lol I've started to train my other half to stalk the postie for me when I'm at work I can see this is going to work out well  tho I think I'm gonna have to find a pink cig-a-like kit for her at some point, as she's gonna want a reward, and she hates the look & size of my riva (and I want her to switch to vaping ) |

don't worry too much about getting wall chargers and car chargers, just get a usb charger, and a couple of adapters. I carry my usb charger in my case with my kit, and have a usb adapter in the car for all my other gadgets, and a usb to 3 pin plug in the house (again for other gadgets). as my case goes everywhere with me, I always have the ability to charge |

Hi stokiesam, welcome to the forum
I have both a skycig and a riva 1100 kit. The riva is much better, the batteries will last about 1.5 - 2 days depending on how much you vape. I can easily get 1.5 days and will go through 2.5ml of juice a day, so it's pretty good. I use my riva with a mini vivi nova, which looks really go on it (if you decide on this, buy a mini nova plinth, it looks better), and gives me an entire days worth of juice in 1 place. I also use ce2 and ce4 style clearomisers, allowing fast swapping of flavours on the go.
The riva kit is much more flexible than the skycig kit in how you can use it, although the parts from both are interchangeable (with the exception of the ce4 style clearomiser, which won't fit the skycig without an adaptor).
Tobacco flavours are where I started, but have since gone more to the fruity and sweet flavours, so can't really comment on tobacco juices

if you have a choice between a riva/ego 1100 or an ego twist, take the twist  The most important thing to remember... which ever you go for, get at least 2 of them! trust me, there is nothing worse than being out and having a battery die on you. This happened to me the 1st day I started vaping, I went out with just 1 of my 2 batteries (it was my skycig) and the battery died. Thankfully I was just out shopping, so could cope till I got home, but if I'd have been further away, I'd have been stuffed |

welcome dan, I am also a fellow skycig user, tho only when out and about, I have yet to throw away a carto, I have been refilling since my 2nd week of using e-cigs, it's much cheaper than buying cartos from skycig, and so many more flavours to choose from

I just found this with my banana juice, I washed out and dried off my mini nova before using the banana, and 1st 10 draws were pants, but then the flavour got stronger and nicer with each draw

the oasis menthol isn't too bad, it has a nice after-taste which holds the menthol flavour for ages, it's much nicer than any of the pre-filled menthol cartos I've tried

I was challenged by the cleaner, while smoking in the foyer at work on a rainy day, I just explained it was electronic, and took the carto off, and she was more intrigued than anything.
Still working on the directors to get vaping permitted in our office, but the building management have no problem with it, and I know the company in the office upstairs from mine has a vaping friendly policy now, as 1 of the senior manages uses skycigs (he introduced me to them).
Once people realise it's an e-cig, they seem fascinated rather than annoyed.
