Need advice to convert my mother please

[STLJohnny]

I'll be visiting my parents soon and Im going to try and get my mother vaping.
Shes one of those people that will need to see how easy this can be rather than how daunting we all know it can be.
I wanted something VV so I got her a spinner and some evods--I thought anything with a lcd for the VV would turn her away.

I'm asking you guys what will be a quality dripping atty I can get so she can test a good amount of juice.
I'm not much of a dripper myself so I was reviewing the HH357 but like I said would love advice on something that will deliver and easy to sample, clean and repeat.

Any opinions on a different method are welcome as well.

Thanks in advance for the advice!

I dont know about dripping but I would say keep it as simple as you can. Work the kinks out of her spinner/evods so all she has to do is fill and go. (as in make sure they are up and running proper) But it sounds like you know this allready. Good for you, I hope all goes well.

I ended up giving my mom my WC kit and she was using an ego and c4 while she was here and she prefers the WC kit she said. she likes it easy. course I said that at one point too. LOL

if she lived closer to me I bet she'd be more apt to try out the fiddlier things, but 16hrs away is a bit of a haul
I'd suggest letting her try out your existing stuff and then ordering her things based on feedback and shipping to her home. Yes, there will be a delay perhaps, but still better to get something she likes and will use IMHO!

oh, and that being said, spinner and evod is pretty good for a beginner tho. I'd reccomend that to a newbie.....but moms can be...set in their ways sometimes

If it were me I'd get a non VV battery and put either a Kanger Evod or T3 with the 1.8 ohm heads. Bottom feed IMO gives the best vape for the buck. No dry hits or burnt taste for several refills. My parents would not want to mess with calculating voltage or wattage. On the battery go with a 1000mah ego style. They are small and simple to use. One thing to keep in mind that I have learned is the old thing about "you can lead a horse to water but you can't force them to drink". Smokers are by nature defensive about the addiction me included it took me a while to catch on to vaping but after observing friends doing it I had to try it. Thankfully nobody tried to force it down my throat. Not saying you'd do that but I know if someone had done the hard sell on me I would have gone into mule mode and shut them down. LOL


Oh almost forgot. I've found that the bottom feeds need fewer watts to get the same vape I was getting off of carto's and clearo's. Instead of 8 watts I was able to use 6 watts. Which adds up to longer battery life. Also no dry hits of hot hits. I get 3 refills before I have to clean the heads

Very true good advice. I'm going to bring all my gear along with me and let her decide what she likes. Shes a huge purple fan so I got her purple evods and a purple spinner. All the mods and RBAs stay home though. She might just freak out if I whip out a hand torch and some mesh.

Good for you Johnny. My advice is to aim for this: Best results with lowest effort, least confusion and zero pressure. Your choices seem good to me. Just be sure to keep it simple.

This!! I got my dad started by letting him borrow an ego twist a CE5 and Vivi Nova. He tried them out and found they were to fussy for his needs. When he was ready to actually to buy I steered him towards a VV twist style batt, so he can play with voltage when he's comfortable. He also got several EVOD's and loves them. For him they are simple to maintain, easy to fill, and he's had no leaking issues. He love's the setup, but is ready to try some dripping. I am letting him use a Joye 510 atty, but he already has his eye on one of my Cisco Spec LR510 atty's. I'll probably throw it his way once I get a HH357.

For dripping, check out the wyvern or the phoenix clone from DV. It is an RBA, but they're cheap and you can get about 3 of them for the price of an HH357. Add 2 - 3 drops and it's perfect for testing flavors. But you also have the option of adding 10 - 15 drops and vaping for an hour.

I havn't directly converted anyone but I have found that just my enthusiasm about vaping has made quite a few people try it, some successfully.
don't pressure her - show your excitement about vaping make sure she knows that some of us don't drop cigs right away, it is ok to taper off cigs, to vape when you can't smoke, etc.
count the ones you don't smoke, not the ones you do. good luck to her

ps, i know your question was about equipment, but I had to chime in ............
