I personally never liked botteomfeeders. I was strictly VV/DCC/Tank. I bought the Vmod XL from Vapage.com last month and have not really touched any of my other stuff since then. This bottomfeeder is comfortable, long-lasting (with 18650) and doesn't leak or give much, if any, problems. With that said, when you buy the Vmod XL you get a 2.2 ohm 510 Hybrid atty and 2.2ohm 510 Silo carto. I'd buy this set-up for my own Mom, given the circumstances. I'd suggest you strongly consider it, as well. Give her the option of either atty/carto she likes and order more. Personally, I like a modified (attached a 510 tube for 510 driptip use) 1.5ohm i06 atty from Ikenvape. It's more forgiving when it gets dry. It'll let you know before you get "scorched".
