Thankfully my daughter has always hated smoking but in your position spikey i can imagine that if she was a smoker just how happy i would be if she stopped before the damage was done.

welcome Necromankas and still fairly new myself you ll be amazed at how interesting it all becomes the more you learn (from mixing your own to re wicking coils(my next step) to various models etc etc)

That looks exactly like a kit i bought sometime back(but with more bits) but rebranded

I was advised against it as i got told it would overheat if used for more than 5 to 10 minutes but as i could nt afford a dremmel at the time i went ahead and bought it and never had any problems with it.

Looks a really good buy

Always handy to see something done once before starting ourselves



Maybe put taping of the glass part and threading onto an old disharged ecigalike (using the cigalike as a drill bit) for the aga (and replacing sandpaper for fine wire wool)???

hope it helps

Thank god for that we can all get some sleep now .......

Seriously ...Saw your post further down and glad you like it

A voyage of discovery Perpetua

Could nt agree more.

I suppose if im honest i have looked at money spent on vaping to money saved on tobacco and although tobacco is slightly ahead just now it ll soon come back into line and ill reach "breakeven " soon enough then ill actually save some money since stopping smoking

Cheers again and good luck with  buying i mean vaping

I cant deny theres definately an element of i want wants more, but on reading here and around the net and watching vids, what ive learnt is that the different liquids do work better with different voltages / watts.(remember im a newbie too ))

i ve experimented with different liquids since getting the riva and now im a little more used to the tastes i definately pick up when one could do with being higher volts and one or two seem a tiny bit burnt and lower volts would be better(not really burnt but cant really explain that one) on the riva.(but then thats easily solved by having low resistant and standard carts for example)

Im certainly not qualified to advise but in my mind if i was to say " is the Riva good enough for long term"??= yes definately and no real need to upgrade.

I ve switched to vaping to eventually stop the smoking/nicotine habit completely, but after 30 plus years of heavy smoking im realistic and know im in it for the long haul and with the exception of the mvp each thing i ve bought is bought for a specific purpose (keyring= workbreaks... Riva1100 = day to day when out and about(keyring probably would nt last the whole day) vamo = chilling at home and really getting to experiment with flavours as i ve started learning to make my own liquids and being a chef it is automatically interesting to tweak and combine flavours) and as i said the mvp is possibly a wee treat when i reach two months of not smoking for no other reason than i really like the look of it and its vv function.

I was semi serious earlier when i said id avoid the fasttech and bargain thread earlier as anything else for me would just be want for wants sake.

I suppose to summarise "if i could have no other option but the Riva would i be happy? yes definately and no reason to upgrade unless you want to, could i keep collecting different models of VPs??yes definately.....but i wont

Hope this helps spikus
