That's plenty of $, more than enough for a good start. Somewhere between $35 and $70 should get you a starter kit with a couple of
batteries, charger, some initial atomizers or cartomizers, and a little
juice.
If you wish to start right off with something for your car, a passthrough and a cigarette lighter adapter (something that plugs into the cig lighter, and has a 2 amp rated USB power socket on the other side), that's about $25 total.
If you go the KR808D-1 route, 5 packs of prefilled cartomizers are about $7 - $9, think of them as each carto is 10 - 12 cigarettes (it varies from vendor to vendor).
Some liquid for use with the eGo/Riva/510 atomizers, or to refill cartomizers, runs anywhere from $6 - $20 per 30 ml. A typical pack a day smoker might use 2 - 3 ml of liquid a day, though those of us who like to chain
vape in the car or at work may be more like 4 - 6 ml.
Liquid strength: Typical regulars smoker might use 24 mg/ml, with some needing only 18 and others using up to 36 mg/ml strength. A typical pack a day lights smoker might use 18 mg/ml liquid, with some needing 24, others using 12. On an initial order a good thing is to try a couple different strengths, see which works for you. You may not be thrilled with the flavor of this first set, the idea is to get dialed in on how much nicotine you need. It's also pretty common to switch strengths -- I'll wake up with 24, drop to a 12 - 18 during the day, etc.
