They recently had a thread on "Reddit" about reviewers and not surprisingly most said they would have no problem "selling out" for the right type or amount of compensation.

I said at least your honest because it's so rare these days , tell me the truth straight up and you will earn my respect. Most do not tell the truth because they are so terrified of offending somebody.

I understand that but to be a respected and trusted reviewer you cannot under any circumstances be afraid to offend people . If you tell the truth your going to offend people , there's no getting around that .

Never tell people what they want to hear if it's not true , yes, you will get your a_ _ kicked when you get asked the inevitable " does my .... look big in these jeans" but she will eventually appreciate the honesty.
The most important thing is HONESTY... If you get busted taking the cash then it's to late for disclosure. None of the pay2play clique are admitting any wrongdoing Btw.... They're just fuming at Todd for exposing them. I love todd, been subbed since the Manhattan days. Busardo, igetcha69 rubyroo and grimm green round out my top 5,

igetcha wow i got new teeth69. Those weren't cheap.

Necessary.

The old reviewers - those that have been there from the start, when getting liquid into a carto involved the Taryn spin. Same question now.

"what's it like to vape on and is it worth my money?"

"i'd buy it" - good enough for me.

Reviewers are a lot like politicians. I'm sure most of them get into it with an honest desire to do a public service. But the longer they're around, and the more popular they get, the potential to be bought increases. Some succumb to it; some don't. But the ones that do, usually get found out eventually.

Then why do they ask , to hope you slip up and say "yes, it looks very large actually " so they can open a can of whoop a _ _ on you ?

I don't know. All men have criticized mine for not being big enough. I try not to mention it at all, ever.

Two have told me to "eat donuts or something." One demanded I get implants. I didn't even know there was such a thing.

I watch Pbusardo, Mark Todd, Grimmgreen and Scott Bonner. I trust and value their opinions. I used to watch vapingwithtwisted420 but he was talking the other day about going to a vape meet.. meeting his fans and signing autographs, he even quit his day job... all that kinda put me off.

This email was explained by Fagan as an offer of compensation for moving their review to the front of the reviewer's queue, not payment for a positive review. He didn't review the juice, but like everything else, take that with a grain of salt.
He did a live review of the juice...

Twisted lost me when he used the kiddie cartoon teenage ninja mutant turtle logo on his box mod.....maybe I'm just an old out of touch vaper but that really bothered me.

I don't trust any YouTube reviewers in one-way or another they have faults I use the reviews just to get a look at stuff I may be interested in then go to forums to get a realistic opinion it can take time but so far it hasn't steered me wrong

Where do you find these people lol ? These guys sound like the type of vermin that think it's perfectly OK to send a woman close up pic's of their junk .

It is mind boggling to me that guys have been known to do this , i mean C, MON!!!!

I can only handle Busardo when i have needed to watch a video .

When i have attempted to watch others as soon as it starts i throw up my hands and shield my face and eyes like a vampire does when having the Holy Cross shoved in their face.

I just can't take it and have to rush to my bedroom and lay down for awhile.

Taste preferences are totally subjective. That's why I don't watch online flavor reviews or spend much time in the E-Liquid Sub-Forum. For me, its a waste of time.

I still enjoy watching PBusardo review hardware. I believe he's honest and does a very thorough (some say TOO thorough) review with pro's & con's.
Just watched a Phil review on the Cubis RDA.

Wait does grim green have a day job.
Nick had a 3rd shift job at one time back a couple moves ago..don't know about now. I've not heard him refer to himself in celebrity terms though. Referring to viewers as fans and talking about signing autographs is a turn off for me.
