Want to buy pv for neighbor - need low-cost suggestions please.

[bodrell]

I have a lovely elderly neighbor who is on a low/fixed income because he had a stroke and is on disability. He really wants to quit smoking.
He's loved the hits off my KGO and is very impressed with the whole e-cig idea. He wants one! I'd like to buy him a decent kit - plus it will be fun to have someone IRL to share juices with - but it has to be something economical to maintain and use. He's been smoking a pouch of Bugler every 2-3 days (so equivalent to a pack per day?) and will stick with the program as long as he can afford it.
I was thinking of just getting another KGO kit and having him chip in for juice. Does this sound reasonable or is there perhaps a less-expensive way I can get him going?

Yes I would say a Kgo kit is good that's what I use also,plus he knows it so no learning curve and battery last.

I would say go with the KGO. Like blkhwk07 said, he likes and knows it from you introducing him to vaping via that device and obviously really enjoyed it. Plus less of a learning curve for him.

ditto here, it's familiar so will be easier for both of you. You may want to pick up a star dust too, it's easy to fill & use, plus you can see how much juice is in it, doesn't leak either.

I haven't tried the KGO, so I will defer to the others' opinions here.

What I wanted to say is, KUDOS to you for helping a fixed income elderly neighbor quit smoking! This could help him tremendously, not only health wise but with medical coverages, as well (not to mention the friendship). Very, very good and positive thing you are doing.

The KGO sounds like a great idea, if for no other reason than that you are fully familiar with it and can help him with any of the rough spots in the learning curve.

I think it's wonderful that you are doing this. I have an aunt and uncle whose health has been severely impacted by smoking but are still doing it. They're 1200 miles away, so helping them get started on ecigs is not an option. Kudos to you for helping someone you can.

If he is really strapped for funds - he could vape unflavored juice - it would cut the cost of juice considerably. There are many that vape it and I have tried it and will probably end up there if I ever get through all the flavoring I have...

I think the kGo is around $40.00.

 

[bear7625]

I have a KGO and love it. You can get kits for $42.

I have a KGO and love it. You can get kits for $42.

My suggestion would be the kGo pass-through $22.95, check for a discount code or wait for a sale.. If necessary he can get by with one battery at first because it can still be used while it's charging, a backup can be purchased later.

Or bear's suggestion for $42 is a good price too.

Ditto loving the kGo!

 

[bodrell]

Great!
I'll just order a second KGO kit then - Hoosiers has them on sale right now BTW and I was planning on getting a back-up anyway. That way he can have one set-up and charger to start with.

 

[NeonPriest]

you can't go wrong with a standard 510 kit. they work great and battery life is good for a small unit. another option but a tad more expensive is the ovale elips, which i find great for being so small.

 

[lalasalama8]

love the idea of the Kgo pass through...perfect for someone on a fixed (low) income...and congrats on doing something really great...Karma is your friend. Plus, I generally really like hanging with older folks. They usually have great stories to tell once you get them to open up.

Joye eGo passthrough for $16ish (plus $ for cartos & juice) is the best I've found. Picked that up for my bro in law and sis. Plenty of options for expansion later.
