If you've narrowed it down to either Blu or the Inferno, then go with the Inferno. You'll be happier for it. Since the size of the e-cig doesn't seem to be a problem, you can go cheaper and either get a Riva or an eGo kit from Liberty-Flights.com. If you click on the discount coupon at the top of the page, you'll save another 20%.

Make sure that you buy at least two extra atomizers and 30-40ml of juice in different flavors. You can find juice at a lot of places online, but I buy from VaporBomb or Gourmet Vapor.

The Riva or Ego would be my pick because of battery life. Much better than slim PV types that will get you a couple of hours between charges. Many can go all day on a charge with the Ego and Riva type batteries. I was getting 2 days consistently but you're vaping habit will have much to do with that. Most report at least 6-8 hours or more.

They really aren't that big. About the same length as the slimmer versions but a little fatter. More of a cigar shape.

i'm also new and haven't decided on which kit i want to get yet but from the amount of research i've done i could suggest that maybe if you spend allot of time around a computer you would probably like to have whats called a PTC or passthrough charger. it basically looks like the battery that goes with the ecig but it has a small cord that comes out the end where the light would be and it plugs into the USB slot on your computer. That way you can vape without worrying about the battery running out. Also if you're out and about allot you may also want to consider a PCC which is a personal charging case. it looks like a small metal cig case but it charges an extra battery for you and holds an extra atty and 2 carts. as your battery runs low you can use that one and put the dead one in there to recharge. from what i hear with a 510 you can just keep switching them out throughout the day until the pcc needs to be recharged which seems to be 4 charges to the smaller batteries. Hope that helps.
 
New to vaping~ got a Blu just over 1 month ago because I was moving and couldn't smoke in my new place and thought it would *fill in* so as to not go outside so much. I QUICKLY realized it wasn't enough for me (1 1/2 - 2 packs 15 years). I needed better vapor production and battery life (about 1 cig break on a cart. and an hour or so on the batt.) than the Blu had to offer. Did some looking~ liked the look of the Inferno and got it. I tracked it and it was going to get delivered on Monday but was at the local hub yesterday so I called and went to pick it up~ I was SO excited I couldn't wait. WOW!!!!!!!!! Buy it. Just do it!! I loved smoking and NEVER even wanted to quit analogs but a few weeks later here I am- about 23 hours without an analog and I'm LOVING it!!! I have NEVER gone this long since I started. The Blu wasn't enough for me to make the switch, I was still having up to 8 analogs a day until yesterday at 12:15 and I don't even want one!! So my 2 cents~ go the Inferno, you won't be disappointed. Been on the same 1000 mAH batt. for 24 hours- heavy vaping of a noob with the excitment of a new toy! Get the Mega clearamizers~ just great stuff!!
 
From personal experience, DO NOT BUY the blu. It is the biggest piece of junk. It is so freaking sensitive and the battery life sucks. It is so sensitive, that is will pick up the wind when your outside. Which is very annoying when the wind runs your battery dead.

I have no experience with the Inferno so I can't give any advice on it. I can recommend the Joye ego.

I think your ok for now. Maybe some black carts so you can fill them with the juice you plan on buying.

i would much rather it b smaller is the inferno large? i dont want something really big. if you could choose ANY ecig witch would you say is best

None of the ones you are looking at, unfortunately.

Rule of Thumb: the more it looks like the real thing, the worse the performance.

As others have suggested, probably the best of the smaller PV's is the eGo/Riva 510.

Good Luck

You might want to buy some cartomizers or some mega cartomizers. I'm also new and I have an eGo. My biggest problem when I started was leaking cartridges. I'm slowly figuring that out, but the cartos just leak less (I'm using mega cartos, so that is all I can speak definitively about). You might also want to buy a drip tip. They are cheap. You probably don't think you will use it, but once you have your eGo you will probably be curious to try it and happy that you have it.

Yah I wasn't sure if she wanted to be recommended cartos since the kit comes with two attys already. I agree though carts can be messy.
