I havent got another battery mate that would fit at all. Not really sure what to do with it as new control head is ridiculous money. If you have any vaping friends locally that can lend you a battery for 5 mins to make sure the eVic works and it does then get a charger Nitecore i2 & i4 are very good value. Thats another problem theres only my dad that i know who vapes and hes got a riva kit and thinks thats technical  . ill try and get a battery tonight. If it doesnt turn out to be the battery/charger are the control heads repairable or is it not the worth the money? |

MY eVic charged from the Laptop USB fine, it looks like there is a problem with the USB socket, it's wiring or the charging circuit on the eVic. I assume that you have a battery in it that has not been over discharged as mods would not be able to recover these you would need a good charger to do this. Can you try another battery, long shot but you never know. I havent got another battery mate that would fit at all. Not really sure what to do with it as new control head is ridiculous money. |

Some laptop usb sockets don't put out enough power to charge another device, especially if the laptop isn't plugged in. Do you not have a separate battery charger? Hi oneday, yes ive tried it on a mains plug using the correct joyetech plug and cable and still nothing |

Hi guys. Haven't been on here in a while but I'm wanting to kick the ciggies altogether. Anyway could some kind hearted soul please give me any advice on my Evic.
I Haven't used it in awhile but I've gone to charge it and I'm getting absolutely nothing out of it. It's been on charge via laptop and plug. Charger cable checked and working fine. The screen is staying blank I've tried the hold button plug in charger trick and I've got nothing. Please could someone help me as it's the only decent device I've got and it looks like going in the bin.

hi everyone, just a quick question, what does everyone use to keep there juices and bits and bobs in at home? Ive got the case from my riva kit whilst out and about, but i was wondering what people used at home as i kept mine in a clear box(lid missing) and ended up spending 20mins picking everything up and trying to find the toppers for the cartomisers. i was after something like a giant tablet box with compartments and things but i cannot find one (more than likely looking inthe wrong place)  |

As daft as it seems i find it easier being around people who smoke, because the missus smokes i do have the temptation to grab her fags and nip out for one, but then she lights one and the after-smell turns my stomach completely.
Everyones different and the new kit will help for sure. I was ready to throw the skycig inthe bin and think sod it, but since i got my riva kit 2 months ago i havent touched a fag since

well tomorrows the big day i shall have my kit wen i get in from work, as no1 was in when the postie tried today, so i decided to wash my carto's out that i bought a while ago, i believe they are the borge sr and also the borge lr, but one of the lr's seems to have a slight brown mark around the hole inthe middle and was wondering if it had burnt out? as i can remember one tasted rather nasty but cannot remember if i threw it out. sorry for the noob question but want everything right for when i start |

hi thanks for the replies everyone. Only gone and ordered the kit I know brian i was really impressed with the delivery times and helpful reply to a long winded email/ questionnaire i had sent them about all the different kits. Just ordered the riva kit and some hs Delight juice for the time being, and will start stocking up on the fancy things once i know what they do  |

hi everyone, new to the forum. looks great to get some tips off you vaping veterans . Bought a skycig kit a while back  i know. managed to stay off the normals for about 3 weeks and totally gave in and went from smoking menthol to normal fags after. I got fed up with the battery life of the skycig, and even had to buy a new one because one packed up after 2 weeks. Ive got loads of juice and cartomisers from vapeescape and was wondering whether to take the plunge for the riva kit? what i like about the sky cig is that you could charge the batteries on the go, but if the riva battery will last me a day ill be fine with sticking on charge every night. So if anyone could give me an idea on the battery life, tips and tricks about the riva kit and if anyone has got any views on the HS tobacco range from vape escape ill be really greatful. Sorry if these questions have been asked a 100 times before |
