Hi and welcome.
I have smoked for about 30 years to varying degrees and ended up on rollies for the past 10 or so years. I would smoke about 6 a day but more if out drinking or if I was stressed. I found e-cigs about 3 years ago but they were the little rechargeable types with throw-away cartridges. I didn't think much of them and soon went back to rollies. I tried many times with lozenges and gum, and while it did work, I really just missed that hand-to-mouth action and the feeling of actually smoking, inhaling etc. Then I found this forum and cannot believe how much e-cigs have come along in only a couple of years. Absolutely love them and have not even thought about having a fag in a good 2 weeks now. I hope I never go back to fags. I always hated the smell of it in my hair and on my clothes. I never smoked indoors but it still clings to you. Gross. Now I vape away and no nasty taste in my mouth or smell on my clothes. I feel free!
I started off with a basic ego battery and a ce4 refillable clearomiser. It was excellent for starting me off into the world of vaping. Now I have 3 different types and numerous bottles of ready-made e-liquids. There just aren't enough hours in the day to try them all. Have a browse around and ask away all your questions. There are plenty of knowledgeable peeps on here. They are awesome!
