Are they hard to assemble?

It depends on whether an ecig is a 2 piece or a 3-piece or a mod

battery + screw on cartomizer
Cartomizer (aka carto) screws on and has limited life (I can get 7-10 days use out of a carto if I keep it damp so it does not singe. If you do not keep a carto damp it will give maybe 10-12 cigarettes worth of drags)

battery + screw on atomizer + press on cartridge (aka cart)

battery + screw on tank atomizer w/ spike + press on tank (and maybe a tank cover)

Fat battery models can have more pieces like an optional outer cone

(note - carts need juice more often than cartomizers and the atomizer is what can degrade and die, tank carts hold the same or more than normal carts but many end up not liking them. Most use cartomizers for everyday vaping)

Mods take separate industrial protected or AW IMR batteries which are put inside like you would put batteries in a flashlight.

I have no idea what you bought. In general using is easy, keeping things damp with juice is a bit harder than using. Based on the assembled photo yours could be a 2-piece, or a 3-piece of the type where the cart covers the atomizer (RN4081, DSE103, L88b, or other. Less likely it could be KR808D-1 or KR808D-2). And note - some 1-brand vendors call cartomizers "cartridges" but here cartridges are things that use a separate atomizer.

Three piece unit-longest part is battery, atomizer is shorter and has threads, mouthpiece is plastic and fits on the end of the atomizer.
Two piece is battery and cartomizer. One screws into the other. These are basic units. Really depends on if your set comes with a tank type reservoir or Dual coil cartos or what have you. We would need more specifics in order to be more specific. Filing with e-juice could be much different.
You can also go to You Tube and type in the brand you purchased and watch some videos before it gets to you.

I type too slow-LOL

First off WELCOME!!!! It will be realy easy to figure out, and this is why. You have decided to vape rather than smoke so we all know you got the smarts. It will more than likely have two parts. ONE-the battery, and TWO-The cartomizer(part you suck the vapor through which also holds the liquid). Just screw them together. Your good to go. When you have no more vapor coming out it means you either need to charge the battery or change to a new cartomizer. If it tastes burnt, it is the cartomizer that needs to be changed.

If I did not answere you question correctly or to your understanding ask again. We will make this easy for you.:)

Thanks for the link so I could take a look . . . you have the battery with the light on the end, the atty, or atomizer which works as your lighter in a manner of speaking, and your cartridge that holds your e-juice. Did you get any additional juice? Although not familiar with this "brand", it's always been recommended that attys are "primed" before using them to keep from getting a funny taste from the start. In any case, make sure your battery is charged. Screw on the atty and push in the cartridge. This model reads to be an automatic, so you just take a long, slow, easy drag and you're vaping!

Be sure to read the beginner's tutorial on the information page of this forum. It'll help you learn how to get the most out of learning to vape. Your pull will need to be slow, easy, and steady.

Best wishes and I hope this gets you off to a good start! Don't hesitate to keep asking questions and be sure to drink lots of water!! Vaping can dehydrate you, especially in the beginning as you're learning.

Congratulations on making the switch!:laugh:
