Newb .Just got a riva 510 SE and confused .

[swedishfish]

When i get into somthing i really get in to it for some reason . Always been like that for me . Started out with baseball cards when i was a kit ,then bike (rode bmx for a long time) then cars (Got 2 custom cars and now own a car modding business) . NOw PV's i almost feel like a pro in 2 days lol (THanks to you guys/girls of course) . Btw LF cappachino is the vbomb now with the fluvals . Just had it with my coffee and mmmmn . DOnt know if it was solely the fluval or it steeped for a day but its good .Not as strong as when i first got it but more realistic flavor now with hints of butterscotch and caramel.

Btw why does it seem like my battery never dies .

It seems to me that vaping appeals to people that are like this. The type of people that like to tinker and modify things.

Got my boge cartos in and filled it up with some nhale stawberries and cream ,btw this juice is insanely super super delicious .Right now its my daily goto juice for sure . Taste like baskin robbins strawberries and cream ice cream suck on candies exactly . I filled my boges with the condom method . I removed the white mouth cap and I put 25 drops in the bigger condom . Then i slowly push the carto into the condom with the battery side going into the liquid . Made sure to do it real slow so it just barely bubbled out the air hole . Soaked up all of the juice but the top wasnt fully soaked yet so i added 4-5 drops on top around the air hole to fully saturate it . I then took the condom off with no juice left and blew out the air hole . Wasnt much to blow out .I put the white mouth cap back on and screwed it on to the battery . Works great and much more flavor and a much cleaner good tasting vape at that . Carto's FTW . Also i with it being less harsh i could take much bigger pulls and not feel like coughing whatsoever like i did with carts . There is slightly less vapor with the cartos but its not a problem .

One question though . Iv seen people only put in about 15-18 drops of juice in a boge. How is that enough juice ? I put close to 30 drops(1/2-3/4 of the big condom) and it was just about enough . Im sure i could have even got a few more drops in without flooding .

Also im not a expert yet but some tips i can give to newbs is :
1. DOnt bother buying more atty's ,just buy some cartos from the start
2.Use the 2 atties that came with your PV just for dripping and trying out new juices
3. Dont seek cigarette tasting juices because you wont find any and you will like the great tasting flavors more .
4.Carts really are a waste of time since they really always need to be topped off and it does get messy . It also does make for a harsh bad tasting vape compared to cartos even with all the different cart mods .
5.Buy a drip tip or two . Needed for dripping and can even be used with a cartomizer

Let me know your tecniques for filling/refilling carto's ?

Since you have a Riva 510, go to Mad Vapes and get some of the eGo Mega Dual Coil Cartomizers, emdcc for short. You might have to lift the battery center post to get good contact, or get a couple of the shorty 510 extensions. I always put a minimum of 100 drops in a new one, although I have put 120 drops withouth overfilling. Don't get the clear ones, as they tend to crack.

Maybe when im finished with these boge cartos .I bought 4 5packs of them . 120 drops is crazy

Was just looking at different types of mods and it look like i can make most of them with parts i already have in stock. I actually do pcb design and fabrication for a living so i have tons of components like regulators ,caps , resistors etc . I even design my own microcontroller circuits and have a cnc mill and lathe . Looks like i can build my own provari . just need to pick up some pv connectors ha ha . Got plenty 18650's also due to my high power led flashlight hobby . Pv modding should suit me well .

I personally like filling 4-5 carts with different flavors when I am out and about. I used the blue foam and IMO it works decently. At home I mostly drip. My opinion might change as soon as I get my resurrector cartomizers...should be here today . Time to get into my stalking tree...

I have been using the boge cartos and love them . I havent used a cart in a week or so . I bought 20 boge's but so far have refilled the first one like 10 times and still going strong . I find using them with a drip tip makes them much better . Love my rubber drip tips ! I also found my go to daily juice and that would be none other then mrs.t's snickerdoodle . I love it so much . I also love mixing snickerdoodle with nhaler HV strawberries and cream . 6 drops of s&C and 25 drops of snickerdoodle + 5 drops of mrs.t twinkie makes for the best ejuice on earth .
