Nicely said Devonmoonshire. Now forgive me as I share my unpopular opinions.
But I have to take exception to the "I review it like a customer would" ... #1 you are not the average customer, you are a reviewer. #2 No matter what the powers that be think/say/or how we twist the wording to avoid a ban on e-cigs, the average customer is looking for a PV that will give them the benefits of quitting smoking. The average customer couldn't care less about what the FDA thinks about the manual. The average customer just wants to know how it will work, what is good and what is bad about it. And the average customer will most likely have not even read the manual. They go to youtube to be told how to do things, rather than read the manual and figure it out themselves.
And just for the record, the most recent Go-Go I purchased from Cigeasy had a photocopied partial manual included, minus the health benefits/smoking cessation propaganda.
I find this hilarious because it's just a game we are playing to keep the FDA from classifying this as a drug. Well, guess what, folks, nicotine is a drug. I would guess that about 90% of people using vaporizers are doing so to quit smoking. And there are more and more people out there abusing nicotine every day .. vaping insane levels like 36mg/48mg/56mg as their tolerance builds up and they need a stronger "fix" WE haven't begun to see the affects of this yet.
Just my opinion. Not looking for a fight.
I know, I know, we all want to say "this is not a smoking cessation device, it's an alternative to smoking" .. but in reality .. how many of you started so you could quit? Look in the new members forum, everyday there are 10-20 posts about which e-cig to buy so they can quit smoking. I may be the Queen of Denial, but sometimes, you just have to face reality.
Personally, I never watch reviews (or anything else) on youtube. I guess I am just one of those rare beings who tends to make up her own mind, doesn't need to be told what is good and what isn't by complete strangers who probably could not be objective if their lives depended on it. To truly be objective, once must first be capable of admitting their bias. Not many folks can do that.
Big fan of thinking for yourself. Try it --- you might like it.
And here's some food for thought. I set my cartomizer on my bed one day, and when I picked it up about an hour later, there was a cat hair stuck in it. Not just stuck to the outside, but it was worked down in between the paper covering and the cartomizer itself. I had to peel the carto paper off to get it out of there. I have cats. So who knows where the "hair" came from. Did the person who send it to you have animals? Oh wait, you said it was pre-filled ... well, even so, hairs happen. Do you expect all chinese workers to shave all their body hair to process these? Perhaps they should only hire bald guys to work in their factories. I have found mystery hairs in a lot of things ... doesn't mean they are bad products.
I
my Go-Go!
