I highly recomment a kGO. Haven't had mine for a very long time but I have nothing bad to say about it.
I really like tanks and got started with them almost immediately, but they can be a little troublesome sometimes or at least a little more complicated than using a standard carto. So depending on whether you'd prefer to have a good vape with more simplicity, you might want to start with cartos and eventually move on to tanks. Whatever you feel comfortable with.
As far as menthol juices, I am really liking more peppermint flavors. I'm currently using Peppermint WOW from Vapor4Life (which is delicious) and just ordered the WOW Boy Peppermint.

Thanks all for your help =)
One more thing.. are eGos not 510 threaded? What kind of adapter will I need?
Btw, it looks like Hoosier site is out of stock on the e-Power kits. I saw some on Liberty Flights though... the batteries are different however. One comes with 2 pcs- 14650 Protected 1050 mAh Batteries and the other is 2 x 18650 Li-Ion Batteries (2800mAh). Are they the same size, just different capacity or is there something significantly different about these?
So if I got one of these kits, all I need is some 510 compatible cartos and maybe a drip tip and spare batts/switch?
kGos look intriguing too, any site sell cartos kit version of these? I don't really wanna mess with atomizers/carts.

The 18650 is 4mm larger in diameter than the 14650. (The first two digits are the diameter in mm of the battery.)
Larger size means more battery capacity. A 14650 e-power will be about as big around as a typical sharpie pen. An 18650 would be closer to one of those large magic markers.
EGo's do have 510 threading.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but you may be able to get a kGO with cartos however it's more expensive? I got mine from Hoosier (fast shipping and great customer service) and just left the atty and cartridges to the side and ordered whatever cartos I wanted separately plus a couple of tanks and drip tips.
Try contacting Hoosier E-Cig Supply and ask when he will have them back in stock.
You will probably want at least the atty to test juices before filling a carto with them. And, if you got in a pinch waiting for a carto order, you could get by with the cartridges. Just a thought.

