I'm sure many of you see this topic name all the time, but my questions wont be too heavy. I simply am just looking for a starter kit and some basic juice with tobacco flavor, if possible dare i say it (camels) ... Just want something with a good battery good reliability and a website with good service and cheap pricing.

if you ask me the best starter kit is an eGo kit with at least a 900mah battery.. it will last the average person all day on a single charge.. there are a ton of vendors that have them pretty cheap.. I'd post links to some but I'm not sure if it's allowed or not so I'll just say google is your friend..lol. if you google eGo kit you will find tons of them. just make sure it is a genuine Joye tech eGo kit not a knock off..
as for juice it is so subjective I'd hate to speculate but I can tell you I have never found a tobacco juice that tasted like the actual thing.. for me fruit is my vape of choice but there are some good vendors that have camel type flavors.. the bad part is your gonna have to just try a few from different places to find one that works for you. just because you find one at one vendor you like the next vendor you try the same juice from may not be as good... so it's gonna be trial and error when it comes to juices..
 
Welcome. I'm pretty new, myself. Been just over 1 month. I've tried several vendors site and have had much luck. I started off with a e-cig that looked like a cig, k808-d and still using it when driving and then a 510 most other times.The bigger the battery the longer it will last. I have 1/2 dozen batteries and 3 will get me through 13-16 hours. In the juice department. I started mixing almost from day one. Wife got us the greensmokes from a discount drugmart and I figured out real quick that some vendors sell the same device, just lots cheaper. Juice is subjective so I can tell you I like the signature brand of tobacco menthol, but you might hate it. Check out youtube and you'll find lots of "intro to vaping". Good luck and enjoy the journey. I've been cig free for over 30 days and loving it. Buy small bottles to try out and if they have sampler packs do that. I've found that I still love my menthol/ tobacco but you'll never find one that tastes like a cig. Making something that you vape taste like something that you burn isn't going to happen. But, as your taste buds change you might find you don't need it as much. I make a killer mixed fruit juice and the wife lives on coffee flavored e juice.

I second the eGo except I would reccomend the ego-twist as you can change the voltage if you want to. (more voltage gives you more heat, which provides you with more vapor and flavor)

As far as tobacco flavors go. I can guarantee now that you will find nothing that tastes like a cigarette. I would try some fruit and bakery flavors first. And I saw first because I don't want to deter you away from vaping. That must mean that tobacco flavors are gross right? Actually I have found quite a few that I love but like I said it doesn't taste like a cigarette. What I mean is that I was looking at tobacco flavors all wrong in the beginning. Like you I was trying to find a cigarette replacement. What height have come to find out is that what a tobacco flavor Really taste like is unburned tobacco. Think of the way that pipe tobacco smells and that is close to the flavor that you're going to get from a tobacco juice. The flavor is more complex than cigarette tobacco. I just couldn't appreciate the flavor or wrap my head around it.

Oh by the way I was a Camel Turkish Gold smoker for years and switched from smoking to vaping over 2 yrs ago.

I totally agree with CASEACE79 in that you should get the ego-twist battery with variable voltage. As for an atomizer, I would suggest the vivi nova or the mini viva nova. Whatever you decide to get, make sure you get back ups. If the battery, or the atomizer or the charger go belly-up, you cannot vape and you will be heading to the nearest convenience store for some ciggies. I just made a purchase (for the first time) with MyVaporStore and found that their prices were most reasonable and you'd be able to get everything there. You can also use their coupon code of "5ecf" for 5% off.

I agree with the guy who suggested you go for a 900mAh (instead of the 650 you indicated) battery just so its gonna last through the day... Nothing worse then having your PV run out of battery, and there you will find yourself in the dangerous moment of reaching for an analogue.

Definitly reccomend the Vivi nova... id get the smaller (is it the 2.6ml?) size just to look sweet on your eGo. Good luck!

Sounds good, what should i know about eliquid, somthing about PG/VG Ratio?

This comes down to personal preference. A very common blend is 70/30 PG/VG. Some people are sensetive to one or the other. The more VG, the more vapor will be produced. PG...more of a throat hit. Most vendors allow you to choose what mix you want. Some do not and their blend is proprietary. I personally usually go for a 50/50 blend. Gives me the best of both worlds.

The only thing I would change is tank. My wife and I have been vaping for about 2 months. We started with the mini vivi novas with 650 twist battery kits. I swiched to Kanger T3 on the recommendation from a friend and haven't looked back. The wick and coil are at the bottom of the tank so you get a better feed of juice which equals no dry hits unless you turn the twist up too high. Added bonus if the coil goes bad you don't have to dump a tank of juice to change it out. just turn the tank upside down, unscrew the coil, screw in the new coil, and your good to go. Just my 2 cents.
