Hello Forum! New to the world of vaping..

[Heavy Smoker]

Welcome Alex Smith! I'm also new -- just reached Day 7 using e-cigarettes. If you have the possibility to visit a vape shop, I suggest you do that. Just tell the person, who is often the owner, about your cigarette habit and they will likely sell you something that will at least get you through your first couple of weeks. Just be very clear that you are a serious smoker who wants to switch to vaping -- listen to his/her advice, try some different flavors of the "juice" and get started. Frankly, at this stage, we just need to get started. The technology can be baffling to newbies simply used to selecting between full flavor and lights. Welcome and good luck on your journey!

Welcome aboard Alex! Whatever you get to keep you off the cigs is good but I also would recommend an iStick and Nautilus mini to start! Or look at some of the Provari mods that are on sale! A little higher than an iStick but they will really last!

Oh @Alex Smith, you've come to the right place; vey passionate community here. Welcome!!!

You have picked up some great advice already... iStick/Nautilus combo will certainly replace those Newps.

I'm going to jump the gun tho and offer up some sideways advice for later in your vape carreer:
Consider obtaining a mechanical mod someday - maybe a vaperversary present after a year of staying away from the Newports. A good mech will last a lifetime while the iStik may not.

If you do go this way, beware of the shinyitus bug. Many of us paid good money for shiny bits we no longer use. It's Ok to like shiny things but these days the word is out on quality Mechs, unlike the days past of many units proved to be more experimental than functional. Just go Greek made and you'll be taken care of on the second leg of your vaping journey.

It wouldn't hurt now to browse the GP Paps, The Golden Greek, Atmomixani, Gus, or Atmistique web sites and forum topics. Hopefully will give you direction looking forward. Each of these vendors have played a very special role in our vaping history and development and each has made some very special lifetime devices that are beautiful and vape really well.

Hello & welcome @Alex Smith

I'm so relieved to hear you aren't going for the Blu & are looking at cheaper options than the website your friend recommended

Welcome and happy vaping! I just got a Innokin endura t18 and I absolutely love it! I think you would be very impressed if you try it out. Good luck!
