I started not that long ago. I spent 3-4 days going through postings on here and even posted a help me I am a noob request.
here is what I learned. Alot if what you read will take a bit of time to register but it will come. Hang out here alot. So what I did was I found a real ecig store by me not a mall thingy. tried the EGO and a couple of differnt juices. I like you wanted a ciggy flavor but there is not a real Winston flavor and least it didn't taste like winston. So if there is a store go there, not a mall thingy. if not go to a good vendor I like LJ's e Smokes they are awsome people.
L Js E-Smokes, Electronic Cigarettes
I would recomend getting a twist or VV They allow you to adjust the voltage to change the taste of the juice. and then get a back up battery it can be single or variable volt. depends on your $$$
Get several CE4 clearomisers, they are what you put you juice in to vape. get one for each flavor and a few spares. and be sure you have a battery charger. That will get you started and unless you get carried away you should be under $100.
come here often ask questions and read posts and life will get better.
