I have thought about getting a kit for my brother, but am unsure of whether or not it would be a good idea. When I ordered my first kit for myself I ordered one for my husband also. He was not even vaguely interested so I ended up keeping the extra kit for myself. This turned out to be a good idea since I needed the extra batteries. I have since upgraded to the eGo so having so many extra batteries is no longer an issue. The thing is, I would hate to get a kit for my brother and have him have the same reaction my husband did. So what I plan to do is take my original kit, with 4 charged batteries and carts filled with a variety of flavors along with some information about vaping along with me Christmas day. I will let my brother, my nephew, and my mother try out the kits to see if they are interested. If they are I will give them the my old supplies to get them started.
