So I’m trying to quit cigarretes but I want to try out e-cigs I like the ment flavored ones, and I don’t understand the whole concept like once I buy the pack do I have to buy new batteries or how does it work, which e-cig would be the best for that flavor and cheap so I could keep smoking it

Basic concept: a battery, a juice delivery system, and in between the atomizer that is powered by the battery and vaporizes the juice.
Disposables are not rechargeable, usually not refillable, and are the worst example of vaping equipment and over time the most expensive. I’ve seen some so high it’s cheaper to smoke, even with the cost of eventual lung cancer. I’ve seen $15 disposables, and reusable kits for only $5 more.
Minis are like disposables, but rechargeable and you can either buy new cartomizers for them prefilled, buy empties to fill yourself, or refill the prefilled once they are empty. They are cigarette sized batteries so the charge doesn’t last long and they won’t produce a large amount of vapor.
The cigar sized batteries, “fat batts”, are usually eGos or KGOs, and have a much longer charge and provide more power for more vapor. They have buttons rather than an automatic feature that many minibats have, so juice can’t get into the circuits and short out the battery. You can usually use the same cartomizers as most minis use, but many people choose to use clearomizers or carto tanks, which hold much more juice, usually a day’s worth for most people.
The cheapest method is making your own juice, which you never want to attempt until you’re pretty familiar with vaping. E-juice is basically nicotine, propylene glycol, glycerin, and flavorings, and all of those ingredients are easy to buy in bulk. You do need to be familiar with what concentrations of nicotine are safe to work with and where it gets more dangerous, what precautions need to be taken, and which flavors are not safe and need to be avoided.
