It seems that the mAh issue has already been addressed. It's generally accepted that the higher mAh, the longer the battery "lasts." However, if you pay attention to battery graphs from reputable batt dealers such as Super T, you will notice that while a higher mAh battery may start off more powerful on a fresh charge, a slightly lower mAh battery will last about the same amount of time, and the drop-off may even be more steady. But I'm not trying to confuse you any more than you already are.
An eGo is a great starter device, but when I first came here as clueless (if not moreso) as you are, I was suggested by a VERY helpful friend to purchase an E-Power instead. That was the first solid piece of advice I got here, and I have never looked back. I now have a slew of 4, 5, 6 and variable voltage devices and I still use my E-Power. It rocks! Several vendors sell it and the average price is about $45. Included is the battery housing, switch, atomizer cone, two atomizers, several cartridges, two batteries and a single cell battery charger. You can order your E-Power with either 14650 or 18650 batteries. The 18650's will obviously last a bit longer, but I usually got a solid 6 hours out of my 14650 batts on an E-Power when heavily vaping. In fact, it was the PV I decided to bring (over my GLV) into the Disney World parks last month and although I always brought an extra battery, I never needed it.
The E-Power is great because not only does it last longer and hit harder than an eGo, but it's also regulated. This means that the hit will be just as hard from fresh off the charger to the last hit before it dies, whereas with the eGo there is a steady drop-off, and it will not perform nearly as well as it loses charge. The second bit is that it will get you used to the mechanics of separate batteries, which the vast majority of intermediate and advanced PV's run on. In contrast, an eGo is a self-charging unit, similar to the KR8 / slim e-cigs in general. It's generally suggested that you purchase SEVERAL eGo's to keep you going between charges, whereas with the E-Power the cost is greatly diminished as the only cost to you is additional batteries -- and the starter kit already supplies you with two! I guess you could always purchase yourself an eGo passthrough, but who wants to sit in front of their computer all day?
My other bit of advice to you is this: The vendors that focus on the best PV's do not always focus on the best juice, and it's easy enough to see why. The juice you will get from a reliable intermediate PV supplier (i.e., Madvapes, Liberty Flights, etc) is midgrade at best. Personally, I'm a bit of a juice snob, and I prefer to get my juice from the people who specialize in it. Some of my favorites include Copper Creek, Rawr, and Juicy Vapor. If you are to the point where you have found a certain flavor range tickles your fancy (i.e., bakery, tobacco, candy, fruits, menthol, etc) I would be more than willing to suggest to you a few wonderful flavors I have found. Just shoot me a PM, I'm more than happy to help!

Thanks to Dearme for the link! I finally found the kit for me.
