Hello and welcome to the forum @carrollandrews. Glad to have you here!
If you are interested in learning more about e-cigarettes (and all the parts and pieces) below are some blog posts by ECF member @Baditude that I highly recommend for someone new to vaping.
A "general guideline" for nicotine concentration in e-liquid to the number of cigarettes smoked per day. If you are subohming (resistance under 1.0Ω) cut these nicotine levels by at least 50%.
06 mg = 10 cigarettes or less
12 mg = 20 cigarettes
18 mg = 30 cigarettes
24 mg = 40 cigarettes
eLiquid/Juice
PG = Propylene Glycol - the "flavor carrier" of e-liquid. A secondary source of "throat hit", but not as strong as the nicotine concentration. Some people have a sensitivity or even an allergy to PG. It's very thin.
VG = Vegetable Glycerin - the "vapor maker" of e-liquid. Used as a sweeter in many food sources, and also as a skin emollient. It's very thick. Often labeled just "Glycerine"
PG and VG are often used together in different ratios in e-liquid. For example, a 50/50 PG/VG ratio. Many juice vendors offer a range of different ratios as far as PG/VG.

welcome and read as much as possible there are a lot of really great people who will help you on your journey to being cigarette free.
Welcome and smart you decided to stop smoking, even if it's been 10 years. For lots of folks around here, it wasn't until many more years of cigarette use (about 30 for me) before we finally got off them. Vaping was certainly a blessing for me, and hopefully it will work for you as well.
There's lots of helpful information here, and you can keep your vaping experience simple and affordable to achieve your goal.

I smoked for 46 years, and vaping has kept me tobacco-free for over three years now ...
You may hear from others here who smoked even longer that I did ...
Vaping works ...
I smoked for 40+ years and vaping has been working for me for the last three. It definitely works although everyone has a different experience before finally putting that last cigarette down. All I can say is keep at it and before you know it you'll be cigarette free. Best of luck!
You don't need complicated stuff to get started. The major ecig companies have competent starter devices. My experience, if you vape you will smoke less. If you don't stop vaping you'll eventually stop smoking.
Already plenty of inspirational stuff..I am looking to read out as much I can and implement vaping in positive manner..
Congrats on making the decision to switch! Lots of good advice here...good luck!
Already got some serious advises ISSY..Place is awesome in terms of gaining information about vaping..
