Hi Shay and welcome!! I started vaping in mid March, I found the smaller PV's just weren't getting it for me. After much searching and reading, I now use the IGO. The come in 1300 mah and 650 mah. I get pretty good throat hits and am completely satisfied with this PV. I have no desire to smoke analogs. You can find these D and B Gold - Home and his thread here http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...go-kits-1300mah-45-00-650-mah-40-00-a-22.html Bill sells out pretty quick as his prices are probably one of the best....I know this PV definitely is!!
Good luck and hang in there!! With the right PV and juice you'll be on your way to smelling better!! :)

New to the forum, my brother and husband have been vaping for a year now give or take. I never got in to it but i am desperate to stop smoking. I want to start vaping but haven't been able to find a pv that i liked. Any suggestions?

shay-shay you have to drink a lot of water if you're gonna vape (I hate water and don't drink enough - I think it's causing my dry eyes!). Bit of a pain but worth it. Sip water as you vape and the dry throat won't be a problem. As for the cough - depends on various factors. The juice may have too much nicotine for you - you could try lower strength. Also the draw technique most of us vapors use is crucial - take a long (well 2-3 seconds starting out) easy draw into your mouth, then inhale. Every smoker who has tried my ecig tries to draw it straight in and has a coughing fit - even when I've told them not to do it!:blush: Anyway, hope these tips help. Give it another shot - it's so worth it! I'm working on my fourth smoke free month after a 2 PAD 30 year habit!

If you are a hot hard dragger of full strength cigs or if you need long battery charge it may be best to skip the slim ecigs.

100mah is about 1 hour of moderate vaping

The two most popular slim ones are Joye brand 510 manuals (180mah) and Joye brand 510 mega xl manuals (280mah and about 128mm long with a cartomizer). Boge 3 ohm cartomizers work very nicely on these for your favorite thin juices.

For more hit and the option of prefilled cartomizers, look at Vapor4Life.com and SmokelessImage Volt (or Bloogplanet Maxxfusion, or Halocigs G6) - two styles of KR808D-1 and they can all use each other's cartomizers. If you plan to get several days to a week's use out of each cartomizer by adding eliquid, then I recommend manual batteries which are safer from being damaged or killed by juice leaks. Manuals also make it easier to get a good hit. The short sizes are 180 to 220mah, and the standard/78mm sizes is 280 to 320mah (the Volt style claims longer charge and may be slightly less voltage of 3.6v vs 3.7v). The standard size makes 120mm ecig with a cartomizers. For testing juices you can use a standard resistance DSE901 atomizer and drip tip on a manual battery. (only use cartomizers for juices you know you like. cartomizers have limited lives but are the most popular way to vape)

Both of the above models are a bit thicker than a cig, around 9.2mm, as are all decent slim ecigs.

For some popular fat battery models, go to Liberty-Flights.com, press the 20% off then look at the Ego models and Riva 510. These are 650mah and up and are big enough to optionally use the hotter low resistance atomizers and cartomizers. These can use most of the 510 and 306 threaded atomizers, Ego tank atomizers and tank, most of the stuffing and reservoir 510 threaded cartomizers.

All use eliquid.

A better option than this recommendation is the E-Power, also from Liberty Flights. Much less expensive batteries that last 5 times longer than these. $4 for batteries instead of $14 - $20 for batteries.

I ended up getting two starter kits from two different companies as I am very indecisive and very compulsive, so my only experience(3 whole days worth of it) is with the Modern Vapor Sidesho(modified M40x) and the Halo G6(KR808)
The KR808 model seems to be the better of the to, however this is just IMO. Its about the size of a pen roughly with the 78mm battery and the batteries have lasted me for a suprizingly long time. TH is pretty good at 18mg, however I am bumping up to 24. Still 18mg on it is pretty close to actually smoking, and Halo has good tobacco flavors.
The M40x is good but I would make sure you get a PCC and you will be topping off constantly if that doesn't bother you. Other than those two, I don't know much else other than what other people have told me. Ego style ecigs are a lot bigger, not so overcumbersome actually(saw one in person today). Its about the size of a mini mag lite or a large sharpie to put into perspective as far as size. My friend say his batteries last forever too. I tried his, didn't care for the taste as much(just my preference) and I think for now I am sticking with the 808.

There are tons of choices to choose from and it can get overwhelming. Start off thinking about how you want it to taste and feel over size is what I would say, I personally don't care about size or cosmetics as long as it fits in coat pockets when I go out, but like I said...I am new too and that is just my experience. Its all up to your preference.
