| Trying to get Wifey into vaping but she's a little self conscious about the whole thing. What, where, how, advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks |

| just encourage her easy..repeated exposure and seeing how well things go for you including how you feel better etc..over time she will come around
maybe in her case a smaller mini type might be a good option to start..or maybe an elips perhaps to help make her more comfortable...but at her pace and time..
just keep up the hints once and while to keep it on her mind...

| yea..its hard..we avid vapers seem just cant believe the analog users wont just up and immediately quit as soon as we tell them about it....especially while holding them down on the ground and screaming in their face how great it really is...go figure..

| Yep, the more you try to "help", the less they want to do it. I taught my wife how to drive a big truck. Worst. Mistake. Ever. They are not used to doing what you tell them to, LOL. She never did take to vaping, she's quitting with Chantix (shudder) right now.
Let her get interested on her own (or not). I've turned more than a dozen people on to vaping, and bought full-blown big battery mod kits. The ones that stuck to it were the ones with the most "skin in the game", the ones I helped the least, theory ones that had to pay for their own stuff and do their own research.
It's hard to keep from being an e-cig "Evangelist", but try, because it can be counter-productive. People start treating you like the neighbor that started selling Avon.
Now, to answer your question, what they want is something tiny, feather-light, and feminine looking, that is less trouble than lighting a cigarette, and something that doesn't need to be "fiddled with" to work. If you find something like that, let me know, LOL!

| I was totally ready to give up. Sick of refilling all the time. Even after a year of vaping, it was just getting to be a pita. Then came the honkers. Had it not been for those, I'd be back to smoking. You're right Quasi, at least when it comes to me. I do not want to have to do anything but vape. (For the most part)

| Oh yeah, I probably spent 40 hours fighting with cart mods before I just said heck with it! I'm mostly dripping anyway, with all these Pyramid tea bags, bits of straws and juice smeared all over the table. Then I figured out how to mod a little pump bottle so it dispensed 2 drops at a time, and I was done with all that nonsense. | |

A Raidy mini-genisis or a big battery mod.
Just fill with juice and put batteries in it.....no more hassles.
The wick is made of stainless steel mesh and the coil is made with Kanthal wire, which is far more durable than standard nichrome. And everything is easily replaceable....(still requires care, like any other well 'oiled' machine)
There are quite a few versions and open source plans out there for building a hybrid....so you'll be doing some study on what you want.
They say that the flavor and throat hit coming off the SS mesh and Kanthal coil are cleaner & tastier than ANY carto or atty made.
They're supposed to be the ultimate vape from what I've learned....but they are expensive to build.
I suppose it all really depends on your selection of materials though, hm?
Anyways, I've seen a couple step-by-step videos on how to build a hybrid tank, one in particular was pretty good but it was in Spanish  but there are others....
Or you can buy plans.
But it may be your next "thang", dunno...?? | |

| Won't work, I've floated that idea too (batts in an Altoids tin, cord connected to a passthru), and it went over like a lead balloon with every woman I asked. They didn't like the cord. Shame, that would be the easiest mod ever! | |

And make the world's FIRST wireless PV!!
No more excuses for the wife then, huh?
