I am a bit worried by the thought of stocking up on nic base at 75% is that a safe level to have around the house? what I have is 54% I think most houses and garages contain large bottles of very toxic substances, bleach antifreeze etc which have to be kept well away from kids and pets. I don't think nic juice would present any more of a danger than those if stored properly. Pam |

 no holidays for us I'm afraid this year , still saving up for new central heating system .. sheesh I hope it's a mild winter  I hear where you're coming from Storm. I've still got heating, for the moment, but it won't heat the water and the immersion has gone pooof! So, washing and bathing with only a kettle is a real pain in the a**! (literally!) The system is 17 years old so I suppose I should'nt be surprised, but just kicking myself why I didn't do somthing about it in the Summer (if that is what it was!). To keep myself sane I keep reminding myself when I was a kid, in the 50's, and how we managed then, with no central heating, now where did I keep that tin bath? We take so much for granted don't we? It might just be your diverter valve stuck, I bought one a couple of years ago and put it in when our one went, problem solved instantly. Immersion heating element is also pretty easy to replace too  Pam O |

I have had the headaches from a combination of overdoing vaping and not drinking enough fluid. I now always keep a pint glass of blackcurrant squash in front of me. If I start feeling a headache coming on I just put the riva down for a bit and do something else for a while.

No heating on here yet and there won't be till the outside temps get below zero  We made it through temps of minus 10 and below last winter when the boiler went bang and we couldn't afford to get it replaced at the time. The water is heating up on fumes from the oil tank and I have just had a quote for 1000 liters of oil at £630  This week I have had to find £750 to pay for the dogs and parrot being looked after during our holiday so the oil will have to wait for quite a while yet.

 kickit, I know exactly how you feel regarding how complicated it all seems at first, but there is so much information on the web and on this forum. AAEC members who help and support and answer all manner of questions patiently have made the transition from 26 years of smoking to full time vaping just so easy for me  I still have half a pouch of tobacco on the mantle piece, I have no intention of smoking it I just love the fact I can stick two fingers up at it first thing in the morning when I sit down for my first coffee and a menthol vape.

I'd add another 30ml bottle of juice. You will probably find you vape more if you're relaxing and not working. Better to bring some home again than run out or have to eke it out as Pam did LOL yes it was a bit nerve racking towards the end, thought I was going to have to wring out the wading in the two filled up then died cartos Pam |

It is pretty hard to hide a chain of chemists shops It was the shoebox incident that got me really rumbled. Mr Karma had this strange idea that i had a tower of empty shoeboxes in our spare room, strategically placed sort of behind the door semi hidden as you walked in, so as not to attract too much attention. One night he walked in and accidently kicked the bottom box and the whole tower fell down spewing boots all over the floor Rumbled is right!!!  |

So pam, back to the twist if you buy a black 650mAh one he will not notice that it is a different battery as it will look to the untrained eye the same as your rivas  Good thinking Karma |

If you don't draw attention to it, he'll probably not notice. I hide things right under Mr Karmas nose and honestly, so long as he does't see the packages coming through the door he just doesn't notice. On the odd occasion that he does question something I just give him one of my 'looks' and say 'what? that, I've had it for ages Now when i was obsessed with buying boots, that was much more difficult to hide He is a virgo....he will notice |

Pam basically increasing the voltage makes the coil in your clearo or whatever burn hotter. This gives a warmer vape and more throat hit (and more vapour), but runs the battery down slightly faster. Turning the voltage down gives a cooler vape and less throat hit. Some juices taste better if 'cooked' hot, some will taste better a little cooler. So you can tailor the vaping experience to your own taste. The other thing is that when you take a Riva off charge it will be putting out around 4 volts. This will gradually decrease as the charge is used. A Twist puts out a constant voltage across the whole of the charge Thanks one day....I wonder if the sweeter juices would be a little less nauseating if they were burnt cooler?? Might not mentholise them until I get a twist and see if there is any improvement if not I will be vaping toffee menthol popcorn along with my menthol cheesecake |

Dave me and my bank manager are quite happy to NOT have Ninja status I have already hidden the passthrough in the car from the other half though he will eventually notice that I have suddenly acquired a silver coloured one when the rivas were black, and he was moaning that when he opened one of the kitchen cupboards the other night it smelt like a dentists all my bottles of juice were in there in a neat line with their caps off having a breather.......I just squirted him with febreze to shut him up Pam |
