Hello everyone. I feel like I've read every thread so I thought it was time to bite the bullet, order something, and register on this lovely and super informative site.

I ordered the Riva 510 lite bundle from Liberty Flights using the 20% discount I read about here. (thanks so much) I also ordered 6 various flavored 5ml liquids. Did I do good? Will I have everything I need when it arrives? I'm sick of this yo yo crap with analogs. Heh, look at me knowing the lingo already. :2cool:

I realize from reading threads here, I will eventually order much more but is this good for my first kit?

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes time to read my overly excited first post.

Yep - good job!

Don't be discouraged if some of those starter juices are eh. There are lots of great US juice mixers with hundreds of flavors and lots of really good ones.

I recommend you buy the cheap 510 precut blue foam stuffing at strictlyejuice.com to use when the white stuffing in your carts gets old and cranky. And if you want to try some cartomizers, the Boge 510 soft-caps are good ones (and with Riva you could use standard or the hotter low resistance ones). For cartomizers you may need to leave the cone off or use a 510 extender (Madvapes) to life the carto above the cone.

My Riva 510 was delivered today! After scouring youtube for instructional videos, I have it assembled, charged, and filled. I am vaping up a storm!

I still have a couple of questions. Should I pre-fill the carts so they can age or whatever? Can I switch out full carts to try out the other flavors I have or do I need to use it all first? I'm sure these seem like foolish questions and I will look back and laugh at myself, but right now I just don't want to mess up my pretty new Riva. It's pink btw. lol

Thanks in advance for indulging me and my totally newb questions.

I bought several bottles of juice. 2 VG menthol/tobacco blend, 2 PG menthol/tobacco, 1 lemon (I know it sounds weird but I LOVE lemon), and 1 coffee. All are 5 ml bottles and all are 14 mg. I wasn't sure if I would like VG or PG better so I thought it would be best to try both and order my favorite next time.

So I should buy more atomizers so I can try the different flavors without waiting? Or do they just wear out after a while?

At a minimum, they get nasty and need to be cleaned and that usually means some downtime. Eventually they do wear out, I'm new enough that hasn't happened to me yet, unless the one I cleaned last night is gone. You might need to get stronger juice to start. From my reading on here, that can be very much an individual thing. I wouldn't say 14 is a bad choice. If you find yourself really craving an analog, that's probably why.
