Thanks again Chrissie and Jason - okay, the Riva kit sounds good ![;D](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/uKg77DgrQpkBFJJN7U0P.gif) As for liquids I guess I'll start with Royal and Shade as recommended and then take it from there, I guess 10ml bottles would be sensible whilst I'm sampling - how many puffs does that size typically give? If anyone has any other recommendations please fire away - I'm at the stage where every bit of advice is of value (coz I'm pretty clueless lol) ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/30yfTjP3QPippj7hX3wK.gif) VE Jason, I'll put in an order later today I guess, will give it a few hours before I do though just in case there's more advice and recommendations, particularly with regards the liquid. Seems like this e-smoking business is gonna become a bit of a hobby lol! ![;D](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/uKg77DgrQpkBFJJN7U0P.gif)

VE Jason, thanks for that. Okay, I'll look at liquid as well - can you recommend anything that will mimick the taste of a light tobacco like Golden Virginia? Also on the juice issue do I have to get any extra kit to fill up the e-ciggy or would that all be supplied with the 2 you recommend? With regards the Riva and Ego what are the advantages/disadvantages of each? BTW I had to look at the e-cigarette Wiki to understand your last couple of sentences lol ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Thanks for moving the post Chrissie - for anyone puzzled by the Groupon reference I'm referring above to the deal mentioned in the New Groupon deal thread here. Thanks for the welcome deesigner and VE Jason; yes deesigner the E-Lite seems to do the job and so far and the battery has been fine, I'm still on my first cartridge with 4 more to go so I guess the kit will last me for a good few days yet which will give me time to consider options and start to understand how it all works - I hope as you say I'll be an expert soon ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/30yfTjP3QPippj7hX3wK.gif) Now, back to some of Chrissie's comments earlier: Yes there are much better e-cigs than the super-mini you have. The one we tend to recommend to most folks is the Riva/ego, but as you are a relatively light smoker, I'm wondering if a mini like a 510 or DSE901 would suffice you? Only problem with the mini's is that you wouldn't be able to use LR (Lower Resistance) atomises with them - they give a much better throat hit than standard atomisers. A good combination of throat hit and taste would be best I think, I'm kinda used to this with the rollies and it would be nice to replicate that as much as possible. Interesting thread indeed and what an array of options, I can see I'm going to have to think a bit about the best kit to get but any and all advise you guys can give would be appreciated, are you also able to recommend good online retailers? Sorry in advance if this is a dumb question but I'm presuming the best option is to buy liquid separately and explore those options once I've settled on some good kit rather than looking for pre filled?

Hi Chrissie, thanks for the welcome and useful advice ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/30yfTjP3QPippj7hX3wK.gif) No problem moving the post to a new thread although some of my comments are referring to posts here in this thread so you might have to edit it so it makes sense ... although I'm used to making no sense at all in the real world so what the hell ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) I'll take a look at the thread you recommend right away, thanks again ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/30yfTjP3QPippj7hX3wK.gif)

Hi there, this is my first post here ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/30yfTjP3QPippj7hX3wK.gif) I'm here as a direct result of the Groupon deal so I guess the folk commenting that it can only be a good thing above are right although it'd be nice to think more people found their way here as a result of the deal too. I bought the E-Lites and immediately went into 'geek mode' and started looking around the net for more info and eventually found this forum which has been a mine of information, not all of which I've got my head round yet I have t admit. I've had the E-Lites since Friday and have had one "analog" (is that what you guys call 'em?) since then, more in order to ease myself away from them than because I was desperate for one (I was having a drink at the time though). I'm not a massively heavy smoker, around 10 roll ups (Golden Virginia with filters) a day, so I don't reckon I'll save masses of money but I'm keen to cut them out so I can get fitter and healthier. Like many I've read about the usual medically approved cessation methods (gum, patches etc.) proved useless for me so I'm hoping e-cigs are the real deal! The E-Lites are okay and seem to be doing the job but I am aware (now I've read a bit) that there are better options so I'd be interested if anyone has any recommendations as to what kit I look into getting, particularly given I've been a roll up rather than a 'straight' smoker (different taste etc.). I'd also love something that has a smaller end (is there a technical term) to put in my mouth and is maybe lighter than the E-Lites. Anyway, great forum but wow there does seem to be a lot to learn!
