Have you got of those those friends who can't be asked dealing with anything fiddly? I have. She has smoked for years; I'm trying to get her to switch to vaping but so far its gone badly. I tried her with cartomisers but she said the juice gets over her hands and she won't fill them up all the time. Ok says I, lets try a ce4. I don't like it, they keep breaking and they leak. Fine. So I get her a Vivi Nova, that went ok for a while until she had to clean it to change juices and dropped the small silicon cap down to the plug hole and ended up slinging the whole thing on the floor out of frustration (she is lovely I assure you ). So Then I went with a cart and tank affair, well, after she changed her juice ridden clothes she declared to me that vaping was far too fiddly and fraught with problems and she wouldn't consider it until I produced a way that she could vape, filling once a day without her having to deal with small pieces and bits of metal and just get on with her life. She smokes a lot and I want to help her but I'm at a total loss as to where to look next. Have I missed something or am I waiting for something new to be invented?

Rechargeable bats with disposable carts? No mess, no fuss but not as nice flavours or as cheap as refilling.

I think a bit of fuss is part of the experience myself. I can choose what flavour I want and how I want to vape it and it makes me feel some sort of (affection is the wrong word) but attachment to my vaping equipment, I maintain and refill it. It's not like something you just chuck away when done, but something you have to care for in a way.
Having said that, I was put off refillable carts at first by my friend who has a cheaper kit and seems to get in a right mess everytime refilling. Early days yet but so far I've been careful and avoid any messes.

Agreed, it's like vaping for dummies (no offence to your friend) but she seems to have no patience for the miss haps which can happen with vaping. I also recommend starting her with 18/24mg juice.

I'd also recommend prefilled carts, these are what I started on and tbh had I had any fuss at the beginning I don't think I'd have continued to vape. As it is it now doesn't bother me I'd rather have more fuss and a better vape but before I knew the joys of vaping things like my current vivi nova's would have put me off.
If she has the money and doesn't mind using once and chucking away when empty great to start. Or as has been suggested she could keep em all to one side and you could fill them for her, certainly to start with.

I don't know if you saw the thread about 'help needed for blind vaper'. That was my friend Angie, who was overwhelmed by the help that she got here, and who is doing REALLY well on pre-filled cartos. She has a good supply and saves the 'dry' ones for her friends to refill for her. No fuss, no mess, no smoking!! Vape escape have some pre-filled on offer at the moment.

I'd go with Colli's suggestion, more expensive, but simple. It reads like it's any excuse though & she just wants to carry on smoking.

I binned all of my carts from my rechargeable 10 motives kit not realising they were refillable. Not that I'm complaining now, still annoyed to think a £3 bottle of juice would have stopped me going back on analogues till my Riva arrived.

Yer I think I will go with the prefilled and after that i may try and wean her across to a Kanger T2 Clearomiser and if she doesn't like it, i'll have it.

I agree with Jess. I get the feeling she may not want to stop smoking deep down and uses this as an excuse. Also she may not want to hurt your feelings after all the effort you have made

Can I just say I recently tried USA Blend 18mg at £4.99 on that offer and wasn't very impressed with the flavour, nice amount of vapour and an ok hit but left me with an acrid after taste. I had previously been vaping pre-filled cartos from 'Smoke Relief', which are a quid dearer.
