A VV bottom feeder? I'm trying to help my SIL quit, she needs to quit in the worst way (medical issues) and the eGO she inherited from her mother doesn't cut it. She liked the hit from my LavaTube at 4.0 volts, but doesn't like fussing with cartomizers, or having to refill a lot. I could lend her my LT, but I'm thinking that a VV bottom feeder would work better. Where can I find one? Does it even exist? If not, any suggestions? Budget is limited.

there are a bunch. The VV REO Grand will be out in two days. Boggers Box mods makes a nice wood VV feeder. Redsky - Monkeyy Box - and Old Goat (limited numbers from Old Goat it sounds like). There is also a nice VV top feeder - The VVPV from Notcigs.
There have been three or four REO VV Woodvilles in the classifieds in the last couple of weeks. - And occasionally, a Sgt VV Army tank will pop up in the classifieds.
If you can get one from Old Goat, that will be the least cost. i think he gets fifty bucks for one.

What about a LT with a tank? Mine with a DCT Smoketech tank (with 1.7 Resurrectors) will last me most of the day.
I've emailed Old Goat, I didn't know that he did VV! Something has to give with her. She's already been told that she must quit or she'll be dead in 6 years. She already needs an inhaler daily, early emphysema, and her mother died from COPD last year. I can't stand to watch her doing this to herself. I know it's not easy to quit, but she must. She's been smoking since she was 9 years old, heavily. 
25 years. It has to stop. She wants to stop, but hasn't found that golden ticket yet!
I have a LT (Super Nova) she could use with a tank that holds like 3ml, and I could make do with what I have, if it comes down to it. It's just such a huge unit though! I wish I had bought the Mini!!

Having a large PV is better than being dead.
A friend of mine is a hardcore alcoholic and runs a brewing company. Turns out his liver is ....ed from drinking and he will die if he keeps it up. What'd he do? He quit drinking. It wasn't easy and it's better than dying.
If death doesn't persuade a person, nothing will.

Her biggest problem is that she hasn't found that thing that kills the cravings and provides the throat hit without upkeep. She was telling me about how last summer they went on a trip that involved a 4 hour car ride and the cartomizers needed refilling, which was inconvenient since she was driving. I can understand that. I think a tank might be the ticket there, or a bottom feeder. If she goes through 3ml a day, so what? Refilling once a day isn't that bad!
Maybe it's just me, but if I was told I had medical issues and quitting smoking would prolong my life I'd just quit.
blah, blah, blah smoking will kill you. I know. For this example I can't fathom why this person wouldn't stop.

See the above comments for bottom feeders, but saw how she said that regular ecigs weren't killing the cravings, so you may want to look into WTA (Whole Tobacco Alkoloid) ejuice. Now, I myself was able to quit with just regular ejuice, so I haven't really tried the stuff. Aroma Ejuice sells the stuff, there may be some others out there who do as well. But according to their FAQ (you can check it out on thier site) it can for some people help kill the cravings they get for normal cigarettes that regular ejuice doesn't... Looks like they have a bunch of juices that contain the stuff... $12 for a bottle of juice is worth a try if this finally pushes her over the edge and gets her off the bad stuff...
p.s. (edit) the page i linked is the FAQ for the additives which it says are not in stock, but they do have the juice with WTA already added in stock, just click the link at the top.

Same reason addicts die every day. The logic is easy, the execution is not always for many. I can understand being baffled by it and I can also understand wanting to help your family member from drowning, even if you know they are doing it to themselves.
Many of us have watched family members die of smoking related illness (in my family drinking as well).
Unfortunately you can only help build the bridge, they still have to find a way to cross it.
To the OP, I hope you find something that works for her. Try and get her addicted to the hobby aspect of vaping, that is what really finally pulled me away from analogs.
I do get it. When her mother, my MIL died, I picked up smoking again. Despite having been quit for 1.5 years at that point. Despite knowing smoking was part of why my father died in his early 50's. Despite knowing that even though I helped MIL quit with an eCig some 9 months earlier, that it was too little too late for her since she had COPD but never was diagnosed (figured it out when she was in the hospital, everything fit..I just wish someone had realized it earlier! we would have pushed her more to get help). I still picked them back up like I had never quit. My eGo soon didn't cut it, even when bumping it up to 36 mg juice-which made me feel ill. I felt so ....ty each time I bought a pack, but I kept buying. I mean, it was a small price for sanity, right? I have never been a heavy smoker, so that's not nearly as bad, right?
It's so easy to down play stuff when you're addicted to it. So, I get it. And I want to help her, I don't want to bury her over this. I don't want her gone from our family. She doesn't deserve it, and neither do we. Her children don't deserve it either.
