Hi everybody. I've been vaping a long time now, and have converted several family members, friends, and acquaintances over the years. I started out back when the KR808s were top of the line and progressed from there to the Earliest ego styles, to a Provari, etc. all the way up to my current splitting time between a Reuleaux RX200 and an ipv3 with a Uwell Crown and a few assorted RDAs. So, this question is not for me, but for one of my many many converts. I'm afraid I've lost touch with the style of vaping she's in to, so I figured I'd ask you all for some advice.
One of my pseudo successes was getting one of my mother's oldest friends to give vaping a try, my "other mother" if you will. She's in her mid 60s, still smokes, honestly probably always will, and to my surprise, she has actually continued to vape for several years now, cutting back considerably on how many cigarettes she smokes on a daily basis. It's not "VICTORY!" but I'll take what I can get.
She's a cantankerous Indian lady who does what she wants regardless of anyone else's opinion. I got her started with her first ego setup, and over the years I've tried giving her newer devices and attachments with mostly failed results. She'd like more power, but anything larger than a VV ego is "too big", and I absolutely can not get her to try a tank other than her SMOK Tumbler.
The problem that arises is it is getting more and more difficult for her to find replacements tanks and/or coils for the thing as it gets older and older. I can order them online of course, but she LOVES going in to the local stores and just really isn't in to online shopping of any kind, but when I try to get her to try any of the more modern tanks that use aspire or kanger coil heads, she insists that they are "too ugly" and that she won't use them.
So, my question to you all is if anyone can think of a suitably pretty/classy tank with readily available coil heads that might be a suitable replacement for her aging Tumbler? My best shot was an aspire nautilus mini, which I'm going to retry with a nice ego beauty ring, but if there are any other options I'd love to hear about them.
