Digging through the North Texas Vapers section, I found that Vaporescence has a brick-n-morter shop in Richardson, not far from me. I think I'll head up there tomorrow, and will probably pick up a kit, some
juice, etc from them.

Thanks for all the help. I'm still very confused, but I really appreciate that so many have taken time to help.
And I'll keep watching the thread in case anyone else has advice.
It looks like you've been overwhelmed with info. I think its great that everybody has given you great advice on hardware.
I just want to personally congratulate you on your decision to make the switch. Try not to let all the technical stuff swirl around in your head for too long. You have great advice from all these members already. You just need to get one in your hands now.
With much smoking as you've done in the past, I can see why you are leaning towards a solution that doesn't require to make a mess, but that's part of the learning process. You will make a mess, you'll learn the balance point between a dry atty and a flooded one, and you'll learn just how long it takes you to go through a bottle of X size.
I recommend you try a flavor that comes close to the experience of a cigarette. This will mentally prepare you for getting off of those cigarettes. Low Resistance Atomizers are a must for the feeling of a real cigarette. In time, your taste buds will return, and those tobacco flavors might start to taste gross, its hard to tell because of your smoking history, but it certainly did for me.
The eGo or it's clone variants are a great device for starting out. You simply can't go wrong with it. I'd also recommend that 1000mah USB-rechargeable battery from the vaporcast store. Its the most convenient way to charge a device, and you can still use it while you are charging it (psuedo-passthrough). The last advantage that I see to that USB battery is that you don't have to disassemble the cone and atty every time you need to charge the battery, which means you'll have to wipe down the excess liquid which has leaked out of the atty and into the cone section-Less Mess.
Just think that should you decide to pick up a cigarette, don't worry about it too much. Just think of all the times you DIDN'T smoke because of the e-cig. The goal is to reduce the amount of cigarettes and replace that with your e-cig device.
Good luck with your endeavors. Vaping will become a hobby and as much a part of you as your smoking habit did, only this is much better for you, the people around you, and the E-cigarette industry.
