No don't worry Chrissie throw it in the bin if you like  Glad your controlling my posts and placing them where you feel they should be. I don't know, I keep wondering if it should go here or there and when I'm not sure I start a thread in the lounge  |

A small update:
Well hubby came home after work with bags in his hand (he stopped at the shop) and I noticed he was holding his box of Golden Virginia.
First thought which came to mind was "he couldn't do it, I bet he didn't even bother vaping"
He walked into the kitchen and said NOTHING!
hmmmm I thought to myself, the Riva could not have been very exciting for him because he said nothing as he walked in. So, I asked him myself " so how did you get on with the Riva?" his first words were "ahhhhhhhh you won't believe it" I thought omg he doesn't like it, that's what his going to tell me, so I stood there waiting to see WHAT he was about to say, he said " The battery really lasts on that Riva, I've been vaping on it all day and it didn't need charging"
I thought PHEW! I then asked him how he got on with vaping he said "all day I've been vaping on it, I only had 5 roll up's and look at the liquid still half full in the tank"
He sat on the sofa with his "Riva" and continued vaping while watching the TV.
After dinner he went outside to have a roll up and when he came back indoors first thing he said was " that roll up doesn't taste nice after vaping" I replied "yes it doesn't it happened to me too" So I asked him if he really likes vaping?, " It's really good" he said "but it's giving me a sore throat"
I explained to him that he needs to drink plenty of water and that after a few days he will get use to vaping. I said to him " well that's good to hear, because it's better than smoking" he then quietly replied "yes, but even though vaping is nice I still get worried in vaping" I asked him "why? and he replied "well I don't know whats in it, with all the smell and whatever maybe there's perfume in it I don't know" I said to him "well forget about vaping, if you feel worried then don't vape continue smoking if you feel that is safer, but don't forget it ain't safer cos it's got on the packet's "SMOKING KILLS" so why worry yourself? ...he quickly replied and said "NO I'VE STARTED NOW"
Anyway, I've explained here exactly how it happened so as you can see how his doing. His in bed right now with his Riva topped up with e juice and a freshly charged battery.
He likes it so far, but there is still this "but" feeling I'm getting...he could end up loving it, or visa verser. As I've said before he is and has been a passive smoker. I'm use to him always smoking and I've never heard him say he wants to give up. So, I don't want to put my hopes up, now tell me what you think, will he continue ? what's your gutt feeling?

My very simple view on this is we either, stop smoking, smoke or use harm reduction! There is nothing in that link that makes me think that vaping is not harm reduction. It's a very badly researched article in my opinion  Exactly how I look at it Smoke, vape or give up completely...It's down to the individual, noone is forcing anyone to do any of them, but I prefer the "Harm reduction". |

Yes, you do Dream, you really do. So much better than the e-lites I was using before. They won't go to waste though, Mr Fan is using them . Now all I have to do is remember to put it down, preferably before I give myself a nicotine overdose!  Don't be surprised if Mr fan ends up wanting a Riva after seeing you vaping on your Riva with delight  If he doe please let us know |

im sorry you lost your dad at such an early age but thank you Dream for sharing, this is a fantastic thread ....i dunno about the rest of you guys but reading stories like this gives me a warm fuzzy feeling I love reading story's too. I think it's a good inspiration for others to read who are thinking of vaping, to see how and why smoker's turn to vaping. There is a story behind everyone. We need an INSPIRATION column for real life story's on the forum I think just an idea |

Onedayillquit, Well he took it to work and took the charger with him. hmmmm wondering why he didn't take the case with both the Rivas in there already charged? maybe he left the other Riva for me to vape on. I won't know how he is getting on with it till tonight, but I must say, he did say last night while vaping on the Riva that "this is seriously better than smoking (I hope he means it) and he did say in his own words " hey this is so nice it's addictive" hmmmm so how is he getting on I wonder ? I will update tonight My son said to me last night " Mum if this gets dad cutting down or giving up smoking THEN this will definitely PROVE that vaping REALLY does work"!!!! So, we are all waiting in anticipation to see if this guy who can not do anything without a rollie in his hand gets on with the Riva and vaping and cuts down (or gives up) smoking I guess it's as the saying goes " we have to see it to believe it" |

Hello Matty, I bought a Riva from www.vapeescape.co.uk/search.asp?t....ick+%27n%27+Mix it comes with all you need to start vaping, the only thing you need extra is the e juice to put in the cartomisers, absolutey brilliant and thats coming from a newbie. You will love it |

Yep well done dream. It is when you start to fight over who gets what flavour juice, that is when you know he is well and truly hooked lol I am spreading the word up my neck of the woods too. Not only have I got my neighbour vaping, but she has also got her relatives doing it too. Got to work on my other neighbour now lol Thats fantastic well I have been constantly advertising it on my facebook, I don't know if people on there understand exactly what a e cig is, but I know if I saw them in the flesh and they tried mine they will buy one. |

Jason, I agree with the innokin, you advised me to buy them for my skycig and I can honestly say they are fantastic! but, is it ok to use on my 150T as the ohm states it's 2-2.0...but, I must say they do give you a good inhale great throat hit and lovely taste.
Another question, will you or can you get hold of white or pink ones,cos I bought the Riva from you for hubby and I love it and once I can afford one I want to purchase either the white one or pink, but I remembered it's difficult to purchase them colours to match.
