Hey guys, I have been smoking for over 30 years, two packs of Camel lights and need to quit. I bought an X-hale o2 about a year ago and it was pathetic, I had to suck my face gaunt to get a bit of satisfaction and that would not last long as the battery would either die or the stuff in the filter part would end. I tried reading up on the new e-cigs and it's so complicated with so much foreign jargon, I need a simple explanation as to what I need. A friend of mine in the UK stopped smoking using a 'Vegas E-Cig. Also called the VGO2' but I cannot find it here in the USA, I need something similar that has the refillable cylinders. Can someone talk me through or suggest a similar product?

I am also a noob, and I'm sure you can get a lot of good advice on what to look for.
I will say though, I tried something similar to that X-hale o2 and absolutely hated it! When I got mine last week, I purchased an ego-c 650mAh battery and a stardust clearomizer. So far, I am loving it. I don't have to work hard to get the throat hit I'm used to (1.5 packs of camels a day).
I haven't heard of any vapor shops in your area, but I'll keep my eyes open. I would recommend going to a B&M shop to get someone to walk you through it and get you on a system that will be an easy transition for your specific wants.

I agree with the above, eGo was a great starting point for me and continues to be satisfying. I prefer a clearomizer setup to a cartomizer, but many will agree that the eGo batteries can take you a long way no matter what you put on top of it.
Hi and welcome! We can certainly give you recommendations to put a good set-up together, but unfortunately, most of up are so used to the vernacular we might unintentional fly over your head.
I apologize, I don't read text on-line very well, so I often miss things in posts. You liked your friend's device? What did you like about it? What size (approx.) was it? What did he use on top of the battery (what held the juice)?

I checked online and indeed there is a Vape store close-ish to me that carries the Ego you mentioned, I will give it a go, thanks
What I liked is the fact that he actually found something that worked, we both tried the cheap disposable stuff in the past with no success so learning that there are better solutions to what we tried was inspiring as I thought all e-cigs were the same thing.
He also linked a video to his recommendation that I found rather entertaining yet interesting: REVIEW OF THE VGO 2 MINI ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE - YouTube
This is a perfect starter kit. It isn't variable voltage but it shouldn't be a problem with the lower resistance of the EVOD heads.

welcome. Get a couple of eGo twists or spinners in 1100 mah, Some Kanger T3 clearomizers or Vision Mini Vivi Novas, extra heads for whichever you choose, a charger and a few smple bottles of juice you like and get started. I quit smoking the first day after getting a similar setup. I was a 2 PAD smoker for 30 yrs.
I got a cigarette style battery and ran out of power at the wrong time and ended up bumming a smoke from somebody. So to ensure that didnt happen again.Purchased a ego 1100 mAh battery and realized it was nite and day difference..I wont even give those cig style batterys away they are so silly.Vaping has some really big shoes to fill in reference to my old smoking habit..I loved smoking!! And my ego setup tho not ideal yet.. is working for thirty plus days ..It is important to listen to the youtube reviews to make informd decisions..Here as well, but a picture is worth a thousand words and a video so much more..Remember you have to have a relationship with your nicotine delivery device..And at first its not gonna be cheaper than cigarettes...but it will be if you make thoughtful decisions early on..
yes ego battery is your best choice better if is 900 mah and i prefer with a kanger t2 clearomizer good luck
@OP . . . Welcome to the ECF boards. Now, all you really need to do is to read up and all of the suggestions will start to make some sense.
Take a look at vaporsearchusa.com. There are probably a dozen B&Ms in the DFW area (Bomb Vapor, DFW Vapor, Dragonfly, Good Vapes, Mid Cities Vapor, Steam Monkey, Vape Dudes, Vaporescence, Vapor Works, and more).
You can even ask questions or search on ECF to find out more about each shop also to help you pick which ones to try first. I wish we had so many shops in my area!
Relax! This is going to be fun!

Welcome to ecf. I hope you enjoy the ride, it's a good one.
What is important is the power setting that you will want. It's no different than liking a Virginia Slim or a big ole Red Dot cigar, and this part of vaping you can only figure out for yourself just like you had to with smoking. With vaping we have two ways to adjust the power (measured in Watts). We can take a set voltage, and change the resistance to find the power level we like (best way for beginners IMO). OR, we can take a set resistance and adjust the voltage for what we want (best way once you know what you are doing IMO)
So for a first e-cig kit I suggest getting a simple kit like this one
ElectronicStix.Com · Original Joye eGo Starter kit with T2 Upgrade Batteries and 510 Atomizers (650 mAh)
And a box each of 2ohm and 3ohm cartomizers like these
ElectronicStix.Com · Boge 510 Blank Cartomizer Low Resistance 2.0 oHM 5 Pack
ElectronicStix.Com · Boge 510 Blank Cartomizer Standard Resistance 3.0 oHM 5 Pack
You will also have fewer burnt lips if you get one of these
ElectronicStix.Com · Drip Tips

as mentioned before eGo is where a lot of us started i would get a simple and dependable kanger T-3 and you will be happy for a lower cost (until you do what the rest of us do and get the itch for newer equipment) 
You will need two when one of them has button issues and wont fire...lol
My freind has gone thru 4 of them in 5 months...
Or you could bite the bullet and get a real starter kit that will save you money in the long run...
Provari with ext cap/Aw batteries/Pila charger.... Yes this a $250 setup but it will last for years, and gives high performance like no other....Rock solid USA built......1 year warranty with great customer service....

There have been lots of good suggestions posted above, all with personal bias. Finding your Holy Grail can be a difficult process and can be expensive. Whatever keeps you off of regular cigarettes is good, however I think most of us would steer you to a VV device either small or large (longer vaping time between charges) and some kind of tank setup. I will not give you my recommendations at this time, but if you desire to PM me, I will reply.
