very true chrissie.
I wonder aldo if some of the swapsmoking that holycow has used (pg only) would be a good source for a few tobacco liquids without breaking the bank?
Or the supplier in holland (i forget his name), with his 10ml 2E weekly april specials, to add some of the other flavours for the kit.

working backwards: purely for comparison with liberty flights. Riva bundle £34.00 2 x 750 batts 2 x standard attys 1 x usb charger 1 x mains 10 carts Extra USB charger £5 extra ego xl battery £15 2 x LR attys £12.60 1 x standard atty : £7 5 x cartomizer £6.50 car charger £2.50 5 x clearo's (from camperman as couldnt find them on LF £9) _______________________- £91.60 - 15% = £77.86That doesnt include liquid or a carry case (carry case wast of money imo - a mens toiletry bag with pockets is cheaper and does the same thing, i got a knocked off champneys one on ebay for 0.15p inc free post ). LF isnt the cheapest supplier out there (i say that without prejudice as i've ordered in the past and will continue to do so), so I am sure with a bit of persuasion there will be a supplier who will be willing to offer a killer deal or risk losing the business.

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.

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.

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.

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).

I rent privatly, and I'm hugely lucky with my lovely landlady... however I believe landladies like her are few and far between.
I've been on the social housing list (its an ebay bid scheme here) for 3 years, and in all that time only 3 properties have been suitable for our needs.... needless to say they are also suitable to about 15000 other families, so the chances of me getting one are very very slim.
Stick to where you are, and keep looking for a housing exchange.

I've used both...
my little d-1 takes cartos and with boiling I can refresh them for about 10-12 refills before they die. I also found the draw was better on these after the first couple of refills, and not so "airy".
My tornegoriva has carts and cleros.
The jury is still out for my on the cleromizers. I like them but... its the feeling and flavour of that little rubber end piece... yuk.
I havent yet found the ideal soloution. I'm not a fan of the tank system, cleros are ok but could be better, carts are ok but hassle to keep dripping, Direct dripping is great if you have the time to be able to constantly drip.
The biggest downside for me with cartos is the faff of refilling. Its not difficult, but you do feel a bit like a druggie with your needles and syringes.
I'm going to have to try a map tank I think.
