Im trying to find a good tank for my mom, shes been a pack a day smoker for the last 40 years. Shes tried some sub ohm tanks and hates them, definitely wont go that route. She needs a mouth to lung tank, and i will probably buy her an istick 30. Ive read good stuff about the nautilus and eleaf m something tanks. She needs something fool proof. She will never rebuild coils and needs a tank thats easy to fill and wont leak, something thats extremely user friendly. So does anyone here have alot of experience with above ohm mouth to lung tanks? I was thinking the nautilus but have read some stuff that made me think it wont be the best for her. I want her to get something that performs well so she will have the best experience and chance at quitting smoking. Thanks for the help.

Thats what i was thinking but her hands arent as good as they used to be and she is not very mechanically inclined. Will she be able to fill it and change coils easily? I want her to have the best experience possible so she sticks with it.
And one more thing, ive read nautilus tanks like a thinner liquid, would 70/30 vg to pg work alright or will i need to dilute it a bit?
As l long as you don't over tighten the base the nautilus is pretty trouble free. If she got the full sized one it holds 5ml so would probably last her a full day. The coils just unscrew from the base then you thread in the new one, prime it and you're good to go. I'd just teach her how to prime and fill and it should be good to go.

You can try the Aspire Triton
It has replaceable head 1.8 ohm for mouth to lung vaping
And (it's important) simple top refill system

Another vote for the nautilus. I only used the mini, not the full size, but I imagine they should be pretty similar. It's pretty easy to work with - I never had issues with opening to fill/replace coils. Some of what you read might have been from the original BDC coils, so I think you'd just want to make sure she gets the BV(ertical)C coils. I don't think anywhere would even be selling the original BDC coils anymore, though.
Missed this one before my last post - I used max VG and had no problems, so 70/30 should work perfectly fine.
+ 1 for the Nautilus. I have one and often recommend them to family/friends. Tips and tricks in the below video. (That's not me in the video BTW.)
Volm makes a great point about top fill tanks generally being easier to fill, but not having used one I can't comment on its performance. If you choose this, get the 1.8 ohm coils, not the 0.4 sub-ohm coil for your mother.

Chiming in here as a mom (and grandma, ack!) - I also have zero mechanical ability, no desire to rebuild anything and am a mouth-to-lung tootlepuffer. (I will pause while you all finishing laughing now.....)
For me after 2 years, the istick with an Aspire tank works wonderfully. The coils are easy to replace, the larger ViviNova size holds plenty of juice, the flavors come through nicely. The nautilus was tricky for me as if I let it run a little low I had a terrible time undoing it to refill, that's me with no grip to speak of. The istick stays charged thru almost 2 days of vaping for me and is easy to manage/hold/adjust. I've got some fancier doodads, including a Provari, but for easy-peasy this is the set up that works best for me day to day.
Just my 2 cents worth. And you are a good guy to take care of your mom!!

Aspire Vivi Nova-S BVC | New Aspire vivi nova tank | Bottom Vertical coil - MyFreedomSmokes
I got a friend one of these and an istick 20 and he has never looked back. Easy to fill, easy to change coils. Cheap and they don't break easily. Its a good mouth to lung tank
