mj79, I highly recommend getting a Nautilus mini (and nautilus mini coils 1.6 or 1.8 ohm), because it's super easy to use, the taste is good, and tons of people use them, so they're easy to find, easy to replace coils. I have 7 of them (sharing with my husband), among other tanks, and use them every day.
You can use this on your MVP, until you decide what other mod you'd like. (Some simple, good choices, though to begin: iSticks with internal batteries -- like the 30 watt or 40 watt version, say, are inexpensive and reliable, or an iStick Pico that takes a 18650 battery is a good choice. I have several of both, and am also really loving the Joyetech eVic VTwo Mini, which takes an 18650 battery).
Then start experimenting with your wattage, starting low, around 8, and going up as seems best. I'm usually around 13 watts with this set-up.
Now, nicotine. Many people start pretty high and go lower later, and the conventional wisdom is that you need a higher level when first getting off the cigs. This depends, though, on how much you are going to be vaping. If you are vaping more, you need a lower level of nic than if you are taking just a few puffs every now and then. Nicotine is a lot of what gives you the throat / lung burn feeling. I started at 12 mg e liquid, but quickly went down to 6 mg, then to 3. 12 is unpleasantly "burny" to me, even though it's low relative to 18 or 24 mg. You should get small (10 ml) bottles of maybe 2 or 3 different strengths of liquid, and see what suits you best. Once you find what you like, you can get larger bottles.
All the other stuff you can figure out later! Don't start off with anything that's going to make it too frustrating and easy to pick up a pack of cigs instead! Easy, reliable tank, e liquid you like at a nic strength that works and feels right for you! Don't worry about making coils or sub ohming, or lung hits or making diy e liquid, or trying to choose a beast mod. All that stuff can be fun to explore later, as you wish. But now is the time for simple, practical reliable choices that make it easy and enjoyable not to smoke! Good luck; we're always here for questions!
