Help me help my sister L2Vape

[Berylanna]

Hi.

So far I've gotten GreenSmoke, Volts, kGo, and ordered a volt X2 for myself.

I gave the GreenSmoke kit to my sister, who smokes Dunhill non-filters. She can't vape it, it makes her cough! I had no trouble with them except I wanted refillables.

I decided I don't like 510's
-- can't make the cartos stand up
-- voltage too variable to allow me to calculate what resistance to get, unless I get a Twist
-- Boge cartos taste metallic to me (not to my roommate, but she doesn't have as many different kinds of fillings/crowns as I have!)

So *someone* is going to inherit my kGo. Maybe sis.

But...I assume I need to find vg for her? And no way is she going to refill cartos.

So, are there prefilled cartos that fit GreenSmoke? Are there good vg prefilled cartos for the 510?

(Me, I'm going to stick with 808s and Bloog, and probably Prime Vaping)

Thanks for any advice!

Best advice is to get her over refilling carto's. It is not hard at all - drips from a bottle. Pre-filled cartridges offer limited flavors and are expensive. And what will she do if she runs out?

Right now it won't work. She just goes back to nails. I need to teach her to vape before I go there.

I'll order the cartos for her to start with (she's broke) and if she runs out she'll bum a Dunhill from hubby.

I'm also still smoking, but I've cut don 20% so far and expect to cut back a lot more once I get settled. Then, maybe a month or so down the road, work on quitting. The first time I can handle having a vape instead of a smoke with morning coffee, I'll be on my way.

I understand. Taking it step by step is what most of us here have done. Wishing you all of the best!

Im not a fan of cartos (like being able to see my juice level) so I just use the V2 visions on my kgo. Very easy to fill too.

Also on the cough; it could be a PG issue but for me Ive found that I cough sometimes if pull weird. Maybe she just needs to get used to vaping? Dont know if that was of any help.

Yeah, I need to try her on several of my juices before I decide what to get her. It's just that prefilled carts are easy to get for 808's, but I don't want to give her my Volts.

If I prefill cartos for her, how long will they last unrefrigerated? I don't have a way to sterilize and seal them.

I don't want to get her onto anything but cartos to *start* with, too hard for a reluctant beginner with a hyperactive dog and 7 grandchildren.

I would assume they would last a while. I have cartos laying around from my first starter kit and they are just fine. 3 weeks I guess?

Actually that question is a little above my pay grade.

If she's broke, then buying expensive pre-filled cartos seems counter-intuitive to me. I know this is not what you want to hear, but a couple of $5 low resistance clearomizers filled with about 1.8ml of juice each should last her at least an entire day (even if she's a heavy vaper), and maybe 2 days (if she's a lighter vaper). They fit and work perfectly on the KGO. And filling them is about as easy as pouring a teaspoon of cough medicine into a spoon. Seriously.

People tend to fear what they don't understand. If you could get her to fill a clearomizer one time, she would understand how easy it is.

But I understand that everyone is different. I guess I just wanted to quit smoking bad enough that I was willing to learn some new things that would make vaping a success for me.

*I'm* still waiting to fill my first clearomizer (it's on order) and I read that they break down. And I've known my sister for a lot of years. I will almost-certainly get her onto refillable cartos or clearomizers or something eventually, but so far I haven't even gotten her through 2 cartos in 4 months.

So, after I get her through, say, $100 of prefilled cartos (on my dime) I'll prefill some of them again for her and introduce her to clearos if I have verified that we've found a juice that won't make her cough AND won't break a clearo. But, again, hyperactive dog, so I suspect one of those Pyrex tanks might be a better idea. EVERYTHING in her house gets lost, broken, trashed, etc etc.

Coughing could have nothing to do with the e-liquid. It's usually a matter of technique. Once they get the hang of it, they stop coughing. Tell her to open her mouth when she inhales. Also remind her that a strong inhale isn't necessary as we don't absorb the nicotine in our lungs the way we do with cigarettes.
