I will report back. In the meantime I'll be stalking my mailman. lol!!!!! I'm excited to try the riva after all the rave from everyone. I should be getting some new liquid today "I hope" because I want to try some flavors. Thank you all so much
The Riva from LF was my first ecigg purchase. Your gonna LOVE it! (You did get it in black right? Very classy looking with the gold trim!).
You'll be vaping in style now!
Welcome to ECF.

lol... poor Abe is just getting slaughtered this month just because of the New Members forum. 
Steve, you made a great call. I started on an over-priced mall kiosk piece o' junk myself. You're about to see a night and day difference.
Congrats, and be sure to let us know how it goes for you!

Yes I'm pretty sure I got it in black, but then again I was so excited, I was speed clicking so I may have ordered a LEXUS. hahaha!
The main reason I started out with an E-cig that looks like the real thing is I thought many of them looked like crack pipes and was visualizing being pulled over buy the cops driving to work. You can't tell me those things don't look like something from our party days.

I don't know about your party days, but mine involved much less sophisticated equipment
Maybe you got pink? Oh well, at least the models would think it's cute.
Really congrats! You got a great first kit, and you will be AMAZED at the difference.

Funny you should say that mlinky, I almost ordered pink just to be a jokester. I really don't care about color as long as it works for me. Again, I wish I found you guys a few weeks ago.
Steve, we ALL have to start somewhere. The only way you even found this place is because you got that Smoke51 Trio. Same with me. So.....all of our first little (crappy) e-cigs are dear to us. Ha. Most of us spent a small fortune on faulty equipment until we found what works for us. When I moved on, I let my sister try my little Smoke51 Trio.....and it got her off cigs, too. There's a reason/place for all of our "mistakes." LOL I hope you just love your Riva, but then I KNOW you will. It's the workhorse of the vaping world right now. I can't wait to hear how it goes with you once you get it. Hope you got some great juice, too......

I plan on handing down my Smoke51 to someone as well. When people ask me about these funny things I'm smoking I start sounding like a salesman for E-cigs. I have tried pills from my Doc and nothing has worked for me. In my opinion if these work for me, they'll work for anyone. I have already converted one friend and I turned him on to this forum.
You did order juice as well?
Edit: Sorry missed that post where you said you were getting new juice.

Steve, I had smoked for 40+ years and I felt the same way: If these will work for me, they'll work for anybody. In fact, I had pretty much given up trying to quit. I had decided that I'll just have to end up dying sooner or later (probably more sooner than later) of some smoking related disease because I just could NOT quit. Then I got my little Smoke51 Trio....then my Joye 510, and finally my eGos and Rivas.......and voila! I haven't had a cigarette in 6 months and 8 days! (but who's counting....lol) After you've been vaping steadily for a couple of weeks, I suggest you try to puff a cigarette again....you will be amazed. It will taste so nasty that you won't believe you ever smoked them! It's amazing. Good luck. If the juice you have doesn't do it, get some different juice. This CAN work....and quite painlessly and easily. It'll sneak up on you. I just thought I'd "supplement" my habit because cigs were just getting so darned expensive. I really didn't tell myself I was going to quit smoking. But I quit and now I'm so proud of myself. And this tastes sooooo much better. And I can breathe, I can climb stairs, I smell better and my sense of smell is better. I taste things now. I am a walking commercial for these things...I have to really watch myself that I don't just bombard people with the virtues of e-cigs. Ha. I feel like a preacher!
I can't wait to hear back from you after you get your Riva. It's a game changer.

Funny you say this...on another thread last night, I mention that I also got some small batts (and prefer to vape them), because I don't like the looking like I'm sucking on a crack pipe! lol! The Riva really is the best for killing a craving, and they do look sharp. I just prefer to use them at home lol!
Sainted - Yes I got my new liquids yesterday (Black Cherry) (Maple) (RY4) (Bananna) (Apple Pie) I have not tried them all yet. I think I'll have more of an idea if I like them when I get my Riva.... I'm excited as all hell. I just might tackle the mailman tomorrow if he doesn't have it.
JC - I am still smoking a little less than a half pack a day. From what I'm reading, the key is getting the right tools & liquid for me. My Smoke51 is starting to taste like crap and I don't want to clean the atomizer because I only have one. I did just get the STEALTH No7 but it doesn't seem to be as good as the Trio. My Smoke51 really was doing the trick until the burnt taste. Thank you for all your help and advice.
Silhouette - I plan on using the Riva mostly for home, but if it's as good as everyone is telling me I know I won't want to put it down.
Thanks everyone for the support - Steve

Steve, I can't wait to hear how you like the Riva. I'm a little nervous now that we've got your expectations up so high over this thing that it couldn't POSSIBLY be as great as you're expecting it to be. But then I remember back to my little Smoke51 Trio.....and I don't worry any more. LOL It will be great. None of these jobbies are maintenance free or perfect. You will still be troubleshooting and tweeking and fiddling and such, but I'm confident you will be a happy camper. Just don't get your expectations so high that you're not realistic about it. I'd feel horrible. LOL I had a few cigarettes at first....esp. with the Trio..but once I got going on the Riva, I found it really easy to walk away clean. Once you quit totally and haven't had a cig in awhile, THEN when you go back and try one, it'll surprise you how nasty it tastes (I think.) Anyway, good luck and I can't wait to hear. BTW....pretty random....mine is pink.
yeah I understand vaping is not as care free as smoking. It's easy to light up and go, this takes a little work. I starting to like tinkering now... I mean that in a non-dirty way. lol!!!!!! Now I'm thinking I should have ordered the pink unit. hehehe.
On a different not, I'm trying my new liquid. The Maple flavor is so thin it won't vape so I am mixing it with my think Marlboro flaver. It's ok to mix right? I don't wanna blow up or anything

Did ya prime the wick with a drop or two on the attie? I found LF juice (though thin), smoked great.
yeah I always drip. I love that first couple hits. I'm using a Stealth No7 which is a piece of crap...VERY unhappy with it
I can also attest to your thoughts, that it is the right pv/juice, that makes this a success. There is a personal rhythm to it. I lucked out on my first try, with the Riva and LF juice. Quit smoking the day they came in, (could have knocked me over with a feather! I was shocked!!), But then I had some family members, wanting to share my set, and that's when I started craving ciggs. I didn't have a charged pv, always at the ready, and it threw off that certain pattern I needed. Then juice got low, atties failed...
I struggled, got some help here, (ECF ROCKS LIKE THAT!!!), and righted myself again. It's a process. Expect to struggle at times, but hang with it. It's worth it!

It's okay if you think you like Maple Marlboro. LOL It won't hurt anything, but it will definitely change the flavor. Who knows....you may have invented a winner. Ha.
