    I read the reviews from this forum's E-cigarette Reviews. It has written reviews from ECF members who've actually used and tested out the product. I also find a reviewer who vapes in the same style as me.

    I also go through the thread on the product I'm after - you get plenty of tips and advice on whether it will suit you or not.

    YouTube - I use only as a building guide for RTAs ;)

    We expect a YT review on that mod before you take it outta the box & after you spend the $ deposited in your account @Vapedog !
    Absolutely. Ill reveiw the box first, how nice it looks, how great it feels. My experience paying for it. How advanced that box is and how it's the most flavour imparting vape box I've held to date. I'll show how to open it too. That's very important. Then, before I put batteries in the mod I'll tell everyone how awesometastic it is. :)

    Sadly most I agree, lots seem over hyped overrated etc, and makes most reviewer created items way to in the clouds. Like seems they side with each other and make each other's items seem amazing. You also have to keep in mind these reviewers might see 60+ items a month and you as a buyer will see 0~3 if that.

    You have to also keep in mind personal preference is a big thing why so many company's/items exist.
    And some of these company's are parent company's to other's with a different name and will suffer most the same flaws.

    I only used coil heads for a short time before making my own coils and never looked back. I can say the same about tanks/dripping overall once there where rdta's there was no looking back imo, even more so after squonking hit mainstream.

    pbusardo is about the only one i actually watch,he tells you about the product and most times after he has been using it for a few days ,but still i don't base my purchase on him,or any reviewer
    i cone here to see what is hyped the most ?? and stay the F away from that product

    Same here. PBusardo will recap what he likes and dislikes and what he'd like to see changed. That's helpful.

    If a reviewer just raves about this new and wonderful piece of vape gear and has no list of pros and cons, it's more of a car salesman commercial than it is a review. Any info can be helpful, but I like to hear likes and dislikes, comparisons to other gear, and recommendations for improvement before I plunk down $75.

    I always trust when a reviewer says, "If Aliens came and took all my vape equipment, would I buy one of these ?(mod or rda/rta they are reviewing). Meanwhile, there are so many mods and devices behind them on the wall that an alien would need 10 space shuttles to steal everything. It's just so unrealistic.
