What an opportunity! Elders enjoy visits and are so often plagued with loneliness. What a great way to visit with something in common!.... sitting down together at the table once a week filling clearos for her while you do.
Trust me, I see enuff of the Bride of Bikenstein's mother:)

Im trying to get my mother to switch totally over to vaping. I make it extremely easy for her. I fill about 3 of the Pyrex Aros for her and when she's done I clean and refill them for her. I did get her a MVP2 cause its easier for her to charge.

The more I get her, the more she'll lose. I'll have to keep it simple. Hope your Mom switches, try buyin her some new flavors

Ow. :) My mother in law has passed, and had passed before we met, so I have no direct experience.

Older folks seem to take to this stuff like a duck to water anyway. My mom and one older cousin did, and neither ever looked back. Both are entirely capable of charging all their own devices, filling their tanks, and using the things with minimal effort.

I do rebuild my mother's Kanger T3 bases for her, but that's pretty rare and pretty fast--she's down to barely using the e-cig any longer.

Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with her. She likes me better than her 2 sons who never see her. I think she can learn to handle a vp, I'd just like to get her the most user friendly setup

Try a cigalike (I like the G6 from Halo) with the refillable cartos. And you can get automatic, which might also be simpler. Everyone I have ever converted has loved Tribeca. If you buy her the blank cartos, you could leave her with a bunch filled. Tanks will likely be too fiddly for her - and too temperamental. She may need a higher nic level in the cartos, though, so you might try her with different levels?

Myself at that age i would just leave her alone,

Well she showed an interest in my wife's pv and tried a couple of tobacco flavors. I guess I could just leave her alone to die from old age. She ain't got cancer so far. I just thought it might improve her quality of life for the remainder of it.

Edna, my mother in law, is 84 and pretty shaky-handed. Wonderin what would be a setup that would be practical for her to fill without soakin herself with juice

I would suggest ..
To Fill an enama bag with Bobas Bounty...and place it a cast iron radiator..
Then play Glen Miller 78 recordings on a victrola

Absolutely! Go over to the Halo forum and talk to all the people who still use the G6 out and about, even if they use the Triton/other mods at home. The key is getting her a juice at the right strength and something she likes - which is why I suggested trying Tribeca. I don't have a G6, incidentally, but I've read so many good things from people who have other mods that if this was my grandmother this is what I would start her on.

Are cigalikes worth a crap though?

I agree that she would benefit from vaping. In a month. In a week. Definately.

And you get to visit.

Maybe fill a few tanks for her and have her use an eGo Twist or two. And then some form of e-cig as backups.

I am new to this and I want a million backups.

Well mitch655 seems to think at her age I'm a little late or something:) I see her quite a bit maybe 4 to 10 days a month, and I think the more the people her age do for themselves, the happier they are and the longer they last
