I've just realised that neither Raggy or Chrissie have actually PM'd me? So I don't know if they want me to order for them or not. Please let me know.

Not a problem if you don't, or have changed your minds, just don't want to miss you out.

I posted also, with my little story.

Jo, are you Jo or Joanne? Chrissie said you are registered as jo, so that's how you need to log in. That might be what you are doing wrong.

I'm registered as knawes all in lower case and that's how I log in.

Hanow, thanks for the input and good to know it's not just me!

I've been OK this morning, whether leaving it overnight did some good, or the attie just had time to dry out/soak more in, I have no idea but all was well. I am using the LR that Alex (my OH) had never used, which I tried last night. I used it all morning and didn't need to refill after 9.30am

I will have another go with the new normal atties later.

Yes, the taste wasn't the same as you get with the juice, a weird kind of vegetable oil taste and feel.

My original juice orders, when I started were one from James and one from another place. I originally ordered LnB from James, and as he does, he popped two samples in. One of which was Benson Fences, which I found I adored. So as soon as I got back from my hols, I ordered 60ml from him and have stuck to that ever since. Alex likes the LnB, so we're both suited.

I'll keep the other stuff I ordered and the other samples for emergencies!

Chrissie, the carts that were included in the Riva kit came with white filler already in, and had little caps on the top, so you could fill and take as spares?

The carts attached to the new atties were completely empty, which is fine. Because they were attached, they are also a good fit, unlike some of the Riva ones, which are loose. (I know to melt a bit of the plastic to make them tight.)

It's all a learning curve. And as I keep saying, I didn't immediately reach for normal cigs as I would have done if trying to give up smoking/using patches etc.

OK, I've calmed down a bit! Since I last posted, I "borrowed" my partners LR which he had never used, dripped in six drops, put a single slice of Jakis blue in and dripped another couple of drops and I now have something that is passable. It p's me off that I bought 5 new atties and the first 2 I tried have been hopeless. I didn't open another one from it's packet yet.

I did take one of them off and blow it, lots of juice came out, so I guess it was flooded. Trouble is, I think I'm not getting anything, and so I drip more in....I guess I'll get used to it all with practice

I can't go to higher juice, I'm using 36mg as it is!

The two new atties I did try were getting really hot, more hot than I remember from the last few days, with ones that came with the Riva.

I'll have a go at dripping when I open a new attie.

Thanks for your suggestions both of you. It's all these little things that newbies don't know, the hints and tips that more experienced vapers can tell me, that I really appreciate.

I'll faff around a bit more in the morning, start all over again with a new attie, fresh battery, new cart etc.

Just was a bit miffed as it was all going so well. OH is still on his first attie and cart - BUT he is still smoking a LOT of fags!

Chrissie, I have some tweezers I got in my last order from James that I pull up and push down with! ;-)

Thanks for the advice, all. I've also done a bit more reading.

I went back to a white filler, and started from scratch. I think I did need more of the blue as it's not as dense and seems to not "hold" the juice as Lilac says.

I think it's a combination of things as well. I wasn't ever sure how far up the filler should be, but obviously it's got to be in contact with the attie mesh.

I remember yesterday having a really good day, and when I looked at the filler it had a little dark dent in the top, which I've just read means you've had a good session as there was just enough contact and enough juice to make it correct.

Oh, well, it's still early days in my adventure....the good news is, again, I haven't reached for the tobacco sticks! Only 3 of those today so far, so something is working, and I'm not climbing the walls as I would be (and have been) with patches.
