Vaping? (self.Blind)
submitted 5.354198527520576y ago by derrekjthompson
So I've been smoking cigarettes for years and thought I would try switching to a vape. My experience has not been great. Are there any blind people who vape here, and if so what is your setup? Sorry if this seems off topic but I'm trying to see what vape rig would be easiest for a blind person to use.

My husband said to use anything that is top filled and use a squeeze bottle of juice so you can hear when it is full. He uses a Kool Fire Ultra. And that you'll have to have a sightling to help you set it up the first time. I'm trying to get him to subscribe to r/Blind. He wants to know what you use a Reddit client.

Oh man, I love the phrase sightlings, reminds me of a friend of mine who uses it and he's the only person I know who does, except fellow friends of his.

I personally use the iPhone app but it can be a little wonky. It's obvious they don't have blind test users.

I use BaconReader on IOS, but the official Reddit app is mostly accessible as well. I never have a huge problem knowing when the tank is full, it's knowing when I'm out of juice that's the problem.

I use the Reddit webpage with NVDA and firefox. I've not tried the clients that much but when I do, I always prefer the site over them.

Smok models are easy to turn on, charge, and fill. Changing the coils is a bit fiddly, but wouldn't be terribly hard with the right tools and patience. I've had two different models. The first one worked for a solid six months before it started to lose charge. The second one is super fiddly. I think it's a battery issue. I'm probably going to go back to the old model.
I'm more than happy to answer any more specific questions!
You may need assistance the first time just identifying parts when you first take it apart. But really I don't think it would be too hard.
