Ok. CoolWelcome aboard....
Susan should be along any minute to post some links to help you along...!
If you are interested in learning more about e-cigarettes (and all the parts and pieces) below are some blog posts by ECF member @Baditude that I highly recommend for someone new to vaping.
Nicotine
A "general guideline" for nicotine concentration in e-liquid to the number of cigarettes smoked per day. If you are subohming (resistance under 1.0Ω) cut these nicotine levels by at least 50%.
06 mg = 10 cigarettes or less
12 mg = 20 cigarettes
18 mg = 30 cigarettes
24 mg = 40 cigarettes
eLiquid/Juice
PG = Propylene Glycol - the "flavor carrier" of e-liquid. A secondary source of "throat hit", but not as strong as the nicotine concentration. Some people have a sensitivity or even an allergy to PG. It's very thin.
VG = Vegetable Glycerin - the "vapor maker" of e-liquid. Used as a sweeter in many food sources, and also as a skin emollient. It's very thick. Often labeled just "Glycerine"
PG and VG are often used together in different ratios in e-liquid. For example, a 50/50 PG/VG ratio. Some juice vendors offer a range of different ratios as far as PG/VG.

I generally agree with what Susan says.... Kanger subbox is a good starter kit IMO. Welcome to the forums.
I've noticed, that everyone's path to quitting is different. for some people, the switch from analogs to Ecigaretes is a perfect no hitch 1:1 switch. for others, like me, it took a period in between, where I used both cigarettes and ecigs. for my mother in law, she had to quit Via Chantix, but wen to a non-nicotine ecig to keep her off. The best thing I can say, is ask questions... even if it's seemingly a small one. You'd be surprised at how many people have been through what you're going through, and had to learn through trial and effort. I didn't have the luxury of this forum when I first started, and it would've saved me a whole bunch of money in the long run if I did.
To me, the worst question to ask, is the one never asked.
I know I take every question seriously... even if it's something seemingly trivial, it's something you have to be comfortable with in every aspect.

@K.Nash after you read this forum a few weeks, you'll probably have all kinds of new shiny "stuff"....
