I would recommend the eGo also... Several vendors here sell them. The eGo is larger and little heavy than a regular analogs and some other devices. Mine is like a mini cigar with a mega atty and I love it and travels the country with me... Does the look and size something your also looking at?

Welcome to ECF and there is plenty to read and get your mind racing here....

Well re 2-part and 3-part you should try to figure out if cartos are the way you want to vape. There is no "you should get a 2-piece" unless you are reading some site that only sells a 2-piece. I will tell you the cartomizer of a 2-piece absolutely does not last as long as a pack of cigarettes (in case you have seen any site saying that - typical rebrander lie).

With cartos it's a bit more complicated to fill and take a bit longer to fill, but a fill lasts longer. Cartomizers also eventually burn out or get singed - you may get 1-12 refills out a carto if you don't burn it dry, refill while it's still wet etc. But they are designed to be disposable so they do die so you have to keep a stock of cartos.

With a 3-piece (ie battery, atomizer, carts) if you take care of the atomizers they should last longer than a 5-pack of cartos (which about what an atty costs). Cart filling is easier but need to be done or at least topped off with a couple of drops much more often.

The most popular starter ecigs are
Joye 510 (3-piece but blank cartos available)
DSE901 (a 3-piece with a softer hit)
KR808D-1 (2-piece)

Some adapters exist between those models. I think they are all about 120mm long and 1mm thicker than a Marlboro.

A two part e cig or PV is a cartomizer and a battery. A PV is a battery, an atomizer to vaporize the liquid and a cratridge to hold the juice. A Cartomizer is an atomizer and a cartridge in one piece. If you want to start with prefilled cartomizers The KR808 is a better choice. There is more variety in prefilled cartos for it. Vapor King is aKR808. If you are ready to get cartomizers and fill you own I think the ego would be a better choice because it is a bigger battery. The main advantage to a bigger battery is that it will last most of the day and give you a more consistent hit and flavor during that time.
