Hi st1r - i'm pretty new to vaping myself - just completed one month tobacco cigarette free a couple of days ago. I got on the internet and researched and read for about a week. It seems like those new to vaping like us favor the electronic cigarettes that resemble real life cigarettes--but then get over it a little while later and start going for stainless steel batteries with blue led lights so that no one can mistake your eCig for a real cigarette, or analog as it is known in the vaping world.
The three models that seem to be the most popular among new vapers are
1-The Supermini - also known as the RN4081 or DSE103 - because of its smaller size, batteries will last anyway from 3 to 4 hours
2-The Joy - also known as the yeti or the 510 - I find that the batteries for the 510 expire quicker because you get tons of vapor from this model
3-The Classic, also known as the 901
Names vary by manufacturer - for example, the Blu ecig and Njoy are RN4081s.
Getting a starter kit of any one of these models will serve you well. Look for a minimum of a 30 day warranty in the event you get a bum unit. Shoot me an email and I'll be happy to let you know where I got my starter kit (and I have been a repeat customer there many times since).
Also, there are eCigs marketed as Quit Kits. I believe the thinking is that you start at the level of nicotine that you used with tobacco cigarettes for your eCig -- for example, I used VS Menthol Lights and ordered 11mg nicotine strength which is medium to low strength. If my goal is to quit, I can later order lower strength nicotine, say 6-8mg nicotine strength, from there, I may step down to zero. So, although for the most part eCigs are not marketed as a quit smoking device -- it sure can help you get there!
I hope this helps
Good Luck and please let us know what you end up picking!
...I can't wait to put a vapor meter on my signature
