Liberty-Flights is an ECF listed vendor and extremely reputable. I've bought the Riva 510 for friends and they're very happy with it. The 510 is prolly best because the 510 threads are common fittings. I would also advise using cartomizers- easier and less hassle. Realize 100 mah= 1 hour vaping. The only problem I have is the batts should be at least 950 mah and 1100 mah is even better. As for filling cartos you could buy some XL or Mega cartos= much less filling and you can even fill a couple and take them with you.

I take my spare cartos in a Tic Tac container.


Love the tic tac container idea!

so, if i went with the one i put at the start of the thread, got an adittional battery (1100mAh), extra cartomizers and some fluid, im good to go?

any links as to where i could get XL or mega cartos from? :)

The RIVA is a good battery. The simplest way IMO is cartomizers. They are cheap and disposable. After the first fill, they only need to be topped off maybe 4 or 5 times in a day. Maybe less, it depends how you vape. I've tried everything (almost), I reccomend the Boge 2.0 with the riva.

Vaping with a RIVA and simple cartos is less of a hassle and has less fiddleing involved than smoking. How many times a day did you have to dig out your cigs from pocket or purse, get one out of the pack, find a lighter and get it lit. Yeah, it was routine so you didn't even think about it. This will become routine as well, and you won't need to do it as often.

I'd recommend the RIVA 510 Carto Deluxe kit, with at least another 5-pack of cartomizers. Maybe add a mains plug for the usb charger, too.

Note that you'll have to fill the cartomizers, so I'd also suggest several 5ml bottles with nicotine strengths between 18-36mg, and at least one Vegetable Glycerin (VG) based liquid. The 36mg is STRONG, but can always be cut to a lower strength later.

How to fill a Carto

First, take off the white top of the carto. If you have a syringe,(18ga.) load it with 1ml of liquid and slide the needle down the side of the carto and fill from the bottom . A few more drops from the bottle until the top of the filling starts to look “slushy”. If you don’t have a syringe, just slowly drop drop drop about 30 drops. Let the drops go down the side of the carto, not into the hole in the middle. Every 10 drops or so it may help the flick the carto like you would a thermometer to force the liquid to the bottom of the carto. If you have a drip tip, throw away the white end cap thingy and use the drip tip, otherwise pop the white thingy back in place to vape and then get online and order some pretty drip tips.
I know it may seem complicated, but it really is not

One more thing. Don't vape too long without topping off the carto or you will burn it. You'll get a feel for when you need to top off, but until you do, do it often. If it takes more than 10 drops to get that slushy look on the filler, you may have waited too long.
