Need advice

[deanmhall]

Hi totally new to this have been recommended by a colleague KHROMM to sign up here. Been smoking since 11 and need some advice on the best products and where to get them in order to quit.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give

How long have you been a smoker and how many a day?

[deanmhall]

Been smoking for 27 years and between 20 and 30 a day depending on how the day goes

Heya! Are the looks of the ecig important? For a 20 - 30 a day smoker you'll pretty much have to sacrafice looks or you'll be tied to a charger of somekind to keep up.

I would recommend the riva www.vapeescape.co.uk/the-riva-1100-deluxe-kit~151 'allabout' for 10% off with these cartomisers: www.vapeescape.co.uk/boge-510-low-resistance-%285%29~146 'allabout' for 10% off again.

It has a nice run time, isn't huge, but it's not tiny. The riva is one of the most recommended ecigs out there and I think it would suit you for your smoking habits.

For juice, you might want to check out freedomvape's pick and mix: freedomvape.co.uk/shop/article_1046-001/5-x-10ml-Pick-n-Mix.html?shop_param=cid%3D10%26aid%3D1046-001%26 you'll get to try out a few juices that way.

Here's how to fill a cartomiser too:

There are many, many options out there for ecigs, but I think the riva is a time tested workhorse as well as cartomisers, and once you've gotten the hang of it you can use many different heating elements with the riva or use it as a backup to something more expensive.

Hope that helps!

ps I need to go to work but I'm only gone until about half 4 so I'll get back to you then if you have questions and no one's answered yet but I'm sure you'll get a ton of help before I'm back

Welcome to the forum dean. I'm just about to sign off to go back to work so forgive the short post but check the absolute beginners / new to vaping sticky threads on here to help get started. IMO I would recommend you look at a Riva/Ego e-cig with a higher batter rating (minimum 650maH) to get a decent battery life - the riva 1100 is great and a battery charge should keep you going all day.

Once you have found something you like don't go rushing to order it - check back here for any discount codes / cheaper suppliers

Sorry gotta go or will be late.

[deanmhall]

Thanks very much for your help I will have a look

You won't go far wrong with a Riva kit to start with - Freedom Vape and Vapescape both do good deals on this. Like lefty says, also worth getting some cartomisers I would suggest the Boge LR (low resistance) ones (they give a bigger hit than the standard resistance ones). If you go for some cartomisers you will also need a 510 drip tip to stick in the end of one.

Hi Dean and welcome

Why not make it easy on yourself and just steal Khromm's stuff ? lol

The Riva is a pritty good place to start, a lot of colour choice and easily interchangeable if you want to move onto something else. Also good enough to just stick with for less faff free system.

Hi Dean and Welcome

As my signature shows i'm fairly new to this as well

The info Leftfield has given is top notch. That is the set up i have and so far very pleased with it.

Feel free to ask any questions (no matter how trivial they may seem) there's plenty of knowledgeable and friendly people on here to help.

Hi Dean and welcome to AAE-C ... as Leftfield suggested you cant go far wrong with a riva / ego kit

[foxy9212]

Hi Dean and welcome.

Ditto to the Riva although standard cartomizers will give you longer battery life than the low resistant variety - tis a case of 'suck-it-n-see.'
