Hello folks,

Just a quick update, I have been out drinking since 6pm and feel a bit tipsy bit............. Do not feel in any way shape or form like having a cig!! Hoorah.

I am on gingerbread on a cart(hated it on a clear) and artic honey on a clear and do not feel like having a cig at all.

I live in the middle of London and have had about 10 enquires about what I am "smoking". Half of which have had a taste and have taken the web address of this forum. Hoorah.

I feel good. X

Cheers Alan,

I dare say my outlay in the next 2 weeks will be comparable to my normal Cig outlay as I play and try. I have been looking all around the forum and there is so much equipment(toys) to get involved with. I do like the look of the Vivi Nova, is that the 2.5? How do you find it performs?

Hi folks,

So, to update anybody who does not know my back story:

Started smoking E-lites nearly 2 weeks ago, quite enjoyed them initially and then the lack of throat hit, battery life and expense took hold. I did some research and found my way here and some very helpful people guided me towards the Riva 1100.

So, the kit turned up on Friday (worked from home, ). I got straight in to vaping and started using the cartomisers with apple tabac. I enjoyed it as the Apple Tabac gave a decent throat hit, which was dry(I like) and the vapor it produced was spot on. Anyway the good lady decided that she would like to try the Riva(we are both trying to give up, imagine the cash we will be saving ) so I gave her my Riva and cartomiser with Apple and she also really enjoyed it. I have not had it back since.

I switched to using my other battery with the clearomiser and started to try the other liquids. So far, I have tried gingerbread, citrus spring, Honey tabac and eastern spice. To be honest the only one that i enjoyed was the eastern spice (apart from Apple) as it has a drier taste and a sense of tobacco.

Anyway, enough blathering on, my real question is this. I seem to prefer using the cartomiser as opposed to the clearomiser, the vape seems more authentic. The vape with the clearomiser seems....moist, almost clean!! I am not sure if that is explanation enough but the throat hit does not seem to be as powerful and the liquids seem to taste more bland.

I know that it is all down to personal preference and some might not feel the same way.

Moving forward, I have purchased the good lady a Riva which will hopefully arrive on Tuesday and I can get back to my cartomisers. I have also purchased another 5 pick n mix flavours for testing that include, Karoffee Kick, Arctic Honey, Strawberry Ice Cream, Banoffee Cream. I tried to find reviews of the grizwald flavours and based on those reviews that i did find those were the choices I made.

Anyway, that's me update ta ta

Morning all,

How do you dab the wicks with kitchen roll? Do you have to take the centre peice out (very untechnical term i know).

Another question, which flavours, not the normal cig tasting ones, have the kick in the throat?

Heres a breakdown of what i initially got:

Apple Tabac - enjoyed this and it has a decent taste but importantly has that smoky kick in the throat
Gingerbread - nice taste but bland in the mouth and throat
Honey Tbac - yuk
Citrus spring - like smoking washing up liquid and bland in the mouth and throat
Eastern Spice - yet to try this

There you go, not a very good taste review but I am new to this

Cheers

Hi guys,

I trust your weekends are going well.

Quick question if you don't mind.

If i am trying a taste test on the e liquids I purchased and I am using the clearomizer (the good lady has stolen the other battery and cartomisers) can i just empty the clearomizer and add a new liquid or do I have to clean it before refilling.

Thanks in advance

Thanks Malibu and Chrissie. Lots to learn

Thanks Chrissie you are a star, I was searching for vids and couldn't find any that helped me. I am such a newbie, I was becoming nervous just touching everything, Haha. Thanks again
