This Sunday I will be going over to a family members house to teach her about RBAs. She's been vaping on egos and clearos on and off for awhile now I got her interested in RBAs after she tried one of mine. The reason I've been trying to get her to switch to specifically RDAs is that she really likes high VG liquid so the clearos and such she was using were taking her to dry hit city and weakening her will to vape. Her vaping knowledge is extremely limited but she is by no means an unintelligent person so I think by the time I leave her house on Sunday she will join the rda club.

Now for why I made this post, I've yet to educate somebody about RBAs from the ground up, any suggestions on how I should go about explaining everything and anything that I need to cover but might forget?

1. Ohms , reading ohms, what ohms means.
2. Battery safety
3. Coiling and wicking with various materials.

from point 3 on i'd advise she get into it hands on. And RDA's and RBA's.. give her a good idea on whats out there.. mods/RBA's/RDA's .. manual dripping, bottom feeding (if she really digs dripping a reo comes to mind ;). But think the main part is getting the build portion explained properly.

Which atty were you vaping that she liked and which atty are you going to introduce her to?

1/2/3 OF COURSE! :) Those are the basics, give me some credit here. I have MUCH more vaping gear than I should, granted the majority are mechs and RDAs but I have a kayfun, a few protanks, a REO ;) and some other stuff... so she will definitely be exposed to a ton. I'm probably just going to bring out the RDAs an see if she gets overwhelmed and go from there.

Well she tried my Valkyrie (authentic one, i love it so much <3). The closest non-hybrid device I have to the Valkyrie deck/chamber is the Atomic. I plan on having her try to build on the Helios first though since it's stupid easy to build on. Then maybe move up to the Atomic, or an IGO-L. She's only going to be building single 1.8+ ohm coils for now I think because all she has are ego batteries. So I think she'll be fine with the IGO-L, we'll see. She might end up wanting to get a mech and everything. If she ends up wanting to buy some gear we'll probably make a trip to a local vape shop, depending on how much she wants to spend and what she want's to get.

Yes.

You did not mention the power source / mod.

If you stick to just rda and coiling and wicking at regular ohm, she won't be overwhelmed.
