Hi boys n gals.......... OK still not had a "real cig" since mid Jan started on the Riva in March (I think ) On the whole I am still happy (ish) My opinions so far............. the cartomisers in the kit are a bit disappointing - don't last very long at all! the clearomiser leaked all over the place but was awesome whilst it worked......... On the whole my most satisfying vap is from my self-re-filled 10motives cartomisers????? (I kept around 30 and I can get at least 4 weeks out of them) I am now starting to run out of these and wonder what to do next? I hear mention of Boge - or am I barking up the wrong tree? ?

I dont know, but it is not necessarily related to nicotine, especially seeing as you said this is lower strength than previously. I think it might be due to the menthol, as menthol has an effect on the sinuses, and that can have an effect on how the head feels. Obviously I dont know, but perhaps it is the menthol. Here is a suggestion..and it sounds crazy, but you may be surprised, that flavourless e liquid is actually really nice. I get just as much satisfaction from flavourless e liquid, as I do flavoured stuff. And there is an added bonus that it means your atties last forever. I am strongly considering trying a lower strength juice Yes I vap more than I used to smoke I have quoted "gaura" because I am interested in the menthol angle...... anyone else got thoughts on this??? thanks for the advice so far

BUT................... ...............Juice started off with trip hammers stuff at 18mg - loved it loved it loved it .............wife said I stank like an old ashtray ......to keep things sweet at home I tried a menthol juice (not saying from where - not Jason though) the menthol was a VG at 11mg after a fortnight I noticed fuzzy type feelings in my head .........this has continued and is different to the high I could achieve if I overdosed on the trip hammer stuff ..................so does anyone know whats going on? is it too strong for me?

To be honest, I think any vendor which can't make the same flavour time after time should bw named and shamed. At the end of the day, we are the consumers and should only get the best, fully quality controlled juices out there. If the flavours vary then what about the nic, pg and vg? Ecigs are still fairly new, you are going to have an explosion of new vendors at 1st due to how easy it is to rake a bit of cash from the ecig market but by naming and shaming, they either step up or step down and go home. I have nothing against new vedors or new small businesses opening but it needs to be done properly and for the right reasons. Well this is sort of my point........... my current vendor has just supplied me with a 30ml menthol juice the last 30ml bottle he supplied me with lasted me 14 days (which seems to be consistently my intake) the current bottle is roughly half full in 4 days.......... I am a creature of habit (almost to the half hour) and cannot understand this at all the nic strength is the same and works the same, the flavour is pretty much the same so............? just thought I would ask!!!!

Well I`m NOT going to mention names (yet/or maybe) I have now tried 5 different suppliers of the magic juice 2 were "brill" but left a detectable odour on my person 2 were good but did nothing for me........... my most recent (which was a menthol) was good but clearly watered down (I assume that's possible?!?) the last supplier provides an acceptable Vape but I am going through the juice in an alarmingly quick fashion (this may explain the bargain price) ................as usual I have a question........... will some suppliers really be surprised when regulation is imposed? ?????

On a more serious note this is the product that BAT are going to get MHRA approval for, so a crappy 99p cigalike is going to be sold for £6.99 and also be prescribed on the NHS so costing the tax payer more. And why are they only selling disposables? To keep the price up or to keep in line with the MHRA's made up regulations that talk about regulated dose/use which to me means a product that supplies a fixed dose for a fixed time and doesn't allow you to overdose? So a disposable that won't last you more than a few hours stops you from overdosing? Then the price stops you from buying more? So you go back to the stinkies. Success!!! Big Cig make money, Big Pharma make money, poor smoker dies....who cares??? Well you hit the nail on the head there.................. I started off with disposable "10Motives" - I bought 2. they lasted me 2 days and 1.5days respectively costing (at the time 5.99 each) I used to smoke approx. 10 a day so was happy with above I then switched to 10Motives rechargeable and used 15 refills a fortnight. ,I gave up real ciggies quite happily I went off 10Motives due to "appalling" battery life This site "revealed" the impressive mysteries of RIVA1100 I am NEVER going back to crap products like this BUT............... I fear you are correct ................ .............we may have no choice (the power of "lobbying" hey!!! )

That's the way it goes, you should know you can't have it all your own way No recommendations I'm afraid as I avoid most of the baccy types myself. I do however like RY4/5 but not sure how that would compare to the stuff you have been using. I would say you should try more flavours, this vaping lark didn't really work for me until I let go of the baccy flavours. So are you saying I should try a "non" tobacco flavour???? ..........was thinking about menthol? at the moment I find the thought of fruit a bit disconcerting.......... I asked my question because I was worried I might need to cut down on the nicotine levels..... ...............currently using 18mg (with trip hammer) I was also using this level on Nu-cig and my original 10 motives ..........how do you guage the strength? ????

Looking for suggestions on good tobacco flavours, I used to smoke lambert and butler and so far I have tried RY4 from vapeland-hated it, HS delight from vapeescape- didn't like that one, Gold and silver from vapeland didn't like that aswell, L&b from stockport e cig company, you guessed it -horrible! they all seemed to have a funny hard to explain sharp sickly taste to them, the only ones I seem to like are American Red and old English from totally wicked but the prices are a bit of a joke there, any suggestions greatly appreciated. Trip Hammer`s Temptation and Hedges Gold (vapeescape) comes recommended by me......... It tasted slightly sweet for the first day or so but then tasted like a fag The vapour (if sniffed) very closely smells like a real fag Only issue I have is that it smells - hands breath and room all smell like someone smoked in it a couple of days ago (ie very faint but noticeable) I love it but I get busted if I vap inside so............. back to the shed

How long is each vape? Some have a 10 second cut off - hence the flashing. Now that I didn't know!!!! - thanks it may just explain it 10 seconds hey - so no more super vapes

Ok more info chaps........
battery1 did actually last 2 days again - it did repeatedly flash every 3rd or 4th vape but still worked ???
battery 2 inserted late yesterday, not flat yet but again flashes periodically
I am not unhappy just confused...........remember I got used to 10motives batteries that lasted an hour max so this is sooo much better
what I am trying to work out is if this is normal, is there something I am doing wrong etc
On the whole I love this machine and am very very happy but is this behaviour normal?

Length time of how long the battery will last also depends on what is fitted on top of it, If one battery has a low ohms fitted it will drain a lot faster than one fitted with high ohms. That might explain why one has drained quicker than the other, if both batteries was fitted with the same ohms than that's strange. Give them both a full charge and see how it goes. Low Ohms? ??? I have only used one of the "supplied" cartomisers so far (same one ) I have also used one of my old 10motives cartomisers (again same one in both batteries) In other words both batteries have done the same thing with the same attachments
