Hello pamo and welcome.

I've got this: www.vapeescape.co.uk/the-ve-riva-1100-deluxe-kit~151 and this: www.vapeescape.co.uk/the-sd-keyring-ecig~266

They are both great and although I've not tried yet, I think you can use the the cartomisers from the Riva Kit, on the Keyring as well, which for me, will be handy.

Hello lorna and sysic Your grandad is right, the folk here are a great bunch and will help you all they can.

I've only been a forum member and vaping for 12 days. I was a heavy smoker for a long time but without even trying, found I just cut down on the fags naturally, needing to smoke less each day, until by the end of the first week, I'd gone from 40+ per day to 0 and I haven't had one for five days now.

Good luck to the both of you.

Thanks all, I'm finding your replies really helpful.

oneday, I worry (just a figure of speech, I'm not really worried. lol) that my posts are too long and contain too much useless detail and everyone will just get bored and give up halfway through reading them. I tend to write like I speak though - get carried away and don't know when to stop.

Hello Emma, I'm a newbie too. You've definitely come to the right place, everyone is so friendly and helpful.

Here's another update to let those who are interested, know how I'm getting along with my vaping so far.

I carried on over the weekend, just having the odd roll up when I fancied one, which was usually when the battery was charging, and as I felt I 'needed' a real smoke first thing in the morning, after meals and just before going to bed. I couldn't wait for my new kit and juices to arrive, which they did, along with my son's, early on Monday afternoon. I kept picking the kit up and inspecting it but was too nervous to fill anything, especially the cartomisers, in case I messed up.

My son, who had done no research whatsoever, came home from work and not listening to a word I was saying (as per usual ) just attached the clearomiser to the battery, then squirted liquid in and bunged the mouth piece in. Of course you can all guess what happened next. He then did more or less the same thing with a cartomiser. All this made me even more paranoid about filling mine and I spent the rest of the day researching and watching videos on how to fill them. Finally, I plucked up the courage to have a go at filling the clearomiser. That went well, so I had a go at a doing a cartomiser next and that went ok too.

The first of the pick n mix juices I tried was Black Cat, which I found disappointing as all I got was a strange taste with just the tiniest hint of liquorice. The next was Mintoff, which was even more disappointing, just the same strange taste, without any mint flavour that I could detect. The next was Obalicious but again, that same strange taste and nothing else. I've also tried my son's Cocomel, Choco Haze and Banoffee but found only a slight flavour, overpowered by the strange taste. I don't know what the strange taste is but know I find it sickly and don't like it and my son isn't very keen either. I wondered if maybe it's just something that Grizwald's use in their liquids, or whether it's my taste buds not working properly but the Hangsen menthol that I've been using, I find very tasty.

On Tuesday, I went to the e-cig stall on the market and Andrew, the vendor, kindly let me try some Hangsen fruity flavours, which I found were much more agreeable to me. I didn't take any cash with me, so couldn't buy any then but I'll get some next week.

Anyway, even though I'm struggling with the juices I have, I'm keeping at it and the good news is, that since I started using my new kit, I only smoked three roll ups on the first day and have had NONE since.

ellen81, I've ordered: Black Cat, Caramel Cappuccino, Mintoff and Cocomel. My son has sent for different ones so we can try each others.



alanfinal, re your sig - I've picked mine up twice today to write with.
