just ordered my first e-cig the JOYE 510-T Electronic Cigarette Starter Kit (I did try a disposable) and I'm wondering what to expect. will I be able to use it right after I charge it? Also, how long will the 5 prefilled cartriges last me? and tips for this newb will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Yes right after you charge it (you can probably use it for a bit before that)
Depends how much you vape it although I am no fan of pre-loaded carts
Expect to spend a few more bucks on new juices and alternate cartos and attys

You'll be able to use it as soon as you get it! You can just put one battery on the charger and vape the other one! Li-Ion batteries are shipped with about a 90% charge, so if you can disregard any instructions telling you to charge them for 8 hours before use.
I'm not a fan of prefilled anything. It's usually nasty, but you can fill them again with your own juice. How long they will last depends solely on you and how much you'll vape. If you haven't bought any juice, now might be the time to do it.

thanks! I have some picked out from Liberty-Flights (good site?) should I add new cartos and attys to my order? and also, do I need anything special to fill them with?
Liberty make some good ejuices. So do a lot of other folks. Check out my sig for our take on many of them
You can drip fill them although I find it easier with a syringe myself for filling cartomisers (if you are using them)
May want to pickup an atomizer or 2 and a few drip tips

Definitely pick up some cartos and juice. You can fill the cartos with whatever flavor you want. Just pop off the mouth piece and drip juice down the side. If you get regular cartos, drip in about 20-25 drops. If you get XL cartos you can drip in around 40-50 drops. Let them sit for about 20 minutes so the juice saturates the filler, put it on your battery and vape away!

I don't do tanks so I can't help you there. I use Boge 510 cartos (standard resistance is needed for slim 510).
Manuals batteries - press in 1-2 second before the start of your drag, continue dragging........ let up the button about a second before the end of your drag.. finish drag, inhale. I recommend on some inhales let your nose have some vapor. Much of the flavor is in the aroma (though I cannot find much nice to say about Chinese juice prefills)
Chinese juice is 100% PG base and PG lets through the most TH, irritation and flavor. Nicotine is a skin irritant. You might get sore tongue, throat, lungs. If your are bringing a lot of vapor into your nose (I do) watch for dry skin or irritation on your upper lip - just keep your face clean and use a bit of moisture lotion at night if it happens. Buy some better juice and tanks like 20-30% VG (correct?). VG adds more visible and persistent vapor and buffer the irritation and TH and flavor a bit at that level. Lots great juices makers - visit them.
Tank users can tell you if you should use a syringe to fill and if so what kind. Prefills will not last long unless you are a very light vaper.
I recommend you get a normal standard reisstance 510 atty, a 510 drip tip, some 510 carts. Drip tip on a normal atty is good for testing juices. Carts on a normal atty - will be useful if you run out of tanks and something else to try.
Over-niccing - If you are getting too much nicotine - more than you are used to - watch for headache, numb or cold fingers, rapid or irregular heartbeat. If you find yourself vaping alot more or more often than you smoked (common) you may want to try lower nicotine if you are getting those symptoms. I even vape 0mg sometimes (no TH but a good pacifier)
Drink plenty of fluids - vaping is more drying that smoking.
You may want to take vitamins few a few days. As your body adjusts to not having those 4000 other chemicals. I just felt a bit "off" the first few days.
Search for juices with aroma/TH/flavor that satisfy you. The search begins now. Some people need tobacco flavors in the beginning and get analog cravings from food flavors. I was like that. Others can vape any kind of flavor right away. Some stay away from tobacco flavors when they start and find that helps them. Depends on the person. Pay attention to how different juices make you feel. When you find one that makes you go Ahhh then that is a keeper!

Funny thing is everyone says their cartridges represent a pack. I "think" the ego-T is in this class, but my first use from a pack a day represented 1.5ml/day. You're going to need some juice.
I'm going to say a drip tip and standard addy would serve you well in the experimenting phase, and I find I drip more than use cartridges, though I'm finding cartomizers to be quite practical.
Like others I say Liberty Flights, get some juice, maybe a standard cone, standard 510 addy, drip tip so you can experiment, and at least 30ml of juice. Johnson's Creek has a fantastic starter kit with 10 3.7ml bottles of their various flavors. Those bottles are quite handy, and they make some good juices too.
