Do it. I've been on mine since January and cut the amount of real cigs I smoke down to about 4 a day, more if I drink in the evenings. Plus I love smoking it at my desk.

ElGuapo gave me his old kit. It's just an ego, which is a pretty good starting place. I recommend not even getting the kit and getting a couple batteries and atomizers. I'm not the best with this shit but this is what I have now:

The thing that does the stuff: http://www.stevenswholesale.com/5-pack-CE4-eGo-1-6ml-1-8ohm-...

The battery that makes the thing do its stuff: http://www.stevenswholesale.com/eGo-C-Twist-Voltage-650mAh-B...

The thing that charges the battery: http://www.stevenswholesale.com/Joyetech-eGo-eGo-T-eGo-C-Fas...

(standard usb, get a wall charger as well unless you have like 80 laying around like I do.)

Juices: http://www.stevenswholesale.com/24-mg-electronic-liquids-s/1...

Note the mg. That's how strong, nicotine wise, they are. You probably want something high since you've been smoking for a while. I like watermelon and dr pepper. There are really awesome juice sellers out there. Just got some great recommendations for epic juices over here: http://www.reddit.com/r/electronic_cigarette/comments/1b1yaw.../

Or you can just get a starter kit: http://www.stevenswholesale.com/Electronic-Cigarette-Starter...

Which has everything in it in multiples. Once you get the hang of it you can buy the bits and pieces as needed.
