Is this the normal progression?

Okay, here's my journey so far...in a nut shell...

Ordered a "free" starter kit, researched e-cigs after I saw the cost of their replacement cartos, found the forum , ordered two "real" starter kits (which I love btw), stopped smoking analogs right away, ordered a ton of replacement cartos, ordered empty cartos and juice, and now I think I need a tank!

I started out slow I know but feel like I'm making up for it. I feel like I'm spending way more than I need to, but I am happy so I'm okay with it. I guess I just would like some encouragement that I am on the correct path and not missing something.

Any starter tank suggestions would be appreciated.

You stopped smoking right after getting your PV and you're wondering if you're on the right path? Of course you are!

Trying out different setups and juice is part of "dialing in", or making your vape perfect for you. Seems that you already have a good foundation.

+1 to what he said. I managed to stay off cigarettes, but it took me going through about 10 different models before I because comfortable with it. So..yeah..you're doing great lol

Many say the liquid is more important than the equipment, so getting plenty of different samples is good.

You don't say if you are using a mini, a mid-size or a mod. All work well for different people, and for the same person in different circumstances. It's expensive at first, for two reasons: you are getting your gear supply together, and you don't really know what you like or dislike.

But much of it can be moved on in the Classifieds or PIF, if you don't get along with it.

My advice: have a different e-cig with a different flavor in it for use in the evening. It doesn't seem to work out like cigarettes, where you just smoke the same thing day in day out. A change is nice, and vaping is as much about the flavors as anything else, for many people.

You're on a terrific track -- you're not smoking...

Before you buy a "ton" of any one juice, carto, atty, batteries, etc....try just a
couple few of each. Different combinations or battery + heater + juice will all
taste and satisfy a little different, and the combinations are near endless.

Instead of buying 5 boxes of the same cartos, get 1 box of 5 different types,
see which YOU like best, save the rest in your emergency stash in case of a
zombie attack...
