    Riva Battery/Charger Incident (pictures)

    Yes, some are reporting 300 charges, but to be fair, I'm sure my husband dropped this one more than once, probably stepped on it, didn't always wipe off the end from juice drips, and possibly didn't even take the time to make sure it was all the way screwed into the charger. I would give it at...

    Riva Battery/Charger Incident (pictures)

    We have a Joye charger and it looks identical to the Riva charger. I think Riva is a solid/safe product even though it's lower priced. I really believe that this whole episode could have been avoided if my husband had just accepted that the battery was failing - it's entirely possible that it...

    Riva Battery/Charger Incident (pictures)

    We've had bad luck with those Riva chargers, but I'm sure they weren't old enough to be from the bad batch because they were from Liberty-Flights in late March 2011. I guess it's probably safer to have the charger short out than having the battery explode :/ Raynen, you should have taken a...

    HELP PLEASE 14500 battery question

    I had a Trustfire WF-188 go bad on one side, plus it was so touchy on the 14500 batteries that if I didn't get the battery pulled up a little, it would show the green light instead of the red. If it was bumped just a little, then it would turn green and they wouldn't be charged. Like others...

    Riva Battery/Charger Incident (pictures)

    Thanks RIMP, I think there's more of a false sense of security with these type of PV batteries. If anyone has a battery that's not acting normal, and you know it's not your charger, quit using it.

    Riva Battery/Charger Incident (pictures)

    My husband has a Riva battery that won't hold much of a charge. We have 3 chargers from 3 Riva kits, so he also tried to charge it on the other chargers. Finally decided the battery was bad. He then put another Riva battery on the last charger he used, went outside, and this is what he found...

    How Many Cigarettes Have NOT Smoke Since Vaping?

    Between my husband and I, almost 6,000 cigarettes haven't been smoked since the day we started vaping. I would like to see a pile of 6,000 cigarettes.

    How brand loyal are you?

    I think people are more loyal to cartomizer and atomizer brands, and often a size such as 510.

    Loving it, BUT-

    Sorry! Then I will tell you that everything you're doing is perfectly normal and not dangerous :) I think you would probably like a system like Volt or Bloog or Vapor4Life, if you want your e-cig to look like a cigarette. If you wouldn't mind a bigger unit, about the size of a Sharpie marker...

    Are you anywhere near this place: Volcano Vapor Cafe It would maybe be fun for you to go in and try different things.

    Should I see a doctor?

    Doctors treat allergic reactions or sensitivities first by eliminating the source if possible. That's what you did, and now you are okay. If you'd like to continue vaping, I would order a 100% VG with menthol only. I would have someone with you when you try it, and have some benadryl on hand...

    Should I see a doctor?

    It sounds as though your immune system is overreacting to something. It could be an allergic reaction to PG or VG or a flavoring. Did you have several flavors and did it happen with all of them? I would think if you are fine when you don't vape, and you're okay with giving it up, then don't...

    vaping 60mg help- and also 'hello' from the newbie

    The mods mentioned in this thread already are the top ones that would work for you. Also, if you are vaping at home and have access to an outlet, maybe a 5v 510 straight passthrough and a 2 amp wall adapter might be the ticket. They aren't very expensive at MadVapes and you might already have a...

    vaping 60mg help- and also 'hello' from the newbie

    Would you be willing to consider that the elusive feeling you're missing might be the effects from carbon monoxide, not nicotine?

    vaping 60mg help- and also 'hello' from the newbie

    Vaping 48+ mg of 1 ml of nicotine is going to cause some arterial constriction. A long term smoker most likely has some narrowing in their arteries. Combine the two and what can you get? I don't care if the OP is a troll, this thread is here and people read it.

    Holy Hell! What if somthing breaks!

    I had my Solio solar charger before I started vaping. I bought it for my son to keep his cell phone charged while camping. If anyone is seriously interested in one, check cell phone shops because I got mine for $20 on a clearance table.

    Holy Hell! What if somthing breaks!

    A "Rite-Size U" aquarium filter cut into pieces to replace the stuff inside cartridges. It was a huge hit when I started vaping, but now it seems that people move on to cartomizers or dripping a lot sooner.
