So what is the real story?

I know.

Terraphon seems like a fairly sensible bloke, I hope he'll be able to tell us what's been going on.

I agree with that. It just reeks of impropriety that he has reviews of other products that are competing with the products he is now selling.

Yes, especially when they are putting them down. How can a supplier be allowed to have clealy biased reviews on his section like http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/for...licig-evo.html and http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/for...-take-two.html yet give a thumbs up review of a similar model that he sells on his site.

Quite honestly in my opinion none of his reviews can be trusted anymore.

Exactly! And I feel for anyone who made a purchase decision based on any of his reviews.

Yeah, that's me. I ordered a Dura C after seeing his review and it might actually be a great e-cig but I feel conned because I thought I was seeing an independent review rather than potential marketing b.s.

And were you considering any of the other e-cigs that he doesn't sell, but did reviews for?

Videos-

No i don't think my videos should come down I gave them a fair shake if a product sucks i will tell you no matter what company it is. I have done this on a few models etc..... My videos are how I started and should stay up i believe this is a part of "Parked" and who I am.

Also 75% of these videos were done before I knew I was getting in the business.

Wow.

That's pretty condemning.

Honesty is always the best policy. Wish he would have been up-front with it.

Actually the other e-cig I was considering was the ladypipe (also because of his review) so I guess either way I would have been a sucker. I thought he was one of the "good guys" here on the forum. With that said, if I had known his bias beforehand I may have simply kept modding and using the e-cigs I've been building happily and saved myself a few bucks.
