Here is my question.
I bought one of those 7-11 e-cigs for my girlfriends mother to try. I think this a good e-cig to try for a noob. The only problem is that the carts dont work very well after you have re filled them with juice. It seems it only likes the pre filled carts that come with it. This would be way too expensive for her.
So, I would like to know what others would recommend for a noob. She is older, so I'm sure she wont want to hassle with cart mods and such that I have used for my 510, 4081 and 905. The mods work great, but not for an older person. I would like to get her something that is super easy to use, gets a decent battery life on a charge and gives a decent amount of vapor.
Ease of use is the key here. Maybe something with a cartomizer? I don't really know, so that is why I am asking for help here.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would say a Screwdriver or the Tornado(Totally Wicked)/Ego(Janty). The screwdriver just never lets you down and is easy to use and consistent. Also easy to maintain. The Tornado is great and simple. The only downside is that eventually the battery will wear out and she will have to buy a new one which is the main part of the Tornado. With the screwdriver it takes CR123 rechargeables. Cost anywhere from $5 for 4 (DealExtreme) or $3-$4 from American suppliers.

My 2 cents.

In my opinion, nothing is easier/simpler than direct dripping, unless Grandma rides a Harley or is very active.

I think people want these things to work more like their real cigs...I tried dripping for a bit...Had to carry juice around...it got messy...no thanks...for the least amount of effort...go cartomizer and don't bother refilling...they are cheaper then real cigs anyway.

Cartomizers don't give anywhere near as much vape as a 510 does, and they have this nastly little problem of the burned filling which makes me not exactly recommend them: Burned filling IIIIIIIVV and also several recent discussions. Everybodys personal choice, of course, but I'd think twice.

I'd go with either a 510 or an eGo, which is basically a bigger battery and a neat cone for the 510. I'd also go with a Joye 510, personally, I don't like the clones very much, and there are compatibility problems with the stock batteries, as the original Joye 510s run on 3.1v, and the clones, like most other PVs, on 3.7v.
