Thanks for the welcomes to everyone! And Hi back at ya!
Delivery came to today. Very impressed since I brought the kit at about 9-10pm Friday night!
Have one of the batteries on charge now, have filled up 3 cartos. Seems there is charge in the batteries though so going to have a go on my "fag" break! Came with a free Drip tip as well so bargain!!
Will get back to you all later on! Must actually do some work at somepoint today!! lol
O, I didnt buy the wall plug as I have mutiple USB chargers, iPhone, iPad, PS3 controller charge station with 2 USB ports etc. Assume these are all fine? Im a bit unsure of iPad one as its 10w, but it charges the phones fine with no effect to battery? lol
Thanks the for guidance to the guys before. Very happy with my kit and I havent even had a go yet!!
Cheers

Glad to hear it's arrived Yes, you are right, the e-cigs come with a factory charge, so you can use one straight away while the other is being fully charged. The batteries don't have any memory so no problem using part charges ones etc. Any mains powered USB hub should be fine for charging your batteries - though I'm also not sure about your 10w iPad one.

Hi Rich, and a belated You're right about the batteries, they do come with a factory charge, so you can use one, whilst charging the other one up Jason ( Vape Escape ) provides an excellent service, as do our other vendors, and if you order from him before 3pm, you will get your goodies the next day ( Royal Mail willing lol ) I can't comment on whether it is ok to charge your batteries up via iPhone, PS3 etc, as I don't use them, but I know it's fine to use your PC. I was using my laptop to charge batteries for a while, but then found out that it probably wasn't advisable to do that, so I mainly use a wall plug now I charge my Riva/eGo batteries on an evening and one will last me all day, and I have got a good 36hrs use out of them with no charge. obviously it depends how much you vape, but most people seem to get about that amount of battery life It's great that you're happy with your kit, and I'm sure you will love vaping Let us know how the "fag-break" goes!

Hi Rich, Virtually any charger with a USB out plug should be fine, some may take a bit longers than others but I use all-sorts on my E-cig batteries and have not had a problem. Welcome to the wonderful world of vaping.

Just had my fag break and was very impressed! Didnt expect so much vapours to come out as ive been having a go on my mates skycig and borrowed my girlfriends e-lites and this was so much closer to smoking !! I got cherry pipe in a carto at the mo which was good as it had a tabbaco type hit with a hint of cherry! Didnt even make a mess when filling for the first time either!!
Well ive checked the iphone wall plug, its 5v dc output which is the same as the riva charger input so that will be fine. However I only had my ipad charger on it so I used that! So ill be the test subject!! It fully charged in about 2 hours. Not sure if thats quick or not from factory!
Yeah im very impressed with vape escape! When I ordered I wasnt expecting it to be posted on a Sat so hats of to Jason!

The batteries will have been partially charged at the factory so that's why it only took a couple of hours, most will charge from empty in 3 - 4 hours.

So pleased to hear you are impressed Rich Another big difference you will notice between your Riva & the ciggie lookalikes like Skycig & e-lites, is the battery life

thanks for that link seems tto have a lot of choices. i liked the look of zichhi because they do small bottles of all their juice, but I didnt look at the delivery page so might give them a miss!
Although griswalds artic lemon is awesome so I may not need to find other suppliers as I still got 8 more flavours to try yet!
