AIO for 66 y/o stroke survivor? (my mum)

[Doffy]

my mum dual uses, with aspire pods (both nauti and breeze 2)

she has had more luck with these than anything else. But they suck

please don't recommend auto fire pods, her lungs aren't strong enough to work them Her hands are pretty weak, from stroke. The button placement on the aspires works for her. The pico 75watt doesn't

needs to be disposable pods. Adding coils does her head in. She thinks they are batteries, and only asks me to change them when they completely stop working

no, even if you say that, still no changing coils or auto fire, thank you

something custom/bespoke would be nice. Happy to do facebook dances etc if need be

preferably pods will last a few weeks of moderate use

thanks

ETA, also has emphysema

sorry I don't really use pods... but *Bumps* the thread for you
the new z biip from innokin might work well, but it's not disposable... has a large fire button on the side so should be easy enough to press

Since your mom likes the button placement of the Breeze 2 and Nautilus AIO, maybe the Innokin EQs would work. It's the new version of the original EQ (which is still a nice pod system BTW). The fill system on the pods is probably the easiest as you just twist the base and fill. Plus, the pods have real good longevity. I've changed one on the original EQ and I've had it since it came out. Using the first pod that came with the EQs and it is still going strong after a couple weeks of semi regular use. It is a MTL system with a tighter draw if that matters.

I would recommend the Orion but the button placement is different as it is on the side. Plus, the pods seem to be inconsistent in terms of longevity. I've had some last for a couple weeks and others not make it a week on the same setting. Also, the drip tips on those seem to break easily which is annoying as all heck. They do sell customized drip tips though which would add a little bling while providing a reliable drip tip.

thank you!

I'd say the minifit (I have a few) because : it is cheap, it is very small (the size of a flash drive), it is refillable and IF you have the patience you can replace wick and/or coil. Pods are pretty cheap too.

thanks brew

and yes, mum is conscious of being ladylike lol. So small is good, i think

Yet another +1 for the minifit - as long as your Mum has no problems with the the (very) small size, it's excellent. It has a nice clicky fire button that's easy to find. The vape is fairly gentle - around 7 watts.

Minifit next to a flash drive

 

[Doffy]

I didn't realise that they had so many fans

Thanks

@Doffy, There is another pod system from Justfog, the C601 $21.70 Authentic JUSTFOG C601 650mAh Pod System Starter Kit - 1.7ml / 1.6ohm / PC + rubber at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
It has a slightly larger pod and almost double mAh (650) but it is larger.

 

[Doffy]

My sister just got an aspire pockeX. Wondering if the commonality would be a bonus?

 

[My Batt Hurts]

The pockex seems quite popular. I think it has a fairly loose draw - restricted DL, maybe? I don't think the coils are compatible with the Breeze or the Nautilus, but they'll work in a Nautilus X.

I had to dig up one of my Nautilus AIOs and give it another try. @Doffy, if your mom likes the draw on that, she'll get along just fine with the Minifit. I found the draw a bit loose on the Nautilus AIO even with the af almost shut and then the flavor was so-so. The Minifit, I blocked one of the af holes and we're getting along just fine. The pods last a good while (depending on the juice) and are easy to refill. I usually carry two of them along with a couple of extra pods with different flavor juices. The pods come with a nice silicone cover so they're not messy....as long as you don't leave them in the car in the summer (don't ask how I found that out). The C601s are a bit airier but not airy enough for DL (maaaybe a rstricted DL) but can be altered for a more DL-ish draw.
Best wishes to you and your mom, please say "G-day" to the folks on the aussie forum from me, I'll pop in there again when things settle down for me.
