Had some fun over the weekend with the smokymizer cartridges, having decided to try and fill one with the low strength menthol juice Id got. So - just to give you all a laugh - thought Id share it;
First thing I noticed with the juice was that it seemed to be a bit juicier than the other. So much so that when I tried to drip it in to the cartridge via the syringe needle which I was nimbly trying to hold in the correction position whilst tilted at a slight angle (having not acquired a proper syringe) the needle simply got blocked and nothing would come out. I therefore tried to drip it direct in to the hole itself and found myself squeezing the juice bottle to such an extent that the head decided to come off and half the contents went all over the place including half of my keyboard! The next 20 mins or so was then spent prizing the keys off my keyboard (once Id cleaned it off all my hands) to that I could soak up/clean the juice that had flowed underneath. Once I'd finished that I then discovered that the cartrdige hadnt managed to capture any of the juice that had conveniently flowed everywhere else - so I still had an empty cartridge. With my good lady on her way to the chemists I got her to pick me a syringe up. Having waited for her return, armed with 2 syringes I then found that the tiny syringe needle wouldnt fit on the end - doh! Once I'd kicked the cat in sheer frustration (actually I didnt as we dont have one, but if we did then believe me it would have been) I did the sensible thing and watched the video on filling up by use of the condomn method - once Id filtered through all the youtube videos that werent really applicable to what I was trying to do. I then finally managed to fill up the cartridge with the juice along with half my fingers. The satisfaction that it had not beaten me was great, but not so great when I saw the tiny volume of juice that I had left in the bottle - doh!
Im not too sure whether the juice should of been of such thickness to be honest - or whether Ive just got a bad batch. The other 2 bottles I have are a lot of thinner, and as a result are a lot easier to fill with.
Oh and thanks to the links to the dehydration and health info - very useful. Ive also noticed that last night and today I seem to have a very rapid pulse and feel very anxious. Now this may be either due to me not having had a fag since last week (actually thats a lie - I did have one over the weekend, but only smoked half as it tased rather foul and no where near as nice as a vape), or it may be due to me vaping excessively? Whilst we were watching the epic Titanic movie last night which we'd recorded a few weeks ago, I found myself vaping somewhat easily and quite often. With there being no constraint as to how often or how long you can vape, is there an actual rule or suggestion towards this? Obviously with a fag you have until its gone, ie 5 - 10 mins or so and then wait until your next one. But with vaping you could potentially vape for ages. Do people tend to vape the same periods as they did whilst smoking, or do you find that you may have a single vape or so every 5/10 mins? Its a strange feeling being able to pick it up whenever and as often as you want - not too sure whether I may have been overdoing it somewhat!

Had a strange night last night following my vaping - awoke with a really dry mouth, throat, etc - but with a really clear nose (a clear nose? cant remember that feeling!). Am assuming its a combination of no fags and plenty vaping!
Anyway theres still a couple of points Im still not clear on to be honest. First, the cartridge. When you fill one up how long should it then last? Im assuming its ok to 'top it up', but am not too sure as to how many times I should do this. Would it be right to say use a cartridge for a day, and then replace with a new one - or should I be able to get more shelf life out it - 2, 3 days? Or am I completely wrong and should I be throwing them after each use (would be suprised if this was the case, but cant be too sure).
I also went to fill up a smokerizer cartomiser this morning - which I understand lasts a lot longer than a normal cartridge. However I quickly realised that if I were to simply try and fill it up by 'dripping' in to the tiny hole under the black rubber bung it'd take ages! Presumably there are easier methods?
Oh and in the Riva kit there was a charger box which was empty - but there was a seperate plug with a USB adapter. Presumably this was in place of the empty charger box - would this sound correct? And no worries Jason - just pleased they arrived so pronto. Actually you may well be able to help me with my above queries first hand, so I may well take you up on your offer and pay you a lunch time visit, along with my canon camera. Then again I may just accidentally leave the camera in the office - what'dya reckon?

Hopefully they'll arrive in the next day or so - I'll let you all know how I get on next week.
Cheers Nig
And Scylla, at the Washington Area Frisbee Club we enthuse at the different makes and models of frisbees that we painstakingly design, often admiring the delicate decorations that adorn them. We also exchange hints and tips on what the best throwing methods are, constantly striving to achieve that perfect throw which sails seemlessly and effortlessly for miles in to the horizon - its great on the beaches. Oh and we also stand around smoking and drinking a lot. Trust me, its a riot.

Hi!
I'd love to go through all the threads and check out all the advice but unfortunately due to work commitments I simply dont have the time. So....can anyone please answer me the following 2 questions;
1) Precisely WHAT do I need to purchase, eg model/make, equipment, etc, and 2) Can anyone recommend a UK supplier.
Please bear in mind that a) I am presently smoking approx 15 Berkeley Menthol cigs per day and although dont want to quit, am concerned about the effect its having on my health (hence my eager curiosity to start vaping) and b) I am not concerned on appearance and/or outlay - whatever is considered best will suffice!, oh and c) I would like to stay with menthol
Many thanks in advance for any replies - greatly appreciated!
Cheers Nig
