Need e-cig recommendation for friend's dad

[Strigoi]

a friend of mine hit me up and his g/f wants to get her dad an e-cig for christmas. he currently smokes about a pack of Newports a day and i'm guessing will want it to look like a cigarette and be as easy as possible to use.

i was thinking maybe an Ego?

i started on a regular 510 but don't know if that would really be the best thing out there for him. i'm sure it would be nice for him to have a PCC as well.

as for pre-filled carts, what would be good for someone that smokes Newports?

TIA

I would go with a Joye EGO that is what I have now and it is great..

Riva at Liberty Flights are $29.99. This is the best deal out there and for the price you cant beat it. Most placed sell these kits for twice that amount. Its pretty much the same thing as an ego but it has a higher battery life. This is a no brainer, you cant lose.

Honestly, if he's PAD smoker he may not be happy with batteries he has to charge every couple of hours. I second the eGo kit.

My next question is have you let him try your 510? It's great that his daughter wants him to quit, but does HE want to quit? I'd find a way to introduce him to vaping and see if he likes it first. Just my humble opinion....

You are right! The eGO kit is definitely the way to go..........

I agree!

Also the easiest way for n00bs I believe would be a 2 piece set up. I wish i started with a 2 piece kit. But with these egos/riva being so cheap.. why not get one and throw cartos on it. these things were $80 when I started just 6 months ago.

i've never met him and really just have stuff for my Chuck now. from what her boyfriend told me, he had lung cancer and still kept smoking, so i don't think he wants to quit. it sounds like she just wants to have him at least try it and see if it is something he'll consider. i'm probably going to see her at a party this weekend so i'll try to get some more info from her then. i'd at least like to have a couple in mind to show her then though.

i do have some TV knock off manual 510 batteries somewhere. i might be able to throw something together for her to let him try. the big issue is the flavors i currently have and it would also be a blue foam cart. i think i might have one un-used 510 carto left over as well since i ended up not liking them.

since she wants to do this for christmas, there's still plenty of time to get more info and let her see the options.

her boyfriend just mentioned this to me today on another board we both post on so this thread was mainly just for ideas at this point. you guys know as much as i do about this whole deal now.

Some people are adamant they want something cig sized, and the 808 is the only one worth it in that range because it has the best battery life, however for something bigger then the riva / eGo is the way to go.
