I went straight from the starter kit/ego battery stuff to a mech and rba five weeks into vaping, but what worked for me won't necessarily be right for you. As mentioned earlier, there is a learning curve and homework to do. Then too, mechs and rba's might be overkill for you and not at all what you want or need. Look into the MVP and attys that work well on it. You might also want to consider one of the lower priced regulated mods as a starting point to get into mods.
Moving on from starter kit?

See, that's why I think a cheapo DNA30 is the way to go over the MVP. People don't know if they are going to want to get in to rebuildables at the OPs stage, but a cheap Hana clone leaves the option open while still being perfectly fine for everything an MVP can do as well. That's just my opinion though.
how cheap are the Hana clones though? Here in Canada they are $100.00 so I don't really consider that cheap.
Get the MVP 2.0. I started vaping a few weeks ago and that's what I got. I honestly see no reason to get anything else other than having a backup unit. It works great and the battery lasts forever. I did order an Aspire Nautilus Mini tank for it this week though.
You can get them for $40-50. That's hardly a substantial investment and they're well worth it.

No, the battery lasts for 300 to 500 charge cycles, and then you throw the MVP in the trash.
$49, that's without the battery so the shipping will be faster though, so you would need a battery or two, and a charger if you don't want to charge the battery in the mod.

My rationale for my 'next step' suggestions is that one thing a newer vaper wants to avoid are any major 'potholes' in their vaping road that may discourage vaping. Ergo, I recommend an MVP 2.0 and an Aspire Nautilus with BVC heads. This is a great intermediate rea$onable set up that will do well as a back up combo while exploring mechs in the future.
Good luck!

That is true but if others are like me, I only have to charge mine every other day so if I can get 300 to 500 charge cycles that would be 600 to 1000 days. Not bad for a $40 to $50 investment. To each their own but I see an MVP as a very good upgrade from a starter kit. Half the fun "for me" was all the small steps along the way. JMHO
300-500 charge cycles charging daily is about a year or more. assuming 300 charge cycles for a $40 device, thats about $0.13 a day... Some get by 2 or 3 days without charging (I surely wouldnt!). I think thats an incredible value for what you get.
The QC on those Hana clones is nearly non existent, and you need to add ~$15 for a battery, bringing you to almost twice the cost of the MVP... Though I agree, if you are going to get into RBA go there. If not, or you are not sure, go MVP2 and, if nothing else, you have a decent backup device if your DNAClone fails.

As I said, mvp is a fine upgrade for pushing a nautilus or an aerotank. I just personally don't like sealed units, and there isn't a lot of room to move up from there. The MVPs maximum wattage, for example, is lower than I ever run my Kayfun.
The MVP 2 is $45. There is plenty of room to move up because its only $45. If you get it, use it a few months, and the move on... Well you've gotten your use out of it and you're out $45. If you buy something that is $100+ and don't like it or change your mind, that's a little tougher to swallow. The worst case is you have a good backup unit (which is good to have anyway) for little investment if you move on from an MVP. If you are not literally 100% certain what route you're going to go, why invest a lot of money?
It's a no brainer. Even if the MVP dies in 9 months, who cares? They're inexpensive. They give you plenty of time and enjoyment while you figure out what you want to do.

How often would you charge it every other day? If you vape a lot then maybe every day.That gives you a year or 2 maybe more. When you tell a newbie to go straight to the mods or someone said a provari really? What if they don't like vaping? some ppl don't. What if they never what to mod? A mvp2 is 40 bucks at Innokin iTaste MVP V2.0 - 101 Vape. If you don't like vaping not much money nor time spent. If you do like it it is a awesome battery you will still use or give to a friend to get them started vaping. I started with a itaste vv3 which was a fantastic start. Since then I have picked up 2 mvps. All are still working great. I still have no desire to mod maybe never will.
The over all goal is to never go back to smoking