Proprietary battery Kits like the eGo, kGo, riva, come with 2 units bc that's the only way they can give you 2 batteries since the battery is permenantly incased in the unit.
Since the Epower uses non-proprietary removable batteries the kit comes with 1 battery tube, and 2 batteries. Personally I like that more bc I like that it's easy to carry a spare battery with you and pop it in if needed, compared to proprietary battery PVs that give you no choice but to carry 2 PVs if you want to take a spare battery with you.
The Epower kit comes with 1 battery tube, 2 14650 batteries, 1 switch, 1 charger, and depending on where you get it from normally either a 5-pack of blank cartos or some Prefilled cartridges+1 or 2 attys
As far as replacing stuff, with all ecigs, things occasionally break and need to be replaced. The battery tube really should never need to be replaced bc there's no part of it that can really break, the switches can fail and/or break but really any electrical ecig switch can fail. I've been using the original switch that came with my Epower for over 6 months and it still works great. It looks alittle beat up and tarnished, but it works nonetheless. The only Epower switch that was really problematic was the 3rd gen white LED switch. That switch gave the Epower a 5-click on/off feature for the first time. Nothing was really wrong with it, Smoktech just did a bone-headed move and for some reason made them rated for 2.0ohm and up, when all the previous switches were 1.5ohm and up. People obviously were ...... bc it didn't work for alot of people if they used below 2.0ohm cartos. The newest switch is available now though to rePlace the white LED switch though, and the new one works really well. It has a blue LED and is rated to use 1.5ohm and up like the older switches, but also has the 5-click on/off like the white LED switch had. So as long as you get a kit that doesn't have the white LED switch you'll be good to go.
Not too many vendors have the newest switch yet bc it only came out a few weeks ago, but there are a few. Hoosier is out of stock of them right now, and CCV is expecting them to come in this week. As far as getting the newest one with the actual kit instead of as an extra switch, the only vendor that I know that sells the kit with the newest switch is Smoktek (not to be confused with Smoktech who makes the Epower). Or there are quite a few vendors like Hoosier ecig supply that sell the kit with the older blue LED switch. Yeah it doesn't have the on/off feature, but at least it works well with cartos below 2.0ohm unlike the white LED switch.
The batteries should def last you for quite awhile. Non-proprietary batteries last longer than proprietary batteries, and it's def a plus that you can buy 3-4 Epower batteries for the cost of 1 kGo/eGo battery. I have 4 batteries now that I just use in rotation, but 2 of them are the ones that came with the kit. I've had them for over 6 months and they still work great and hold their charge for just as long as when I got them.
I think the Epower gives a great vape and I think you'll def like it. Im right out of college and paying school loans, so Im on a budget as well and I'm really happy I got the Epower. I take it with me wherever I go and vape all day. I've had it now for about 6 months and all my original parts are still working flawlessly. I've bought a spare switch and a few extra batteries, but their basically just so I have backups for just in case. So for me the Epower has been very cheap to maintain, which is always a plus when your on a budget.
Oh and even though the E-Power only comes with one unit, if you decide you would like another, you can just build yourself one for super cheap. Hoosier sells the battery tubes for $7.50, and you can get a switch for about $10. Then just use the 2nd battery that comes with the kit and youve got yourself a second unit for cheap. Hoosier also sells the cones, but their not a necessity, and personally I never used it anyway.
If you get an E-Power or kGo, I def recommend trying the Ressurector cartos. They are 1.7ohm and hold about 2ml of juice so they last quite a while. They are designed for 3.7V PVs and work awesome on the E-Power and kGo. They are the only cartos I use on my E-Power, and they produce a ton of vapor. And if you want to refill even less often, the Ressurectors fit perfectly in the Smoktech tanks. I use a Smoktech 3.5ml tank and really like it. Their cheap and they work well. They are dual coil tanks, but I think dual coil cartos suck at lower voltages, so i didnt even use the pre-punched DC carto that comes with the tank. Instead I use the Ressurector cartos and they work a LOT better. They are single coil, but are the same size as a dual coil carto so they fit perfectly in the tank and fit great.
CCV and Hoosier both sell the Smoktech tanks and also sell pre-punched Smoktech 1.7ohm XL cartos (Ressurectors) that have the metal base on them like the DC carto that comes with the tank. I think the 3.5ml tank is perfect for E-Power/kGo sized PVs. Its big enough that I can fill it in the morning and easily go all day, yet is still small enough that I can easily carry my E-Power in my pocket with the tank on it.
The 3.5ml tank really doesnt make the PV much bigger and I dont find it any harder to carry it in my pocket bc the tank is about the same diameter as the battery tube.
CCV also sells the E-Power, and I was going to recommend it in the previous comment, but didnt bc their sold out right now. I did just remeber though, that hes really not sold out, hes just not selling them until he gets the newest switches bc he wont sell them with the white LED switches bc they caused so many problems. I do know that he has a bunch of the leftover older blue LED switches that work well. I bet if you called him and asked he would sell a kit with the older blue LED switch.
CCV is where I bought my E-Power and they do have a really good deal on the kit, but until the new switches come in, which are supposed to this week, hes not selling them. While CCV does sell it for alittle more than some others, you do get about $25 in free stuff, so it ends up being a really good deal, and I normally recommend to people to get it from there.
Oh and I did just realize, like I mentioned before, Smoktek sells the E-Power kit that comes with the newest switch. While they do sell it for $65 which is alittle more than other vendors, their kit actually comes with 2 complete units. So with their kit you get 2 battery tubes, 2 batteries, 2 cones, 2 of the newest switches, 1 charger, (5) 2.0ohm cartos, and a carrying case.
I didnt realize it came with 2 complete units before, and actually thats a pretty good deal for $65. They sell it in black and crome, but right now they only have the crome in stock.
Regardless of what you decide, if you get an E-Power or kGo I think youll be really happy with it.
Goodluck with it and let us know how it goes!

Liberty Flights sells the regular 14650 battery E-Power but they also sell the new 5 volt E-Power. I would definitely consider the 5 volt version as you will get much warmer vapor at the 5 volt level.
