Got my kit today

[Violy]

I got all the things I ordered today. After about an hour I think we got the Riva put together properly. (lol).

It tastes very strong. We got 24mg e juice, and I'm almost scared we might "over do it".

How much vaping is too much? I don't want to get sick.

Riva usually comes with low resistance atomizers - like 2.0 or 2.2 ohm? Is that what you have? Those are hotter than atomizers that are 2.8-3.2 ohms. Heat increases hit. You could try a standard resistance 2.8 to 3.2 ohm 510 threaded atomizer or Boge 510 standard resistance cartomizers (I use the cartomizers for juices I like). Later, if you lower your nic or have juices with some VG in them, you might appreciate those hotter atomizers.

New atomizers often have strong tasting/smelling primer on them. You can blow out the atomizer into a tissue. * Drip a bit of juice on the atty (3-4 drops) let that soak in and vape it mostly off without inhaling. Blow the atty out and again and repeat from *. Then Blow out again and re-prime with juice and the primer should be mostly gone.

The juices sold by hardware companies are often 100% PG Chinese juices. 100% PG juices let through the most flavor but also the most of nicotine's TH and irritation. Go to real juice vendors and get some juices with some VG in them. 50/50 and 70PG/30VG are good ratios for atomizers. For cartomizers I get longer good performance with 80pg/20VG whichis a bit thinner than 70PG/30VG. (because VG is thicker)

You could also try 16-18mg juices, especially in thinner high PG juices that let through hit better. You won't have a nic fit - just take a couple of extra drags and it will make up the difference.

Thank you for the quick reply.. The juice I filled it with was from BWB.. I think they are 30/70.

I wasn't worried so much about niccing.. but overdoing it and getting a headache or just really sick in general... How often per hour am I suposed to vape? How many drags? ect.

Thanks<333

Even if we knew what you smoked and how many per day, the best anyone could do would be a guess. It's all a balancing act, strength of liquid, power of battery/atomizer...we found what satisfied our individual addiction levels when smoking, with a little trial and error the same happens using nicotine liquid as well.

Pay attention to your body. I get very clear signals when I'm overdoing, the first one is an odd (but not exactly unpleasant) cooling sensation in the skin around my eyes. I've never seen anyone else mention this effect. Might be just me. But it's there and ignoring it leads to a slight headache/feeling of pressure in my forehead. Continuing past that point would be asking for real discomfort of some sort, so I put the pv down, drink some water, and it passes fairly quickly.

Your body will warn you, maybe in some totally different way, but it will.

That's my cue to put the ecig down too.

24mg is really high to me. I have the craziest metabolism rate, still 9 stone shoveling enough food into my body that could put a championship winning speed eater to shame after 24 years. I think it has something to do with it. I only vape 8mg or lower on a regular basis which seems like nothing but I can feel the effects if I vape too much. I saw one guy on here was vaping 40mg or something daily and I know for sure I couldn't.

Like everyone said, pay attention to your body. Possibly order in a variety of nic strenghts.

I have two 24mg 5ml bottles of ry4 for just one of those days I need a hard hit to my throat to breathe it out with. All the way down to 0mg for when I'm playing poker and blowing out vapour like a steam engine for a long time.

You'll find what works for you given a few days most likely.

If you start to feel dizzy, light-headed or nauseous, it's definitely time to stop. If you find 24mg is too high, you can:

• order 18mg juice
• order 0mg juice in the same flavor and use that to cut down the strength of your 24 mg juice
• get Propylene Glycol from your pharmacy and use that to dilute your juice. But it will also weaken the flavor.

I vaped my head off at the start. I felt a little anxious and started getting a headache. I slowed down and it passed quickly. Listen to your body. It'll tell ya. Congrats on getting your kit and already knowing about BWB. Good for you!
