While I do like my eGo Twist I wouldn't recomend a VV to someone just getting started. . While it might seem better to just jump right in and get a "better' battery because you might feel like you will save some money.. You wont be saving that much. The idea is to get away from smoking and the Volt is more than enough to do that.
With the Volt starter kit you will get 5 carto's to get you started with, while I don't like comparing ecigs to analogs, 1 carto is about 1 pack (give or take). So you will start off w/ about a 5 pack equiv if you purchase the kit which drops the price then add the 15% coupon code. I would recomend starting off w/ 2 batteries atleast
Don't think that you have to quit analogs the second you get a ecig, some people can/do, you can smoke and vape. IMO and from helping other switch, I ask them to treat vaping like they treat smoking. . Most people I have helped don't smoke inside their home. I ask them to not sit inside and vape all day, set the ecig down and when you feel that "I need a smoke" feeling then try vaping instead. It really is that simple.
Don't be put off by the weight of the ecig when compared to the weight of an analog, after a while you wont even notice the weight difference. Remember to drink plunty of fluids when vaping as it tends to dry you out.
