Awww Hissie thats really kind :0) Thank you so much for the offer.
I have been having a think and I am really happy that I have found away to give up smoking. In reality using cartos and refilling them is soooo much cheaper than buying fags so I am going to stop moaning.
Messy is just my middle name. I am constantly walking into walls/tables/people. I will spill everything. All pens leak on me. Its just the way I am. I do have a syringe though but also end up pushing the plunger so fast even when I try not to I still end up with juice everywhere :0)
Are you thinking hopelss case yet? Lol

Hmmm thats really intresting Hissie. I loved loved loved James lime juice but I also got the cherry and didnt like it. I could see where the cherry taste came from but it wasnt right for me. I'm so glad you mentioned it. Shortly after I had a tastebud crash where everything tasted of evil and I went straight back to menthol. Its only in the last few days I have begun to expand my range. I will try the orange and grape though. Also James has just added key lime which he said is stronger than the regular lime so going tio give that a whirl as well. I also like the sweetness of VG over the dryness of PG. You are a VG vaper arent you Hissie? And a cart user? DOes it all flow as it should? I mainly use cartos and go through a ton of juice and I think its because its thicker and Im a messy thing too :0)

This is one of those posts but I have to say it... You guys are brilliant! I really doubt I would be over a month into not smoking if it wasnt for the help and surport of this group. In the first instance I got a ton of help to buy the right product and saved myself a boat load of fustration that Ive seen other newbies face. When I ask a question even if it has been covered before I always get quick helpful replies and nobody suggests I JFGI. I have been included in the China group order even though I had only been a member of this forum for a few weeks at the time. THANKS so much again Perpy. And the forum feels like home already. There is no clique. When someone new joins I love how the get welccomed because I seen other forums where unless your face fits you are ignored. This is just a fab place and I just wanted to say thanks

Ian - fingers crossed it will get there :0) I honestly thinkI am overly sensitive to nicotine as a smoker. When on the fags I often really wanted to light another one up for the sensation but would develop blinding headaches, but still lit up anyway. Those headaches are something I am trying to avoid with the e-cigs so when I started out I picked lower nic stuff (11mg) and then playing arroung added VG until I couldnt see through the vapour cloud so I guess it was about 7mg ish. Now I have a range of nic strengths but dilute dilute dilute. These new ones from Enjuice are far too harsh at 11mg but you cant get them lower from there. So when testing themIamtaking a puff every while. Any nic replacement thing will have me curled up in a ball within minutes feeling very very sick. The thing I like is the action and HUGE vapour clouds so I am a fairy cheap date in that respect.The stuff I got from Perpy from China 100ml of 18mg willlast me ages.

Its intresting how everyone "gets" a differint flavour out of the juices. I am looking for a really jucey juice and the ones I have plumped for after reading reviews dont work the same way for me. For example I am getting a creamy chew flavour from the apple rather than a sharp boiled sweet apple flavour. In other news I have mentholated my taste buds into oblivion tonight so I am now vaping unflavoured as I cant taste bugger all anywway :0)

Hiya Jason
I bougt a Riva 510 kit from LF just a few weeks ago and it DOES come with a plug thing so you can plug you bat into the wall socket.
Welcome to the group as well. I doubt you will find a more helpful or friendlier place on the web. I have asked many a daft question and have never been threaten with the stupid stick.

As a fairly new vaper I am doing my bestest to try and ensure that my savings on cigs at least equals my spending on e-cigs. Blimey though its tough. I now have a Tornado kit and a Riva kit so fairly sorted with the hardwear (Grrrr to you Tank atties).
But juices, now that is a whole new ball game. I can mix a minty menthol juice that works well for me but with reading all these forums I keep thinking I want to try all the flavours in the world. Out of every 10 I buy I find I like 1, 1 that is ok and 8 that taste like death. And its costing me a fortune. Luckly menthol can kill most things so its not all bad and almost allof the minty ones are good.
Is this normal? How many juices does it take before you admit that you should stick to what you know? Does everyone have a stack of juices that just the thought makes them run screaming from the room?

Well day 2. Dear Diary....... Gah! I suppose its getting better a slight bit. Now I can taste curry leaves rather than vomit so its all good. Lol. Im adding menthol and flavourart pepermint in vast quanities to get over the above mentioned problem. I love how easy it is. I love the vaper. I dont care about throat hit so not getting any doesnt bother me in the slightest. But flavour, Ian I would take no flavour over this any day. I have tried another few juices in cartos and love the rasp coconut ice very much. But yuk almighty in the tank.

And thanks again Hissie (hope I didnt sound snarky because I really wasnt . I really apprciate how friendly and welcoming this site is esp compared to other sites. Really sorry if it came across as snarky ) I can only work the joye cartos, the expensive ones at 2 quid each and even if I do refill then was looking for another system. I have posted a thread about not being able to work atties I am a hopeless vaper and have no hopes or ambitions of using super duper mods with all the bells and whistles.

Thank you everyone who has tried to help.
Kenny - Ive done both and still getting nowhere. Thanks
Ian - Its really disapointing when everyone is raving about them. I love the idea and hope that it improves tomorrow. I know I am dead lucky because I do have a system that works for me (cartos) so I am not tempted to go and buy fags.
Lisa - Thanks so much for going through everything. I dont have any vodka (it makes me too fiesty) but I will wash everything out and see if that helps.
I am not totally giving up yet. It might be a case of introducing too many new things at once with the new flavours as well as the new system. I have a few days off on thur and fri so I will set those aside to either really crack it or bury it in the garden.

Oh Im using EVERYTHING. I using mostly high % PG but have also tried just plain VG to smoke the taste out. I have had a go at a tank of just PG too. The taste is still there.
I am giving up for tonight and will try tomorrow. I just had a thought that maybe the blank tanks are holding a flavour so EVERYTHING will be washed out tomorrow and I will start again.
In other taste news I have filled a carto with the Coffee Supreme flavour and thats very nice. Maybe I should just give up on anything that isnt a Joye 510 carto and relax :0)

Ha ha ha :0) Hmm intresting. I had read about it not wicking well but totally forgot about it. I have spun the tanks. pushed it down for two clicks and made primer puffs without activting the battery. I have left a nice gap for the liquid to do its thing and still, still its doing unspeakable things to my taste buds.
