is this a Riva? really fancy a puff daddy but not sure if my Riva is the correct ecig for this. Or would a puff diddy (love the name ) be a better choice. I like the tanks, less faffing about! TIA

In all honesty I have not lost my craving for a cig ( how could I after 35 yrs) but I have certain juices I turn to .. ( thanks to Griz's advice ) that give me enough pleasure not to want a cig . I do hope in time that the cravings will go away but for now vaping is helping me immensely , as you new vapers will see from my sig it's been almost a year .. it's not easy but vaping has helped me thus far. From 40 a day for almost 15 years to zero in the space of 2 weeks .. something is working . I think you have done really well, its really encouraging when I see posts like yours, despite still getting odd cravings you have kept with your vaping. I do think there are 2 kinds of smokers; habitual and addicts (sounds awful that). I enjoyed the hand to mouth, blowing smoke rings kind of smoker and of the 10-15 I smoked a day probably only enjoyed 2 of them, so me vaping is ideal as I still get all the things I enjoyed as a smoker, without the harm. Those who where addicted to the taste and cigarettes in general can adapt to using an ecig but probably always will have moments where they feel really "need" a proper cigarette. I can hand on heart say, ive been stopped one whole month this Saturday after 29 years of smoking, that not once even on a night out been tempted or craved a cigarette. I think too if you get into the mentality of " I don't smoke, I vape" it helps. The only thing that annoys me is those who are totally ignorant to what an ecig, take my mother in law (please! ) she says im still smoking as she sees "smoke" and no matter what I say to her she doesn't want to hear. I now get lectures on "when are you going to quit these things?" my reply "never love!"

Try a couple of dry burns on the atomiser. Connnect it to the battery with no juice and blast it a couple of times. If that doesnt work pop the atomiser in a plastic bag and leave it in the freezer for 24 hours. I have also read that soaking the atomiser in ionised water that has been heated in a microwave until hot also helps. I've only tried this out on one atomiser and the freezer option seemed to work best. I will try the freezer thing thanks. Its been a better vaping day today, fingers crossed it will stay that way! thanks everybody xx

[quote author=josieanna I don't do a Marzipan juice at the moment but as your not the first to ask I may look into making one in the new year. Let me know if you do, I will definitely get some

Ive just tried a cart I filled a few days ago, your whiskey cream as it happens! and topped it up at the top with a syringe seems to be working better, no burnt taste but its not as yummy as normal. I think you both have a point. Funny I tried some horseradish on a butty before and it tasted strange, so I threw the pot out. now I am thinking my tastebuds are kicking in. BTW Griz do you do a marzipan flavour ejuice? thanks both of you, your replies make sense!

Do you think? is this normal then?
I suppose my taste buds are starting to wake up, after 29 years! its nearly a month so I suppose that could be the reason. Hope it gets back to normal I was enjoying my vaping. tomorrows another day I suppose, thanks Chrissie

All day my vape has tasted burnt; its horrible. Ive changed tanks, carts etc and still I get the horrible burnt taste. Ive blown down it, added a few drops of ejuice on the connecting part and still it tastes crap! Suppose its normal to have bad days but how frustrating not even a decent plume of cloud, its a bad day > Any tips on how not to throw my riva through the window?

Hi Red, Well done for converting. Ive gone a month this Saturday myself, your doing brilliant! I like the sweet ejuices myself but I love vape escapes Rhubarb, peachy menthol and a mango one; they taste like the real thing and fruit is good for you My local landlord was really good about me vaping, so I had no problem. Vaped (sneakily) on the train too! if you hold it a bit longer in, hardly any vape comes out or blow it down your shirt you will be fine!

Hi Shezzie, just wanted to add i was getting a bit of a sore throat probably been vaping the same time as you on the very same Riva! I have the cartamiser and find putting a few drops of VG (boots sell it in the cough section 89p) on the whatsamacallit you know where you put your ejuice reduces it a lot plus you get a huge plume of vapour too!

ha ha yeah I think of you when browsing in the Ejuice sweetie shop! caramel cream is becoming a strong favorite now I am even going to try my own ejuice making, got some chocolate and cherry which is way too strong, thinking of mixing them with some VG and caramel (its against the law i think not to have caramel!) and see what happens! ha ha! who'd have thought I can have all the sweet stuff I like without the calories...heaven!

bakewell tart my favorite, I gotta have a go at this mixing malarkey! aiming for zero nicotine by next week. Gonna have a lookie in sainsburys tomorrow for some peppermint (oil and sugar free yeah?)as I have some chocolate in high *jesus its strong!* so need to dilute it down a lot. I got some glycerine, I get the boots 89p I ahem put a drop mixed in my hair conditioner makes hair shine nice (good tip for the ladies!) and when you say distilled water do you mean deionised is this the same? like what you put in cars? ive some of that knocking about, ive no vodka though but some apple sours would that do?
