Another vote for the eGo here. It's what i used to get off of cigs and at some point I will probably try some of the different mods but right now I don't really have a reason to try something different.

I used to recommend a standard 510 kit, but tend to recommend an eGo/Tornado kit now. As far as recommending a mod as a first kit, I tend not to as it is a personal thing. Plus, when one starts vaping, they may not actually stick with it. If you stopped, I guess you could sell the mod relatively quick right here. I have a few mods, more then what is listed in my sig, but I still find the Tornado/eGo with 510 catomizers or 510 atomizers (w/highping's mod) to be a very satisfying vape. The only thing I don't like about an eGo/Tornado is the cost of spare batteries and that is why I like my mods more. However, the eGo's design of dropping the voltage down to ~3.2v makes the 510 not harsh at all IMO and may make it worth it to some.
I've spent over $4000 in PV's and supplies. I've tried most all the mods out there. There are only 2 that I use daily:
Big Chuck (6): Custom Graphics, Excellent Customer Service
GGTS (2) (1 GGSS): The Best Mod Built to Date, user friendly
I only wish I had found them both before I spent a ton money looking for the right thing for me. Now, I have no need to buy anything but carto's and juice.
Those are my go-to mods as well Grammie. I love my Chuck for the personalization, and my GGTS for the utility.
If I had known before I bought thousands of dollars of other mods, I would have done things differently. Those mods pay for themselves, despite the investment.
I have no regrets though, really. Enjoyed the learning curve of going through several mods, just wish I wasn't out so much money on the way up
Here's a good tip: go to the classifieds if you're wanting to buy a mod, and see how many are for sale. If there's more than one or two of a model listed, it's not a good sign.
For the price the Chuck sure seems to be the deal.
I know what I am not buying, that's anything with proprietary batteries!!!
I won one of the new Megalodons (from the makers of the Mako), I'll let people know how well that goes. Hopefully there isn't a whole lot of hassle with the O rings but I'm sure it's going to be great no matter what. Untill then I will just keep token on a 5 volt box mod. Two 14500's get's me through a whole day.

I can suggest a mod that I've used constantly over the last 7 months, and that's the PureSmoker Protege.
I've spent close to $2800 on mods, batteries, and atties and nothing has beaten this mod as my take-and-vape-everywhere favorite--even when I had a stubborn Stainless Steel mechanical button on one.
Another exceptional mod is the GGTS. It can be a bit bulky (depending on the configuration), but you CAN NOT beat the versatility and bulletproof performance of this e-cig.
$312.00 is equal to 5 weeks of smokng regular cigarettes (my previous costs for my habit).
Hardly the bank buster, especially considering what you get for that money.
If I had it to do all over again I certainly wouldn't have spent 6 weeks fiddling with all those cartridge-filler ideas. My space is swamped with all sorts of fluvally-foamy stuff, white, blue, buff-puffs, teabags, straws, pipe-screens, etc.
Cartomizers are great, economical, easily filled and both the KR808's and the 510's work very well for me.

+ a million
Though.... now I just drip on 510's. But I'm never going back to stuffing and filling carts again. I would strongly advise cartos or dripping.
Yep!! 1 Silver bullet,4 400series atoms, 2 510 to 401 adapters,4 18650 3000mah protected batteries, 1 wf139 UltraFire charger, and 60ml uf Cuban E-Smok'n juice hightest. And dat woods just abouts be my first E-Smok'n order if'n I wasa juts starts'n out....Hecknaw
If I were to do it over again? I wound not have waited so long!
I also would have skipped the 901 kit I bought along with the 501 kit.
But, But, those 2 'cheap' kits got me off analogs. I've now moved on to eGo's and a Silver Bullet. All within 3 weeks. Everyone's preference's and needs are different.
As of now, I am happy with my SB with a eGo as backup. I still have the 510 & 901 parts as backup.
If I would have started with a SB or eGo, I might not be able to appreciate them as much.
The learning curve is a needed thing, we learn from our experiences or we are doomed to repeat them. If we don't repeat them, we end up with a box of spare / un-used parts, that we recycle in new and imaginative ways.

I'm amazed at the changes I've seen in the last month!
If these don't get banned or taken over by BT, I can't wait to see what comes next!
