just before i found this forum and realised there were better options than the high street e cigs, i realised the ecig was going to prove at least as expensive and probably more than roll ups.
At that point i was going to use the ecig as a short term measure to help stop smoking but now my plan is to slowly over time gradually reduce the nicotine content...then decide if i would keep vaping without nicotine. I think if they start increasing the price via taxes etc i would revert back to using vaping as a short term(albeit more stressful)way to stop smoking as for me it was almost equal measures of saving money and the health benefits of stopping smoking(plus its becoming increasingly awckward to smoke these days in public, at work etc)

Its arrived My Riva has just arrived (heard it drop through the letterbox and i was more excited than my two yorkies to see the postman ) I ve set it up and loaded a cart , left it to soak for half an hour (nearly) then just tried the gold and silver i ordered with it. like everyone says there is simply no comparison to the e lites. and i am so happy i could almost break into a smile (wont overdo the happy bit though) Im guessing the gold and silver is a B and H tobacco type??compared to the b and H i bought locally in edinburgh the one that came with the Riva is wayy superior(so im guessing either the one i bought locally is either simply poor quality or maybe still needs to mature..... ill maybe leave it and see if it develops any. As a footnote, i know ive been asking for amber leaf type taste but long ago it was B and H i strarted smoking and enjoyed them but were just too expensive hence the roll ups....Ill experiment with other juices but for now im more than happy with the gold and silver. thanks for all the info to get me onto the right track and looking forward to learning from you guys and gals

Still waiting on delivery of mine, and looking forward to not smoking any more. I'll keep my 10 motives for work as it's small and lasts me a shift just fine, but with juice of my choice. And hello by the way :-) Same hear Simon and really hoping it arrives tomorrow as i work away from home so it ll be a week ill have to wait otherwise. Im thinking the same on using the e lite topped up with juice at work breaks. It just amazes me that after 30 plus years smoking something is out there to get me off the smoking wagon and know ill stay off cheers and good luck with the Riva

Hello again I ve just bought the Riva kit and really looking forward to it arriving(hopefully tomorrow) Meanwhile i went out this morning and picked up some juice to fill up my E Lite cartridges to keep me going. My problem is i really find the flavour and hit underwhelming, could someone recommend a juice that is similiar to the E Lite(I actually quite like the four to five draws i get before the mix weakens and the battery goes into free fall) I smoked Amber leaf roll ups before stopping last week( i just remembered...one week today )so maybe along those lines also. Thanks for any suggestions Rich

Hello Simon My first post here as ive been reading here all week after buying elites and as frustrating as the poor battery is and the overly expensive refills are i cant really knock them as they have kept me off cigarettes for a whole week now. However it could have so easily been me that wrote your post as im off out tomorrow to buy some e juice to top up my spare carts as im fed up with the cost of the refills and the exaggerated 40 cigs to one refill claim......but.....i ordered the riva 1100 about two hours ago and really looking forward to it arriving in the next few days. Rich Ps Hello everyone whilst im here and congratulations on a very friendly and helpful forum
