We finally got my elderly mother to give up her 50-year, 2-pack-a-day habit a few years back. I got her some Joyetech 510 automatic batteries, those little heating elements (atomizers?) that screw onto the battery, and the little plastic end that you put in your mouth that also has foam that holds the juice. I don’t know that vaping is 100% healthy, but I think it’s easier on her COPD, and the risk of her burning down the house is reduced as well(a decidedly non-zero risk these days.)
That worked great, but as the years roll on, things are changing, companies I used to order from are disappearing, and it’s getting harder and harder to find the parts from dealers that look reputable, or find them at all. It might be time to modernize, but I don’t really understand it all. Tanks, “dripping”, cartomizers, clearomizers, shmearomizers. “Dripping” sounds messy, and I don’t know what a “cartomizer” is or what the difference is between it and a “clearomizer.” If we go the “tank” route, what else do we need with that besides the battery?
I need something dead simple that an techno-phobic old woman can use, that’s not disposable (for price reasons), and that’s also about the same size as a a cigarette. The size is important. I bought her a bigger battery last year that lasts almost all day, but she doesn’t use it because it’s too fat. It needs to be about cigarette-sized, easy-to-use, if not easy to fill and set up (I can do that for her if necessary), and very important, it needs to be an AUTOMATIC battery. She has difficulty coordinating the pressing of a button with inhaling. It would be comical if it weren’t so sad. I’m not even sure that problem has to do with her advanced age.
If anyone could give me a little primer on what these parts are, how they fit together to form an e-cig, and which style/brand might fit the bill, I’d really appreciate it.
