Comfortablenumbs advice is probably the best for a complete beginner. Top a bowl with extract first before spending lots of money on pens, rigs or e-rigs!
Concentrate/extract/dab whatever you want to call it, is basically efficiently filtered hash which should, in principal, be stronger than weed/trad commercial hash (caveat: garbage in equals garbage out but luckily most LB vendors sell high quality extracts). Unlike normal hash, extracts come in a variety of textures but are mostly the same in potency. The textures range from oil to waxy to 'boiled sweet' hardness (called shatter). As a beginner I would choose something easy to work with like, shatter, crumble or budder to avoid undue stickiness and waste (even these can be sticky, but hopefully the vendor's description or advice will help here!)
I highly recommend the Mixed Strain Sugar Wax from Certified, on promo, $50 for 3.5g - it is very good value for money, potent and the texture is very 'touch crumble trad hash' and is very easy to work with fingers. All our tolerances are different but a rice grain size is enough for me (roughly double+ the amount of trad hash would compare).

I actually like the Lightning Pen from Rec Vapes especially as it is considerably cheaper than a lot of other brands. It is a very good starting point if you want to vape pure extracts.

I also agree with using extracts sparingly, as tolerance builds up quickly and that 'one' rice grain size dab soon becomes many large dabs (and a very light wallet). Weed and 'occasional' extracts are my beer and 'occasional' whisky but each to their own - enjoy!
