Advice needed for my requirements please

[Chrissie]

Sue, honestly we don't mind answeing the same questions. We just all remember how confusing it can be to begin with.

Off to see if I can find another good deal on the Riva 510 1100mah.

[DiscoDes]

Sue, how about a nice Gold coloured one from vapeescape?

[Chrissie]

Sue, I can't find as good a deal as vape escape as Jason will swap the 2 atomisers for 10 cartomisers when asked at check out. There are a few close deals but they don't have the 1100mAh battery or they come only with atomisers

As Des says, the Gold one from Vape Escape looks nice, or he pink?

[suebam]

I'm just looking at them now. I was thinking the black was more discreet and I like the thought of it not being "In your face" so to speak.

I'm not sure about the gold one. I may go for the white....Just when I thought I'd made my decision ???

[suebam]

Chrissie,
If I ask for the atomisers to be swapped for cartomisers, do I need to order mouthpieces and if I do, what are they called?

[bel]

Yes Sue, there called Drip tips

[DiscoDes]

The mouthpieces are called drip tips, they just feel better in the mouth and are cosmetic in the main, but sometimes the end of a cartomiser can get a bit warm and a drip tip will stop that. There's loads of them to try in different styles and colours, a bit of "bling" for your e-cig.

By the way the gold is not too shiny more towards a bronze colour, when the ecig is in your hand you;ll be covering it with your hand. You don't hold it between your fingers like a nasty but will tend to grip it like a microphone.

[alvoram]

He includes a drip tip if you switch

[suebam]

thanks Bel

whats the difference between a low resistance and standard resistance cartomiser? and which one do I need?

Use standard for now you can switch to low resistance later if you wish, but using a low resistance cartomiser will darin your battery faster. They make more heat to vaporise the e-liquid but use more power when they do this. Standard resitance is like 1 bar on a electric fire low resistance is like 2 bars.

[suebam]

If I buy the gold kit will the cartomisersbe a different colour?

[Chrissie]

Yes they will be a different colour Sue, most likely silver or black.

[suebam]

Ah, I think thats going to look a bit odd.
Maybe I'll ring vapescape tomorrow to see what they suggest.

Hi, welcome from me too suebam. Looks like you have already been given some great advice - an 1100mAh battery like the Riva should easily last you a day and cartomisers are a good place to start - if you go for the Vapescape offer you can ask for the atomisers + cartridges to be swapped for cartomisers. You can always contact Jason there if you need to find out more - you will find him very helpful. Cartomisers are fine and it is always worth having some.

The tank system you have looked at has the advantage of being simpler to use, but there have been some new products coming to the market quite recently that are just as simple and in most people's opinion better. Once you get started with whatever kit you choose you can try some of these. At the moment stocks everywhere are a bit limited as we have just had the Chinese new Year holiday - so there is a bit of a backlog on orders coming through to the UK of a lot of this newer stuff.

Jason has some black 1000mAh Ego batts (they have the same attachment). Slightly more expensive than Rivas. I'll be corrected if I'm wrong but I think the difference between Egos and Rivas is that Egos have regulated voltage whereas Riva voltage falls away slightly as the charge depletes.

A couple of those and 5 cartos would cost roughly the same as the Riva kit, so it's not quite the bargain.

But style costs.
As I know only too well.
