Lightweight tube for Father-in-law

[Johntodd]

Hi. My FIL's doctor said he must quit smoking.

But my FIL is an older man with certain health problems; he needs something lightweight.

But he's been smoking for so long that he also needs something with a good amount of power.

He likes my KBOX with a dripper, but the whole thing is too heavy for him. He can lift it, but it's "work" to do so. (I am not being sarcastic. The guy has just about every health problem there is. OK, that last part was sarcastic )

So I was thinking a regulated tube. My KBOX uses 18650s, so I have experience with them, but what about an 18350 mod? Smaller, lighter, will still dish out the watts, just needs recharging more often. I can charge his batts for him in my charger, that's no problem.

And I'd like to get him a rebuildable tank since I can do coils. Already have 2 Youde Goblins he might like, but I'd like other recommendations, too.

So the criteria is:
1/ Lightweight
2/ Powerful like a KBOX
3/ Rebuildable.

Thanks so much!

My smallest/lightweight 18350 was a Sigelei Z-Max mini, but only goes to 15 watts.
(SweetVapes...30$'s) Also a 1 button/menu, you either love it or hate it LOL, I actually got used to it pretty quick and loved it.

Maybe a I Stick 30W, nice and small (20w and 50w have issues) and long battery life.

As for as rda's, well there are too many, I'm still buying and collecting looking for the one to end all.

I have my Mother (75 yrs old) on 2 I stick 20w (20' are mean not rms )and aspire et-s tanks at 7.5 watts and she also has 3 Innokin VV v3 with the et-s tanks using them at 11watts. She has really bad hands and can't hold on to much either.

Maybe a Nautilus mini paired with either of the above mods would work. Higher ohm/lower watt stuff....make those 700-800mah 18350 batteries last a while if you go Sigelei or other 18350 size mod.

Good luck

An Ego One would work I bet.

What topper can I put on that? I have a couple of Youde Goblins. He could use one on the Ego One? They are dual-coil only.

EDIT: Looking to save money (he's on disability) by buying the Ego One battery only.

Pretty sure you could use those.The diameter is going to be the issue. If money is an issue these might be the way to go.

Thank you all! He's got his heart set on the Kanger Subox kit now.

Any words of advice to help him ease his transition? (Or links to other threads?)

Thanks again!

PS Lowest price on the Subox kit? Got links?

Never tried it, but it looks like the smallest mod.

I also think the Ego one would be a good choice, as it is pipe model as opposed to the Kanger set, and really small.

If he likes the Kanger subbox mini though, perhaps also the soon to be released Kanger Nano set will be a good fit, for example: SUBOX Nano Kit by Kanger (PREORDER) - Vapor Puffs I would get the pink one
I guess it will be smaller/lighter than the Mini set.....

I have an aspire sub ohm mod . the one with the non changeable battery. it's quite light and lasts a long time. the one on the left.
