Hello ECF <3 I hope some of you cigalike pros can help me with this.
My dad has been saying that he has been wanting an ecig for a while. He has been smoking for around 45 years and is crazy stubborn about it. I've let him try my provaris, but he coughs everytime. He just doesn't understand the slow draws no matter how much I explain it. I've emailed him a few times with kits I've thrown together, such as a itaste 3.0 with a protank, for example. He'll look at them and lose interest.
So yesterday, we were spending the day together and ended up stopping by Walgreens. I run in to buy him his pack of Pall Malls, and I see that they have Blu's there. I get him the disposable one for $9.99 (24mg). We go back to his house and have dinner. After dinner I show him the Blu and how it works. He's super interested because it's small and looks just like a cigarette. He also likes that there is no button.
The next two hours consisted of him asking me a ton of questions, him throwing it around the house to see if it will break, me showing him the coils in my Diver and trying my best to explain how the thing works, etc. He didn't have a single cigarette and just kept puffing away on the Blu. He kept saying "no bull...., I think you did it.. I think this will work with the right flavor!"
It wasn't until I got home and started some research that I realized that Blu makes rechargeable cigalikes. I knew there were rechargeable ones out there somewhere and I had told my dad I would find him one.
So here I am. Like many years ago when you all help me, I hope you wonderful people of ECF can help me put together a kit for my father and add some years to his life
He liked:
The size of the Blu
How it had no button and starts working on draw
What I know he needs:
Rechargeable
Refillable!
A battery that is safe. (3 or 4 most likely)
He wants:
He would like a white one if there was an option, and possibly a red LED instead of a blue one. He has it in his mind that it must look like a real cigarette. Color isn't a deal breaker, though.
Something that tastes exactly like Marlboro cigarettes. I would like this from a reputable vendor with safe juice.
If this actually works, I plan on taking him up a step to egos and mini tanks as quickly as possible. It may be months before that happens though. For now, just need to get him off the stinkies as cost efficient as possible. Packs of Pall Malls are very cheap here in NC, at around $3 a pack, so spending a ton of ecigs is hard to swing at this point.
