Ideas needed for blind would-be vaper...

[lynwlt]

I have a friend who is now nearly blind, Macular Degeneration, who smokes and has been told that she needs to stop in order to preserve the tiny amount of sight that she has left.
No pressure then....

She will vape happily on another friend's e-cig but her sight is so compromised that she is unable to refill a tank or carto.
She lives alone and is benefit dependent, so money is an issue.

Brain storming with my friends has led to us thinking that a couple of standard size Vivi Nova tanks and a couple of Ego type batteries might do the job.
The tanks could be filled for her every few days.

I'm open to other suggestions, and also ideas as to which vendor would give her the best deal for that kind of set up.

Many thanks.

Bathy at Vaper stall has/is getting an 8ml V6 vivi, that would definitely last a day or 2, (unless youre chrissie)

Id suggest the 1100 mah batteries, so she will be okay for at least a day without needing to recharge.

3.5ml will probably last a day as well, so providing someone can be on hand to refill every 2 days, she will be fine.

Another option could be to get someone to prefill a box of cartos and if she can dispose of used ones in same place every time they run dry, they will be easy to fill every couple of days as well.

Prefilled cartos.... Simple and reliable

when i looked after a blind lady that smoked cigs she used to have her cigs and lighter on chains round her neck....i think some vendors do lanyards

I also think the prefilled cartos would be the best way to go.

I am partially sighted/blind I have no central vision and with just a little peripheral vision left.
I am currently using the 2.5 vivi nova and love it. I couldn't judge in getting the right amount of juice in the cartos. There are no leaks in my vivi nova and its very easy to fill. Once I have unscrewed the top I can feel the opening, I have a 2ml dropper which I put along the finger tip and drip the juice into the top of the tube, being 2ml I know I am not overfilling it, I then screw the top back on and i am ready to go again.
If you can persuade her to change to vaping her health and safety (no chance of a fire) will be much improved. Good luck.

Very kind of you River
another little idea is to have 3 different textured feel batterys, metal ingraved/embossed one 900mah battery from paradisevapeuk.vstore.ca/ £8, smooth rubbery feel one and a plain stainless one, then she could have a different feel battery to relate to each flavor juice in each.

i have a pink riva 900mah battery with a smooth finish, she could have, its about 8 weeks old, and my partner has upgraded to a ego twist & has just said you can have his stainless steel riva 900mah battery, thats also 8 weeks old.

Yet another generous contribution from a wonderful guy.

[Chrissie]

Lyn, do you think some of those prefilled cartos that Karma has linked to would be a good idea? If so, I've got a very kind person who has PM'd me saying they want to also help out.
