If you want to get something to start and will last longer than a few weeks, an eGo battery and an Evod will do just fine. It was what I started with and didn't cost a fortune. I went to a local shop and talked to the salesman for a few. He steered me in that direction and I took him for his word. Best advice anyone has given me since my best friend told me to dump my first wife! I still use it today and probably will until it dies. If it works, why change? JMPP!
