I want to buy a very simple, inexpensive vape pen and 0% nicotine liquid. I just need something that will help with the hand to mouth cravings. I don't care about how much "cloud" comes out or anything like that. I need the simplest solution for someone who wants to use a vapor cig a handful of times throughout the day.
OK, you're looking for the exact same things to start with that I was when I started vaping. I found what met those requirements, took care of my hand-to-mouth 42 year habit, and got me off the smokes! I used the same, simple things for the first 2 years I vaped, and only in the last 6 months have a gotten a few mods and other tanks. I still haven't had another cigarette.
Most people on the ECF don't recommend these because they're old tech, and if you stick with vaping you'll want something better sooner or later. But, for
what you want now per the above...here's what worked for me:
JoyeTech Double 510 Starter Kit (length is slightly longer than a cigarette, but same diameter as one) - I got (2) 320mAh batteries, (2) short atomizers, and a 5-pack of refillable foam-filled cartridges, a USB charger, and a wall charger. Cost then was $32.99. The kits are still available on websites, but are cheaper now. I've seen them for as low as $19.99 on sale/clearance.
eGo 1100 mAh batteries with a clearomizer (tank for the liquid) - These batteries are about the length of a cigarette without the tank on them, but 14mm in diameter. I bought 2 little cheapo starter kits that each had: (1) battery, (1) refillable, disposable, wickless CE5 clearomizer (tank) that lasted me about 7-10 days before the atomizer in it gave out, and (1) USB charger in them. The kits cost me $7.50 each with Free S/H on eBay. I bought a wall charger separately at $3.00 w/Free S/H. I later bought some different tanks (Innokin 16D clearomizers, GS-H2 clearomizers, Protank II Minis, and Protank 3 Minis)...that had replaceable coils, so I could stop using the disposable clearomizers. Also bought an additional 4-5 of the batteries separately during the 2 years, at a cost of $5 each online.
I used just those things for 2 years. It satisfied my hand-to-mouth habit, was inexpensive when I needed to buy replacements, and wasn't real obvious when I went somewhere and was vaping.
Local friends, relatives, etc. that I've helped to switch to vaping have also used the
Evod Double Starter Kits with the 650mAh or 900mAh batteries in them. They came with 2 batteries, 2 Evod tanks with replaceable coils in them, both of the chargers, and 5 extra coils for the tanks. They were on sale for $17.99/kit for the 650mAh ones and $21.99 for the 900mAh ones. Now, they're about $19.99 and $24.99 when not on sale online at several websites.
All of the above come in various colors, too, so you're not limited in that regard if color matters to you.
Whatever you choose, please get 2 batteries at least, so you can be using 1 while I is charging if necessary. You don't want to be in the position of not having 1 ready to vape when you need it...so you don't reach for a cigarette instead.
Good Luck, and I hope vaping works for you like it has for so many of us here on the ECF and millions of others worldwide!
