Welcome Sherry....
You came to the right place to learn how to quit smoking. I did after 40 years, pack-a-day.
You'll soon find out how many great folks are here to help.

Hello and welcome to the forum @Sherry7001. Glad to have you here!
If you are interested in learning more about e-cigarettes (and all the parts and pieces) below is a blog post by ECF member @Baditude that I highly recommend for someone new to vaping.
Here are a few more links from New Members Information <= Link covers many topics. Here are two of them:
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.
Tagging @Sir2fyablyNutz, who can show you a picture of his vape journey.

The ego one mega is a great starter setup if you want something on the small side that is simple and just plain works. The Nautilus mini tank with an istick 30 is a good starting point too and has adjustable wattage so that you can fine tune your vape.

Welcome and it's always good to decide if you just want to quit smoking or replace it with a healthier alternative.As the saying goes,"If I knew then what I know now".Going from the cigalikes to the APV is a wonderful experience but can be costly as you "work" your way up.Read,watch videos,find friends that are vaping and welcome to an entire new world!
Welcome @Sherry7001 to ECF You have found your way to the best place ever for anything vape related.
You have found your way to the best place ever for anything vape related.
Congrats on your decision to quit smoking and start vaping. Are there any vape shops near where you live, if so check them out and find out what they offer as a starter kit and the next star up, come back and let us know what they offer and the cost. From there you can decide which way you want to go. We are here to help so don't worry about the amount of questions, I am sure someone here will know exactly the right answer to each question.
Enjoy your journey of discovery and good luck with quitting, I don't think I could have done it without vaping.
Welcome! I am new here too . Also, eGo makes a great starter device in the ONE...
