An e-cig are those cig-a-likes you can get at a convenience store. Everything else is categorized as a vaporizer.
And pardon my manners. Welcome and congrats on making the switch.

Is there any other questions you have? Feel free to ask. If I can't help, someone here surely can.
Welcome to the E-Cigarette Forums! Ah the never ending question. It is what ever you want to call it, but when I say vaporizer, people stare at me like I'm speaking a foreign language (or ask if there is illicit materials in it and if they can partake). Then I shake my head and say "e-cig" and they go "ooooohhh"
Hello and welcome to the forum @Super Flex. Glad to have you here!
What an e-cigarette consists of:
1. Power Source -- Battery or Mod/APV. APV = Advanced Personal Vaporizer
2. Juice Delivery Devise -- often a clearomizer (a tank that uses premade coils).
3. Heating element. Often called a coil.
4. Eliquid. Often called juice.
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.
1. A Good Starter's Setup for a Beginning Vapor
2. Advancing Up the Vaping Ladder with Egos and Mods
3. Proper terminology - Is it a carto, a tank, or what? A Guide to Juice Attachments
4. Something Safe for Cinnamon and Citrus Flavors
Here are a few more links from New Members Information <= Link covers many topics. Here are two of them:
1. The Three Main Types of Ecig
2. Vaping Slang and Acronyms
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.
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.

If you go into certain stores in California or Colorado and ask for a vaporizer, chances are you will get something you weren't expecting...

In my opinion, your daughter and son-in-law gave you the ideal starters setup. I have been using the Kanger T3S tanks (with the eGo batteries) since they were first introduced and never felt the need to look any further. For me, this setup has done the job of keeping me away from smoking for more than three years and keeps it simple (and inexpensive) at the same time.
Congrats on quitting smoking and continued good luck down the road.
