Most beginning vapors know little if anything about resistance, ohm rating, voltage/wattage, etc. At least a moderate amount of understanding of these terms and how they interrelate with each other is a necessity. Basic knowledge of battery safety is also necessary. RBA's have a considerably higher learning curve than a clearomizer or a Vivi Nova tank. Even a cartomizer tank.
Sure this requires a slight bit of extra learning, an hour of reading if that, will cover everything needed about
resistance, ohm rating, voltage/wattage, etc
They don't work right out of the box and require a willingness to tinker with something to get it to work if first attempts fail. It requires some effort on the part of the user to self educate themselves, observing by reading or watching videos on how successful users had gotten their results. Users must learn how to oxidize stainless steel mesh and wire. How to roll a wick and wrap a coil.
This doesn't change from new user to long time vapor, they still need to make the same effort to learn to use a RBA when stepping up from a cig-like or clearo, etc.
Does vaping make people more able to do the research? How long must I vape before I am able to do the necessary research?
Most newcomers do not want to get involved in this process. They are coming from lighting a cigarette and going. Beginning vaping setups are hard enough for a new vapor to gain a grasp on, let alone get into the complexity of RBA's.
The majority of new vapors are not prepared to jump into an RBA.
It's your opinion that they don't want to get involved in the "complexity" of a RBA. Many posts I have read by people expressing an interest in RBA's are dismissed because the user is new. They shouldn't be told it's not for them because they are new. Explain it to them or link them to other threads, youtube vids, etc, that explain how RBA's work. Let them decide if it is beyond their abilities.
What do you think the time frame is that someone should be vaping before they try it?
There is no argument to be made here.
You are just stating your opinion on the matter, or just regurgitating someones opinion you heard in the past. All opinions are open for discussion.
Your questioning of this concept reveals your lack of understanding of the different levels of beginner, intermediate, and advanced vaping.
No, it shows my understanding that people have different technical abilities. I'm sure there are people that have been vaping for years that wouldn't be able to get a RBA working, just as there will be people that haven't ever vaped before that can start with a RBA and have great success.
In my opinion the success or failure has little to do with the length of time someone has been vaping, it depends on the persons technical ability and drive to learn. Since they are here asking questions I'd rather give them the benefit of the doubt, rather then assume it's beyond them.
