It sounds like a kr8 would probably be a good start for you. Many places sell them, but I like Vapor4Life as a good starting point. To avoid the burnt taste, make sure you top up your cartos as soon as it tastes burnt, or switch to a new one if you don't want to deal with juicing up. Tossing cartos rather than refilling gets expensive, but it's much easier and has that "new pack of analogs" kind of feel. Most places say that one carto is equivalent to a pack of analogs, but for me each carto is more like 8-10 analogs before I have to top up because of burning flavor.

Stock up on a few different flavors until you find the one you like, and when you finish a carto toss it into a box for storage rather than into the trash. Later, you can look into cleaning and refilling them.

I am looking for a e-cigarette that looks like a cigarette and uses a refillable cartomizer .Also It has to it give off the most vapor when you inhale? Something that does not give off that burning plastic taste. Also what would be the best tobacco flavored ejuice I can put in it that has the highest amount of nicotine possible. thanks:)
Those question are all extremely complicated, as you will learn as you get more into this.

For instance, almost all of us think we want something that looks like a cigarette.
Probably around 85% of us find we don't really care as much about that as we thought we did.
The ones that look like cigarettes are small, and therefore the batteries have to be recharged very often.
You can get a passthru, or a PCC, to help with that issue.

Giving off a burning plastic taste doesn't have much to do with which one you buy.
It has much more to do with learning to use them correctly.
This is one of the many things we are here to help with.
:)

The best tobacco flavored juice is a personal preference, and no amount of recommendations will put you where YOU want to be.
Experimentation is pretty much inevitable when it comes to juice preferences.
But if you're asking me, I will say DK-TAB or Gourmet Vapor Full Flavored Tobacco.
But you may not like them at all.

As for the most vapor, that is the most complicated question of all.
I would have to start talking about battery voltage, and atomizer resistances, and power and wattage.
But an easy way to get more vapor is to get juices with more VG and less PG in them.
I don't like VG myself all that much, so I go with an 80% PG/20% VG blend most of the time.
You will find what you like with further experimentation.

Don't let any of this discourage you though.
In the end this will be one of the best decisions you ever made in your life.

If you want someone to tell you exactly what to do, you will get 100 different responses with 100 different choices.
And if you want to PM me I will tell you exactly what worked for me, but that is only going to tell you exactly what worked for me.

You didn't say how many cigarettes that you smoke per day. Vapor4life is a good starting point. Since you (still) want it to look like an analog, I'd suggest a manual Vapor King kit. (automatics can be difficult). If you smoke about 1/2 pack a day, go with the Vapor King Ultimate Automatic Kit. If you smoke more than that, just go to the Vapor King Ultimate XL kit. They also have a fairly large selection of juices that you could get the cartos filled with to begin with. I've never had any of their tobacco flavors.

Vapor King Premium E-Cig Kits and Cases - Vape On!

If it wasn't so important to have something that looks like an analog, you could get a eGo/Riva kit from Liberty Flights for quite a bit less.

Also, you'll never be able to duplicate the taste of burning dried leaves rolled up into a burning paper tube. You can maybe find something that you like better. BackWoods Brew has some very popular tobacco flavors. I prefer the tobacco flavors from Freedom Smoke USA. Look for reviews of juices from both companies. (someone who vapes V4L juice might come along and be able to make a suggestion here.
 
I'm going to suggest the kr808. A bit longer than a 100mm analog, easy to use cartomizers that can be refilled, history of reliability, and available from many vendors. If I may suggest, litecigusa.net. or madvapes.com.
Vapor production and TH are often affected by the e-juice one is using, but my kr8 seems to do very well at both, when vaping a quality 80/20 or 70/30 pg/vg e-juice. Starter kits are very reasonably priced. You will find the kits at either of the vendors I mentioned for around $30. Be sure to order a variety of e-juice and some blank cartomizers for refilling.
As toddos clearly stated, the burning plastic experience is most often caused by vaping a carto dry.
Keep topping them off and you'll most likely have no problems with that issue.

The amount of visible vapor is dependent on both the size of the drag and how much VG is in the ejuice vs PG. PG lets through more hit but can be a bit harsh alone, VG smooths it out a bit and adds more vapor. Juices with a decent amount of VG give more vapor than juices that are all or almost all PG. I like 70pg/30vg but I think 60/40 does give more vapor and 80/20 gives more TH.

Your requirements are a bit odd. Are you an adult?

I would recommend whatever nicotine is correct for you rather than the nighest amount of nicotine possible.

best tobacco flavored juice will get you tons of different answers. it depends on what you smoked, what familiar scents you nose gets from the vapor, what PV you have etc etc. if you want to see a ton of different suggestions then go to the main page of New Members and use Search Forum to search for Tobacco, then look at all threads whose titles are asking for tobacco flavor - you will find lots of suggestions.

I would suggest FreedomSmokeUSA Desert Ship - a Turkish blend that has a bit of harshness and pungency in its smell/taste that reminds me a bit of a freshly opened pack. The same place probably has one of the best selections of tobacco flavor ejuices. Code freedomsmokeusa usually gives 10% off. Note - not all flavors are available in sampler size $2.25 and the samplers are fixed 24mg nic and fixed PG/VG. Their Tobaccos section has all of their tobaccos and those sizes starting at $4 let you choose the nic and PG/VG.
