I really don't know how you read my initial post and decided I was a supporter of the device. My point has always been. You have it in your hand and they won't take it back so use it to learn what you want. The other side to your point about getting frustrated and going back to analogs is that someone comes here already mad about spending too much money and then hears the same fan boy talk about another model and how easy it is to quit. They might just stop right there and figure its BS or go out and buy the new model without learning the basics and end up frustrated again (we all know no one is going to buy a prodigy as their 1st or 2nd but even if they did think about all the complaints about fried atomizers that would cause).
I don't see the issue with patience anyway. my experience was that I was ready to chuck the idea all together until I found the equivalent of Jims thread. Thats when I decided to not make a mistake the second time and spent my time reading all the
reviews while playing around with the thing (it was alot easier reading all the
reviews 4 months ago although back then you would hear people tell you that SE is junk so maybe go buy a PeeWee from PS even though they were the exact same device). So from frustration to new order took about a week and since I ordered from CHina it took another week to get it and in that time I learned what to expect and what not to expect. Found out a little something about my taste in juice and got past a big part of the learning curve. Most of that started with understanding that it was as much my issue as the device. I know that is just the worst advice ever and you must fight that sentiment at all costs.
