My GF likes to smoke Hookah. In order to get her away from the harmful chemicals that smoking hookah can cause I suggested trying an e Cig. I was doing a little research and it looks like an eGO CE5 would be a decent substitute since the mouth piece is similar and the clearomizer hold a lot of juice for a decent vape session and without burnt taste some cartomizers produce due to filling burning. I was just wondering if this a good choice model and what supplier are known for making good kits a reliable.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

In my limited experience, I have already come to the conclusion you will end up doing business with multiple vendors. I get my juice from one, my hardware from someone different and some charging components from a third. part of this was to get the best pricing on all of the parts/juices I wanted and partly due to selection. No one place carries everything. This may change if Wal-Mart ever realizes there is money in e-cigs.

You might want to start her off with a high nic juice, maybe 24mg or 36mg. It might make the transition easier. If she finds that it's too high of a dose, she can always cut it with a lower or no nic juice.

For the communal experience, there are some people making eHookahs now, but I'm not sure if they are for sale at this point. And because I have no experience with an eHookah, the above advice may not apply (may be too much nic).

I hate to have to disagree with chefkeith but Hookahs have very low nicotine by nature and starting her off with a 24 or 36 is suicide. First of all, 36mg juice is meant to be used as a mixing agent and is twice as high of nicotine level as any cigarette you can buy. 24mg is good for a pack a day smoker or higher but just for a short time to get them through the withdraws and then they should go to a lower nic juice ASAP. I would recommend starting her off with an E-Hookah. They are a cheap disposable that you can buy online for about $10 and have all the flavor she wants. They are 6mg nicotine and should be fine for a regular Hookah user.

I think she is going to try a 0mg nic level flavors. She is doing it mostly to unwind and get the motion and feeling of using a hookah.
I was looking as some eLiquid suppliers like Juicy Vapor and they sell hookah flavors. My question is it mentions tobacco. is That just the taste of tobacco with flavors or does it actually contain tobacco?

Sorry, but I have to politely disagree. I've never smoked hookah, but 36 mg nicotine is usually suggested to heavy smokers only, as it's pretty strong. For a casual hookah user, 6 mg-12 mg nicotine is more than enough, even 12 mg may be too much.

I also like the kit from MVS, but she may not even need vv batteries; a simple (and less expensive) eGo starter kit might suffice; just add a couple of clearomizers like Kanger T3 and some spare coils, 2.2Ω is a good resistance for casual vaping with 3.3v eGo batteries.

In the drop down menu, you get the option to choose flavor, bottle size and nicotine strength, including 0mg.

Avid hookah user here. Lived off the stuff all through high school.

6mg is definitely enough. I smoked both hookah and cigarettes, but prefer hookah for chill times. 12mg is too much for me for sure - except if im working.

Hookah users are more used to cooler, smoother and denser smoke. I suggest the Kanger Protank: its a bottom coil clearo so it vapes cooler, has lots of air flow so lots of vapor in one pull. For denser vape use higher VG ratio. Say 30PG/70VG. Sometimes it takes 2 exhales for me to breathe out all the vapor from the Protank i rebuilt.

Remember to drink water since vaping is dehydrating.

In retrospect, this is better advice. In my hookah days, we would smoke the stuff until we were dizzy, but I realize this isn't the case for everybody. Sorry for misleading you!

I recommend eVod, but it's your choice of course. ProTank is three times the price of an eVod and isn't even eGo-threaded. It will work though. Just remember that ProTank is wider in diameter than an eGo battery. Here it's shown with an (included) eGo battery sleeve cover:
