The noob is (now) the town expert--I need some advice.

[JuiceIsLoose]

I don't live in the middle of nowhere--but about 1000 meters to the left of it.

It is a small town and I'm the only one with a PV, so I get plenty of questions. After blowing vapor
for around 4 weeks today, I get even more questions. My neighbor wants one but is very wary of
patches, nicotine inhalers, gum, pills and that sort of thing since they don't work for her. She smokes
1.5 packs of full power full flavor cigs and wants a PV that tastes the same and provides the vapor of
the tobacco she is used to.

Since I'm not her, I figure something like the Ego V V2 with a Kangar Pro tank would be perfect for in home
use. The Mega version would last her all day and can run a USB pass through cable in case she forgets to
charge the thing. She can throw the tank on an Ego 650mAH dumb battery if she goes out and does not want
the the to call attention to herself.

My questions involve the PG/VG ratio, variable power and long term durability. Here are my thoughts so please
let me know if I'm close.

Variable voltage--she will not have 15 tanks as she will stick with one so no worries about ohms readings etc. The
variable voltage so she can set it to what works for her. It costs more but if it is not close, it would be a waste of
money to go basic.

PG/VG ratio of 75% PG and 25% VG since flavor is more important than vapor quantity. I started off with 100% PG
then switched to 50/50 and notice a large increase in the amount of vapor. She commented the preference for a
bit more vapor than PG and the 50/50 mix was more than enough. I'll guess 75 PG/25 VG and I'll tell her to exhale
through her nose if she needs more flavor.

My proposal is a basic Ego 650mAH battery with basic cartomisers so she can transfer the Kangar pro tank to the
small battery option if desired. If she does not want such a large tank, she has the option to go with the much
smaller carts that come in the basic kit. The small Ego and Ego V V2 would give her two devices just in case
something happens. Throw in a 5 pack of coils with the Kangar Pro tank and done.
Two equals one and one equals none...

Am I close are missing something? Thanks for your help!

She isn't going to be able to achieve the flavor she gets from burning tobacco. I'd let her try your setup and see how she likes that. Maybe let her try a couple different flavors.

I think that's a great way to start. They didn't have tanks when I started vaping- just cartomizers and carts/atomizers but I was pretty happy with an ego to start with. I got a good vape and battery lasted quite awhile.

Agreed...juice seems likely to be the biggest challenge.

For egos I like the evods, very easy to fill and no leaks. Same size to.

The thing is, IMHO, it's getting started with something pretty good. I mean, like I started with an Ego-T and a CE3 clearomizer. Then I found this forum and got deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole and it's a whole wide wonderful world to me. Sometimes I think that without support, people will tend to put them down and go back to stinkies and give up completely. That is especially true if they start with a crap-o-the-line setup. My first real one was a Fin from Wal-Mart and I hated it so I put it down and went back to the analogs, I didn't know there was so much more out there. I found this forum and figured it out and got bitten by the vaping bug. I couldn't even imagine giving up my vaping and going back to boring analogs lol.

A FIN from Walmart was my first too Sexy. I bought mine after work one evening in lieu of a pack of cigs & the next day at lunch break the battery died just as I was ready for my after-meal 'smoke'. Ack!! I bought an ego/clearo from the local B&M that day & thank goodness, like you, down the rabbit hole I went! I like my new hobby a lot & praise God I am DONE w/the stinkies!

 

[EddardinWinter]

I was a blu guy. I bought one in the store the other day for old times sake. Man, I really thought THAT was good back in the day, in fact, just under a year ago... Sheesh.

I like eGo 650mAh w/ CE4 Clearomizer Blister Pack Starter Kit - MyFreedomSmokes.com as a startup

At $15 + a bottle of juice it has a low enough price point not to feel like a huge commitment to someone thinking about joining the vaping revolution. It is a decent battery and not too bad clearo. I do however suggest picking up 2 if it is in hte budget so there is a second battery and clearo.
