Can't beat this for a starter kit for around $50..and while there try a sample pack of HHV NET's..Dragon's Fire, Pirates Booty, and Legend are just a few really good ones.

Black Anyvape and Aspire 1000mah Upgrade Starter Kit - $48.99 : Heather
I started and failed on a starter kit. I then bought lots of mods and atomizers and ended up, 28 months later, with exactly this.
iStick and Nautilus (mini).
I have other stuff, but this is my day-to-day go to kit.
Exact same story. Failed with the starter kit. I woke up in the middle of the night three days before Christmas and went outside to have a cigarette. In the cold. At 5:00 am. Thought to myself "this is stupid. I don't enjoy this anymore." I went back inside, dusted off the starter kit and went to the vape store the next morning.
They recommended the istick and nautilus mini with 18mg nic. That afternoon I had my last cigarette. I was a pack a day smoker for 22 years. Today was my 3rd day smoke free and I can honestly say I don't crave them at all. I wish I would have stuck with vaping the first time, but it just didn't feel or taste as good as it does with the new rig.
I really hope you can find something you like, and don't get discouraged if it doesn't work right away. This forum has been a big help for me too. Lots of great advice and inspiration.
Evidently you did not read what I posted. @ what point did I say go to a B&M? My suggestion was not to buy .... from halfway around the world when you can get it in the same country @ relatively the same price and avoid all types of potential issues....Do whatever you want, good luck.
think it through. what i mean is... what set up will work for you the best. i did a month of reading and finding out what exactly i wanted. i didn't want any thing break down on me. i didn't want any chips or wires, or complicated set up. after considering my options, mech mod was for me. a mod that holds the battery, an atty that holds the liquid. nothing to break. then i compared the price. FT has cheapest i found. problem is, it takes 2-3 weeks for in stock item to get here. so, i placed the order on in stock items and waited. 2 weeks, and i was vaping. i made sure i got the battery and charger from reputable vendor in US. liquid from US, and coil wire from amazon.
understanding battery safety is a must along with ohms law if you want to use mech mod. building coil is simple, if you just want to vape. some mech mod won't sit some atty flush. you might want to think about that too.

I was smoking marbs as well. Vaping made it easy to quit. Im sure it will for you too. Just get the right set up. I dont think ecigs cut it though. I would go for like kanger pro mini's on some rig of some sort. Thats how i quit,
These E-Vapes work better than anything out there and really make it enjoyable to quit.
But you have to be ready to quit for it to work. You have to mess with these things often.
It wont always be at a good time to mess with them either. So you will want extra parts,
batteries, maybe even a back up rig. You have to take this stuff everywhere you would
take cigerettes, everyday. You have to marry into E-Vaping and the messy troubles that
comes with it for them to work. If you do it will work with ease and alot of papertowels!

The DNA 20-30 chip sets can only boost the power up, they can't reduce the power below the charge level of the battery.
ex: I have a 1.25 ohm coil in my KF, and run it at 9 watts. (3.35v) With an iStick the unit would be at 'low battery shut off' before it was able to regulate to 9 watts. (which would read as ~8 watts on an iStick)
There is a simple solution to that problem of course, (more resistance) but that's a bit much for a beginner to understand.
That's why I suggest the little VV V3 for a first PV. It then becomes a good backup when the persons knowledge level is able to "understand".
Suggesting a Ferrari for drivers ed is just a bad idea.

Point one: I posted a disclaimer stating that FT was where I buy products and that the kit was available at most local shops at a higher price.
Point two: I have placed and received 15 orders (approx $2K), for personal use and friends not business related, and have received all orders (average delivery time, 20days).
Point three: I have returned items that were received DOA (once). I have returned one item that failed after approx 1 month of use that was replaced and all shipping paid by FT. Try returning a mod to a local shop after a month's use.
Thank you for your opinion
I'm right there with ya bud. As soon as I saw the istick was Mean regulated I crossed it off my list.
My only experience with a device using Mean regulation was a Vamo V3 which, according to the propaganda was Only RMS. After a few puffs I was getting burnt vapes @ 3watts ( the vamo 's lowest setting). I decided to try switching from Mean to RMS before sending the Vamo back as defective. After the switch from Mean to RMS it vaped normally. In fact it is still sitting in my vape stand today. So, I'll never own an istick or any regulated device that uses Only Mean.
I smoked for 35 years and quit last October. 14 months now. Ecigs are great for quitting cigarettes
I started with a Provari 2.5 and a Protank 2. I still have and use the Provari but it has its limitations for low ohm build and high watts. I think it is my most solid built and reliable mod though. I have mech mods and all kinds of tanks that I don't use anymore in my search for best vape. Now use RDA and RTA's. The protank I thought was good when I first started and then used others and discover how terrible they where IMO.
Ok I will add to the list here. My story is one week long to the day. I walked into my local B&M and tested out flavors. This is a must no matter if you buy there or not. You will not enjoy or succeed unless you find your flavor. I bought my starter kit there too which is an Ego-T 1100 plus the juice I liked. I am still on both and very happy but I will be changing my tank and buying more juice online Now that I know what I like.This is a biggie for everyone tastes are different. I do not like creme flavors. but then again we have a milk cow here so that would explain it for me. Many juices have creme in them. I now know that so I can avoid them. You will be different. With that said my next big piece of advice is do what was suggested in getting rid of or hid your smoke stuff. Then Febreze the heck out of your house and car if you smoked there too. This will help with cravings. You can do this we all did. It is not that hard. As a matter of fact it might be a let down on how easy it is, just do not be too hard on yourself. Welcome to the forum lots of great help here.
You know there are several vendors in Murica that are about as cheap and shipping is pretty fast fwiw
I bought an Aspire Nautilus Mini VV+ kit for 49.99 locally with a $10 off promotion. It works great. I am in the market for a larger battery now, but the kit alone is great. I did buy a cheap eGo/CE4 setup ($13) with a eGo-T battery for a backup. I found CE4 replacements for $1.30 each. The eGo-T battery even runs the Mini just fine while I charge the 1000mah battery that came with the Naut. After smoking 2 packs a day for 15 years, I was amazed that I could pickup a Naut Mini and not want a cigarette!!! Cold turkey. I am vaping at 18% nicotine... In the last 3 weeks since I quit, I have already saved $100, after spending about $100 on the kit(s), juices, and BVC refills. It has already paid for itself and saved me $100!!!
