Best 2 pc ecig?
Help, I'm a newbie, looking for an e-cig system for my mother, who is elderly. She is a pretty heavy chain smoker, average nicotine content, and needs a VERY simple system. I've been reading forum posts for days on end, but am still feeling stuck. Here's what I'm looking for:
-- 2 piece e-cig or e-cig kit (perhaps comparable to a Joye 801)
-- portable, uses rechargeable batteries
-- if passthrough is available, that's a big plus
-- uses common cartomizer size, so she can switch brands & flavors
-- long lasting cartridge
-- pleasing tobacco TASTE is of major importance (reg, not menthol)
-- will probably add some flavors later like coffee, vanilla, almond
-- vapor amt, throat hit and cost are factors, but are less important
Mainly -- she needs something where she does not have to refill cartridges (as she could spill on herself), and where she can manage the battery situation easily. Also, I am NOT handy enough to do any mods.
I am seeing some good things about the GreenTech cartomizers, incl good taste, but am not sure exactly which e-cig these would work with. Does anybody know for sure?
Have also considered getting a Joye 801, and adding a cartomizer adapter. Does this seem like a good solution?
All advice will be greatly appreciated! Please include the best source to purchase both the e-cig system and esp. the cartomizers.
THANKS!
Joanna

I to am a new ecig user. I ordered my first from Blu. I went off cigarettes completely the day they arrive (two weeks ago). I re-ordered, they are back ordered...so I ordered the joy801 on Tuesday and they were shipped out yesterday. I'm praying I will get them this Sat. (probably not). I still have a few cartridges left...but I can't get any vapor out of them. Do I need a new atomizer this quickly? Do I still get nicotine without the vapor? Any info. you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

No nicotine without vapor, since the juice needs to evaporate, and then be inhaled.

I've tried many .. and you get what you pay for. The best two-piece is the GreenCig G300, a kind of Rolls-Royce with prices to match. You can see them here: Home
A search of Google will turn up retailers in the U.S. if you're interested in this high-ticket item.

From my short experience and research, alot of these requirements are subjective and depend on the "user". Things like "long lasting cartridge", "vapor amount", "throat hit", and "pleasing tobacco taste", may qualify with one model and user, but not qualify with the same model but a different user.
The route I'm taking is to do as much research as I can take (but honestly, there is some negative feedback attached to every option), and then choose 2 or 3 to try. Many of the vendors offer a 30 day Money Back Guarantee so if one of them doesn't work for me, I can (hopefully) send it back.
It seems like the 510 gets alot of great feedback, and I'm liking my Red Dragon although the customer service is not as responsive as I'd like.......but these are based on my personal perceptions and preferences.
I know that's probably not very helpful, but many people have asked these types of questions before you, and it doesn't look like anybody can really give a hard n fast recommendation, because different things work for different people and we all have our own perceptions.

Go manual. It's simpler. No learning curve on starting battery, drawing so you don't get juice in the mouth, no cutoff, no 'timeout'; more vapor, better flavor for most juices.
