Glad your Riva arrived - its different isn't it from the lookalikes but oh so good I would phone the Royal Mail - we had problems last year we would not get mail ever on from M - Th and then a pile on Fri and Sat and even then it would include mail sent a week or more before. Came to a head in Aug when I bought a Kindle and date when Amazon said it should be with me at latest came and went and no kindle, so called them and they said call Royal Mail - the even gave me the phone number and if no luck they would resend. Called and explained and was given the sorting offices number ( its half a mile from me). Spoke to someone and asked if there was any parcels there, explaining one was rather expensive Kindle and got told oh no everything is delivered as soon as it arrives. Less than 10 mins later RM van pulls up and out comes a postman with quite a few letters and parcels. He told me that as there was a bit of a shortage of Postmen on my round they had been putting parcels aside to be delivered when it was felt there were enough to make the journey worth while in a van. Of course when I said about my kindle that panicked them a bit so it was decided they had better deliver it and the other things waiting to come to me ( things from USA that I thought were taking a bit longer than usual ). For a while post would turn up as soon as they got it after that but lately they have started getting just a bit lax again, just with letters not packages, so will leave it for a bit but if gets any worse will be calling again. Road I am on is a very long one into the city so they always have plenty of drops along it so there is no excuse for them not to bring them the day they are received. Enjoy your vaping

Liberty flights do them, if you wanted a to put a r4081 carty on your 510 that is. Thanks, had not looked there, as not got round to looking at that site yet for e-liquids....you are getting quite the expert . Well I blush to say I ordered one but being a bit cash short till next week that was all I ordered - I don't do credit and never have so credit card is a prepay one so I can only spend what I have no debt, so only had £3 left on it till next transfer goes on, but if anyone from Liberty Flights is reading this I promise I will be back with a bigger order ( all my orders have been around the £11 - £12 mark for e-liquids), sorry no one is going to make a fortune off me. Adaptor is such a tiny thing I just hope the package doesn't get lost in the post. I must say I have been grateful for the discount codes and free delivery from some places, you are fantastic people offering that. Just had some cherry brandy again after the reg tobacco with gamucci and do you know it even tastes better after it. Craving for analogue has gone, phew. Hubby did say if I really wanted one he was quite happy to pop and and get me a pack as he doesn't want me suffering as he only expected me to cut down not stop. Said thanks but no thanks I refuse to go back. ? Is using lower going to give me less of a hit - I am not sure if its the nicotine or the flavour that is doing it? At moment I am using Med strength which seems to be fine Oh gosh I always seem to be asking more questions, but still not got my head round everything fully yet. OH yes one more question my daughter is off on holiday on Tuesday and usually brings me back plenty of analogues, can she bring e-juice back if she was to see any or would customs make her pay from bringing them back into country. She has said she is willing to have a look for me. She is going to Los Palmas. Thanks everyone.

Right next question where will I find the adaptors - have had a look at a few sites but only seen ones for putting 901 carts on 501s and like nothing about a 4081 thread - help
Also for first time since stopping I actually want a analogue, just hit out of the blue, so no intention of buying any, don't worry, I don't even think its the nicotine its just want an analogue, so using my Gamucci to full myself as I can have a good old drag on it which I cannot on the Riva, not without choking myself anyway. I don't think Gamucci battery cuts out at all, so can suck like mad and its helps, just flattens the battery quicker. I knew there would be times like this and guess I have been lucky not to be hit by this sooner.
Alvoram happy to be your mate, we are both starting this path at same time so great to have a mate to help. Glad you got your Riva, it is different isn't it from the lookalikes but still so enjoyable.

I told you I answer to anything - he/she/it:) Thanks for the info on the adaptor as I still have 24 unused Gamucci cartridges so be great to use them with the Riva, and yes it is the Gamucci Micro - how did you find out the adaptor size, is there a site somewhere that tells you? Oh my cherry brandy arrived today and oh is it nice, first non tobacco flavour I can say I am really enjoying.. Riva first battery still going strong which is fantastic as well. I am totally enjoying this new adventure

Well have spent the evening trying out my different e-liquid and although all nice got to admit as yet none to match the Gamucci regular, guess I still want that tobacco hit, so of course I have to try some more e-liquids in my search don't I - I think I better hide my credit card, oh now that will not help as just ordered from safer cigs and paid by paypal, so better 'lose' my password lol. Just wondering if I could get an adaptor for the Riva so I could use the Gamucci cartomisors on it, will have to explore........ Supposed to be stopping analogues so I can ensure we get to sons wedding in Melbourne in two years time, can't see me saving much money at this rate

It is like magic indeed Need to ask you a big favour Prepareathome, do you mind if we call you Prep/Prepy or any other abbreviation of your name ? Feel free to call me whatever you want, I will answer to anything - mykids call me madmum On another forum they just put PAH - I think it helps get their emotions out on how they feel about me Am still happily vaping away - not had to fill it again since using the condom method, don't think I have ever filled a cartomisor so full.

