buying my first 'real' e-cigarette

[emanguba]

I dunno if it's cheap...all depends on how heavy you vape.

Pre-filled carts are definitely not cost-efficient.

What many do is take the filler material out from the cartridge and mod them.

The cheapest is using atomizer and drip tip: Clear Drip Tips in Various Colors - BLUE CLEAR [gotvapes-cleardriptip-blue] - $3.45 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more
Carts are a PITA as far as I'm concerned and I hate them.

I like cartomizers best, but I tend to burn through them. Plus, I always singe the filler (I'm a bad carto user) and once that happens they're trash, so I finally gave them up and bought these instead -- impossible to burn, you fill them with your choice of e-juice: GotVapes FLüXomizer™ CE2 CLEAR GREEN 510 REG 1ml 2.8-3.0 ohm [gotvapes-clrgrn510REG2.8-flux] - $8.95 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more

As for the standard cartomizer, it's hard to find them pre-filled, those were the best ones that I found but I didn't really check out the super-gourmet juice sites either - like tastyvapor or backwoods brew -- I just assumed they don't carry something like that. It seems like a lot of 510 users like to fill their own or like to drip instead.

I'd personally think you'd be fine with the 510. The eGo does last longer, but it costs more. If you like the 510 (it's my favorite, so far) you can always get an eGo battery and charger and use your 510 supplies with it. Cignot is a great place to buy the 510, especially the "no-box" starter kit. It's cheap enough that I order a new starter kit when I need new batteries and atomizers and take advantage of the new charger and cartridges, Vickie is really good at shipping. I generally get my stuff two days after I order.

I've been thinking of trying the clear atomizer/driptip thingies, although I don't have any real heartburn with cartridges most of the time. I've been having good luck with the cartomizers from Cignot, but am always up for a cheap new thrill. Do the clear ones put out as much vapor as the 510 atomizers?

Now which are you talking about, the standard 510 atomizer with a drip tip on it or the fluxomizer/clearomizer (clear looking tube thingy with the pointy mouthpiece)??

Well, I settled on the eGo passthru from Cignot, and I ordered 5 menthol cartomizers with it. Thanks for the help!
