Well what do you see yourself with to start? Something with a small profile? If so, perhaps a volt kit kr808d-1 / something a little larger ego or kgo .... There are many, many choices - many go for mods when they're tired of poor battery life or need more flavor/vapor.
What's up, JD. Welcome to the forum. I know it is extremely overwhelming at first, but you'll get the hang of it. Anyhows, what type of e-cig are you interested in?...something that looks like a real cig or what are some preferences, if any?
My opinion is that for a beginner the best kits are the Volt from Smokeless Image or the KGO. The Volt if you want something small, and the Kgo if you are willing to try something bigger. Here is a side by side pic of a 78mm volt and a KGO:
Hey there, JD and Welcome. So much out there to choose from and too much info for one person to take in. Been there, done that, still going through it lol. As others have said, it is going to depend on what type of e-cig you are wanting for yourself.
welcome
i can only suggest the vision volt karma kit or an ego. as a new vaper myself i find it much easier than jumping into a mod right away if you are unsure of all the stuff your reading. I jumped on the lavatube (not literally) right away and although i love it, i just got my volt kit and its alot more comfortable to use and in a way makes alot of what you read about mods alot less confusing leading to a more informed decision later. keep in mind this is all just my opinion and may not be what suits you
i still feel like im playing a flute, so a smaller profile for outside the home is comfy. but the battery life,throat hit and flavor are all quite diminished compared to a big mod.
happy vapeing
I would go with the volt to start with, it has a long battery life, the cartomizers are top notch and they have incredible customer service, plus they ship fast and have good prices. Also, you can upgrade to their x2 batteries which is pretty close to the kgo. The x2 is cross compatible with the standard volt. All of their cartomizers and clearomizers fit on both types of batteries. What's good about this is you can use their standard batteries when you are out and about since it is close to an analog bit the larger x2 at home.
I would suggest the pro starter kit. It includes 2 batteries (which you definitely want), a USB charger, a personal charging case (so you can charge your batteries on the go, and a pack of cartomizers. They sell that for $65 but right now they are having a great sale, 21% off with the coupon code "memorial2012". Also, get the mega pcc, it's the same price, but carries 2 batteries and 3 cartomizers as opposed to the standard one which only carries 1 battery. Also, for $1 more each,I would upgrade to the 78mm batteries, they last a lot longer. I can usually get 3-4 hours on one with continual vaping.
As far as your filter tip, cartomizer question, I think you mean clearomizer. Many people refer to the cartomizers as filter tips because they look like the filter of an analog. The difference between the cartomizer and the clearomizer is this: The Cartomizer is a cartridge with a wicking material in them that soaks up the juice. You fill it or buy prefilled and screw it on and use it. The juice doesn't leak out since it is in the fill (like a sponge). The clearomizer is a clear take that you fill but is open on one end so the juice can roll out, it also doesn't look anything like a a cig filter. Both serve their purpose. I use the clearomizer at home and the cartomizer when I'm out. I would start with the carto.
Here is a picture to compare the battery sizes.

Also, with the volt, after you get it, you can go to the SI sub forum and look for the thread "faces of volt". If you post a picture of yourself with the volt, they will send you a free battery, bottle of juice or pack of cartomizers for free

THe filter tips are the same as the cartomizers. You will probably need at least two batteries, so that you can have something to use while the other is charging. As far as I can tell, the volt pack kit is the same as the basic except that you don't have the same color choices and you can only have the 65mm battery with the cheaper kit. Plus, you get 3 less cartomizers. If you do decide to get one of the kits that contain one battery, smokeless image has a promotion on ECF where you can get a free battery for taking a picture of yourself with your Volt. Just go to their supplier forum to check it out.
I agree with Mroutlaw on the volt pro kit for a new vaper. Me and my wife tried volt and it worked out great, but we evolved and went further with our vaping machines. This is a great place to start and customer service is excellent.
check this out if you get the volt with the extreme clearos. just did this and WOW!!! why they are not made like this in the first place is beyond me.
