I think his nicotine strength is too liw or he needs an ejuice witg whole tobacco alkaloids
@RainSong
Have you considered getting him a juul or similar to start? With the tobacco flavor pods? Or an icare go with some 46 mg salt juice?
We're i in your shoes I'd be simplifying down to get him started. I'd use a closed pod system with high mg. Easy fill so all he has to do is recharge it really. And then as he progresses you can build on it. He may never want to be a hobby vaper. He may want to just vape simple like smoking is and then quit everything.
I personally have the cync setup which you can get locally at vapor vortex and it's far cheaper than the juul. It works very well for smoking cessation and two pods are ten bucks at vv. The draw is close to a cigarette as is vapor output. They have some 1.5ml very high my pods and the tobacco from njoy is about as close as it gets to really smoking. As is the menthol.
I hope this helps. I'd just simplify. And make t more fulfilling and more like smoking. With so many addictive chemicals in cigarettes nicotine is a very small part of the addiction but using the 36-46 mg salts certainly satiates that craving and it's no more difficult than lighting a smoke.
The stealth battery is he battery I have. They're cheap. I'd buy two of them since one doesn't last a day. It's tiny and can fit in the zippo pocket in jeans.
Foran open system the icare go is an option but I hi k he cync is a better vape for smokers.
Doesn't vapor vortex have a shop out by you?
