New kit needed - for me Ma!

[Globalbloke (Tim)]

Feel like a newbie again

I want to buy my mum a kit but there is a stipulation I can't seem to work around, all the kits I have seen require a usb port and being me old mum she doesn't do usb.

So I really need a kit that is up from the cigalikes and not the LT kind of level, she smokes 30 Gitannes a day (they are seriously strong) so it needs to be up to the job for an all day vape session.

Soes anyone know of one that comes with the complete kit with a UK plug etc on it?

Thank You

Edit: Would be good to be a simple VV so she can up the strength or be able to produce a good throat hit on maybe an LR cart?

Tim you do you have a pound shop close to you ??? I got a couple of usb plugs from there they work great and then there is no need for a computer or other device with a usb port This would give you more options

I was going to buy one from work (asda) but wish I'd known they were in the pound shops while I was down town.

I love the pound shops and always seem to spend alot of time in this isle (teenagers and there toys) I couldnt believe it when I saw them in there

So it's ok just to use any plug with a USB adapter on it for any of the devices sold with a USB plug? I want to make 100% it's not going to get hot/overheat/fire etc because she is a tad nervous about stuff recharging as it is (we had a house fire when I was younger due to a battery recharger). If so I have loads of apple plugs here with a USB port on it that I coudl send so it would be a great fix it that is the case!

If that is that problem solved what would you buy for a techo-allergic mum of pensioner age? I really want her to get into this, she is a patient type of lady so filling carts etc won't be a bother.

I will leave this part for Macca or someone more techy minded but I have never had a problem but I understand your moms worry we also had a house fire when I was young and it does make you cautious I dont leave my batteries pluggged in when im not in the house either but for some this isnt always possible

Sorry to hijack the thread but does this mean that I can use a cigarette lighter USB charger in my car ? I go to weekend car shows and it would be really handy to know.

[violetblade]

yes Malibu I use an inverter but a usb ciggy lighter thingy works too thats all my sister uses

[Deleted]

I use a normal usb car charger , just make sure they are regulated to 5 volts output

Re simple VV but not an LT, I think a pair of say 1000ish mAh ego twists or similar would do for the power source.

eg
www.vapeescape.co.uk/joyetech-ego-c-twist-vv-black-%26-steel~367

or, more basic
www.vapeescape.co.uk/ego-variable-voltage-battery~269

then just use standard resistance front ends, they tend to suit the voltage range better.

I got one of these

and one of these
www.vapeescape.co.uk/dual-usb-car-charger~89
Both are brill

apple mains to USB or a car ciggy lighter to USB will be fine

i think a twist battery will be ideal specially if she is wanting a nice big hit like she gets from her Gitannes and a very simple way to adjust the voltage with a twist rather than buttons

+1 on the Twist . . . it's a great battery.

A little review from Jen on it . . .

Thank you very much one and all - Ego-c VV Twist is it is then!!!
