Hi Jimmy! I'm Lois Lane. No I'm not.

Sorry you got sucked in - I hope you extracted yourself totally from that!

There are plenty of reasonably priced models. We shop somewhere below that rip-off seedy upper crust of ecig sellers.

If you want slim and are willing to put up with swapping and recharging batteries more often, the two most popular model lines are:
Joye 510 (2-3 hours battery w/ light to moderate vaping, 3-4 with the mega xl batteries and I recommend MANUAL batteries)
KR808D-1 (sold by Vapor4Life in colors, most prefilled cartos are there too) Standard length batteries 3-4 hours, and get MANUAL batteries

If you want 6-8+ hour battery life or more with longer batteries, skip the slim ecigs and see Ego and Riva 510 for the 510 line or if you want to be in the KR808D-1 line see leCig's Pigcig and CigEasy's Elegant Easy. the fat-battery models also let you use hard-hitting low resistance parts.

Any of those are a good start. They are the most supported threadings for adapters and cartomizers.

Whatever you get, you will be adding eliquid. 510 comes as a 3-piece (with atomizer and cart) - carts need to topped off often with liquid. You can also drip on an atomizer if you have manual batteries (not recommend on autos). Many prefer cartomizers - combined disposable atty+cart - if you fill one well or by prefilled and keep it damp with juice, you could get 4-7 days use out of a carto and some people are even successful at reviving them with cleaning. The KR8 line has a good selection of prefilled cartos, 510 line does not but 510 may have a greater selection of blank carto styles. Either has adpaters to use the other's parts. Ego also has new tank atomizers and tanks that hold a lot of eliquid (and apparently use it up quickly too) - see peoples' review of Ego-T

I held back inorder for someone to suggest the majority recommendations so I'll throw in my :2c:

I like to suggest a mod as a option to the objections of others here. The traditional route of getting a eGo, Riva or KR808D-1 has and will work as it did for me...when I first started but I alway want to make the arguement that you can bypass those and get a mod. This can save money in the long run IF your the type that will chase upgrade after upgrade.

This is a good cheap deal for a starting mod because it comes with everything but an atomizor http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/e-cigarette-suppliers-forum/160858-3-7-volt-510-box-mod-2-14500-trustfire-batteries-charger-30-free-shipping-plus-20-ml-juice.html I have seen other on our forum that went straight to a hi-end selfjuicer mod. But the thing we all agree on is whatever it takes to get you to stop smoking cigarettes.

Good luck and happing vaping
 
Thanks for all the info people! I have already purchased the Joye 510 and the x power both 3.7 volt models I think. I am rather happy with both but was disturbed about a thread I was reading about cartomizers burning up on the inside. The X power does take cartomizers. I think I will be getting a drip tip for it or buying so foam filled cartridges for it. I did buy two atomizers for the x power and did a mod on one of the empty cartridges with it so I could fill it and have some foam wick the ejuice to the bridge but the spring I used keeps falling into the cartridge and preventing the foam from wicking the ejuice to the bridge resulting in dry burns and that metallic taste from the atomizer so I figured I better wait until I get the proper cartridges or do a better mod before burning out the atomizer. As far as my USB pass through... I think it fried my old computer which is now beeping behind me like a heart monitor LOL (still vapes great though!) Anyhow thanks for the encouragement.. was going to have an analog last night but passed it up... 4 in the past four days! a record for me! This is really working! Thanks every one and thanks superman!
