Best tank for someone with poor eyesight?

[Junquemail Contessa]

When I upgraded, I gave my dad my 2 Ego C Twists 1000mah along with 2 Protank 2's. I also bought him a Marlboro-like tobacco flavor which he loves and purchased the syringe tip to guide him while filling the tanks. I sat with him and showed him how to charge the battery, fill the liquid and change out the wicks.
I stopped by a couple of times afterwards and he was smoking analogs. He enjoys vaping and is using it more as a method to not smoke as much. So...I didn't ask about his smoking until the second time and he admitted he couldn't see the opening on the tank to fill it.
I have no problem stopping by his house a couple of times a week to keep him filled, but was hoping there may be a tank out there easier to fill just in case. He can see, but not good enough read fine print, but can read large print. He is extremely far sighted. I thought the Protanks would be the easiest for him, but they are not easy enough. Any recommendations would be appreciated, as I think he would use his PV's more if he was a little more confident about being able to fill them himself.

Heavy duty reading glasses or a magnifying glass with a head band, maybe? There are several hands-free magnifying options out there. I'm actually look for one myself.

Most tanks and/or their openings are pretty small, really.

Most gear is a max 22 or 23mm in diameter, not big at all. Second on the magnifier. Good luck and have fun!

Have a look at the PuriTank.
It is a little wider than the Protank, works with Kanger Protank heads and the refill-area opens wide and clear.
May be perfect for your dad.

Where I live Office Max has a wide selection of these, with lights also.

I just bought a lighted 20x magnifying jeweler's loupe off ebay pretty cheap.

Vivi Nova - whole top removes. No small hole to work in and worry about hitting the center tube.
Top, centered wick with cap and tiny pipe will act as an umbrella of sorts.

I agree with getting a magnifier. Also, to me, filling a 6 ml bottle for a REO is much easier than either a ProTank or carto tank. Swapping prefilled bottles out is even easier. Here's an example:

Slapping my forehead with my hand...why couldn't I think of that.
That is a brilliant idea! They have them at Hobby Lobby and I have the 40% off coupon on my phone. Thank you so much. This will not only help him with his tanks but so many other things. I may get him two of them.

As much as I love my dad and would do anything for the guy....if I ever got a REO in my hands I wouldn't be able to part with it .... ever.
