Do as much research as you can and decide what it is YOU want out of an e-cig. How big can the e-cig be (battery and e-juice delivery device), how much vaping time you want, whether you want one you can use removable/rechargeable batteries in or one that needs to be plugged in, (there are also devices you can vape on while it's charging too!) do you want a simple device or one with a little bit more in options like a variable volt or variable volt/variable wattage product (that will make a difference in the "hit" you get from each puff.). If you opt for the ones that look closer to a cigarette, you're gonna make a trade off for vaping time (they are usually smaller batteries), and possibly be limited on what type of e juice you can vape (some only come with pre-filled cartridges whereas some offer blank ones so you can fill them with your juice of choice.) Also decide what your budget is. Remember, everyone is different, thus their needs and desires in an e-cig is different. Think about what yours are and arm yourself with knowledge!

If you go in with some ideas, you'll be less apt to be pressured into buying something that isn't really what you're looking for.

When I was looking around, I had done as much research as I could and still didn't know which e-cig would be the "one" for me. So I pretty much settled on one that had variable volts/variable wattage, was size changeable, used batteries I could charge separately so I could have one less worry about needing/wanting a vape while it was plugged in. And I wanted one that would take the greatest variety of e-juice delivery containers as possible. When I talked to someone in a store, they wanted to dissuade me from my choice and tried to sell me something that would have cost me (just for their kit no juice!) more than the one I was thinking of. In fact, for roughly the price of their kit, I got a great e-cig, some clearomizers, a great charger, great batteries and about enough DIY e-juice and flavors to last approx 8 months! What I settled on (because of it's versatility) was something I felt would satisfy my needs today, tomorrow and for whatever they might evolve to. Also, their kit was not "tailorable", it was limited in comparison to the one I had chosen. Because I had done my research and had a few "must haves" and a few "don't minds" in mind, I was better prepared and knew what wouldn't work for me.

Good luck in shopping and Happy Vaping!

Thank you really much to both of us.. My budget is not so high, so I am going also to ask some advice at the shop tomorrow.
If I buy a starter kit from Halo G6 or Provari V2 then can I buy any kind of e-liquids? I had a look on internet and for what I understood it seems so to me.. I need to check if they're available here in Italy as well.
Let's see :)

You can use any e-liquid you want with your e-cig. It's not the e-cig that limits your choice, it's the material the e-liquid container is made out of. Here is a thread that talks about what flavor damages tanks that are made of polycarbonate:

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-juices-flavors-crack-tanks-ce2s-clearos.html

I would go to the last page and then go backwards from there, (ie 100, 99, 98...) because there is a full list compiled and gets updated as new flavors are added so te most complete will be at the end of the thread.

The Provari mentioned is (in my opinion!) expensive, a quality product, but expensive (I spent less than 2/3 of the cost on my set up including DIY (do it yourself) e-liquid for approx 8 months. I have a vamo v2 but that was what I chose for me. I'm sure with a little research, you can find what works for you.

Have fun shopping! Sure wish I had a store near me!

Thank you very much for your advices, I just bought my first e-cigarette. I chose a cartomizer eGo ce4 1,6 ml with a battery of 650 mHz for now. I like the warmer smoke of it. I still have time to spend here in Italy so if I am not going to be satisfied I can also buy a new cartomizer or a bigger battery. I had a look on internet and it seems to me that it is possible to buy the same cartomizer in Canada as well.
I am gonna have a look also at that topic you adviced, as I would like to make my e-liquids... it seems cheaper.
Here in italy a 10 ml bottle is only 5€... and of course you have 0, 6 or 12 of nicotine. I wish I could have that in Canada sigh :)