Am hoping Royal Mail will surprise you and deliver tomorrow - most likely you will be dragged out of bed at 7am or just before to sign for it, fingers crossed

So sorry to hear about your grandma, sending healing thoughts and love. I am most likely to late but just wanted to point out what I used to stop smoking, to me this was just like having a real cigarette from the very first puff.....and I did not want to stop smoking at all. www.prezzybox.com/gamucci-micro-electronic-cigarette.aspxBattery life is not to bad, anything from 2 - 4 hrs depending how often you use it and the regular flavour to me tasted just like tobacco. It does look like a real cigarette, light at end looks like a lit one, and I found prezzybox great if there was a fault at exchanging no problems ( had some faulty cartridges). It comes with a mains charger - you just plug the usb charger into it. Good quality product - I found - and I am glad I went for it. Just don't buy from Gamucci themselves they are dearer and their shipping costs are unbelievable.

You need to put more than 12 drops in your cartomisers to begin with. It's best to fill them initially using what is known as the condom method - Wow its like magic, and got to admit it tastes even better............

Wow, wow, wow................with the Gamucci I have to suck really hard to get a hit, but with the Riva the 4 secs they advise holding the button down is almost, almost to much. Now I am using 18mg juice and boy the hit, head has I admit gone a bit wheeeeeeee ( you know the way you feel when you smoked and you took a drag of that cig you had been dying for and oh boy it was so good - this feels exact same, very, very good) so got to take a break. I think that past two weeks using the same cartomisors over and over they have stopped preforming as well as they should and so my nicotine hit has been slowly cut down.
So rather than get used to the higher level I wonder should I buy some PG on its own to dilute my juices or should I just buy lower strength of the same and mix them, so resulting level will not be as low as the lower one but not as high as the 18.....
Got to admit I love the hit at the back of the throat - am using cherry pipe at moment from Grizwalds pick and miss ( chose that as had not found the cherry brandy yet) but oh its scrumptious.
One thing I don't know which cartomisor I am using as I filled one of each (SR and LR) then put them in box with others and they both look exactly alike, so will have to fill another of each with something else to see which I prefer ( well good excuse to try my new e-juices)
So now I can see how vaping is different from smoking, and boy I like it. This auld gal is I would say a total convert and smoking urg, how did I ever do it.
Jason did put a drip tip in my package but at moment am not using it as I actually like the cartomiser getting warm - most likely as with the Gamucci it had to get really warm to get a good hit.
I am still glad I bought the Gamucci for me it was the perfect e-cig to start wth, as it gave me the full experience of smoking, I did try a disposable I bought in Tescos and that didn't seem the same at all. The hit from the regular cartomisors is good, I still have about 24 unused so will keep them aside for anytime I suddenly get the urge to have a real smoke, as to me there basically is no difference using the Gamucci with them.
If anyone had said to me 3 weeks ago you will not only have given up cigarettes but be totally into vaping I would have laughed and said no way, my e-cig is at most just to help me cut down. I loved smoking, every part of it, and now I love vaping just as much, it all seems to have happened so quickly but I know deep down I will never smoke again so long as I have a Gamucci for any bad days ahead - I still have a couple of disposables as well that I will keep for back up so even if powercuts I have something to use and not tempted to go back to analogues.
Oh yes can anyone tell me if you can charge the riva or any e-cig up in the car - I have a usb charger socket that plugs into cigarette lighter I usually use to charge up mp3 player on long journeys, sadly not enough power to charge blackberry up as well, so not sure if e-cig would get enough power from it. Also have one of those car charger things I keep in case of power cuts and it has a usb socket as well.
Right had put 12 drops into the cartomisor and sadly they are gone, so will try the other one i filled and see what vapour is like, first one I used didn't have to much. On my own I don't mind a lot of vapour but when out and about would rather have less.
Oh such fun I am having......yes a total convert, and if I fall by the way side you all have the right to jump on me.......

Well basically 24hrs to the minute of me ordering my Riva postman delivered it, typical today was one when we were last on his round, some days he is here around 7am but today has to be 2.15pm.
Got to admit its a bit of a culture shock seeing it compared to my Gamucci - size wise and weight wise but still oh how these 8 hrs till I can try it are dragging, will be nearly 11pm before I can, day seems endless.
Gosh so many other places to buy e-liquid from so far I have only bought from
Safercigs; freedomvape ( cherrybandy, oh cannot wait for it to arrive)and vapeescape.
