Help me help my friend...

[Tom]

My friend (and best man) has finally caved and said he will give vaping a solid go when he gets back from his holiday.

He smokes 15-20 B&H Silver a day.

I want to get him a simple setup (and backups).

Whats good?

Istick 30w and nautilus you think? or is there something better now?

He said for me to just buy him the right stuff and he'll give me the money.

Will get him a selection of tobacco and nice flavours I guess.

Any tips/advice much appreciated - been a long while since I was in his shoes

I really like my iStick 30w . . . would happily buy another.

istick deffo, with an aerotank mini. Get him to order some juices too, baccy flavour (for that 'just quit smoking' taste) and some fruit, minty or custard juices (actually get one of all 3) so he can see what's ahead of him in a coffin-nail free life:)

Tom I wonder if you should go back to basics for your mate. When I think back to when I started (well my second device) with a bog standard Evod it did the job just fine. I've since bought all sorts as many of us have but its not really required to achieve the goal of quitting fags.

Although the iSticks are cheap and pack a great battery life there not the most reliable IMO and can be a bit harsh, especially for a beginner. It's also quite a big lump in comparison to a fag. Maybe it's needs to be viewed from the perspective of a smoker rather than a seasoned vapour.

So my recommendation would be two iTaste vv kits with iclear 16s, if your mate gets the bug then the worlds his oyster

Personally I agree with the previous poster that iSticks can be a little harsh with the power and creating a harsh vape which will put a new vaper off.

[Greg]

I agree with the previous poster too

Gotta agree with Greg here simpler is better a good quality ego with an evod type to ease him into it and your there for him later once he wants to go further many I've helped are very happy with the basic setups and don't go beyond them. We sometimes kill with kindness in terms of the journey we have taken and ended up at a point where we're very happy and look to pass that satisfaction onto our family and friends forgetting we took a while to get here. As for liquid it really is so subjective but the one I usually point people to is misteliquid the juice is decent for the price and a limited but good range of flavours for new people as I've seen that glazed look appear in newbies when they go to the big juice venders and are faced with pages and pages of choice and never send them to the sites with funny names for the liquid simpler and easier it is more comfortable people slide in till they discover their own things.

P.s didn't think if the juice vender I named is ok if not please delete and I'll know for next time.

Tom I'm selling 4 Kangertech clearomisers 3 of which have airflow control. Might be good as he can rewick the heads and as two are ego threaded and two 510 threaded he's got backs ups. All for the price of a nautilus

allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/thread/50952/evod-glass-protank-aerotank-emow

Would throw in this mix of liquids too...

Nothing yet.

Got 3 weeks.

I think I'm going to take him to a B&M for his first setup and let him try some flavours out.

Probs advise on getting a couple of spinner type batteries and a couple tanks.

I can recoil and sort him out with juice when he settles in a bit.

Great pieces of kit there mate.

I think I'm going to take him in a shop just to stop me having to put my hand in my pocket
