Thanks for the tip millerkev. The ten bottles of "sample" flavours I bought have been by far the biggest waste of money, but it has helped me find 2-3 flavours I really like. It would be good to offload the ones I don't want, so I'll consider selling them on and I'll certainly visit some shops in future to find some new flavours that I like. The shops seem to be popping up everywhere, or maybe I just didn't notice them before!

Hi Django - I was smoking around the same amount of rolling tobacco as you, if not more. You my find my thread useful to read:

So it's the end of my first week vaping and it's gone really well! Despite me still having quite a lot of rolling tobacco left over, I've not touched cigarettes since the moment the liquids arrived. There's only been a couple of occasions when I've gone to roll a cigarette, but that was more from habit rather than anything else. A quick vape and I soon forgot about it.

The Vamo with the Viva Nova works great - I use the variable voltage feature on the Vamo quite a bit, and a 18650 battery lasts me about a day and a half. I'm really happy with what I've bought, but the charger included with the Vamo is very cheap and flimsy, so if anything that's the only thing I would consider upgrading.

I bought a selection of ten 10mg eLiquids with different nicotine strengths from LTcigs. A couple I didn't really like and I've not tried all of them to be honest (I bought several different tobacco flavour, and I've not bothered with a few of them yet). My favorite has been the Blackcurrent/Licorice/Menthol at 20mg. I've finished that bottle and now I using up the very similar Blackcurrent/Licorice, also at 20mg.

Overall it has been a great success so far. The last couple of days I've noticed an improved sense of taste and smell and I'm sure over the next few weeks I'll notice having healthier lungs too. It's great not stinking of fags all the time - either on my clothes or the house.

Thanks for the advice from everyone on here - without your input I would have bought totally different things, which would probably have left me disappointed.

I received the rest of my stuff today, but I have a problem - the 306 drip tips do not fit the 306 atomisers? I do still have the two tanks, but this means I can only try two flavours

I've tried Licorice/Black Currant/Menthol in the Vivi Nova so far - not too bad, but tastes a little "burnt" and nowhere near as "fruity" or "sweetlike" as I was expecting.

Thanks Andy, As it happens I did order a spare 1.8 ohm head as well, so that was lucky. Everyone is very helpful on here, and although I did quite a bit of my own research, you guys have been a great help in steering me in the right direction.

I've bought spares etc, because plan to to get everything together and then stop smoking the rollies, so I'm a bit paranoid about finding myself without some part or other and then going to the shop to buy more tobacco!

I've spent £75-£80 so far, so that leaves around £20 of my budget to get some liquids from LTecigs.

My Vamo has arrived already, less than 24hrs after ordering - problem is I have no liquids! Very happy with the service from the seller.

Anyway could anyone answer my last questions, so I can order the other stuff?:

"So just the drip tips and liquids to buy now. The 306 drip tips have been mentioned, as well as the need for a 306 atomiser. My understanding is that "306" is a size, and that the Vamo is 510? Also lots of talk about "bridged" or "bridgeless", "drip shields" and a whole load of other stuff I don't understand! Doesn't my Vamo kit already come with an atomiser? Don't I just need a 510 drip tip for that atomiser?

Also any recommendations for liquids? I'm looking for a tobacco "amberleaf" like flavour to try, and also a few other flavours - many people seem to like the menthol/blackcurrant/liquorice so thats already on my list."

Okay so I plan to get the following:

Vamo v2 (Stainless Steel)
Vision Vivi Nova V2.5 Kit
1 x 18650 Battery
2 x 18350 Batteries
Charger
2 x 306 Drip tips

Does that cover everything? Do I need syringes to fill it or anything like that? I don't want to get the stuff and then find I still need something!

The reason I'm ordering one 18650 Battery and two 18350 Batteries, is that the 18650 should last me all day at home, and then the two smaller ones are backups and one can also be used when I go out by shortening the Vamo - is this right?

PS Thanks raw, I used to live in Southampton but now I live in Manchester.
