Shamreez, I'll be reading your future posts with interest, as I too would like to stop being a nicotine addict. My plan is to spend a month or so with the high nicotine juice, then go to medium, then low, and then maybe like yourself, get off it all together; the nicotine.
I enjoy vaping; I really seem to like the fruity ones; so I would still like to do it, but without the compulsion to have the nicotine.
We'll see though, I'm not in any hurry right now, and it would be great if you could keep us updated with your experience?
Thanks,
Tosh

Thanks, Chrissy, particularly with regards the Riva battery. I wasn't going to use it until it was charged, because I didn't know if it would damage the battery or not.
So that's great to know; I'm using it now!

Actually, happiness is about following a spiritual path that involves letting go of stuff. Letting go of fear, anxiety, old (unhealthy) ideas, jealousy, anger, resentment, selfishness and self-centredness. And once all that is gone, what you're left with is true happiness. But, of course, I'll still got shed loads of the above, so until then, happiness is being able to vape at my desk, instead of smoking round the back, by the bins. Verey; where do you buy your gear in bulk from?

Well, thanks for the help everyone; I stalked the postman and got most of my goodies.
I received the following:
Riva Pass Through 30 ml Golden Virginia (not yet tried) 30 ml Coconut (lovely) 10 ml Green Apple (lovely) 10 ml Lemon (okay) 1 x Drip Tip (I wish I purchased more than one; since I think I will prefer this way of vaping). Some other odds and ends I thought I may need like small bottles and a syringe.
The pass through is not working properly because I think I didn't purchase the correct mains adapter. So I'll order a powered USB hub which was recommended to me earlier.
My Riva is on charge (it says 8 hours for the first charge, followed by 20 mins use, followed by another charge for an hour), so my small 510 beginners vape pack will have to suffice till then.
In all, I'm very pleased and a big thanks to you all for all the advice you've given.
Thanks!
Regards,
Tosh

Okay, here's my two-cents: As an active alcoholic I suffered from high stress levels which broke me out in eczema. I could go to bed, scratch in my sleep, and when I woke up (aka regained consciousness) my sheets could be covered in blood. I was like a scabby old dog. When I stopped drinking and did a few things, such as implement a daily meditation practise (which I swear by), my stress levels lowered and funnily enough my scabbiness is now non-existent. Meditation can definitely help with stress and sleeping problems, and meditation is scientifically proven (with brain scans 'n' stuff) to have many psychological and physical benefits. A simple search on Google will show that loads of scientific studies have been done on mediation, and some with extremely surprising results. When they can measure something; such as the benefits of meditation; it stops being 'airy fairy nonsense' and enters into the realm of science; and it has done. Have any of you guys ever considered meditation? There need be no religious overtones linked to meditation (though I do it as part of a two year structured Buddhist foundation course (but I'm not very 'Boodhist' )). Honestly, meditation can solve a lot of problems that we create ourselves; even if that does sound a bit weird.

Yep, I agree with Magicma, very clever; I wouldn't have a clue how to do that, Scylla.
But here's something sad; we've got a few birds nesting around my house/garden. We've blue tits and a starling that have nested in the same place three-or-four-years running. The blue tits nest behind some tiles on the wall, and the starlings nest in my ground floor soffits (which annoys Wor Lass since she wants me to replace the rotting wood), but this year we had a pair of magpies nest in one of the large cherry trees in the garden.
Anyway, it's all quiet there this morning - those magpies usually make a right racket - and there's a dead magpie chick on the grass where it's fallen out of the nest.
It's a shame; we almost consider these birds as 'pets'. But with regards the blue tits and starlings, each year we find at least one dead chick/fledgling somewhere around the area of their nests; and one year my dog grabbed and killed a tit fledgling he found underneath a trailer. We were cross (at ourselves) and just keep him out of the back garden when we suspect it's close to 'fledgling time'.
Nature certainly isn't kind.

is it really easy to fill them (i have no spatial awareness at all) I found the potcheen doesn't help either. I love the Irish! Where are you from Irish Queen? I have links with those strange Presbyterians in the 'Narth' (Carrickfergus; I was married there to a crazy Ulster woman - though admittedly it was my own behaviour that drove her that way - but I don't drink potcheen anymore ). I can't really help with a recommendation since I'm new and hopefully all my gear arrives today; fingers crossed, touch wood, I'll be holding onto my lucky underwear and not stepping on cracks in the pavement. I just thought I'd bid you an 'ello!

Sometimes a rat can get trapped and die behind the wooden units on the floor; and due to the design of the cupboards, without removing them, you can't see anything, but the smell escapes. Does it smell like something has died and is putrefying? Is the smell worsening as the animal becomes further corrupted?

Come On - Where are the masses of name suggestions ? I looked for a synonym of 'Vapour' and found Miasma. I think Miasma is a pretty good name, though it means 'Bad Air', but that looks like a 'Mean Machine', so maybe it's appropriate? Or Viasma, and call it the 'V' for short? Ignore me, I'm a Geordie!

Thanks, I've just ordered two. I saw a review of the Ego-T on youtube and it looked good, so if this is similar; spot on.

What happened, roach? I saw a review on the Ego-T and it looked like a good bit of kit.
Did it leak?
