My husband and myself are now on day 4, no more cigarettes! I have had our Riva 510's since last April, using them as a cut down, and finally we made the decision to stop! I can't say enough great things about it! The difference is amazing. I have read alot here and alot of it was helpful. Thank you!

Welcome, Kitty! vaping is an excellent transition from tobacco. You will find all the info you need to make vaping the method of choice here.

Check out the library for background info on most of the hardware and techniques available. The "Wonderful World of vaping".

I have read so much, we started out with the njoy's, not to long after that I ordered the Riva 510 and Knock on wood, they are still going strong, I really enjoy the boges! I wish I would have joined sooner.

Welcome to the community. The Boges are great on Ego/riva style batteries.

If your mileage equals mine, you will find that the Riva batts don't last quite as long on a charge as the eGo batts. That's because the Riva is unregulated and starts at 3.7v and dies slowly toward around 3.2v or so before flashing. While it's in the upper range, you get higher wattage for a given atty.

The eGo batts (except the 1100mah model) are pulse width regulated to 3.4v until just about cuttoff. You get the same current draw from charge to cutoff, hence more vaping time.

Welcome! I'm new too! Just ordered my e-power yesterday and hopefully will be a non smoker soon!

Congratulations! Good choices (IMO at least)... I started on a smaller PV and quickly moved to a Riva 510 too. More recently I've ventured into DIY (mixing my own juices). It's a fun hobby (and saves a good amount of money).

Welcome & congrats on the decision to improving your lives. It's great when a husband & wife team up. You got built in moral support.

My only advise is make sure you have plenty of extra cartos or atties/carts & plenty of juice around. If you got a kit each, you should be OK for batteries. What I'm saying is don't let running out of something set you back to analogs. Keep up the good work.

I'm 4 months in after 45 + years of smoking with no back slides. 4 months ago, I'd have said "impossible." Have spares!

Congratulations to both of you!

The beauty is that we all learn and pass it on to others!
