Granny needs a vaper

[Bikenstein]

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. She almost doesn't smoke anyway (Misty light 100's) so I think she could switch fairly easily. She goes to sleep with a lit cig sometimes and leaves em lit everywhere. Do they make a jitterbug clearo?Any suggestions on an ecig she might could handle?

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

I have a few senior converts that can't fill on their own so I fill a number of cartos and cap them up. Usually enuff for 2 weeks.

I would think something like a vivi nova would be easiest and you can also get a needle top for the juice bottles to make it double easy

Would you say the version 1 or 2 would be better for her?

An Ego style battery and EVOD atomizer with replaceable heads is a pretty easy way to go.

I have a family history of Parkinson's, and have exhibited the early symptoms for a couple of years now ...

Also struggle sometimes with filling small tanks, so I try to do it when my hands are steady ...

I have noticed that nicotine intake does have the effect of diminishing the tremors, so I fill tanks and do other PV maintenance while vaping ...

Ma Kodiak used to do all that dangerous stuff. I finally had to take 'em away from her and conduct "supervised" sessions. It was rough until the dementia kicked in and she forgot she smoked.

Maybe disposables? Blu's perhaps? I know it's a pricey solution but you can just screw a couple of carts on those things for her and leave 'em. If she really is a light smoker they should last long enough. Had I known about these options earlier I'd have done this with my mother.

Have you considered pre-filled cartos?

I have a friend that is suffering from terminal brain cancer. =(
Anyway I kept her on White Cloud Flings (cheapest most reliable disposables) for
awhile until she decided she wanted to smoke. Her daughters are making sure she
is safe about the smoking, and I can't say I blame her. But she used to put the
pv down and forget where it was so that's why we went with disposables.

Thought about disposables but heard so many negatives. I never tried them but have had several people tell me they are no where comparable to tanks plus she has low income and costs me quite a bit. Those cigs she smokes are on the high side

If these are the cheapest, doin the numbers, they appear to cost about half of the price of her cigs. I think I'll have to get her a pv with a good lanyard and diy her tobacco

It might be an expensive choice, but a box mod sounds like a good choice. You can hold a whole drip bottle of juice in some of them, and seems very much like a non-messy experience overall that could suit her.
And of course, considering how light her cigarettes are, keep in mind the nic juices should also be relatively low, like 6 mg. Or dilute a 6mg liquid with some clear zero nic glycerin to lower the strength (you might have to do this before giving her the setup)

 

[Bikenstein]

That sounds good but I think it would scare her off Probably a good choice down the road

 

[MorpheusPA]

Can she reliably handle the button on a manual? This might be a case where an automatic is the best choice, and a cheaper one if she's forgetful and tends to leave things lying around (not really an age thing, I do that at 45).

 

[CreepyLady]

Either honestly. The idea is that its a really large space - so it will be forgiving with unsteady hands, both versions offer that. I would say for performance - I prefer the original version with the long wicks.

 

[Bikenstein]

I was thinkin the original so she wouldn't have to tip it to prevent dry hits. I think this one might be good because of the large opening. Thanx

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 and charging batteries for her while you do. I would buy 5 or 6 Ego styles with the largest capacity clearos or less if you can visit more often than once a week.

She tried a T3S with no problem and a unitank. (not really an age thing) That's why I have 8 pv's already

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.
