Cannot believe I have had my Riva 9 days now, it feels like I have had it forever. Just a bit disappointed I cannot seem to find an adaptor to use Gamucci cartomisers with it, but its not a big problem when I fancy the taste of them I just use the Gamucci, as batteries still give me 2 hrs power.

I have found when I do get a big craving for a nastie I will grab the Gamucci rather than my Riva and it satisfies me.

This weekend I wasn't sure I wouldn't fall as hubby is away ( went Friday) and also would have been my Mum's birthday yesterday and yes I did want a nastie quite often but never bad enough to go an actually buy any. I am using the Gamucci less and less, not every day now and the Riva battery is lasting me just over 3 days with me filling up the carto once a day with 18mg ( some 12-18mg) e-liquid. Yesterday and today I have only vaped Gold and Silver its just hitting the right spot . I find I sit and hold the riva in my hand a lot far more than actually using it.

I have found I vape different e-liquids depending how I feel and now have a nice collection ( all 5m/ /10ml bottles - 11 different flavours and just bought one 30ml bottle of Gold and Silver. So far only bottle I have actually finished was a 5mg of Vanilla Tabac.

It seems almost every day my tastebuds are changing and what seems just right one day doesn't the next.

I did get some VG only - Home Counties and it is nice but a bit to much vapour for me.

From this week I am actually ahead money wise so money that would have gone on nasties is going to be saved Apart from maybe a SD keyring for out and about when I want something that can be kept out of sight I and some more juices as I need them I don't seem me wanting to spend a lot on kit. The LT and other things are to big for me, but of course early days I might end up an ardent vaper yet. Just wished I had found vaping sooner as Dad who died last summer was an electronic engineer and when we cleared out his home we gave away so many voltage meters and lots of things that would have done for modding. There was so much we were able to outfit two electronic depts at two different universities. He would have enjoyed building the perfect mod.

I just wish I had found you all sooner as I would have saved the money I spent on gamucci cartomisers and would have been ahead sooner. They are £6 for 3 and I used 2 a day before my Riva and never knew about reusing them. Those makers must be making hand over fist when you think how much e-liquid really costs.

I think I prefer LR cartomisers rather than SR cartomisers but got myself totally muddled over which I used when I enjoyed vaping more - at moment I am using an LR and its fine, but will have to try another SR to be sure. I have just been reaching for a new cartomisor ( before realising I should try out new liquids on atomiser) and totally muddled them up. The problem each one has had a different liquid in it so need to put say my G&S into an SR as well so can really compare.

So one very happy oldie here, who says you cannot teach an old dog new tricks

Welcome dancing queen, I am only a recent convert - had my Riva all of 9 days but adore it

Hi Dean, welcome ....I just realised I have been using the riva a week and a day, how time flies and its been great ( used lookalike first couple of weeks but battery going every couple of hours drove me nuts). Hoping you find it as easy as I did, good luck

Can only presume measuring tape is wrong - not happy it cost £5 as checked again and still 5cm.....me thinks tape measure will be going back as need a precise one, only got it other day......glad I found out before I used it to measure and cut.

Oh Jason thanks order - now happy

My Riva measures 10.5cm from bottom of battery to where you screw in carto etc., and is just a tad under 5cm in diameter. Mine is the Riva 1100 kit from Jason ( vapeescape). Sorry not for sale as only new and working well, and long may it do so

Don't know if its the sore gums but at the moment my taste buds are playing up and everything tastes urg apart from one juice - Liqua original smoke juice, tobacco flavour. Even my favourite vanilla tabac tastes urg at moment. Can't say what flavour the Liqua tabacco flavour actually tastes like but its doing the job, keeping me happy with vaping and that is what counts. Got new juices today including the cherry cola which I am dying to try but think I would be better to leave it a few days until my taste buds sort themselves out.

Past few days I have found if I fill up a cartomiser that is lasting me all day without topping up and battery is lasting me about 3 days now, where it was only lasting two days before.

I got my atomiser and empty cartridges from Jason today so will use them in future to try out new juice instead of ruining a cartomiser. He also kindly added another drip tip so that makes two I have now
