Well, that's what I was thinking Chrissie, but I wondered if I was being a bit too optimistic.

How's the Mako going Lilac?

Hissie, if you pop the good battery onto the charger the blue button should flash a few times and the light on the charger change from green to red. I realise your battery is not yet flat, but you will have used some of the power and so this should give you an indication of whether the charger is working.

Both the atties that came with my Riva from LF are Titan branded. They were wrapped in the box so I'm guessing Abe's supplier sent them to him that way.

Thanks for that Lilac - I was sure I had clicked that earlier....

Vaping is different to smoking in the draw. With smoking, you can literally have a quick puff, but as the atomiser needs to warm up, vaping must be slower.

It is best to press the button just a second or so before you inhale (which starts the atty up), then take a low and slow draw. The thing that always reminds me just how long, is remembering people complaining that one of the devices had a cut off time of 10 seconds! I can only draw for about 4 or 5 and that's if I am trying hard!

I don't think there is anything specific to the Riva that you can do - it's just generally getting used to vaping I guess.

Sorry, should have explained. The RY4 is 36mg from Paradisevape, it's just that the only spare bottles I have are from TW

The Cafe Brasiliano is 18mg from TW.

The Drum is what it is marked as

I wanted to send you a selection of strengths and flavours so you had a chance to experiment.

I find with the higher juice, I vape less often - I get my nicotine levels up higher more quickly. I used to smoke Marlboro lights and I now use 32 or 36mg liquid. Don't write off the 36mg just yet!

Profbeard was explaining on another forum this morning about using stronger liquids "It is common for people to start off "too weak" (usually because they smoked "lights") because vaping and smoking is different..."

Regarding juice, most of mine are from Enjuice. I probably have around 35 of their juices now and love almost all of them because they are strong and distinctive flavours. I believe Mark is back from his holidays in the next couple of days and his orders always arrive next day (for me) Use UKVapers to get 5% off.

I find TW liquids a bit too sweet and cloying, although the flavours are strong. That said, I have not tried their tobacco, just coffee, fruit and sweet juices.

OKSmokey had some good clearance deals last time I looked and I believe his postage is free as well. He does a multi pack with 5 x 10ml bottles for just over £21 with a good range of flavours to choose from. That is pretty good value for money

Liberty flights sell 5ml bottles in all their flavours. With the discount code ECR69 they work out at just over £2.50 each

Judy, the atties arrive covered with a 'primer' from the factory (some sort of protections I believe).

This can a) taste nasty and b) take a while to wear off, so it takes a while to get the atties going at their full potential. Some are worse than others, although I don't know why.

Keep it moist (ohh err) and keep going. Within a short time you should be vaping plumes!

ETA You can blow some of the primer out I believe, but it seems every time I blow out an atty it slips into a coma, so I tend not to bother.
