Hi Anne "smelly socks" is actually FV's Virginia Has sort of grown on me Have not mixed it with the Strawberry yet I'm guessing it may not work well Actually the strawberry smells lovely but as a vape i've started to go off it a bit What works one minute suddenly doesn't the next However this morning i have swapped on to Griz's Menthol Tobac just for a change. Hated menthol nasties so will see how this pans out umm not bad so far Have a cocomel cart with me today as well. Still haven't tried it yet  |

Hi Dean and Welcome As my signature shows i'm fairly new to this as well The info Leftfield has given is top notch. That is the set up i have and so far very pleased with it. Feel free to ask any questions (no matter how trivial they may seem) there's plenty of knowledgeable and friendly people on here to help.  |

The cartomiser (LR) i have currently on my Riva has stopped producing vapour. Probably had somewhere in the region of 120ish draws on it. Does this mean the cartomiser is for the bin or just needs re-juicing. Can someone give me a rough idea of how long they last. I've seen quoted everything from about the equivalent of 8 nasties to two to three weeks.  Thanks |

1-1 tonight. so guess you`re still blowing bubbles! seriously though, its all early days for most of us in here. ive been smoke free for barely a month, and guess im one of the lucky ones. smoked almost 40 years and had`nt really thought about giving up. a couple we play poker with were on e-lites one night, so me and the girlfriend gave it a try..... we couldnt believe how similar it was to real smoking. so we bought some VIP (ciggalikes). they seemed great, and got us both on the vaping route. then i found this bunch of retrobates..... and they introduced me to the riva. so now 20-odd flavours later, a du-bocage (due through postbox anytime soon from portugal) and a mikropipe (couple of days away) (who said vaping was cheaper than smoking?) Anyway, im procrastinating.... is that the right word. just trying to say.... i didnt even think of giving up, but i went from full time smoker to non-smoker almost overnight, and its cost me more money than i ever spent on smellies, but so much more fun. hope i made sense, but been out drinking tonight and just trying to say..... do it your way, no way is the right way..... if you feel you need a fag, have one..... need help? we are all here to encourage you.... oh yeah..... best bit of advice i can give if you want to live longer................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. dont order any cocomel. its horrible. d isgusting. poisonous. ............................... ive got the last 3 gallons!!!!!  Brian was poker that got me into it as well Yeh from what i'm hearing 1-1 was a fair result So me and Colli are still talking to each other i guess |

Ah i see Seems obvious now :-[ 555 will be on my try list Keep seeing mention of RY4 everywhere and how good it is but again it's quite sweet i believe. I think the sweet ones will be quite nice in the evening but i'm looking to get a couple of all day vapes together It just seems weird when people are describing a cigar flavour and finish the description with "lovely sweet taste"  |

Kirsty, ok see what happens with your next batch Excuse my ignorance what's Mary Jane? At the moment i'm vaping a Virginia from FV which has a good throat hit and is not sweet but smells like old socks i may chuck a fruit flavour in with it see if it improves. Feel like Bunsen or Beaker off of the Muppet Show with all these bottles and mixing all i need is a white coat. Tried a key lime earlier and i love Lime but thought i was vaping Pledge  |

Hi kirsty I'm one of those all or nothing Otherwise it would start at a couple a day and that would become 3 etc. I've also been saying i would give up some day for about ten years (so i've had plenty of time to think about it)  That's what i liked about vaping, when i was having a little try the last couple of weeks, i didn't feel like i was giving something up but gaining extra ways of feeding my obvious nicotene habit. The only downsides so far have been trying to find a flavour i like (but then that's half the fun experimenting) and the other thing is people's ignorance towards E-Cigs with phrases such as "you can't use that in here it will encourage people to smoke" and "don't know why you're bothering six months later you'll be smoking again" Just makes me more keen to suceed Like you say though it's the finishing line that's important. However one gets there is not important You still interested in the Bucca i don't want anything for it Trust me that one will not grow on me |

River (even though i don't really like sweet flavours) I have today ordered a bottle of Cocomel from Jason to see what all the hype is about I felt it best to be honest upfront |

Thanks Karma I have no nasties left and i threw the ashtray away last night Like i said earlier eveyone i try just leaves a sweet sickly taste in my mouth. Having said that i just filled a carto with Strawberry Daquiri (of all things) and it's quite nice. Only problem is it was a freebie and only low strength nicotine but not bad. |
