What nic level are you going to start off with? How much did you smoke and what brand?
Higher nic will have a little more throat hit, as will higher PG.
If you are a newbie until you learn about ohms, safe battery and charging practices, and can buy and use a meter, I would not go to mechanical mod to start out.
Most suggestions to newbies are vision spinners, Innokin MVP, Innokin itaste VV3, joyetech ego C twists, etc. All are safe VV with some circuitry, short circuit protections, etc..........then get a few decent clearomizers (glass or plastic) and some juice you really like and just start that way.
