Good afternoon everyone!

A little background on myself. Have wanted to cut down on cigarettes for a while due to cost, married, three children so money tight. Been a 20 a day smoker for over 25 years.

I have tried stopping a few times, but patches, gum etc. just don't cut it for me. I stumbled on e-cigarettes last weekend by complete accident and on Sunday 13th November I ordered a starter kit from SKYCig. It arrived Tuesday 15th in the morning. I had no intention of stopping smoking, just to get a pack of regular cigarettes to last three days.

Well, I have not smoked a real cigarette since Tuesday! My wife and kids are delighted, and I'm determined to keep it up!

My problems and questions are these:

I bought the SKYCig simply because I could understand what I was looking at. Battery, screw in top bit (now I understand this to be the cartomizer), smoke. It even came with what looked like a real pack that I could keep in my pocket.

Fantastic.

Then I went to work. I have a good hour and a half drive to work in the morning and again in the evening, due to really heavy traffic.

Problem 1 - Battery Life, more specifically lack of
Problem 2 - I'm easy going through 2 cartomizers a day during the week, today will easily be 3.
Problem 3 - Charging, have to charge the case first, then the batteries, and not very efficient.

I started searching the web and discovered this forum and am in complete awe as to how helpful everyone is. I have been online since the Tandy 1400

Now that I have a little better understanding of the e-cigarette world and vaping I think I have narrowed down what I should have really got in the first place, but would like some advice please.

I think I have narrowed my choice down to these;

• E-Power 510 - 18650 Bundle from Liberty Flights
  

or the

• Riva 510 - Special Edition from Liberty Flights
  

Things I need help deciding;

Need a decent battery, especially because of my long drive.
A base product that I can customize and tailor to my needs.

If you have read this far I really thank you. Willing to listen to any advice. Many thanks in advance.

Andrew.
