All electronic cigarettes have coils (to the best of my knowledge)

Coils are what get hot and vaporize the liquid which is delivered to the coil via a wick.

E-go style startup kits are a great way to get your feet wet in the vaping world. They are inexpensive and easy to use. I started with the kangertech evod startup kit. It came with 2 tanks, 2 pen style battery mods, and a charger. That plus 4 bottles of juice cost me about $100. I was able to quit smoking within a week of buying that set up.

That said, i upgraded very quickly from those to the aspire nautilus startup kit. It had a better tank and a better battery. There are lots of great startup kits available now at some great prices. Im sure someone will have a mich better recommendation than the evod set. If i were starting out all over again i would probably go with the aspire nautilus kit. Only one battery but its a variable voltage unit so you can adjust the power a bit. You can also adjust your airflow on the tank.

Welcome to the forum and best of luck in vaping!

Perfect is hard to say. Have you taken a look around to see what you might be interested in? A combination of a variable Ego battery and a CE4 atomizer (Link: CE4 CLEAROMIZER | ECIG | VAPE | DISPOSABLE - MyFreedomSmokes) is a pretty decent beginner setup. The atomizers are disposable, and should last a few days (or longer, depending on e-liquid) so there's not a lot to fuss with.

There are currently no setups that don't require some sort of maintenance, whether it be rebuilding, replacing, or cleaning. No coil setup will last forever, it's the nature of the beast. As you vaporize e-liquid, the stuff that doesn't vaporize off will gunk up your coil. How quickly it gunks up is directly related to power and type of e-liquid.

If you're like most of us, no matter how good your rig gets, you'll always be looking for more/better/bigger/faster/stronger/shinier. We call this the "shinyitis disease." All of the rigs you'll be looking at are vaporizers. For one you'll be able to use for as long as the battery or electronics last, take a look at the iStick 50W or the iTaste MVP 3.0 or 3.0 Pro. The MVP is a bit more expensive, but I think a better product. For a tank, take a look at the Kanger Sub Tank. It has coil heads available both above and below 1 ohm resistance, plus the option of a rebuildable deck if you ever want to try that. Another option would be the Aspire Nautilus tank, for pre-built coils, or the Innokin iSub tank. Any of those are solid choices. If you're going to start rebuilding your own tanks, there are other options, but you'll need to look at some to choose.

I heard that the old tanks like that can contain "formaldehyde" as they don't work too well!

I think you're looking for something like this: Kanger Protank-2 2.8ML 2.5 Ohm BCC (Bottom Coil Changeable) Glass Clearomizer: Amazon.co.uk: Health & Personal Care

I hope you quit and have a good time vaping "validatex"

Well for something ling term i cannot help you. I have a serious addiction to the hobby of vaping and i am constantly buying new stuff!

A long lasting durable tank in my opinion is the aspire nautilus or the kangertech genitank. They were very useful to me over the last year, no serious issues yet and they still work as well as the day i got them. For a durable mod you will likely want some sort of regulated box style mod that has a removable battery (even rechargeable batteries die after time). Provided you take good care of your gear it will take good care of you.

No matter what you go with nothing will last forever. Coils need changing, batteries die, juice vaporizes, its still alot cheaper than cigarettes.

Yes to both, depending on what you buy. Some of the disposable ones (like the CE4s I linked to) are completely disposable. When they quit working, you toss the old one, fill a new one, and go.

Some have replaceable coils that are able to be cleaned, to a point. There are those of us that use different methods, like soaking in alcohol, water, using an ultrasonic cleaner, etc. to extend the lifespan of the coil.

There really is a LOT of information out there, more than I could type in one sitting, lol. But if there's anything you may be interested in, ask, and someone here will have some level of experience with it.

That is very misleading. In a nutshell, they were pushing CE4 clearomizers at voltages they were NEVER meant to be run at, burning the coils, the plastic, and the e-liquid, and then using those faulty results to call e-cigarettes bad. It's been discussed at length on the forum.

may want to look at a bit more versatile mod/ device (like an kanger subox, istick 50 or smok M80 - these will work with 'starter' tanks as well as tank upgrades down the road) and something like the aspire nautilus or nautilus mini (you will still have to replace coils periodically in tanks, but better vape experience, better flavor and more mileage) -

my friend owns one, his one looks like the eGo-T if i'm not wrong. He told me he just washes and add in ejuice when its finished and he told me all he did was that he needed the juice. Didn't tell me about changing any parts of it?
I don't have any personal experience with the Ego-T, but from what I have read on the forum, they can be cleaned and refilled several times. As to its lifespan, I couldn't even hazard a guess. A lot would depend on type of liquid and how much you vape in a day.

I started with a SmokTech eGo Starter kit and RBC w/1.8 Ohms coil and 18mg nicotine. Was about 30$ all together and i haven't smoked a cig since nor has my eGo given me any trouble!!
thats nice! i'm more to eGo as my friends have been using them for quite some time and i'm not sure about other brands. probably eGo would be best fr me.

Many, and yes, you are allowed. May I ask in what country you live? We do have country-specific sub forums that could help you out, unfortunately I am mostly ignorant of what suppliers are available worldwide.
