Are there good comprehensive guides out there regarding vaping? My mother has been a smoker for a long time, and she bought a "myblu" on a whim. However, she is concrned about the need to buy small recharges, as it is obviously not environment-friendly. Moreover, she had issues with the battery (I think it's not charging anymore, or maybe charged but not producing vapor) after a couple months of extremely light use. As she finds the product unreliable (battery capacity, etc), she always have cigarette "backups". I do not know anything about the mechanical parts used, nor the chemicals (for DIY liquid), or even the various vapes on the market. Are there good, reputable and independent review sites or wikis on this topic? Preferably not with toxic kitchen recipes. I think a good vape could accept either standard or homemade products, with a standardized battery, and as much replaceable parts as possible.

I started with a myBlu and ended up going through 6 different devices before finding one that doesn't suck. There is a huge quality problem in the market at the moment. The device I settled on, and which I've had zero problems with, is the "Smok Nord AIO 19". It's about 25GBP. Note that I had also bought a "Smok Novo" and DID have problems with that, it leaked everywhere, so even within the same brand quality varies dramatically. The reviews on YouTube aren't useful because they don't usually use a device long enough for problems to become apparent. I've been using the Nord AIO 19 for several weeks now and swear by it. And it's not to be confused with the regular Nord... Which looks like the Novo and also has leaking problems. If you're in the UK, Totally Wicked are a company that, while expensive, can be trusted. They only sell quality devices, but they're all rebranded versions of other manufacturers. They've recently struck a deal with WHSmith who will also be selling their kits (that's how trustworthy they are).
