Many of the better tube style mods will run a bit more at first, there are plenty of options though. They can get big, but as soon as you try it, you'll love it. One of the mods I recommend to people for cost is the VAMO. A lot of people like it and for a beginner it is easy to use. From there a tank and a cartomizer is a good idea as they are easy to manage and they can hold a lot of juice, so you wont have to worry much about refilling often.
The EGO is also a good choice as it is cheaper than the VAMO and smaller. Though, buying your own juice and refilling it is the most cost effective method, plus there are so many awesome juices out there that are -so- much better than what comes in the Blu's or N-Joy's. Plus, a bottle will last much longer and is far cheaper. You'll save a lot of money with just buying the juice and using a cart and tank.
A good vape shop is a good thing to have near you, as many of them sell juices, carts, and tanks too. I often use my local shops to restock on that stuff, while going online to order the actual e-cigs. Plus, as mssween said, many of those that work there know about the industry and all that is available, they'll have set-ups to try all kinds of stuff that you are just hearing about here.
