If it's going to be your first vape (and even if it isn't), I would recommend the VaporBrothers brand. Specifically the non-hands free version but that's just me. It's not too pricey, but extremely reliable (and very nice-looking). Getting the right hit can take a little practice, but after trying many different styles and brands, I've settled with VB.

Also, if you're not looking for something intense like the Volcano, the VB is quite nice because it has a ceramic mineral heater which heats up fast and is completely non-toxic and metal-free... save your lungs!
