Help! Tobacco liquid and beginner kit.

[Jerri]

Need some help for my uncle. He’s decided after 50 years of smoking to finally try vaping.

He wants a tobacco liquid and I’ve never vaped tobacco so I’ve no idea what’s a decent one and what’s to be avoided.

Also need a decent starter kit. No idea what’s what with those since the last starter kit I had was 5+ years ago.

Can’t order from China as it’s needed asap. He’s just been diagnosed with lung cancer, it’s taken that to give him a kick up the backside try vaping.

Was looking at the innokin jem. That any good?

Thanks

Hopefully this will help with the tobacco - they are very good.

You can get concentrates or pre-mixed.

As for kit, maybe a Nautilus tank?

Others will certainly have good advice on a basic set up

Only vape tobacco liquids, and the best by a country mile, in my honest opinion is house of liquid cigarillos, closest thing I've tried that's like a ciggie, it's not cheap, over a fiver for 10mls, but it's kept me off of the fags for over three years, would also say something like a nautilus on a Istick should do a decent job to start, at least you know the coils are easily available,
Best wishes
Cheers Glen

I actually still have a 40w iStick so he can have that, just need a tank, didn't think of a nautilous

[MrDJ]

istick 40 is a perfect sized mod for the nautilus 2 or if you can find one the original nautilus.
the only backy flavors ive tried and still use daily after 3 years are Manabush and the newer 11 11 from dinner lady.

Jerri I've a mini Naut and a new Assa copy of it plus a new pack of coils if you want them, you can have them cheap £12.90 posted RM 2nd class?

Sorry to hear of Your Uncle's diagnosis...
Re. Tobacco liquids, I only vape 'baccy...& mainly diy NETs. I'd therefore endorse the prev. suggestions from HoL & Bestciggy as about the best available here......BUT...I'd think twice about recommending these liquids for someone just starting out vaping due to the way that coils will need constant care/replacement....wouldn't want Your Unc. to get p-d off with vaping b4 He'd really started!! I speak from experience as I was trying to vape Bestcig. juices in Mini-Pro-Tanks when I started vaping 4 yrs. ago....the constant re-wicking/changing coils was v. frustrating!
I'd go with Hangsen to pair wiv 'beginner' kit as Their juices are much cleaner....& the range of different 'baccies is fantastic.

Thanks. I may take you up on the offer but I’m going to the local vape shop with him on a day or so. So he can see what he wants. He thinks the iStick is too big. Hoping I can change his mind.

How many of us said that when we started out Jerri! I'm sure you'll be able to talk him round.

Hope so! If he thinks the iStick is big god help him if he ever decides to get a mod!

I stick with aspire tank mtl all the way. Tried lots and done the sub ohm thing but always revert back to this setup

[Jerri]

Well. Went to the local vape shop today. He’s decided he’d like to ‘think about it’ which is my uncle speak for ‘I don’t want to quit smoking stop harassing me’

So I shall let him get on with it. If lung cancer isn’t enough of a kick up the backside then nothing ever will be.

Thanks everyone.

You've tried Jerri . . . . and you can do no more than that.

Silly chappie.

Exactly. He’s always been a stubborn idiot. In the hospital before he saw the oncologist I said to him ‘would you consider vaping’ he point blank said no. The oncologist had a moan at him so he seemingly just went along with her when he knew full well he had no intention of even trying.

It’s annoying but you can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be helped.

Silly chap is being very nice about it 😂
