For what it's worth, my wife is a "non-technical" vaper, she "doesn't want to look under the hood (or bonnet)", she "just wants to drive".
She finally switched from her beloved Ego-T a couple of weeks ago, but she picked up squonking in no time, I think she's flooded her RM2 once in that time, and no dry hits that she's mentioned. Once you understand what you're trying to do (how much liquid you want in the wick), and do it a couple of times with the driptip off so you can watch, it's a piece of cake.
