kit and two 30ml bottles of liquid (deluxe tobacco and 555 - I'll try a pudding next time ). Couple of quickies - if I understand correctly, Jason will send me two packs of cartomizers with 5 in each (is that right? ???). Now obviously they can be refilled but .......... 1) How long does each one last roughly? 2) Does one need to be refilled with the same liquid each time? And batteries ......... 1) How long do they tend to last (per charge and lifespan) 2) Should I buy a spare do you think? Many thanks

Most of those questions really depends on how much you intend on vaping, apart from cartos: Does one need to be refilled with the same liquid each time? That's up to you. I've mixed different flavours in them, but sometimes they've been horrible! I had 3 batteries for my Riva and alternated them. They can be charged several hundred times I think, not certain on that one though. One battery lasted me a day of vaping.

As Anne says Mazz . . . I find that carto's last me anything from 3-7 days before I chuck them depending on how much they've been used.
When the draw starts to get tight & the flavour yukky, then's the time that they're past their best.

Hi Mazz and welcome to this excellent site.
i received my riva 1100 on saturday morning from jason and apart from initial charges on both batteries, i havent had to recharge either yet, and im almost chain vaping.
dont be put off if the flavours are not what you expect when you start off, i found the menthal was the best one, even though i hadnt smoked them since i was about 16-17 years old. The juice should really be left to mature for a couple of days ideally, but you will still get an idea of the throat hit right from the off. good luck and keep us informed of your experience. wer`e nosey boogers on here

I really don't think you need to buy another battery - the 2 you get with the kit should last you several months

Well the good news is, my kit arrived today! Yippee! Full marks Jason - wow, how fast was that? The bad news is ....... it's teasing me! I want to try it. But it looks like I'm going to have to wait until tomorrow. I've just read the instructions and I have to give it an initial 8 hour charge, use for 20 minutes and then charge for another hour. But I have to go and do a 12 hour nightshift at 5pm so it looks like tomorrow for me . I take it this charging proceedure is important and that I must behave myself ( ) ?

Just ignore the instructions, they are only put there to tease The batteries will have a factory charge in them. Just put them on charge when you get chance. Go for it

Yeah ignore that initial charge bumph..... you do not need to do this and it will not harm your batteries! Just stick one on charge while you use the other.
