I bought some e liquid locally last week and planned on throwing it out as it tasted of ...well nothing . After reading your opening post which encouraged some research i added some menthol crystals to seep and whilst its not great it is very usable(and my wife even liked it (I ve got some flavours ordered up as she simply has nt liked any of the tobacco flavours ive ordered up so its good shes got something short term until i get her chocolate caramel etc mixed up. I never thought personally id move away from tobacco flavours but after an epiphany last week i realised tobacco is just the medium to the nic and other flavours would help remove the tobacco association over time. cheers

Speaking as one of the aforementioned newbies All you regulars here should never underestimate just how much the information you all pass on helps those of us new to vaping and giving up smoking. 32 - 34 years of smoking i had resigned myself to always being a smoker until i bought an e lite then in turn found this forum and moved onto a Riva. I ve now put a plan into place of making my own e liquid and slowly over time reducing the nic content gradually. Without the info here the Riva would never have happened and as for mixing my own liquids????well that would have just been plain silly Sooooo thanks to all you guys for starting my learning and having somewhere to learn lots more is simply invaluable.

Well done Dinamic I think we bought the Riva kit on the same sunday as ,mentioned on another thread ....glad yours arrived ok. Im two weeks without a cigarette now and i just ordered up some DIY mixes to start mixing my own (thats the unexpected bonus of using e cigs as a method to stopping smoking,..theres enough new things to learn about whether it be equipment or self mixing etc to keep from thinking about cigarettes and just enjoying learning )` Its such a massive revelation to find its possible to go without cigarettes after many many years of smoking and wishing you all the best in your stopping journey

Hi Whilst waiting for my riva to arrive i refilled the empty e lite carts id used up and they was just as good as when they were bought new at a fraction of the cost(so far any of the eliquid suppliers i ve ordered from i ve received the order one complete day after ordering(ordered monday midday received wednesday am) although i did buy the e liquid locally in edinburgh for the e lite rathering than paying the silly money e lite want for carts

Thanks for all your replies I m kinda used to taste / smells as a big part of my job(chef for my sins) and i could nt agree more with you all on smells tastes changing due to taste buds and getting used to tastes etc but i really do think that what may have happened is the mix seperating with a concentrate on top and my lack of experience in not ensuring a good re mix before using. Thanks for the menthol recipe and as im very interested in mixing my own it ll be a good toe dipper to start of with Thanks again

Hi all I bought some e liquid the other day but i ve noticed a definate drop in both smell and taste of the liquid,is this normal or a sign the quality is nt quite good enough? (when i bought it i did shake it up so dont think its the mix seperating ,if indeed that can happen) Secondly, I ve looked but with no success for a simple medium range tobacco recipe to try my hand at mixing(not quite ready to do it yet but having a recipe to look over and read up on before going ahead would be useful) Finally (for now ) can anyone recommend a good low nic menthol e liquid (say 6 mg )?...idea being something i can use to slowly help move away from high nic liquids and use in the evenings as i find myself using the high nic mix a little too much at night. Thanks for replies

Would the carts from an 1100 fit on one of those (just thinking that she could simply swap over when needed to)?? Yes they will Rich . . . the parts are interchangeable. If they are Low Resistance carto's, you can still use them except you'll shorten the battery life and run time. Im ordering her up the 1100 today so ill run this one past her to see if she wants it also(makes alot of sense to be able to easily swap thanks very much

Thanks for both replies After she has slept on it shes asked me to order her up the Riva 1100 so she can at least start vaping at home for now and she liked both suggestions you guys put forward for something she can use when out and about. Im obviously keen that she moves over to vaping and if the Riva 1100 helps her make the shift then its all good, but i can apppreciate her not wanting to use it in public for now and then following up with one of your suggestions for when shes out once she gets used to the Riva. Thanks again

Hi again I received my Riva 1100 this morning and alls going well with it. My wife who still smokes liked it(hated the juice i bought but otherwise she said it was just like a cigarette and was impressed)Now shes definately swerving towards e cigs but the one stumbling point is the size of the Riva as she would like something about the size of a normal cigarette but she knows the high street ones are a waste of time.(she would use the Riva indoors but would nt feel comfortable using it outside at work etc) Is there anything out there that could suit her that would at least come close to the Riva with a reasonable battery life that she would feel comfortable with?? Thanks Rich
