Is V4L an option for someone without internet access?

[2econd_draft]

So I've got a (much) older friend at work. She's about 65-ish, and smokes like a chimney. I take my VK with me to work every day, and she seems to be pretty interested in trying one for herself. Trouble is, she doesn't have a computer, or any access to the internet. So, what could she get that doesn't use USB? (She thinks the PCC is the best idea ever, but doesn't have a computer to charge it.)

I know that "wall outlet to USB" and "car lighter to USB" chargers are pretty cheap these days, so I could get one of those for her so she can use the PCC.
Any other ways to make life easier for a new vaper without internet access?
What would be a good way for her to order week-to-week?

(This is where Steve comes in and says that he has a printed catalog and a mail order service, right? lol)

oh man. you might wanna email mark and find out if they can take orders by phone?

The xlongs and a wall charger work for me,and she could always use the phone to order.

The only thing I can think of is for her to get a good supply of batteries and a few chargers for them, so she can keep them charged up. I know they don't have a catalog, but maybe she could sneak a peek at someone else's computer to make her choices and call in her orders from that point on?

 

[keyzygirl]

or you could print out the carto page for her!!!so she knows the choices!!

Ah, good plan!

As far as the USB dilemma goes, just get her/have her get one of these. wall outlet to usb converter - Google Product Search

Regarding ordering - you call her a "friend", so couldn't you just order stuff for her whenever she needs it? Obviously get her to pay you beforehand.

I was thinking something more long-term. If I move on to another job, or if she decides to quit or retire, I don't want her without a reliable way of ordering.
I suppose that would work for now, though.

Fair enough, I see what you're saying. Doesn't she know anybody that is a personal friend (not work) that has internet access? I'd find that hard to believe.

I have no doubt that they would be willing to work with her and take phone orders, just email or call mark and ask

Not that I know of. She has no kids, and basically spends all of her time at home, at work, or out shopping.
I suppose I could start her off for the first few months, since I'm making almost weekly orders, anyway.

Mark will definitely take phone orders.

I'm 200% sure they will bend over backwards to take care of her!

There is also the library for internet access... A printout will only be accurate for a little while.

The master list at the flavor rater might be useful as a quasi catalog so if she calls she at least knows what the options to ask for are.

V4L Flavour Rater

Not sure who made it (sorry too much fun over holidays), but I really enujoy that site.

 

[keyzygirl]

I Think its very nice of you to help her,and I agree that she should be able to order on her own.I dont think I would want to ask someone else everytime I wanted a new flavor or batt.Just give her the printout and a card with the # on it and let her make the choice.I think its great of you to point her to V4L.

does she drive? Most public libraries have computers

I have an AC powered 4 port USB hub plugged in next to my bed so I can charge and use the passthru without having my netbook sitting on the nightstand - no computer necessary to use USB. You can get these things at Walmart, Best buy, I think even the grocery stores sell them.
