Hi All..

I got my Riva this morning!.. whooo hoooo.. anyway, when I fired it up it first tasted weird a bit nasty, and the vapor smelt like old wellies..eww.. then I rememeber about primer fluid etc.. so blew out the atty and just puffed through a cart but blowing the vapor straight out without inhaling etc..

(literally just trying to clear off the primer) anyway.. the vapor is smelling much better now and smelling like the ejuice, but the vapor seems to linger for ages just like analogue smoke and sort of drifts slowly around the room.. kinda scary just how much like tobbacco smoke it is (but without the smell etc) I don't mind it, it's quite funky it emulates smoke so well. just wondered if this is normal as my normal as I never noticed it so much with my 510 cigalike..

is this just the mix of the ejuice or do you think may still be some primer oil in there etc?

I don't want to inhale yet until I know all the primer is gone

(but loving the vapor output of the Riva and the feel of it)

Thanks Gordy! and yeah, I'm going to leave it to dry properly.. be interesting to see if it survived the drop as well as the water.. hmm, I cleaned the atty a bit as I worried about vaping any chems that may of been in the mop bucket lol..

interesting like Des says that the electricals can actually survive water.. I guess its the stickier stuff that really messes them up.. hmm

Cheers!

grrr... I dropped my 510 cig type in the mop bucket and there was a bit of water in there..

I fished it out quick as I could and put it on the radiator on low to try and dry it out.. but when I put the battery in the charger it just flashes, and when I draw from it, it lights up but doesn't heat up the atomiser.. (strangely the atomiser still seems to work)

do you think the battery is goosed? should i just bin it?..

Steptoe. man that sounds like hell on earth.. pffT.. I was just thinking about it all this morning and in a way, soo glad I can vape though I still worry about it but I think going through something like that, then having to quit cold turkey on top of it... nooo.. that would just be depressing. Lots of people seem to be fine with lung issues and vaping though as long as they keep it moderated (ish) I guess.. You did well getting through all of that.. sheesh!

Perpetua haha botty soft, I'm going to use that... and yeah, that makes sense and with the info too, eek.. just shows you what tobacco and all those chems actually do to our bodies. eww..

@johanio Yup!, Ive rearanged my room so I have 1 draw just full of "ready to reach" vape paraphenalia... (havnt got a spelling dictionary in there though:S)...pffft

eek, Warlord.. yeah, same here but I never had vats or any of the other surgery, just the aspiration and chest drains.. brrrr....man, sounds like you had a much rougher time with it though eek, sorry!... not pleasant that's for sure.. pfffT.. that's what made me finally quit the analogues I had my last cig in the hospital then when I got out I found it a real struggle to quit (was easy in hospital) not so easy at home.. then I discovered ecig.. still panicked about the whole inhaling thing etc, so did loads of research on it and it seems a lot of people use ecigs for the same reason.. sooooo.. I guess as long as we keep things balanced and don't overdo it.. it will be fine.. hmm., heh, I bet there's probably a few who had spontanious SP's, I met quite a few after I came out of hospital.. and found all kinds of groups etc.. thank god for ecigs:)

And Well Ann:) I value your opinion.. "Noted"...Thank You.. Stay tuned for question 6 lol

Since vaping...

I've noticed my skin feels soft and slightly oily but it looks healthy and feels nice..

1: do you think that's a result of (not smoking analogues, or the oils from the ejuice)? maybe both but my skin looks much better than it ever has.


2: I've gotten quite a bit of ejuice (I wish there was another name for it haha, anyway) in my mouth from overfilling I think, only on my lip and it actually tastes quite nice and sweet etc, but I spit it out.. (will I be ok? ) I guess so as I'm still typing this..


3: does anyone know how quickly the juice is likely to loose is toxicity on the skin, or once you've spilt a bit on your hand etc.. if for example a tiny bit of juice drips onto your hand, then you wipe your hand with a tissue and then stroke your pet etc.. would juice harm your pet, or would it be wise to go and completely wash your hands etc when the slighest bit of ejuice is on it (How strong/toxic) is this stuff?



4: what are the common symptoms of too much nicotene from ecigs, are they likely to match the same symptoms from too much nicotene with analogues?


5: If you just draw the vapor into your mouth, then exhale through your nose (ie, dont do the throat hit) is the vapor still going in your lungs or is it going in but much less sort of thing..


6: Can't remember what 6 was...*might come back to that one*

Thanks
