This is so true!
Also the long time smoker will have a higher need to have enough throat hit, vapour, and nic to help keep the monkey off their back. There is always some trial and error involved and one must be willing to change, compromise and/or purchase again on the journey to find what works best for them.
Finding a balance the individual enjoys most.
(or at least "good enough") Cheers.
Yeah, I currently vape at 1.07 and 15 watts. I'm fine with keeping a Styrofoam cup nearby as a spittoon. As a beginner it might have frightened me off. Just looking to help the person off to a comfortable start.
+1 for the The Endura T18- T22. I have the T22 tank (but not the battery) and the draw is very much like a cigarette.
If they are going to get a built-in battery type device, which would be fine, you should get two so they can be recharging one, while using the other.

Lots of good advice here.
Mine as an older foggy myself:
#1. Keep it simple. ego AIO or T-18 with spare coils.
#2. Juice is the important part. Going to need a variety.
#3. Don't buy something that will blow the elderly person's head off. A big subohm tank with clouds is not the best option.

I think the Ego AIO would be the best choice for an elderly person because it's top fill.
From another senior citizen, who smoked for 42+ years, and is currently helping, and has already helped, 6 others who are all 50+ years old, switch to vaping:
1) Most widely accepted/liked start-up set-ups I've hooked them up with have been:
Kanger Evod Double Starter Kit (2 650mAh batteries + 2 Evod tanks + 5 extra coils + Wall charger + charging cord) - Got them on Clearance for $7-13 each
Kanger TopEvod Kit (1 650mAh battery + 1 matching topfill TopTank Evod + 1 1.5ohm coil + 1 USB charging cord) - Got them on Sale for $9.98-11.97
Kanger Evod Mega Kit (1 1900mAh battery + 1 matching tank + 1 Dual Coil @ 1.5ohms + 1 Micro USB cord) - Got them on sale and/or clearance for $8.99-17.99
Eleaf iStick Mini 10W mod + 1 Protank Mini 2 or Protank Mini 3 tank - Got Mini 10W for $18-22 each and PT Mini 2 and 3 tanks on Clearance for $3-$5 each
2) Set them each up with eliquids of their choice in 2 different nic mgs. 1 lower one (usually 6mg) for normal vaping and 1 higher one (usually 12-18mg) to use less frequently...for when the nic cravings get to them.
ALL are loving vaping and some are slowly starting to show interest in adding more complicated, more powerful hardware in addition to still using what they have now.
So, I'd say I agree with start simple with 1 of the above, or similar set-ups that have already been recommended. Also, letting him/her pick their own eliquids will go a long way to helping them make the switch. If they don't really like the eliquids...they won't vape instead of smoking!

I stated out with an EVOD kit and then bought a Protank Mini 2. They were pretty good at the time, but I'm just not sure if they are the best choice now. The Mini Protank 2 in particular, when I soaked it in alcohol to clean it, the finish came right off. Maybe the newer versions are better?
the bottom two of my list are the best ones.. they like I said, have a toptank mini and a toptank nano, coils are easy to replace, easy to fill...and can be sub or above ohm depending on the coils bought.

well my hubby is MtL and he doesn't complain... but it is a bit subjective.
I didn't read all the previous posts. It would be wise to get this person's support for the idea of trying vaping before you present them with equipment. She might turn you down at first and change her mind after some reflection. I wanted to get a brother of mine to try vaping about a month after I successfully made the switch. I talked to him about it first, got his agreement and followed up a couple of times to make sure there was no change of heart. I believe that was important. I did everything possible to take the pressure off. Don't worry about quitting smoking I told him, just vape and see what happens with smoking. (He was a dual user for 10 months but finally stopped smoking. That was two years ago.) It may take some time for her to come around but it's wise to get her agreement.
NO. It's not any good.
You don't need to spend £100. £50 will get you bells and whistles.
I didn't recommend anything with 1.6ml.... (did I....)
In the old days, people vaped 2-3ml a day. These days that's more or less doubled with the doubling of power... and the halving of e-liquid strength.
I use 3.5ml tanks from 9-5 and only fill them once a day. I vape on more enthusiast hardware in the evenings and weekend.
People don't like to talk about the maths involved, but you can expect to need about 50mg minimum in the liquid before you vape it. That won't give the user 50mg, because then we are into YIELD and that's less easy.
I can drain 6ml in 10 minutes lol. dual alien coils in limitless plus.
lmao addict!... honestly, I'm not much better with my triple twisted and helixed clapton SS316l .25 coils... but hey I can say I made them except for the original 28g claptons myself.. I will master the drill... but probably a wee bit much for a complete newbie at this point.
Good thing i DIY e juice. Ya a lot of reviews are like adverts and djslab or something is the worst. He once recommended a noisy cricket with .1 nickel coil to an elderly person. Haha just messing. Djlab does great review is statistical data instead of pure opinions.
May I also suggest taking your friend to a B&M nearby that you've checked out and approve of their treatment of new vapers and patience with the more......ah, mature ones. It would help this new vaper to decide what feels more comfortable and operational in hand. Also, can try out multiple different juices to bring home.
BUT, most of all, they may need something when you're not around and need a nice familiar and welcoming place to go to help them out. Won't feel so lost or helpless, but more confident of handling this new fangled thing.
