Even though it's helpful to read other threads to gain knowledge, it's even more helpful to jump straight in and ask the most basic of questions.

No one e-cig is right for everyone and it's really key to ask questions so that you get the right one for YOU, the right weight, ease of use, the right size, the right battery life, what you smoke at the moment, etc - all of these things will help others to find something that's right for you.

It's been said loads of times and it's 100% true - there's no 'stupid' questions, every question asked and answered will help someone else so please be brave and jump in. Everyone's so friendly and helpful here so go for it :-)

I decided to sign up and say hello.... So this is me, saying hello... Hello

I am very new to vaping, I stumbled upon the VIP ecig being sold in my local shopping centre and as a 20+ a day smoker decided to give it a go, it worked great and I've been 'analogue' free for over 3 weeks, and to be honest it's been easy.

Now the VIP is a little limited, don't get me wrong, I've tried some other super mini's since purchasing it, and none seem to be as good for me, and I will always keep my VIP for when I'm out of the house, but the limitations of it have made me decide to upgrade. I know I want a riva 510, easy huh? Well first question is, cheapest place to buy a decent riva 510 cartomiser kit, I am looking at the one on Liberty flights with the 15% off at the minute, comes in at around £29 I think, is there anywhere cheaper?

Another little question I want to ask is, am I going to die??? What I mean is, when I first started vaping I was doing it much the same as smoking, 5 - 10 draws on a 24mg carto, 20 times a day... that was fine for a week or so, but now I'm finding more and more that I can't put it down, I just like it that much. Am I going to O.D on nicotine lol?

Hello & welcome Alvoram

The Liberty Flight deal is a good one, but will see if I can find you a better deal

As for "are you gong to die" The answer to that is yes I'm afraid - sometime within the next 100 years Seriously though, most folks do find they vape more than they smoked. But the e-cig doesn't have the thousands of harmful chemicals that real cigs have.

I think you`ll find that most of us vape away more often than on analogues, but you tend not to put a smelly down for 5 minutes or more at a time like you can with an ecig. so it might seem like you are "smoking" more, but in reality, you`re not.
i also started on VIP cigs, and like you, i enjoyed them, until i realised there was something better out there. i bought the riva 1100 off jason at www.vapeescape.com and he did the whole package with 2 batteries, 5 boge cartomisers, 5 kanger cartomisers, drip tip, charger, and juice, delivered for about £32, i think.

[Chrissie]

Was just about to say the say as Brian. Vape escape's Riva is a better deal as it comes with a longer lasting 1100mAh battery plus if you request at check out that you want cartomisers instead of atomisers, you will get 10 instead of the 5 from Liberty Flights. Use discount code "allabout" for 10% off-

Same as with Liberty Flights, you will need some e-liquid to fill the cartomisers.

Apart from more time between uses another thing that can make us use our e-cig more is if the nicotine is to low, although it sounds like you found a great lvl for you cos your finding it easy if you do feel like your craveing and the e-cig just doesnt cut it you might need to go the next strength higher.

If you do decide to get a higher stregth to try that then just be aware of the signs of it being to high for you, dizzy, nauseas, headache those type of things. Althogh there could be other explainations, it's something to bear in mind if you start fiddling

The Riva is a great step up and will provide you with lots of options for accessories

[alvoram]

OK thanks for that, looks like a great deal... Don't worry I got various E-liquid flavours off Liberty when I found out you could refill the VIP cartos

So now the choice is black or white, I like them both... ah decisions, decisions... lol

Edit: and thanks for the advice Jemima, I was just a little concerned, Nicotine overdose seems to be the only real ecig risk publicised, Just wondered how much of a risk it really was.

lets have a vote..........i`d go black

[Jemima]

White

Bear in mind if you do go white, some of them can start to go off white a little quickly. And then you learn how to spray paint lol (ok thats a little drastic but I was bored lol)

Sorry Brian I'm not rude, just blind, and stupid, I missed your post...

Perhaps Jason could do me a deal as good as that, Now how do I find Jason?

[Gordy]

hi alvoram and a welcome from me too ...my votes for black, much easier to find black cartos

[dave]

Welcome from me too alvoram - looks like you are all sorted! I started with a black Riva (still using it!) so obvious where my vote is going
