The riva se runs at a true 3.7 volts. The riva lites are lower volts over the range of the battery charge. I've made it very clear that she should use the riva in conjunction with the boge 2.0 cartos. I even provided a link.

Hey, another crazy nurse!

I had the same problem as you when I first started vaping. I was a deep inhaler when I smoked and I tried to vape the same way I smoked, with huge deep hits. If the ecig can't vaporize the ejuice as fast as you pull, you will pull in juice with the vapor.

One possible solution is to change the way you inhale. Try soft slow even puffs and make them shorter. This didn't really work for me. I'm a freaking hoover and I inhale hard and I couldn't change that. It's just gotten worse since my lungs have healed up and now I need an ecig that can deal with my massive puffs.

Instead of adding more nicotine, you probably need higher voltage and lower resistance for the ecig to keep up with your inhalation style. This will create a warmer and more satisfying vapor and you will stop getting juice in your mouth. Really strong tasting juices with lots of TH can help too. You can pm me if you have questions about any of this.

Good luck to you.

Yeah I have started to realize part of my initial difficulties with a satisfying hit was also due to my technique in addition to my non-LR atty. I was pulling on the thing with my lips and mouth as if it was a smoke and needed oxygen to function (e.g. burn). Obviously, it does not. Now, I hit the button and let a second pass before I even put it to my lips and begin to draw out the vapor and also draw much more slowly just using my breath/lungs and not my face muscles!

Exactly. I was always a quick hitter. A quick, violent puff on my cigarette. With vaping, i've learned to take long, slow, even pulls on my device. Effective vaping is more like smoking a cigar than it is smoking a cigarette. Also, a cigarette gives you an instant nic rush whereas vaping distributes the nicotine in a much more slow, even manner.

Whew...I was holding my breath. Amy, the Riva with Boge 2 ohm cartomizers is an almost foolproof, economical, satisfying set-up. Go get 'em girl!

Learning to slow down is just about one of the hardest of the learning curves I've had with this thing. I was always rushed to smoke a cig...between work, and having a kid I never sat down and relaxed with one and I'm still trying to do that with vaping...It's hard to slow down but I'm working on it!

Thanks! I think my man moahwkx was really looking out for me...and it's good to hear another in agreement!

I hope you've just placed your order. I think you'll see a big difference that using a boge carto makes.

mlinky, who is in agreement has almost 5000 posts, so I'll bet she knows what she's talking about.

Then I go to bed and no longer have any doubts...think I might be able to sleep! yay!

Cool to see general agreement to my post. I thought someone might pipe in and say make sure I don't hold the button too long before drawing vapor as the atty needs some airflow to cool down?
