Welcome @Jenna Engle
If you have started vaping, good for you!
What are you interested in finding out more about? There's always lots of opinions about hardware but the important part is just to vape and enjoy.

Hi Jenna. Welcome to ECF. Once you make 5 posts you can post in most other threads.
I have been vaping for almost three years. It was the only way that worked for me to quit a 46 year smoking habit. I can give you some advice as it applied to me when I started vaping.
Start slow. You do not need or want the most expensive, powerful mod out there in the beginning. Find a device that has variable wattage and something that you can buy coils for that are above 1 ohm. You want a variable wattage device so you can adjust it to your taste. Some juices will taste better at a higher wattage and some lower. Only way to tell is to experiment. My starting point was to take the # of ohms on the atty and add 2. That will give you the volts to start at. (Most devices should display both watts and volts). Start with a low wattage and work your way up to where the juice tastes good. If it tastes burnt, turn it down. Your device is a constant, it is the atty that you may need to try several to find one that works well for you.
Try many flavors of juice by several different vendors. Try to find sample packs and 10ml bottles. A vanilla juice will taste different by every vendor. It is a matter of trial and error and takes a bit of time to find flavors that you can vape all day.
Here is a link to a thread where you can trade juices.

Good luck and enjoy!

Hi Jenna, and welcome! Everyone starts at the beginning, and you're in the right spot for information.
Actually the 5 post requirement went away with the stronger spam filters we now have.

Hello and welcome to the forum @Jenna Engle. 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 Jenna. Welcome to the ECF.
My Only advise would be to Not get overwhelmed by the Dazzling Array of Choices and Options for all thing e-Cigarette you will see here on the ECF.
Take it Slow. And do a little Reading about things that Interest you. Or things that you have Questions about. Also doing Google Site Searches can be Very Handy.
