[New to vaping, help!]

Well, I ended up going to a shop today, and bought an itaste with a protank 3, and so far I've really liked it, all except the issue of the e juice leaking onto the battery... The girl at the shop even put it all together and showed me how to set it up, and I'm still on the same tank that she filled for me.. I just noticed when I took the tank off to put it in the case when I was going to work that there was a significant amount of liquid on the battery. I just spent $125 on this setup and don't really want that to go to waste...

Oh, and if you would be able to provide links to where to buy these things, that would also be appreciated!

[New to vaping, help!]

To start off, I just started vaping earlier this week, by buying a cheap vape at a gas station, just to try to quit smoking cigarettes, because I've tried basically all other methods in the past (regular disposable e-cigs, gum, colt turkey, etc.) I bought this cheap one just to try it out, to see if I would like it, if it would help at all, and then I would buy a decent one. I've looked through a few threads on here, but really have no clue as to what I'm looking at, or what I should be looking for. If someone could point me in the right direction as to a good starter kit, that's reasonably priced (I would like to spend less than $150 when it's all said and done.) And explain the difference between clearomizers and tanks, and also what difference the resistance makes. I would like to have one that lasts at least 12 hours or so, whether that would be a few batteries, or just a single one that lasts a while. Basically I just want you guys to tell me what I should by, how much, and why, haha.

Thanks in advance guys!
