Do You make Video Reviews? - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

I just watched another video review on a flavor I'd like to try...
Although a video review on "flavor" is really no different than a written review other than seeing the vape produced w/ whatever device the reviewer uses, I will watch them on occasion...

This is just a friendly suggestion to everyone who does video reviews, whether it be liquid reviews, device reviews, or informational reviews... Please do not have music playing while you review... It is distracting and hard to hear what you are saying about the product... Having music as an intro is fine and maybe to close out the review but while you are speaking, that is all we should be able to hear... Not trying to hear you speak through music...
Again, for an effective video review that can actually be helpful, can everyone please keep this in mind...
Thx!

Video reviews were required in the beginning because no one really understood what ecigs were. Seeing someone blowing vapor and talking about how much they like or dislike a model is really pointless because it is so subjective to a persons personal taste.

My favorite are the new people who think if they make a review they will be approached with free ecigs like vendors used to do.

Aaaaah! I see...
Well, I do like reviews on the hardware or informational reviews...
The Tutorial type have been helpful for me as a newbie to e-cigs... I researched quite a bit and watched very many to learn more aboutthem and what they do and how they work, along w/ tips galore in making them do one thing or another better...
I also like the hardware reviews because I can see more clearly how many of the e-cigs look... Many sites have such small pictures it is hard to see what all is involved with the particular e-cig...
This is especially helpful when I am trying to figure out what model# belongs to a certain unit...
I watched quite a few before I purchased the model I finally decided upon-
AND in some of those reviews, music in the background, or what is supposed to be the background made it very hard to hear what the person was saying... I agree all people have their own thoughts on a unit and it's performance- Where one person loves a 510 someone else doesn't and prefers a 901, etc- & even where some feel they have good vape, some others may feel that particular amount of vape is sub-par...
I listen to the reviewers assesment but then take the information I find helpful... It is just nice to be able to hear them

I just started video reviews, but i dont expect free stuff. I have been offered free stuff and I turn them down. I am not out to make reviews a business because thats gay. I do reviews because I like the comments and videos are fun to make.

Also, there is one reviewer out there (who i will not name) who has blackmailed a couple of suppliers I know into getting free stuff. He then has an intro on his video that states how honest he is. I swore I would never be like this person. Especially since one of the suppliers he did it to is sick and only has the e cig store to pay for medical bills

I am starting to do some video reveiws just because I cant get enough of being able to see the product in hand and being used. Nothing is better than that!

This thread has been closed per the request of the OP.

And just to mention....ECF does not try to deter members from making video reviews. If we did, we would just close off this board and make it a read (watch) only section....with no new contributions allowed.

Many members still find the videos informative....and some, entertaining

I would recommend those who don't like watching them....don't....and just leave them to those that do

Thank you,
Lu
