My view is that rather than get a big hit of nicotine in a short 5 min space of time, you are rather spreading the intake over a longer period, so on a graph of nicotine in your system, rather than a sharp spike followed by a downward slope, then another sharp spike, we are actually getting a nicely wavy line which doesn't have massive peaks and troughs - keeping us steadily "nicotined" throughout the day.
Or maybe I'm talking rubbish again...

I bought one of these last week and the box it came in says "Vivi Nova" on the front - looks identical to all the reviews.
But since this is the first nova style thing I've bought, I can't compare with a "real" one...

Ah - filled it with water, dried it, gave it a quick blow through to clear any drops inside - which might have given me a false reading - and have a lap covered in water. I reckon its buggered. In the bin and move on then... Cheers for the help Gordy

Cheers Gordy - yeah I've taken her apart, cleaned her and been looking with a magnifying glass, but can't see anything wrong - good idea with the water - I'll try it and report back!
ps Not sure why I'm referring to it in the feminine tense... ideas on a postcard?

Hi all I woke up this morning to find that a vision rebuildable had leaked all over my desk. It has never leaked before, was full but not overfilled and was standing on its base - ie upright (so not leaking through the middle hole). My question is - is it knackered? The seals all seem intact, plastic isn't cracked - I can't even work out where its leaking from? I've had it about 3 weeks and been using it along with another one intermittently during that time. I know they're only a fiver, and if I'd dropped it or something I could accept it and move on - but the reason I went for the rebuildables was so that I could, y'know, rebuild them... So is it a design flaw? (been searching but can't find other threads with this problem for the rebuildable vision - just the previous ones), or is it just a one-off broken one? Any help appreciated before I buy another one

Ok all arrived today, 10ml strawberry ice cream (weekend offer from Vape Escape - thanks guys! I must be their best customer in the last ten days... ) 306 LR atty with swirly drip tip (think I might be getting in touch with my feminine side!)... First attempt - horrible - (reading some posts I realise that I was probably vaping primer - Doh!) Then checked the voltage/resistance charts. Made some adjustments, dripped and... Oh wow!!! just... wow! Loving the strawberry ice cream, loving the full flavour... just... wow! So I can't see myself dripping when I'm out and about - far too much hassle down the pub (or on a Megabus lol!), but at home - yeah baby! Again thanks to all for help and advice - love your work guys!!! ps is it wrong to hide some of the things I've bought from my wife... just to avoid questions like "how much have you actually spent in the last 10 days?"

Sorry for making people repeat stuff but I've been searching the forums for about an hour now and I can't find answers to my questions, even though I've read them before... so I'm gonna ask em!
I own a Riva 1100 kit. I want to try direct dripping. What is the best atomiser to buy? (I'm vaping lower strength liquids 12 - 18mg if that makes any difference...) I'm also ordering an 1100mah ego twist - different atomiser for this one?
Secondly I saw a comment somewhere that you shouldn't use LR resistance clearomisers with the riva 11000 battery, but I can't find the thread that talks about this. I've been using a 1.8ohm clearomiser for a few days. Should I stop? What can go wrong?
Thirdly, I assume I'll be ok to use the 1.8 clearomiser with my new ego-twist?(which should arrive on Tuesday - Yay!)
Lastly, thanks so much guys for all your help - I don't know what I would have done without you all to help me along, and I'm passing on the knowledge - both my mother-in-law and a good mate are buying starter kits this weekend after seeing me with my ecig!

Well I bought the cheap rechargeable from vapeescape, took that and also took a spare cartomiser (for variety!!). Everything had to go in a clear plastic bag, which I filled with all the stuff from my pockets. They searched us as we went in, but no-one even looked at the contents of my plastic bag!!??? I could have had knives, a gun, fireworks, anything - no one looked! Ludicrous! So I vaped away when my mates went for a fag - and at least 2 of them seemed very interested, so good things will come from it all hopefully. And team GB won, so good all round (apart from it taking more than 2 hours to get a train home...)

Yeah thats kind of what I was thinking - problem is I have only been vaping for a week and only have my riva kit - I totally ignored the disposables and went straight in...
Are the disposables they sell at tesco ok?

Yeah I saw that when I was researching last night, trying to find an answer to my question. I'm going with some smokers and some non-smokers so I'll just have to stay strong until I get back to Bristol - its only 8 hours or so...

Just had the response from them:
Good Morning.
I’m afraid electronic cigarettes are not permitted into the stadium.
Kind Regards

But I assume there's no problem with taking nasties in... its a crazy world we live in...

You have it right Peekay.
Gordy, I have emailed them - good idea btw - so that if their response is good I can print out the email and take it with me!

Hi guys Getting used to my new ecig and the wife is partaking occasionally too - although she wants to totally give up I think... However I'm still a bit self conscious using the thing out and about... and on Weds I'm off to the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff to watch the Olympic Football. And I want to take my ecig but if the security guys decide they don't like it, I either lose it or miss the match... Has anyone else been using their ecig at an olympic venue? any problems? Or am I just worrying too much? Am I paranoid?

Yeah I watched the crab juice video - very funny, don't fancy it!!!
Tried apples and pears today - love it cos its not too sweet!! Does this mean I should try other fruit flavours?
I was also thinking about menthol flavours - I hated menthol fags and the menthol filters in my rollies... but maybe a fruit menthol style of thing???
Decisions, decisions...
