I think that deal seems good Lilac

The only other I would suggest is www.smokejuice.co.uk/userimages/procart17.htm as it is a good deal for Janty and comes with prefilled cartridges.

Well done on your 7 1/2 hours Hanow! I remember when I first started (and so I should - was just 20 weeks ago) it was such a revelation not to need a smoke. I was totally gobsmacked that it was working for me and thrilled too!

You need to keep your filler wet, (or alternatively, drip directly onto the atomiser, not too much though) as you will get a burnt taste if you let the atomiser dry out and this will kill it very quickly.

When I get a new atty, I always make sure my filler is soaked and I also drip a couple of drops directly onto the atty so it doesn't burn out.

Hi Tara

I am one of the Riva fans. However, I should add that I used a basic 901 kit for the first 4 months of vaping and although I did add others to my collection, I found the 901 kit perfectly adequate and would still recommend it to anyone wanting to give vaping a try. It is easy to use and won't make too big a hole in your pocket.

I tried to think up some pros and cons

901 (this applies to a 510 as well, but I've never had one of them!)
Pros
One of the cheapest starting options
Easy to use
Not too heavy and very slimline
A great introduction into vaping

Cons
Battery life is relatively short and runs out just when you don't want it to. Even when swapping the two batteries, if you are out and about during the day, you will need to find a way to charge them to last a whole day.

Riva
Pros
Long battery life - less concerns about charging when out and about. Two charged batteries will easily last a day of very heavy vaping
Easy to use
Not too expensive - more than a 901, but only about £10/£12 more
You probably won't find yourself looking for a different device with more oomph, therefore saving money in the long run!

Cons
Heavier than a 901 and impossible to hold it as you would a normal ciggie.
Slightly dearer than the 901/510 options

Both will need replacement atomisers every few weeks and replacement batteries every few months (or longer) The atomisers are the same cost for either option but the batteries for the Riva are around £4 dearer

Hope that helps a bit

That's great news Dee - You won't regret it and if you do, I'll buy it off of you

There is a very good guide for testing batteries here www.ladyada.net/learn/multimeter/voltage.html

Now THAT is really naughty!
