Happy Monday everyone!
I've read a lot about direct dripping and have done it with good results myself. But I am doing it with empty cartos or with a carto when it's starting to get to needing a refil.
(NB. I have a Riva kit, now also a Sky Cig but know dripping is no good for Sky Cigs)
Now I have received a pack of five pick n mix e-juices so direct dripping will be a great way for me to try them all and switch often depending on my taste buds' needs.
I can't seem to find a simple explanation (please no videos as I can't watch them at work and never have more than about 7 seconds free in the evenings due to a whinging two year old at home), on dripping with cartos.
Should I remove all of the wadding or leave a little?
How much flavour cross over will I get this way (surely any wadding will collect the flavours, especially the strong ones like Golden Burginia)?
Am I better off getting a new toy to use with my Riva for direct dripping, if so what?
Thanking you!

Well, what a weekend of flavour sensations that was after my pick n mix assortment arrived on Friday, as well as my SkyCig. Been swapping and changing between flavours and need to order some more cartos so I can have more flavours on the go.
Arctic Lemon - Nice but not strong enough flavour, 6/10
Honey Bee - Awesome, just sweet enough and seems to hit the taste buds every time, 8/10
Hypnotique - Was good at first, nice and fruity but after a few vapes became imune and now every time tastes like weak tropical fruit squash to me! 7/10
Golden Burginia - Can't place my finger on it. Supposed to be a general sort of rollinc baccy flavour which it sort of is but also hints of chesnut and chocolate to my taste buds. VERY overpowering, some times I like it sometimes I hate it! 7/10
Eastern Spice - Not yet tried this out, will need to be in the right mood I think as it smells strong and certainly different!

Well my neighbour kindly saw the postie knocking and took my parcel in for me. Apparently he wasn't keen on letting him take it but decided to in the end which saved me a long journey to the post office.
Have to say I'm very impressed with the SkyCig. Some of the cartridges are better than others, hadn't realised they send you a multipack of flavours, was just expecting them to be tobacco flavour so that was a pleasant surprise.
The cherry cartridge seems very weak but the tobacco one much better. But when I use one of my cartos from my Riva it's a very good hit, not too far off of using it with the Riva in my opinion. Has made me much more confident about vaping in public now, will mainly keep the Riva for use at home.
Hmmm..... know it'll look odd but just realised I've not tried attaching my clearomizer to the skycig battery, will that work?

*Sigh* Just discovered the free on street parking I use for work will be becoming residents only parking next week so had to bit the bullet and get an official parking permit for the local car park my company uses. £25 a month suddenly gone so there goes most of the money I'm saving from vaping >  oh well, one less thing to feel guilty about I guess |

Not generally a fan of flavoured teas but starting to think they'd go well with a vape

I mentioned in my review of my first week of vaping that vaping straight after brushing your teeth is a very nice experience due to the minty freshness. Since then I've discovered a vape straight after a Jaffa Cake is very nice.
Anyone else enjoy a vape straight after a strong flavoured food or drink?

Just picked Skycig kit (discounted of course!)up from post office Damn, this suggests to me that it's too big to fit through my letterbox. Expecting delivery of mine today and don't live anywhere near the post office, will have to make a special trip tomorrow to collect by the sound of things. |

I've already quoted this a couple of times to people, good to have a nice statistic, ie that a year of vaping is equal to two cigarettes in health damage.
Or, it would take 10 years of vaping to damage your health in the same way as one pack of 20 fags would.

Sure there will be many more experiments to come before I settle on favourites and buy in bulk

I've placed the order so you're too late now! I was actually dreaming about different flavours last night so figured I needed to get my order in quick before I go mad!

Great idea. My problem is I actually didn't notice too much what I was spending on stinkies. I smoked roll ups and probably was at the very most £10 a week that I'd spend. In a week of taking up vaping I've spent over £60! I know long term it'll be much cheaper and also it was less about the money to me and more about my health.
