I've not been doing too great I have been having on average about 5 cigs a day which is still a lot less than my usual 20 but I want to get it even further down. I just don't seem to be getting what I need from the vaping and it feels like I am getting less and less from it each day.
I have therefore ordered some different juices with a higher nic content and a Nova tank to try. Fingers crossed they will arrive for the weekend and I can get back on track to having just the 1 cig on a morning or none at all. If the nova isn't enough and the higher nic content then I guess I will have to change the riva battery for a twist or similar.

I've just noticed inside the clearo is half filling with vapour when I drag. I haven't noticed this before apart from once when it filled right up because I forgot to screw the tip on I just pushed it in.
I have checked the tip and it won't go any tighter.

I'm not too concerned about the battery run down, I have 2 and one usually lasts me all day right now but I work from home so always have the other on charge and ready to go anyway.
I'll take a look at the mini novas or try a lower resistance clearo. If the Riva battery fries, well I have an excuse to get a VV right? lol

Is the mini nova low resistance. I see them mentioned quite a lot on here. As you can tell I still have no idea what half the bits and bobs are  |

Well almost a week in and the only cig I can't kick is that 1st one on a morning. I can live with never dropping that one if it comes to that but with time I am sure that will vanish.
The problem I am having now is towards the middle of the day the clearo doesn't seem to be powerful enough. So I am looking at trying a different system. I don't like the cartos, I like been able to see what juice I have left. Any recommendations?

I've not even had the Riva a week so I can't really start buying new batteries and other bits and bobs just yet |

You couldn't use the LR carto on a Riva battery could you?

A bad start to the day for me. I didn't take my E Cig with me this morning and had to unexpectedly go to my Aunts house after the school run. Cue 10 cigs been bought because I knew I would need them (she is a smoker). I've smoked 9 of them eeek! Back home now stroking my e cig!

I'm not sure if it's a case of me getting more used to it. I mixed some juices to try get what I'm looking for a mixture of black jack and peanut butter seems to be hitting the spot at the moment lol. Not sure it would taste nice mixed foodwise but vapour wise it is hitting the spot. I am finding now I am used to vaping a bit more I'm able to drag more without that gagging. If there is anyone that wouldn't mind a coffee with a newbie though I'll buy in exchange for tips  |

I don't think I will be putting away the cash saved, with 2 kids no matter how much cash I have it seems to vanish but life will certainly be easier. Especially if we both manage to stop with vaping. Hubby is using my spare battery until his kit arrives so that's £12 not spent on cigs today already. |

Today hasn't been so bad, I did have a morning cig though. I just automatically got one out of the box and lit, I don't think I actually needed it because I didn't enjoy it and went straight to the riva after that. I do need to get more flavour out of the riva though. At times today it has tasted as though I am smoking air, other times it has been ok. Another test was passed I visited some relatives that are smokers and I would usually have 3 to 5 cigs while there chatting and drinking coffee. I just had my riva and didn't feel as though I was missing anything. It has even made them question whether it would work for those, they know I am the worlds worst for chain smoking in a social environment. They also know how much I have struggled with cravings when I have tried to quit before, so they can't believe how well I am doing with the riva already. They all even had a little puff but none of them were keen on my mintoff juice and would prefer tobacco but after the initial choking they agreed it was just like dragging on a real cig. Maybe I should ask vape escape for commission if they buy I'll buy a tobacco juice for them to try I think. |

I can taste the flavours it is just very subtle which I could probably handle if this after taste would stop. I'll just keep trialing various juices and see what workd for me. I ordered more juices with hubbys set tonight so I'll test those when they arrive too.
Just charging a battery up is it done when the light turns green (riva battery)?

You mention about the coughinh with the high Nic' Cornflake. I still cough a fair bit if I've let myself smoke for a few days. It does take a while to lose the cough for some people. Main thing is to just do what you feel okay doing. Thank you It's not a cough as such more a choke/gag. I do have a sensative gag reflex anyway. I seem to have got this under control now and have found where my drawing in limit is. Now to master tasting more flavour and I am laughing. |

I do think the 20mgs of nicotine is too high for me though, next time I will try maybe 18 and work my way down. What sort of real cigs were you on? My daily intake (real tobacco) was up to 15-20mg and using 18mg liquid on anything other than a powerful device left me climbing the walls. I reckon go too low and you might struggle. Unless you were on lights of course.... I smoked Sterling Kingsize 0.8mg nicotine according to the box (is that per cig)? I am using the 20mg nicotine right now and feel that is enough for me (maybe even a bit too much I have had a few head rushes). My problem I am finding right now is I have right now is the after taste I get is quite bitter no matter which juice I use and I'm not getting the flavour hit I had hoped for. |
