Hello and welcome to the forum @Ramesses. 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.
Here are a few more links from New Members Information <= Link covers many topics. Here are two of them:
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. Some juice vendors offer a range of different ratios as far as PG/VG.

Malaysia has no laws with regards to vaping. For a start, the Eleaf Istick 40w. Kanger subox mini if you're not keen on TC.

What type juices? Malaysia have a lot of vape shops. You might wanna Google then head down to check out. Your local brews are great.
I read a review saying kanger subox is sub ohm something....mostly for creating alot of vapor......
I kind of looking for something tht can substitute my cigarette smoking addiction. So im not so into the vapor cloud yet.
A review i read, saying the joyetech vtc mini is suitable for starter....is it correct????

Evic vtc mini has temperature control as compared to the kanger subox mini. Do read up on temperature control of you decide to get one.

I started with an Eleaf Istick 40w with a kanger subtank mini. Easy to build and easy for daily gear
