Sounds IMO like you need:
**cartomizers for sure. No learning curve, simple to refill, consistent great taste/vapor, each one lasts a while (week or better) and can even be cleaned (dont worry about that at first...just save them for now)
**KR808 cartos specifically as horizontal coils dont burn and are consistent/reliable. Can be used with any 808 threaded pv or practically any other with an adapter.
** No Attys! They are too finicky at the beginning of vaping...try it again later if you so choose. Read again...NO ATTY's!
** Definitely a higher voltage...not 3.2 (try those that an earlier post recommended or Bloog style if you want 'analog like' and they are 4.2-3.7v so the hit is there) If you go with Bloogs or sim make sure you have at least 3 batts and 2 chargers
...cant stress that enough...if you cant end up 'dead' you wont end up cheating!
NOW HERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT!!! This is where many fail...I almost did!
Get several Nic levels!!! make sure you have what nic mg you think you need, and higher to go to if it isnt cutting it at first (or for cravings)...and even a lower level just in case. Vaping is far less effective at delivering nic than 'smoking' as there is no tar etc to cling and slowly deliver...so you will need a higher dose in the beginning than you think. If it is too high you will know (sweats, nausea,etc) and just slow down or go to a lower dose carto. This is another place where cartos are king...you can swap nic levels, flavors, etc minute to minute if you want!
The bottom line is that if your nic level is adequate, you will quit analogs!! Nic is not harmful...its simply addictive...get what you need and you can wean down later when you no longer have to worry about CANCER!
Pick a batt system and pick a couple flavors to get cartomizers and liquid in 2 or 3 nic levels. Worry about trying more flavors later (unless you just hate the starters)...get situated vaping first, get off analogs, and explore all the fun options of vaping later.
My own history: Was a Marb Light, pack a day for 25yrs. Bloogs and their RY4 liquid converted me on day 1...never had another analog, and I even started off too low on nic! Had to order higher after a cpl days but still made it. Have owned and used MANY other devices since but the Bloogs are still my staple.
Good luck and PM if you need...

Good Afternoon Mega,
When compared to the many extremely knowledgeable contributors to this forum, I am but a babe in the woods - so my reply here will fall more into the "encouragement & support" category.
I smoked for over forty years, and the daily morning ritual of coughing up the accumulated debris had been evolving for the past fifteen. It had progressed to the point where I had to spend ten minutes outside each morning to avoid alarming my family, and the fits were also starting to occur at other times during the day.
I was sick of it - and I was more than a little frightened.
It is hard to say which I despised more - the cigarettes, or the hellish grouch that I became when my brain began to scream for nicotine whenever I tried to quit "Cold Turkey."
I had toyed with the idea of e-cigs for some time, but wrote them off as a gimmick, until I finally gave in to an impulse and tried tried a gas station model.
The next day saw the last of my final pack of "analogs" and I have not looked back.
Though, thus far, I have only 40 days under my belt without cigarettes, the coughing is gone, the smell is gone, the expense has lessened, and I pray that I will be spared the grimmest of consequences for my long association with them.
I ardently hope that you find a kit that works easily for you. Nothing has ever been easier than my own transition.
On a more practical note - I have an eGo-T, type B, that is working well for me.
I had leakage issues at first, but cartomizers have cured that when out and about, and silicone caps have mitigated the leaking when I want to use the tanks.
I would note that I actually enjoy "vaping" to the extent that I have found it necessary to cut down the nicotine level of my liquids to avoid becoming light-headed from taking in too much.
I wish you the very best of luck.
Don't give up!
Regards,
SA. Mariner
