If you've got some coin to spare, and want to skip ahead a couple weeks, I would highly suggest investing in an eGo-style battery, strictly for the reliability and the battery life. Some of the smaller units really lack in terms of batteries. From there, you can pretty much use any atomizer style, from dripping to cartomizers, whatever will suit your needs (probably cartomizers to start).
I just wanted to get the ball rolling, suppliers here in Canada are nowhere near as plentiful, so I'm sure some of our US members can point you in the right direction!
Best of luck and Happy vaping!

Ego type mods , are perfect place to start , but there are clones , out there , that are cheaper. There are also , regular kits , that use atomizers and cartridges , and also tank versions . Might want to start out with the regular style , at first . And a 510 type connection , is probably best . You can buy low resistance atomizers , or cartomizers (combination of cartride and atomizer , all in one . Plus the cartos , tend to hold more juice . and/or after you get started , you might want to try "dripping" . You use a drip tip , right on your atty. (no cartridge , or carto) just the atty. and drip tip, 2 or 3 drops and vape . Hope that helps .
I personally , wouldn't buy any e-cig , from a 7-11 , mall or gas station . They don't work , for beans , and really won't give you an honest try at e-cigs . Invest 40 or 50 dollars , and really do you overall health , a big favor .
NJoy will produce weak vapor and be expensive. The cartomizers they sell are hard to refil and and very easy to burn. For the same price you can get a 510 kit from madvapes.com (I would try an auto kit) and bottle of refil liquid for about 40$.
They have a cartomizer kit that is easy for convenience (and replicates a light cig decently) or an atomizer/cart kit if you want something closer to a full flavor cig.

How much do you smoke, how long? Give us a little idea about your smoking habits and what your looking for and price point, and we can suggest something for you.
Thanks for the info on the NJoy. Glad I didn't waste my money there. Now I need to read up on the eGo and 510. There is so much to figure out. Are there any shops that sell decent quality items, or is it best to get everything online?
I am far from an expert. I've had a hard time getting started myself. Right now, my suggestion (if a cigarette look alike isn't important to you) would be to grab a Riva kit from Liberty-flights (make sure to use the 20% off link at the top of their page. I really like my Riva but a longer battery life is really important for me. Not because I'm out all day or don't have the ability to switch out batteries all the time but because it's frustrating and off putting.
For a right away juice I would ask others but right now Honeyvillevapor is running 5ml samples for .39 cents each and you can buy up to two of each flavor. They might not be your favorite all time juices but it's a really great and super cheap way of determining nic strength, vg/pg combos, and what type of flavors you're going to like the best (fruity, dessert, menthols, tobaccos, candies). But it will probably take awhile to get their juices right now because they are gonna to have A LOT of orders.

Well, I got the Riva ego at Liberty Flights for $29.99 and quit.
I feel like I'm a Riva fan girl today, but that really worked for me. Very versatile ecig, you can get parts easily, has a 3 month warranty and works well. Can't beat it with a stick. About the size of a sharpie and have an 8 hour battery.
There are also mini's that are popular. They look a little more like a small cig but they have a short battery life. People like the KR808- Smoke Tip, Volt, Bloog, Vapor4Life. Or they like the 510.

+1 for the Riva 510 kit from Liberty Flights. It's a great way to get started and fairly inexpensive. Much better battery life than the PVs that look like cigarettes.
It's also a good idea to pick up some extra atomizers, and grab some juice samplers as was previously suggested.

Standard resistance attys should last several months, but there's no guarantees they will. Having backups of everything is the golden rule of vaping.
Attys will decrease in performance over time, but that can be mitigated by cleaning them. There's many methods to do so. Some use ultrasonic machines. Some people boil their attys. Then there's the controversial "dry burn" method. I just do simple overnight soaks in 99% isopropyl alcohol.

I don't use atomizers (nothing at all wrong with them) I use cartomizers which is the atomizer and cartridge combined. Pick up a box of 2.0 boge cartomizers and then you can use your ecig many ways. Also a couple of drip tips.
You can drip (drip juice directly onto your atomizer)
You can use atomizer/cartridge (just fill the stuffing inside the cartridge with juice, place on atomizer
You can use cartomizers - fill with about 1 ml of juice
Purchase tanks & tank atomizer - I'd give this a try once you start vaping
Cart/atty is a great way to test juice and it's a little cheaper. Some people like the vape better, but holds a little less juice.
Cartomizers hold more juice, don't leak and are easy. They are considered disposable but you can get many refills with them.

There's tons of options in the vaping world and everyone has different preferences. I not a fan of the taste of cartos, but some people enjoy it and love the simplicity they provide. Cartos are usually pretty cheap, so you might want to grab a pack of them as well to to see which you prefer.
The average is from 18-24 to get off cigs from the polls.
It's a very individual thing though. Some light smokers need high nicotine, others vape 12.
I bought a bottle (same juice) in 12 and 24 mg nicotine. I figured I could mix them to get the best strength, but the 24 was perfect for me. Got me off the cigs.
You really won't know unil you try it. That's not a great answer but probably true. Get a few small bottles for a couple vendors and see what you like best.

Unfortunately, you just have to try out various strengths and see what works for you. Everyone is different and your smoking habits are no indicator where you may land. 3 PAD full flavor smokers have been fine at 12mg, whereas some PAD light smokers had to go up to 24mg.
