Hi and greetings from another newbie! I purchased the VE Riva 1100 kit and have been merrily chugging away on it since last Wednesday. I'm a cig-a-like convertee too after joining this forum. I am extremely happy with it, so easy to use and can thoroughly recommend it for a 'beginner'. You'll get all you need to get up and puffing straight away in the kit. Sorry that I can't offer any technical advice. I'll leave that to the other more knowledgeable Techie boffins here. Good luck and enjoy! BTW, Vape Escape are offering a 12.5% discount until the end of the month as opposed to the usual 10% that you would use here. It's NEWYEAR and you apply it at checkout.

Thank you Skwoddy, that's it! Are there any other sweetie flavours from there that are recommended? I know that taste is subjective etc, but I trust you lot. After all, everyone was right about the GVC.

Aye! I've been mixing a couple of drops of it in everything! Except menthol. Which is pants. I've been so self-restrained.
It's effing beaut! I feel like pouring over EVERYTHING, even my dinner. But I don't wish to sicken myself of the stuff so I won't. For now...
I forsee a mahoosive order coming up very soon.
When's payday, Mr W-B-S?

'Lo!
I recall reading somewhere in the depths of the forum about Pear Drops e-juice, but I was silly and didn't bookmark it.
I think I need to try some. And cinnamon too, if it exists?
Can anyone direct me to a Ye Olde Fashionede Sweete Shoppe juice vendor where I can get my hot and stickies on some?
Thank thee muchly!

Two cig-free weeks for me I was an 'accidental quitter' and I have hardly thought about smoking since discovering the pleasure that is vaping. I mean, why would I want a smoke, when I can have my Nick o' Teen delivered in caramel, coffee, raspberry, custard, mixed fruits, liquorice...? XXX

Just thinking, though...
Seeing as I was just having a tastelet, wouldn't I have been better just to have dripped it?
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!
*clamps hands over side of head due to information saturation*
I need to put this forum down for a while!

It does get better with age Whambam I know, I know, I know! Well, so I've been told! It was only about 5 drops, honestly and they were wee teeny-weeny drops too! I will be a good girl now I know what to expect in a few days' time. XXX

...must be the elixir of life. Plopped a couple of drops into a carto just to try as I'm an impatient cow and can't wait 'til the full recommended steeping period is up.
It's like a party on my poor, knackered taste buds.
That will be all.

That's fantastic! Think how much you could single-handedly be saving the NHS in the future! You need some sort of certificate of achievement XXX

Well, well! My GVC arrived this morning, quicker than a very fast, quick and speedy thing along with a lovely wee hand-written note from Grant to say that it has already been steeping for 6 days. Great service - I am impressed So it is now in my locked stash box, lid off for another day. Well, they do advise a minimum of 7 days, don't they? Please don't tell me that it is far better to wait another week and 1 day. Not that I'm counting or anything. I couldn't bear the wait, I don't think.

Folks!
I mentioned that I would reply to all who commented or advised, but it is now getting late and I have been completely overwhelmed by your responses, wit and good words of wisdom, that I will just get down to today's thoughts. Suffice to say I really appreciate all your input - even the curry vaping video and the info on what I would expect my body parts to fetch in monetary terms. Not much by the looks of it. I think my eggs may be near the best before date now.
Sooooooooooo, I conducted a sort of mini experiment today. The Riva or cartos or clearo or even a combination of all elements was not hitting the spot, throat-wise. The (ahem *whispers tentatively*) Nicolites formely were, so this is what I did:
I chucked some ejuice into one of my old 510 Nicolites carto to see if it was perhaps the resistance of the cartos S/R that came with the kit or the Vision Ego Standard Resistance Clearomiser. I found that the old Nico cartos did indeed increase the TH. All juices so far have been 5ml samples from VE, 18/20mg, so not entirely sure what the PG/VG/BEE-GEE ratio is - 70/30?
Will ya look at her all talking like she's been on here for years?
I have concluded that Nico cartridges must be low resistance, maybe, perhaps?Therefore I need me some LR 510 cartos and/or a LR clearo. I would be interested to know what the ratio of the juice is in Nicos is anyone would have a foggy notion?
I therefore felt a pressing need to go e-shopping. Again. Tonight's basket contained the following necessary items:
1. Grizwald's Gourmet Range > Pick 'n' Mix Grizwald's Pick 'n' Mix Apple and Pear Torte, Banoffee Cream, Black Cat, Gingerbread, Peaches
2. Vaping Spares > Cartomisers Kanger 510 LR Cartomisers Horizontal Coil (5) Stainless Steel VE225 Stainless Steel. (Having just been doing my homework here earlier, though, I am hoping that these will be ok with the Riva battery, using low voltage or whatever, but the blurb said it was compatible with Riva batteries, so...
3. Vaping Spares > Drip Tips Transparent Coloured Drip Tips (510/901) Clear VE142 Clear X 4
I ordered me a sample of some cowardly, cowardly GVC juice yesterday from the custard vendor, just to see what all the hype is about.
Ah, never mind. Sure, I'll just not feed the kids next week instead. They'll understand.

Don't sell your kidney, sell Mr Sam or the children first Terrible suggestion ... Trade for juice or a mod, surely? I agree. I need to build up my stash, then. Good excuse, good excuse... XXX

LOL It's a lot better, innit? Forget the size, you'll get used to it & nobody takes much notice when you're out & about. Getting flavours sorted to your taste takes a wee while, but is fun whilst you try to find your vaping nirvana. The cost is under your control....or this lot on here!! The main thing is, get a few assorted juices, back ups & a spare charger. Enjoy & welcome to the club! Thank you! Yes, yes it is! I fear that the cost may not be under my control for much longer. I sense it starting to spiral. You haven't seen my virtual shopping basket this past week! <------- I have discovered the other smiley button! XXX
