Hmmm, VTwo seems like it would be larger, though I'd have to compare. But would the LiPo be replaceable when it dies? Whatever I recommend, I want to be able to keep it going as long as possible, even if she doesn't want to swap batteries. Size will be her primary concern, but the ability to eventually replace the dead battery will be mine.
It is larger. And heavier. If it's a size/weight issue, the iPower would suffice.

As to replacing batteries? Dunno... might...

But IF you are already planning on swapping lipos as some point in the future, get an istick Pico, put in a 3000 mAh Samsung 30Q, and forget that the battery is removable...

    She actually has a couple of them, still in the boxes in her stash. I'll have to see if the only reason she liked the CF4 better was that she didn't have to swap batteries. If so, that's a good suggestion.

    This is what I'm doing for my sister, she's not interested in having and external charger or extra batteries yet. At least she'll have the option available to her if she decides to go that route later.

    If someone likes the original Coolfire IV for it's built in battery and form factor, the new Coolfire Ace Mini might be just the ticket - Innokin Coolfire Ace Mini 40W SlipStream Kit | Innokin Kits

    On a side note, the internal battery in the original Coolfire IV is an 18650, so one can replace that battery if they are a bit handy with a soldering iron. There's a video on YouTube.

    Yep, that's why I liked her getting those, because I figured I could keep them going for her longer than many of the other options.

    OK, figure this is a good place to ask this question. I have a friend who has mostly used Vamos for a few years. She was tired of knocking them over, and was introduced to the Coolfire 4. She quickly set her Vamos aside and now uses the CF4 exclusively. She tried both the original with the internal battery and the 18650 version, but has decided she'd rather not deal with swapping batteries.

    So she currently has a couple (3 I think) and decided to buy some more for the future. They have of course been discontinued. She bought 5 from FT, but they were refused at customs for unknown reasons. So, if she can't get the CF4 anymore, what is similar in shape and size, with an internal battery of about the same capacity. Obviously she doesn't need high power, but she likes the long battery life (from her perspective anyway) that she gets.

    From my perspective, I'd like her to get something that, when the battery does die in the future, I can replace it like I would have been able to do with the CF4.

    Suggestions on good alternatives would be appreciated.

    I don't remember who told me about the acrylic vase drip tips from LiteCig but I dig it. Also have one in black. So whoever you were, thank you!

    Upcoming vacation... I'll be away for 5-6 days. What to bring for vape gear?

    I'm going low tech and leaving the RTAs home. Taking 2 Vikas and a Natilus Nano as backup, plus a box of coils. Two 30mls of my two favorite juices. The Pico, the Evic Basic, Tesla Stealth 40, iCare and iCare Solo as backup backups. I think that should cover it.

    Things can't be THAT bad in Connecticut.

    What, do you have family in the area or something?

    Tapatyped
    Idunno. We've got Senator Dick, who insists that vaping is actually worst than smoking - and also insists that he's not a BT money puppet. Approximately named him, his parents did.

    Then we have a governor who remains busily rewriting drug laws, not to benefit society but instead to keep his kid out of jail. Kid's one of the state's biggest and best known two-bit dealers.

    Then there are the two foxes and a coyote that are running rampant in my backyard - of a very rural area...

    DC isn't sounding so bad to me either. At least the wily foxes there wear sheep's clothing (while drafting new legislation and regulations).
