Well Ive just tried it myself and I think im gonna get one as well as although Ive got strong wheel power I do sometimes really get an urge for a fag and this will just curb it, the 2.4 my dad is using is a bit strong on the throat for me so I think I will have to use the 1.8 or even the 0.8.

It works the other way - the lower the number (the resistance) the higher the throat hit

Oneday, I think they're referring to the Nicotine strength

Got to say the ry4 in caramel tastes bloddy lovely. My brother is sold to. Its nice to see a smile on my dads face and he finally thinks hes found something that will work as compared to that gammuci he says it tokes everytime. thanks a million guys. If those free flavours are still on offer I would love to take you up on them

Yep they are fom rme, pm me your address before 10 tomorrow and I will get them in the post to you.

Hes got on with it so well Ive just ordered one. Ive managed to resist the urge of having one for the last 3 weeks but sometimes especially at the weekend when I am around people having a beer and they are all going for a smoke I really get the urge, so hopefully this will come in handy for those times. My only concern is that it is going to effect my running as since giving up I find doing the weekly 5km race alot easier. If I start smoking this will it make me breathing harder again?

No, it's the smoke that damages your lungs, vaping will have no effect whatsoever. Glad he's doing so well.

Brilliant news Chris

As Oneday says, it won't effect you running. One of our lovely members has run several races & raised money for charity, since converting to vaping.

Hello again

Well its been a week for me now on the riva 1100, I havent actually had a fag for 4 weeks but I was getting bad urges durig that whole time and it was only my wheel power that was stopping me so I too decided to get one and see if it helped. This last week any urges have been killed quickly with just a few puffs so ive got to admitt it actually works really well. I would say that a refill last me 2.5 days and out of the ry4 in caramel and the three 5's I much prefer the ry4 as its not as harsh. A few things though, when I was filling up the glass tank that comes with it the other day I accidently squeezed the liquid in a bit to fast and it only went and went down the centre metal tube which seems to make the glass tanker fill with the vape and also the liquid seems to taste harsher but as I say this could just be how the 3 5's tastes compared to the ry4. I guess what im trying to ask is by getting the liquid down the centre metal tube have I damaged it or am I doing more harm to myself? Im guessing I need to wash it out ....

[chrisjw]

I think all you need to do is blow through the hole Chris

[Chrissie]

Chrisjw is right Chris :0 if you get juice down the center tube, just blow from the mouth piece end while holding a piece of tissue over the thread end of your vision ego clearomiser

The harsh taste may be due to you vaping the vision too dry. So if it doesn't wear off, before you refill it again, try giving it a wash.

[chrisjw]

Phew.......thanks chrissie..that's the first time I've attempted to answer a query................

[Chrissie]

And you answered it so well Chris Lol I wonder what we can call several Chris' posting together - are we a clutch of Chris'
