Hi,
Recently on my brother's last visit home I gave him one my old Ego-T and some juice since he's been looking for an alternative to smoking. I didn't think he would actually like it that much but he headed back to Taiwan, he's told me that he likes it a lot but is out of juice and only has that that one battery.

He's asked me to buy him maybe 3 more batteries but I have no idea what to buy. My bf usually picks everything out but he's too busy lately to help.

What criteria I need: It has to be super easy, no mods since I'm heard somewhere that Taiwan has banned ecigs so I don't want it to look too conspicuous. I would like it to be able to use the clear tanks, and easy easy to use. I doubt he'll want to do more than just refill the tanks. My bf won't be there to fix or fiddle with anything. I don't want that many parts. I'll probably get the same thing for my mom and she hates anything complicated. My family is the "I just want it to work as simply and easily as possible" types.

I don't want the pre-filled cartomizers. I doubt he'll go through the trouble of refilling those. Plus the problem if he has to reorder I don't know if it'll make it to them.

I would like one passthrough as well for when he's at work (he's gotten the ok from his boss to vape).

My family is travelling back soon and will bring everything to him. I just wonder how much should I buy and if there's anything I need to avoid. I already bought a few 30ml bottles of juice for him but I don't know how long that will last and if I need to does anyone know if I can mail that to him? I only ask because I just don't like china juices. They're kinda gross.

Thanks so much in advance!

I'd suggest an eGo-c kit - the eGo-c is the least maintainance eGo that I've had and I've had them all. The t wasn't bad if you knew all the tricks. The kit will get you two batts (with upgraded charge protection than earlier models) and then get an Joye passthrough - you can get them many places but here's where I'd go:

Get the standard resistance atty in the dropdown.

And you might add a few of these:

If you get ejuice there - no recommendations on that - need more info for flavors etc. but.... ask for a thin tipped bottle - which one can use to fill tanks without removing ithe caps. And on the c's get the hard caps not the soft ones. Hard is the default in the kit.

You can pick up a couple of kits reasonably at LF, I no longer use a passthru (not really recommended for laptops) anymore, and find that a charge will last me 6-8 hours moderate vaping. Each kit comes with 2 batts, the ego w/cartomizers, the Riva with atty & cartridges. I've been using them for some time and have never had any problems, shipping is reasonable and fast, hth! ;)

Smok Tech Ego with cartos for 37.99 through this weekend;
Electronic Cigarette - Starter Kits - Smok Tech EGO

or

Steel Riva 510 - Lite Bundle (have other colors but this is showing as in stock atm) is an option (also 650mah) comes with atty/cartridge, would need to order additional cartomizers for $29.99 (regular price using 20% discount in upper left corner of web page or link; Electronic Cigarette - Starter Kits - Riva 510
