Need help for a friend...

It really depends on what she's looking for. If she's a former smoker or looking to quit, maybe start with something like a starter kit from V2 or Halo. Or maybe an ego style like something from Joyetech or Kanger. If she wants a tighter draw and something that vapes like an analog, try an Evod. If you/she thinks she might be more into cloud chasing, try a Kanger Subvod. It would probably be a good idea to stay away from box MODs and the like while she's still new to vaping.

Since you can handle the mod part...I have and use any/all of these tanks that take a factory-made coil, and I'm a lady vaper, too. They're easy to replace the coils in, not prone to leaking, and the coils don't cost an arm and a leg:

Aspire Nautilus Mini
Kanger Toptank Nano (easy-peasy topfill tank)
Protank II Mini
Protank III Mini

I also use many of the older Innokin 16D clearomizers. I love them and will always use those in addition to any other tanks and RBAs I have and use.

In that case I'll second the Aspire Nautilus.

Kanger Subvod Kit has a 1300mAh battery with a matching Toptank Nano 3.2mL tank on it that's topfill. Also has airflow control so she can adjust the draw. Recharges with a Micro USB port on the bottom, and you can vape while charging (passthrough capability). Can use subohm coils of 0.2 and 0.5ohms, and/or 1.2 or 1.5ohm coils. Also comes in some "lady" colors, too, besides just the standard black and SS...if that matters.

This isn't where I bought several kits from, (got mine on sale elsewhere), but this page gives great info. about the kit:

Kanger SubVod Instructions

My Subvod is my first "real" vape, and it's been good to me. I'd suggest it for anyone looking to quit smoking and get into vaping, or someone who's used to mtl vaping looking to get into sub-ohm cloud chasing.

I've been slowly nudging my wife to start vaping for a year or so now. Hopefully I can add some info.

Draw style? MTL or DL, tight or airy draw?
Form factor, this seems to be kind of a big deal for the newest vaper.
True desire to move away from the cigarettes.

If you're buying, probably a handful of different disposables will be enough for her to determine if she wants to continue on the vape journey.

GL!

Subvod Kit is reg. $42 here, but is $29.40 + FREE S/H when you use the coupon code: Turkey, at Checkout. They have Purple, Black, Silver, and Blue (it's really a pretty turquoise color). They're a good company, authentic products, and fast shipping.

You can use the SSOCC and/or the OCC coils in it, too. Both come in subohm resistance and above as well.

I would stay away from mechs, even if you "schooled" her.


Id sudjest an ijust 2 kit. Its similar in size and output of a mech.

What is the tank that goes on the subvod?

And do the heads come in something higher resistance? (around 1.2ohms)

For the mod, I'm going to get her a mechanical. It's simple and she can swap batteries easily (being able to swap batteries is a must for her....she smokes a LOT lol). She really like the Nemesis, so I'll go something similar. Me and my buddy have already schooled her on battery safety and the like.

It's the Toptank Nano that comes on the Subvod. And if I'm not mistaken, you can get the coils in a higher resistance than the .5 that comes with it. I'm pretty sure I've seen at least a 1.2 SSOCC for it.

The Toptank Nano comes on the Subvod. The SSOCC coils come in 0.2, 0.5, 1.2, and 1.5 ohms. The OCC coils will also work in it, and come in 0.5, 1.2, and 1.5ohms.

I'm a toodle puffer and I'm partial to Joyetech tanks like the Tron-S or the Ego One V2. These use a CLR coil that is perfect for my style of vaping. I also like the GS Air style from Eleaf that use a 1.5 ohm coil. I also still use Protank and Evod style tanks.

Most of the Subox Topbox style are too harsh, put out to hot a vapor for my taste.

I will always recommend a Nautilus Mini for someone looking to start vaping when quitting smoking it has a draw similar to an analog and can be basically care free with proper use.

Safety. A new vaper really shouldn't start out with a mech. There are lots of decent affordable mods with built in safety features that a mech is less than ideal.

I second this. There are some good $ on ego one kits right now. Simple one button push. They are not like the pen style egos. The mega diameter is 22mm, so they are mod-like in function and appearance.

For a replaceable battery, the pico is popular for a reason. The Mello III tank takes a wide variety of coils including 1.8 Tritons.

I second this, a mech is better suited for rebuildable rda's then drop in coil tanks for one, second, although you may think a mech is a simpler device, it also has no safety features, and if she wants more power eventually , she would then need to build lower and lower in resistance to achieve that. With Building lower and using more power, requires more knowledge about battery safety which is very important. Using drop in coils with specific resistances equals a set wattage which may be too high or too low for her and in that case, she cannot adjust it unless she changes her resistance and if they are drop in coils, she may not be able to find a coil with a resistance that suits her, for these reasons, a regulated device is much much better
