With the disclaimer that sweeping generalizations about gender are dangerous - i.e., "All men love football and steak." No they don't - I would tend to pick something stylish and not cumbersome for a new female vaper. Pen-style PVs offer a compromise between the familiar look/feel of a cig-alike and the higher performance of a mod. So, in that category, a Kanger E-smart might be a good choice; it's very sleek-looking and comfortable to hold, the clearomizers are excellent and you can buy them in 510 or 808 threading.
 
I got some suggestions from friends (most who don't vape/smoke though) and they all liked the eCab style. So, I will be getting them each a Joytech eCab and an eGo mini. The general though was that they will be more willing to use it if it's easier to take around and not so "complicated".

What do you guys think about the eCab? No one seemed to suggest this one in the post.

Some people are resistant to trying a fat model first. If you decide to get a slim model then for something decent and fairly foolproof I recommend Smokeless Image Volt manuals (or Bloog manuals is the same model) - manual because easier to get a good drag, harder to kill with juice leaks. Almost every more powerful model and mod is manual because it works better and is harder to damage, as well as generally safer (wind and vibration can't turn on manuals). I like Smokeless Image's Volt and Bloog manual batteries that are around 300mAh though as a newb I briefly preferred the shorter batteries (decided the charge of the short ones doesn't last long enough). Between Bloog and Smokeless Image there are a number of sample packs of cartomizers (can also use the standard V4L.com cartomizers andf their sample packs of cartos for trying flavors). The cartomizers can be kept damp with eliquid to get a week or more use out of each. If a cartomizer is allowed to get too low on liquid, it will singe and taste bad, like lighting a cigarette filter.

Tip: a simple flavor eliquid like Vanilla can be used to top off fruit and dessert flavor cartomizers, and a plain tobacco eliquid can be used to top off any tobacco flavor (as well as fruit flavors and dessert flavors for a flavored tobacco mix).

These are regulated 3.6v batteries w/ KR808D-1 threading. Nice and strong for a slim model and available in lots of colors. I am not a pink person but I do like the darker pink Raspberry-like colors of these batteries. I use a drip tip as a mouthpiece in place of the cartomizer endcap - that way I can easily pull it out to see if the top of the cartomizer's stuffing looks dry, can add liquid (with carto off the battery) etc.

Issues: You sort of need to know if each of them smokes regular or menthol cigarettes and the strength of the cigarettes they smoke (full strength, lights, ultra-lights each have different amounts of nicotine and therefore throat hit)

ok sorry...usually i'd read an entire thread before posting...but today I really seem to be short attention span :)

so only fastly read half of what was posted on first page :p

and yep I hate pink...

I'd say either stick with a black or white pv (something variable voltage) or if you know their favorite colors find a pv in their fav color and a matching tank or two (like an evod and vivi nova) and then a juice in their favorite fruit flavor or candy flavor or something to that effect.
