Hi Lovely people, you're all as helpful as ever. Many thanks
Im using freedomvape virginia at the moment. That's the only one I've tried. I'm looking to buy some more now so wanted a bit of advice before I went for it.
Really I'd like something that has as little odour as poss. The nearer to a smoking experience the better although I would like to try some of the flavoursome recipes too.
As for the amaretto, Strangley enough I am only really trying it now. I'm not sure what I think TBH, it doesn't have much of a smell which is good. Taste wise it is fairly subtle although a little "chemically"
I know these things can never tatse fully authentic and I am definately more than happy so far, I just wanted a bit of advice before I purchase more liquid.
cheers

Hello again all.
My dropping in with an update, so the good news is I'm still not smoking and love the riva. Really happy with it. I was poorly for quite a few weeks (dreadful virus!) so didnt use it that much to being with.
Using it much more now as I expected which I'm pleased because I'm using it to address any cravings and not missing fags at all.
I am still using the tobacco eliquid I bought at the beginning. I enjoy it, but it has a slightly unusual flowery smell. Some people like it, others don't. Is this generally the type of smell you get with liquids?
Do all eliquids have a similar odour?

A few questions people....
I am half filling the smokymiser's , making sure the small bung is in properly and using a cotton bud to dry out the top , however I am getting a little leakage in my mouth. Is this normal?
I have noticed that it happens worse if I draw on it without leaving my finger pressed on the button for a few moments. Am I trying to draw through liquid without vapour by doing so?
Also one of the misers seems to leak at the bottom end? I am guessing this is just a fault because the other ones haven't done it or could I have done anything wrong?

Ok so it's all arrived, how good is Kevin!!
First impressions are good, nice throat hit from riva with the lr miser thingamybobs. Using 12mg Virginia which is great. Slightly strange taste to get used to.
I'm going to try the amaretto liquid in a minute.

Hi chrissie - yep I'm from Torquay. Born and bread. I live here with my wife and three kiddies but I actually work as a nurse in central London so I stay in south London during the week.
All changing soon though when I start a new job in Torquay. Won't miss the travelling!
I see you're from Cornwall, what part?

Hi all
Emailed Kevin and sorted it all out. It's all been sent tonight and he expects it to arrive tomorrow (rm willing!)
Great service from him and very very helpful.
Can't wait now.
Colliwobbles - it is my team, not the one you think though, its Torquay united, technically we're the gulls really but gulls / seagulls what's the difference!!

Hey you lovely lot, I was just going to sleep and thought I'd have a quick look, great info from all of you. Many many thanks.
I'll read through properly in the morning but the riva certainly looks good. Also does the drip tip just get used to make it feel better or is it for refilling? I was a little confused ?
I leave to go back to work in London on Monday, if I order from
Where you've recommended would it arrive by Monday do you think?
One final question..... Is there anywhere in London that you can go and buy ecigs / liquid etc?
Cheers jamie

Hello all, I have a question that I'm sure you lovely people could help me with. I've been a smoker for 25+ years and have stopped on a number of occasions over the years. Often for long periods.
I have never been a big believer in nicotine withdrawal being as bad as the big companies who make millions selling their nrt products would like us to believe. That's said it does exist and maybe I'm one of those who seems to find stopping relatively easy - but like any "addict" I find "staying stopped" much more difficult.
Previously I have lapsed when out with friends or stressed etc. you guys know the deal.
Anyway, 9 days ago I got sick and couldn't smoke ( didn't want to) I haven't wanted a cig since and still don't, but I know I will soon and really think the ecig could be the way forward for me.
My question is; do I need nicotine to get a throat hit? Given the choice I'd rather be nicotine free ( although in grand scheme of things I recognise nicotine isnt that bad)
I want the throat hit more than anything and would be using tobacco flavour juice. I don't want to start using zero nicotine and then get nothing off it only to go back to fags. But also I don't want to go back to nicotine unless I need it for a hit.
Have others tried zero nicotine and do you get a hit?
I am keen to get up and going and I'm going to order in next day. Feel great bing a non smoker and I think ecigs would be the safety net I'm looking for.
Many thanks to all of you who take time to reply.
Ps: any recommendations re which ecig to use as well as any advice where I may be able to buy one in person in devon south west area would be greatly appreciated
Many thanks
Jamie
