Yet Another Newbie - MY RIVA'S ARRIVED!!

[dave]

Hi popsie - welcome to the forum and the Riva owner's club!

[CupCake]

LOL, only been on here a few hours and caused a confuffle (don't worry, I love a laugh). Yup, twas Chrissie who advised the Riva deluxe. It's getting loads of good comments so it must be good, can't wait to get it. By the way guys, what are stardusts, ??? I've got the cartomizers coming with my kit.

[OneDay]

These are stardusts Poppsie... a different type of cartomiser, better many would say

Thanks everyone for your kind welcome and thanks oneday for the info on stardusts. Can I be a pain? Just looked at them and they seem great, so much better than cartos but I don't understand the difference between standard and low resistance. Which would be the best?

[OneDay]

Low resistance give a hotter vape and more throat hit, but use battery power quicker. SR are cooler and don't drain the battery so fast.

I'm sure others can add to this quick distinction

Hi Poppsie, #welcome2# from me too

[CupCake]

Thanks oneday. Think SR might be best. There is so much to find out and I wish I'd found this forum before buying my first (rubbish) kit

[Chrissie]

Poppsie, Jason may have sent you a selection of cartomisers with your Riva kit ie, some LR & some SR. If so, try those first & see which resistance you prefer

[DiscoDes]

As an experienced Vaper I am a big fan of the Stardust, they are also called visions. I recommend them to new vapers because they are a doddle to fill, no need to leave to soak overnight before vaping and you can see how full/empty they are. Last and not least they give a good vape and last a good while too. I know it's more expense but I urge you to try one or two. Once you have bought your kit costs will drop, many here spend £10 or less a week on vaping with great results.

I'm glad I joined Chrissie. I nearly put Toby on as an avatar but changed my mind. I've got a wicked sense of humour sometimes and found a piccie of a smoking teletubby but thought it might be a bit OTT LOL. Hi Queenie Bee, haven't spoken to you for a while on the other forum. Really looking forward to my Riva. Just had a smile though, someone has said that stardusts dont have to be left overnight to soak like the cartos do - cripes, I put more juice in mine and vape straightaway!!!!!! Sometimes I get bubbling and gurgling so I must have flooded the cartos. Heck, I need educating!!!!

Am I the only one who keeps reading your username as 'poopsie' and has to double take? It's been a long day for me
