Can We Stop Recommending the Subtank/Atlantis to New Vapers Please? IT'S NOTHING LIKE A CIGARETTE

every smoker who I've let try my Provari with kayfun V2+ ... has said dayum, that is some serious smoke :vapor:

then I tell them ... you gotta be serious about quitting smokes ... this thing costs 3 cartons :blink:
My wife smokes Pall Mall Menthol 100's for $32 a carton. Where can I get a Provari and kayfun for $96? Please supply a link. :)

we don't have $32 cartons anywhere here in Toronto ... smokes are $8-11 per pack here

you could try the classies ... probably find a Provari and Kayfun for about $125

I was MtL as a smoker whether it was cigarettes, cigars, or my pipe (yes, I'm a lady that smoked a pipe...it was very nice, though - petite!). Definitely glad I started with an eGo. Wouldn't it be nice if people could actually try the tanks as well as the juices? Juice bar, then tank bar. It would give everyone the feel of vaping and let them decide for themselves what they wanted.

Well... I for one would never recommend such a thing... nor would I recommend any cig-a-like... ever. Not even to someone asking me about cig-a-likes.

Why wouldn't I recommend any tanks or cig-a-likes? Been there. Done that. Have the receipts totaling a whole lot of wasted dollars.

I have an eRoll, which I no longer use, and a half dozen kanger T3S tanks, also no longer used... but I cannot consider them wasted money, because they got me to quit smoking -- not a waste at all!!!

The Caterpillar, the RSBT... THAT was wasted money. Exactly because of the airy vape which demands lung hitting to get anything. And I don't lung hit, because that's not how I smoked, and since I'm doing this in order to not smoke... doubt I'll ever do lung hitting.

That would be used.........not really interested. Sorry about your taxes being so high or whatever is jacking the prices up. You can't get a new Provari by itself here for the price of 6 cartons.

I like your idea. But for small stores, to do that at say $30 per tank, say they sell 15 different tanks, there $450. they have to add on to the price of their tanks or go deeper in the hole. Someone has to pay it. But you bring up a good point, suppliers should supply a free tank to stores for them to demonstrate. Likely help with sales and people to get the vape they are looking for. CHEERS!

It would be an expensive venture if vendors didn't offer 'sample' products like some do for review, but I think the benefits of it would be awesome! The only question would be what to put in them? Do you put flavorless? Tobacco? Mentol? Fruit? Bakery? I still like the idea. I'd totally think about opening a shop that way, but something about working retail again when you own the store scares the crap out of me. lol

I bought my 84 year old mother in law (68 year smoker) a couple of Volt cig a likes with blank cartridges. Filled them with a Vape Wild Tobacco flavor. She hasn't smoked a cigarette in 3 weeks.

This week she asked for 2 more Volts in case she loses or leaves one at home. I think I'm gonna suggest an H-Cigar Copper Nemi in Hybrid Mode w/Tobh & Chuff-Top, hits like a champ. :)

I always recommend two set ups. The part of me with the angel on his shoulder tells people get a nice istick and kanger aerotank. He likes to see new people get good equipment and find people who pick this choice will enjoy entry level vaping safely. Then the guy on the other shoulder gets his say. He recommends an unregulated twin 18650 mod with a .01 ohm coil. He likes to read Darwin Awards and enjoys seeing Natural Selection at work and finds people who pick this option are often the same people who do wheelies on their crotch rockets on crowded highways.

I think I need more coffee...I read that as "people who like to eat wheaties on their crotch rockets..." Wow...

Had a long conversation with my newbie friend this morning, and we decided the Subtank wasn't the best thing for her yet based on which of my RTAs she was more comfortable with. We decided on two Aerotanks for now.

This thread was very timely actually, and I appreciate the comments. The Subtank would suit me better than her.
