Hi... From me

[alvoram]

I live in a small cul-de-sac, which only has a few houses, my theory is that this other Saturday postie hides them until he has so many he has to come down here GRRR, I'm gonna have a word with my regular postie, see what she says.

Thanks for the tip RE the switch Martin. I almost blew my head off when I took a 5 second draw on an LR atty, yes a couple of seconds is plenty for me. But Shhh don't get me started on more juices, I already have a list of 9 I'm ordering Tuesday, and my partners choices too, although all 5ml, we're gonna stick to 5ml's until we've tried many, and know what we like

[Martin]

yeah, that could well explain it. (not saying it is) I know I've heard "that some posties won't even pick parcels up and leave them for another to do" not sure if thats so, or if they can do that just heresay I guess.. but would explain some of the anomolies I guess..

hmm.. and yeah, it makes sense to get 5ml, though if it's one I like I tend to go through it pretty quick, I've also discovered a few I don't like and barely touched them so would of been a waste to get anyting bigger.. heh, still exciting though shopping for new flavours:) oh aye!..

[glow=red,2,300]there is an off switch too on the batteries, if you click the button really quick 3 times it will flash and turn off the battery so you can put it in your pocket etc, and same again to turn it back on.. [/glow][glow=red,2,300][/glow]

There have been three or four occasions when I have done this inadvertedly and thought my Riva was broken it has always happened on my way to work so I have spent the next couple of hours worrying about it! I am going to put this in its own Thread incase anyone else is as BLONDE as me!!!

Thanks Martin

[Martin]

sometimes I wish I was blonde... it seems like a helluva lot of fun..(might dye it later..heh)

[kirsty0108]

well I haven't been blonde for over a year but it doesn't seem to help my brain work any better

[Martin]

Meh!.. Brains are overated....

Glad your Riva arrived - its different isn't it from the lookalikes but oh so good

I would phone the Royal Mail - we had problems last year we would not get mail ever on from M - Th and then a pile on Fri and Sat and even then it would include mail sent a week or more before. Came to a head in Aug when I bought a Kindle and date when Amazon said it should be with me at latest came and went and no kindle, so called them and they said call Royal Mail - the even gave me the phone number and if no luck they would resend. Called and explained and was given the sorting offices number ( its half a mile from me). Spoke to someone and asked if there was any parcels there, explaining one was rather expensive Kindle and got told oh no everything is delivered as soon as it arrives. Less than 10 mins later RM van pulls up and out comes a postman with quite a few letters and parcels. He told me that as there was a bit of a shortage of Postmen on my round they had been putting parcels aside to be delivered when it was felt there were enough to make the journey worth while in a van. Of course when I said about my kindle that panicked them a bit so it was decided they had better deliver it and the other things waiting to come to me ( things from USA that I thought were taking a bit longer than usual ). For a while post would turn up as soon as they got it after that but lately they have started getting just a bit lax again, just with letters not packages, so will leave it for a bit but if gets any worse will be calling again. Road I am on is a very long one into the city so they always have plenty of drops along it so there is no excuse for them not to bring them the day they are received.

Enjoy your vaping

What a coincidence, most of mine today were bigger than standard letter size, 4 packet size, and 2 parcels... There was also a few letter size.

I will definitely be talking to my regular postie about it, if I get no joy there then I will call them. Thanks for sharing your situation with me, it seems very similar, and now I know I'm not the only one.

We do have a Royal Mail employee amongst our ranks on the forum.

He is known as Curtis and we regularly stick pins in our Curtis Dolls

[alvoram]

I'm sure he's one of the good postie though Jason

That being said wouldn't mind sticking pins in somebody.

Since you're here Jason, can I ask you a question? The riva cone is really tight around the atty, if I put it on, it's a lot harder to pull through, I get a better hit with it off, is there a looser one around? Or maybe I can mod them, tiny hole? Or should I really not mess with it / it's supposed to be tight for a reason?

[Chrissie]

Not seen Curtis about much lately

Alvo, if Jason doesn't see your question, you can always PM him

[alvoram]

Thanks Chrissie, don't suppose anybody else has any ideas about the cone?

[DiscoDes]

The ones from Healthcabin have a bigger hole.

If the hole on yours is tight I just get a pair of snipe nosed pliers and push these into the smaller end and rotate, the metal is soft and will stretch.

[VE Jason]

Hi Alvo

Sorry, I didn't see your question before.

We do have Ego cones here which are slightly wider at the mouth end (they aren't on the site, so you would just need to add a note at checkout asking us to switch the Riva cone for the Ego cone).

Some people prefer the cone on and some prefer it without, there's no rules as such.

[Deleted]

I personally prefer using a cone on my "work" PV's for a cpl of reasons 1st IMO it's a tighter draw which I prefer 2nd I use different coloured cones and drip tips to identify which juice I have in and 3rdly I don't get as much spillage to the pocket if I overfill oh and it's added protection from thread damage to the carto/battery connector
