Hey y'all got another question. So my girlfriend wants to get into vaping to try and help her quit smoking so I figured I'd get some stuff to get her started. Im ordering for her, through FT cuz they've been my go to source till I get my car fixed, an LPG STYLED 18350 MECHANICAL mod and a SUBTANK Nano STYLED Clearomizer, both in pink because that's her favorite color. I already have some juice for her to go with it. I'm just wondering if I can safely run the Purple EFest 18350 700 mAh 10.5A in the MOD with that tank? I don't want to give her anything that wouldn't be safe. I'm keeping the .5 ohm coil head that comes with it for myself and giving her my 1.5ohm that is currently just sitting in a box because she's not ready for sub ohms yet.

you don't want to give her something unsafe....and you start her off with a hybrid mech?? I've vaped for a while and still am on the fence about mechs...and certainly hybrid mechs.....but ok, to each it's own.

Probably this:
$6.87 LPG Styled 18350 Mechanical Mod - stainless steel + brass at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
with this:
$9.81 SUBTANK Nano Styled Clearomizer - 3ml / 0.5ohm (12-25W) at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Make sure the 510 of the SBT nano clone is protruding enough!! I can't tell from the picture....but I'm in doubt

10.5A should be enough for the 1.5ohm coil...but still it's an Efest...I wouldn't want those batteries, they are known for relabeling batts. But they should be safe at 1.5ohm (steamengine.com gives only about 3A drain for 1.5ohmn coil)....

But really: why don't you get a regulated box for her to start with? Much safer till she knows the ropes......

If you want to get her something safe, get her a regulated mod. Mech mods, by comparison, are not safe. If you like the subtank nano, then just go ahead and her the subox nano starter kit. It comes with the Kbox nano regulated mod and the subtank nano. Then get her decent batteries like the LG HG2.

Sorry..you guys are right. Not really sure what I was thinking considering a mech. Wasn't even thinking about the fact that they're unregulated. Haven't really slept good the last few day, saw the pink mod and kinda jumped the gun a little. But that's why I always come here before finalizing anything. Everybody on here is always so helpful and I really appreciate it.

Good to hear! If money is an issue and pink the color of choice, you can always get her a nice pink Istick to go with that tank :)....plenty of choice on fasttech.....or ofcourse the complete Kanger nano kit, but that's a few buck more.....don't forget the XMAS code for 5% off!
Money's almost always an issue for me but I'm probably just gonna wait on getting the beast box that I want so I can get her a decent one to start with.

The initial investment in vaping was a bit of a turn off for me until I did the math and realized that I was spending around $40 per week smoking cigarettes. For 2 weeks worth of cigarettes I was able to buy a great setup, batteries, and some juice.

Best of luck to you and your girl!

it's a decent kit from what I hear, don't have one myself though so can't speak from experience....
Seems there's also quite a bit off rave going on about this new (similar) kit from Innokin:

$25.90 Authentic Innokin Endura T18 1000mAh Starter Kit - 2.5ml / 1.5ohm at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Bit cheaper, battery is a bit bigger, tank is a bit bigger, top filling, innokin is known as a pretty good brand.
Also pretty cheap coils:

$5.71 Authentic Innokin Endura T18 Coil Head (5-Pack) 5-pack - 1.5ohm at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Only one potential issue: it's a pre-order, soon to be released.
edit: I see now that they are in stock in several places both in US and UK for not much more than the FT price...

I don't own one, but check out some reviews for it, it seems most are quite positive.

Thank for the help everyone. I mean I'm not a huge fan of internal batteries, haven't used one since my original ego twist awhile back, but everyone is different so I think I'm gonna give this one a try and see how she likes it
$27.73 Authentic Joyetech eGo ONE Mini 850mAh Rechargeable Starter Kit (eGo One Mini, 850mAh, Pink) at m.FastTech.com

Reasonable choice for a beginner. Enough quality in design to deliver the type of vape to help a smoker transition. Enough built in safety features to protect the user.

I got the wife the Kanger Subox Nano. She fell in love with it.
