They'll fit your Riva perfectly Whufc . . . not sure how long they last, as waiting for mine to be delivered as a number of us are.

But you can re-wick them if you've a mind to.

Thanks Perp

Re-wicking probably take me out of my comfort zone not very technically minded.

After nearly a week i'm already looking at mods and upgrades

This vaping lark certainly grabs you in and makes you want to empty your wallet

Looking for something where i can put a bit more juice into the Riva and see what's in there (stop regular top ups)

Any suggestions?

Still can't believe i'm not smoking and not missing it

Mind you i am going to have to get busy on that swap/ and probably (more likely) sale board as i've got juices coming out of everywhere (as the actress said to the Bishop (ohh err )

Apologies for somewhat hijacking your thread Sue :-[

Well whuf if you want to see the liquid you could try one of the versions of the clearomiser or a bud atomiser. For something that holds even more there is the stardust, mentioned above.

I need a new multimeter, only needs to be a really cheap one for this I presume, anyone know where to get the cheapest one from a proper shop, i.e not online. Maplin is the cheapest I can find, think it was £6.99.

EDIT: Yes I'm a cheapskate

That's the one I got alvo - works fine. I don't think you will do much better from a shop.

Thanks Dave and Gordy, I think I'm going to send the OH for the maplin one today. I need it today Gordy really, as I wanted to test the loose LR carto before I sent it on with my trade in the classifieds section, aswell as possibly repairing the stardust in the future.

A Provari makes quite a jolly multimeter Alvo.

alvoram they were marked on the shelf at my local maplins for £4.66 they charged me £6.99 When i pointed out the sign they gave me a refund of £2.00 maybe worth checking the shelf price first

alvo. I might be teaching my grandmother to suck eggs here but when I got mine I knew very little about mm's, but fortunately had seen a bit of guidance that when measuring resistance, the first thing to do is just touch the two prongs together. On mine this gives a reading of 0.5 ohms, so you have to deduct that from any Ohms reading you do on a carto etc.

And there's this splendid video here that Lisa found on Youtube . . .

That's the one OH has, it obviously does *whatever* job fine as he's forever using it!

Do you mean to test the resistance already present within the equipment? I did know that, but I may have forgotten, so I appreciate the tip.

Until I was laid off last year I was working as an electronic assembler for a company called Pektron, we assembled PCB's to IPC class 3 standards, (one of the reasons I don't want to use some of the mods out there after seeing pictures of their boards, but I won't go into that) Even with experience though, I'm still forgetting a lot and quickly. And I'm always open to learning, so never worry about "teaching someone to suck eggs," because people should appreciate the effort you've gone to to try and teach them something, I know I do.

Hiya peeps Ok suggestions please for an ecig that works & doesnt LEAK!!! I am totally fed up I just want an ecig that works & doesn;t leak all over me, my clothes & furniture i have to use mine with a hanky around it all the time & as i'm using James tigers blood i look like i have a permanent nose bleed i'm ready to give up! i dont care how much it costs i just want to be able to fill up & vape HELP!! whats best Good one for me!!? ???

Sue.....P.S still trawling through the boxes never moving again ever feel like i'm getting there......then i find another pile of boxes! Grrrr

hey sue(or anyone else) a little off topic , but what taste do you get when you use tiger blood , I've tried it in 3 things now a ce2 ,510 tank and a lr kanger .. and from 2 different bottles it seems the first few drags have a nice fruity strawberry smell/taste then every time its quickly turned to a sort of hot strange dry sort of taste i really can't put a finger on
i originally thought maybe it was just a burnt ce2 but now I'm thinking thats just how its suppose to taste lol which has disappointed me so much lol

[syycoe]

I get a fruity sort of vimto taste from tigers blood while the carto works but if i do not chain vape it gunks up too fast and i get a dry strange taste with a hint of fruit and very tight draw slightly burn't if i keep going
