...wellllll, after much anticipation, the mailman delivered my 2 Riva 501 kits and some other assorted goodies...I put the bats on to charge and patiently(not) waited...when time was near, I got the goodies out, some joye 2.0 cartos and a couple of EMDCC's, a bottle of USA/14mg joose and syringe...the Joyes took an easy 1ml and the EMDCC's took an honest 4ml when dry...my first ever vape approaches, I hit the button and A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop-a-lop-bop-bop!!!!!!!! my head exploded, my eyes hit the wall and my brains leak out my ears...I had just taken a wayyyyyyyy too massive a hit and paid dearly for it...being the smart fellah I am, I quickly figured the problem out and started developing my "vaping" technique...only one funkarette since 7pm...I think I'm gonna like that!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome Jack . A lot of people , make the same mistake of hitting a pv like a c____ pipe ER ciggy , I mean . And get the same results , you speak of . Low and slow . Easy on the toots .

Welcome to the most enjoyable legal drug addiction/tweaker hobby I've yet heard of... It only gets better bud!

 

[Lisa66]

Excellent, madjack, and welcome! It sounds like you're off to a great start. Just check back in whenever you have any questions or need support.....it really, really helps.

 

[hairball]

Definitely hit that emdcc easy. After a year, I can still make myself sick off of them.

Boge you can hit harder and get a decent .....

Congrats on the new kit. Need help with anything, please ask. Happy vaping.

I hit the button and A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop-a-lop-bop-bop!!!!!!!! my head exploded, my eyes hit the wall and my brains leak out my ears.

That is so funny! Yep, I'm laughing at your pain. Seriously, though... what a great description!

AMEN BROTHER...little toots indeed!!!...it was funny, I had read everything I could for the last two weeks and "thought" I was as ready as could be and had a handle on what to expect..WRONG...I had gotten the "low and slow" deal but not the length of pull, that is what did me in...anyway, I am pretty well getting the hang of it and heading on up over the learning curve...hmmmmm, now where did I bookmark those DIY threads on modding and mixing joose

Going to have to agree with Sophey. That had me laughing out loud. Congrats and welcome to the wonderful world of vaping, madjack.

Congrats Madjack! I got mine yesterday and I am totally thrilled with the Riva. There is little comparision to the Metro I had been vaping. And the charge, wow, fast! Very happy I finally decided on the Riva 510 for my first "real" e cig!! Glad you're happy with yours too!!

 

[Vchick]

WTG Mad on your way to becoming a non-moker! Seriously I spewed coffee on my keyboard reading you describe your first "hit" I've been there too. In fact I just handed over a 510 to a friend and before I could say don't take to big of a hit, her eye's got all big, she coughed and a cloud of vape escaped, and she said "I just did" and we both laughed! Lot's of support here!

Hi.

That's a very very detail description on the 1st vape for you. Definately made me have a smile on my face upon reading your post. Congratz on your 1st vape!!

Congrats! I know exactly how you feel. I bought some 36mg juice a couple of months back, thinking I was S-M-R-T-Smart and could just take shorter drags to get the same TH. Well, it arrived, I filled a carto, and took a big ol' drag, like I would with the normal 24mg stuff I vape, thinking, "Well, it's only 12 more mg."

And then my head exploded into a million meaty gobbets.

When my vision returned (and that part I'm not even kidding about) and I was once again able to process sensory information, I realized that maybe I'd made a bit of a mistake. So I set about mixing it all down with complimentary flavours to get it down to a level where it didn't feel like Chuck Norris was sparring with my head.

I don't order anything that strong anymore.

 

[jericoriver]

Congrats and good luck. All in all it sounds like you are off to a good start.

Congrats and welcome aboard

Mindfield, it's like Animal Kingdom with you.

Funny, that's what my wife says, too.

...it has been 24hrs since I started my great vaping adventure...3r4ml of joose and 4 nasty ol' funkarettes...not too shabby for a 3ppd/40yr smoker
