HI everybody, After watching me vaping and quit smoking, my girlfriend's father and a friend of his have decided to give it a try too... So far so good! BUT, and believe me this is a big BUT, they are currently on Africa and they won't be back till July ! However a friend from them will come and go next week, and I'm supposed to have made an order that will keep them supplied till then ! They are both heavy smokers (about 40 strong ready to smoke analogs a day) who value TH and would rather baccy flavours for sure... sooo... What should I order for them? RIVA's? Clearomizers? Boge's? Blue Foam? a Mod? I can only show them via Skype and this isn't making things easier o0 lol and I don't want to let the man down as you may understand ! ehehe

Personally I would order the following per person:
A riva tank starter kit (so you get the bigger 900 batteries - even better if its the 1100/1300), 1 x extra battery (so 3 in total, 1 in use, 1 ready to go, 1 charging) 2 x standard 510 LR atties + blue foam + pack carts 1 pack clearos + syringe 20ml tobacco flavour 2 x 5ml other flavours (lets say a minty one and a fruity/sweet one) 1 x drip tip
That should give them enough variety and battery strength to keep them going. This is what I'm going to source for my old pa, who has shown a BIG interest in my gear. He smokes 40-60 a day. Its sort of a mega starter kit for him to really get his teeth into, as I already know he enjoys vaping (he pinches my kr808d-1 kit at the mo for in the office).
Its up to you whether you think that they are serious enough about vaping to be wanting to spend a fair amount on getting them kitted out. For me, its for my dad and is a fathers day/birthday pressie (birthday is day before fathers day lol).

Tricky one Aldo. I would say something like the Riva with an LR attie. But if they are open to suggestion, I would also suggest a mod that takes a 18650 battery & again with LR atties. Would also suggest extra high e-liquid.

Would need much more juice than that tho, to last till July...
i'd recommend Riva kit too, forget the tank, unless it's easypeasy to set up and use...

That list is pretty similar to the one I had in mind, but I might give a go on the regular kit instead, with the extra batt being bigger... I'm really NOT into the tank system tbh, the one I tried really s*cked! Cold vapor, not enough TH nor vapour ! :s have anypne found one that is any good regarding these matters?? o0 and they will need much more liquid too I'm thinking of a selection of some 30ml tobacco flavours from James'! Will give diff ones a try and choose the ones I like more o0 money isn't that big of a problem... it's kind off fire at will ! lol

They will need more liquid, but are you buying a deluxe starter kit for them, or are you setting them up for 3months of vaping?
oh and i totally agree with the tank system... absoloute cr@p imo, yet holycow swears by hers! Horses for courses.

sorry i misread... yes you will need much much more juice as you are setting them up for the 3mo vaping lol.
You will need a few more atties and clearos too.

I am buying a deluxe starter kit for them AND setting them up for 2/3 months of vaping !!! and that's the tricky part of this "contest" !! lool and I will set them up with 4 atties probably ! I don't think they will get past 5 clearos so easily, but perhaps I could add another pack and a clearo tank for each? lool yeah, the tank system didn't convince me... I just had hopes that someone could tell me that it actuall had improved a lot with some new XPTO thingie because they do seem newbie friendly with no syringe, blue foam filler or dripping required !
now that I'm thinking, this may turn out a BIG order ! If they had decided earlier, it would turn out a lot cheaper as I could order it from EastMall in the group order ! Now I don't have time to do so :s

aldo, as its such a large order you could perhaps ask (brown nose) some suppliers to see what the best deal is that they can offer you?? Worth a shot especially for a supplier who doesnt currently offer discount codes etc. Nothing wrong with being cheeky, so long as you dont be rude in the asking.
Liquids... choosing the flavours is going to be the hard bit. Maybe stick to no more than 20/30ml of one flavour or another? That way if they have one they hate, theyre not stuck with just that.

Agrees with Blue, might well be worth you contacting a supplier & asking for a bulk order discount. Or maybe just placing an order yourself with Eastmall? Maybe check out Health Cabin as well? I did a bulk order with them way back in the All About eBay group - Amy is lovely to deal with www.healthcabin.net/

I would give EastMall or even HealthCabin a shot IF there wasn't a time limit for the order to arrive ! Less than 2 weeks to have everything set up for his friend to take to Africa
