Vapeescape are a great vendor! You will struggle to find liquid that tastes exactly like a ciggie I like the Black Cat from VE if you do order from there 'allabout' gives 10% discount Thanks Karma What voltage does the Riva require to charge it? will my 10motives mains charger fit it? it gives out 5volts DC

Hello again! ....I said I would need help So I have been doing some reading around and have more questions... Up until recently I was quite happy with the system I started off with ( 10Motives) I was paying £5.99 for 5 refills in Sainsburys and 2 packs were lasting me a week (so compared with real cigs =RESULT!) I always enjoyed the hit nicotine gave me BUT hated smelling like a tramp (e-cig = RESULT) price has now gone up £1 a pack and I struggle to stick to 2 packs a week. (so not quite as happy) someone suggested refilling my used refills which I have done for the last week (VG only mix from nucig SO HAPPIER!!!) now don`t know if its because I am constantly refilling old refills or the crappy batteries, but once again its "not quite right" the 10motives gave me a slight cough - hence 100% vg was chosen on advice - this I now find gives me a slight sore throat and a slight runny nose (or is that a typical uk summer?) I know my present kit is on its last legs and needs replacing, this time I want to get it right..... money is very tight so I need to be sure.... Last night/yesterday you ALL welcomed me most heartily ( ) ..........and gave me a lot to think about Anyway today`s questions.......... I think on reflection I will go for the Riva1100 deluxe kit (..........unless?????) I need some more juice within 5 days but bearing in mind the above should I choose a PG?VG mix???? or just wait and get used to it? Also cannot see any info on here about nucig - is this something to be concerned about - I notice vapeescape (and lots of others) do liquid too if vapeescape are considered ok I may order everything at once not sure if there is anything else at the moment thanks I want a juice that tastes like a real ciggie - so tobacco flavour - the one I have just tried says it is "dunhill" - yeah right!!!

Hi lymmranger, and welcome to the forum! You've had some good advice so far, and I hope you are beginning to make some sense of the numbers etc. As has been said already, the higher the Mah (Milliamp/hour) rating, the longer the battery will last between charges. an 1100mah battery should last you the majority of a day with average vaping. These are also more costly to produce, so this is reflected in a higher price. These batteries would cost about £12-15 each if purchased separately. The VapeEscape kit is particularly good as it contains both cartomisers (a metal tube with a heating element which juice is soaked into) and a clearomiser (a more sophisticated version of a cartomiser with a see-through plastic tank, higher capacity, and in some cases the option to replace the atomiser head when it burns out after a couple of weeks). It may seem quite a high price to pay, but at £8.50 or thereabouts for a packet of fags, it's only a weeks worth of tobacco after which you will be in profit. Well, theoretically, because there will always be another juice or clearo which you will want to try!! Vape Escape are a well-respected vendor, and with the others listed in the vendors board on this forum, supplies good quality kit at a fair price. Beware - you can get these items (or similar in look to them) at a lower price, but they will be bad copies, and will probably not last that long. Whichever kit and juice you decide on, you will soon realise just how ineffective your 10Motives are and how much more you are enjoying your vaping. Keep us posted on your progress, and do ask away if you have any more questions - we are here to help you, and have all been where you are now at one stage Andy Sounds like the Riva kit needs saving up for!!!! need more juice next week but hopefully within 10 days..........

Well currently deciding between Ego CE4 and Riva 1100 - both 1100mah batteries (that's good yes?). both good reputations? Ego nearly £5 cheaper and includes a small liquid BUT Riva has more kit....... .................

Errrrr well I don`t know - the others suggested in this thread I suppose. 10motives were great for me (but only to start with) - they don't last very long (battery) and don't quite satisfy me - I am vaping almost constantly So .........errr ...........help! - what do I do????? Edit - I only used to smoke about 15 a day The Riva kit is what we recommend to all new vapers so could be a good starting point for you and world above the 10 motives you have now plus it has both cartomisers and clearomisers so you can try both and see which you prefer. Another option if you just want to try a step up on the cheap is these paradisevapeuk.vstore.ca/egoce5-colourful-batery-blister-pack-p-542.html then if you do like it you can buy another pack and have 2 batteries, 2 clearomisers and 2 chargers (1 for spare). They used to have more designs and plain ones but just seems to be these at the moment.

Thank you. I am a bit confused now..... what's the difference between these kits????? Alls I know is 1100 has pretty impressive batteries (or does it?) What kits lymmranger, the riva kit and ? 1100 is a great battery, one should last you all day depending on how much you vape. Errrrr well I don`t know - the others suggested in this thread I suppose. 10motives were great for me (but only to start with) - they don't last very long (battery) and don't quite satisfy me - I am vaping almost constantly So .........errr ...........help! - what do I do?????

The Riva kit is a great starting point, the batteries should last you a day each easily and if you buy the kit from vapeescape you get both cartomisers and clearomisers so you can try both and see which you prefer. Dont forget to get some juice samples at the same time. "vapeescape" is a retailer????

Hi everyone! have lurked for a week or so, been very impressed - so finally joined I gave up smoking the second week in January this year I used and still do the "10motives" system ..... its kept me off the weed..... ........BUT........ terrible battery life and of course I now realise the refills are expensive compared with other options I have started refilling them myself (for the last week) but I have 3 rapidly failing batteries and feel that any future cash should be invested more wisely looking forward to your input - Riva1100 or? ?
