Hello and welcome to the forum @.... Wayne Stewart. Glad to have you here!
If you are interested in learning more about e-cigarettes (and all the parts and pieces) below are some blog posts by ECF member @Baditude that I highly recommend for someone new to vaping.
Nicotine
A "general guideline" for nicotine concentration in e-liquid to the number of cigarettes smoked per day. If you are subohming (resistance under 1.0Ω) cut these nicotine levels by at least 50%.
06 mg = 10 cigarettes or less
12 mg = 20 cigarettes
18 mg = 30 cigarettes
24 mg = 40 cigarettes
eLiquid/Juice
PG = Propylene Glycol - the "flavor carrier" of e-liquid. A secondary source of "throat hit", but not as strong as the nicotine concentration. Some people have a sensitivity or even an allergy to PG. It's very thin.
VG = Vegetable Glycerin - the "vapor maker" of e-liquid. Used as a sweeter in many food sources, and also as a skin emollient. It's very thick. Often labeled just "Glycerine"
PG and VG are often used together in different ratios in e-liquid. For example, a 50/50 PG/VG ratio. Many juice vendors offer a range of different ratios as far as PG/VG.

Hi and welcome. If you are trying to quit smoking, I usually recommend new starters begin with an iStick 30 and an Aspire Nautilus tank. If you're getting into vaping to blow cloud and aren't trying to quit, that's not the right gear.
Welcome and glad you joined. I too like the istick 30 but prefer a dripper (RDA). The istick 40TC has the best battery longevity between charges.
Some popular brand names you can look out for:
Aspire
Eleaf
Innokin
Kanger
for complete starter kits.
One often recommended started kit has been an Eleaf istick30 with an Aspire Nautilus mini.
Welcome and congrats on getting on the path to nonsmoking. As far as your set up it all comes down to your needs... There is a ton of info here and lots of ppl willing to help.
