In the almost 4 years I have been vaping, most video reviews I have watched, the only thing I can say is that the person knows how to use a video camera and a computer and many, even that is poor. With few exceptions, Dan and Quig come to mind. It is a shame, maybe a poll on reviewers. I see so many quote a review as if it was true fact and miss out on a product that is actually very good. I recommend to all newbies to take reviews with a grain of salt.
How about a review of reveiwers

I like PBusardo's reviews for technical specifications and numbers, GrimmGreen for a more personal point of view aswell as Lord Davon. If I like a certain device I will look at the reviews and make an educated decision if it's for me and what I really want. I dont have the luxury to send back a device thats broken or I just dont like.
grimmgreen is my favorite, he makes it easy to understand and seems to have fun with it
pbusardo is funny sometimes...but some of the longer videos and technical analysis isn't for me
basilray is good and his videos are easy to follow as well

I don't know why, but LordDavon bugs the living hell out me. I can't even watch his reviews, something about his body language or his manner, I don't know. He's...kinda smug and condescending, I think.
More to the topic at hand, it's not a bad idea. Separate the wheat from the chaff, as they say.

I love grimmgreens reviews but recently I haven't been able to stop watching busardo's. I really enjoy his humor and his charts. Those two are definitely on high rotation at the house and my fiancé couldn't be more annoyed lol.
Lord Davon should hang it up after the gotvapes fiasco tbh, he semed to be covering for the vendor.........
Basilray, igetcha69, and Pbusardo are the best IMHO......

Only "problem" I have with igetcha69 is that I can hardly make out what he is saying from time to time but his reviews are well structured, good camera quality and just a pleasure to watch.
I enjoy Dave Kitson most of all, and watch most anything from Steeljan and Pbusaro. Some of Dave's best reviews happen within the Vapourtrails show. I like objectivity, lots of specs, a visual teardown and some fun in reviews. Phil's dislike of anything like a clearomiser led me to watching clearo fan Lord Davon, but only to get a take on new clearo stuff. I enjoy igetcha69 at times, now even more with his new grille!
I want to say I appreciate all the people who work hard to try to put a good review together. Not the quick and dirty cameraphone stuff, but the ones who work to make it entertaining and visually effective. The good ones will later annotate or do an update review to clarify or correct things, and I value that. They've given me a virtual test drive of many things and saved me from making a bunch of expensive mistakes, as well as a few laughs along the way.

What fiasco?
I watch a lot of them, and follow all of the above except I never heard of Dan & Quig (and can't find anything e-cig related on youtube) or Dave Matson, but I'll check him out.
Not sure I really have a favorite, but there's a couple more I'd add:
Evelwmn -- kind of everywoman/everyman non-technical perspective, and I enjoy her droll sense of humor. I think her recent video on rebuilding a Phoenix atomizer is particularly lol-funny.
Aerovapor -- seems like he & Evelwmn have become "reviewer soul mates" of sorts, they review many of the same products and bounce off of each other's reviews. His recent review of the ADAM pv is pretty entertaining.

Since I started vaping, I've been enjoying the reviews from PBusardo and Grimmgreen.
I started making my own videos as kind of a journal but I have reviewed a bunch or juices and even demonstrated a couple different things. I try to add a little humor to make it a little easier to watch my completely unprofessional videos.

My favorites are GrimmGreen, Steel Jan and Mergryphon! I subscribe to them on Youtube and always watch their videos on the weekly updates I get. Igetcha69 is hard for me to understand and it just seems he does way too many for me to keep up with. I don't know how he has time to do so many reviews.
Field of vapor except the twist review lol, Optimo, budget buddy vaping..etc etc and whoever else I come across that' seems honest regardless of their technical knowledge. I love it when people say juices tastes like crap or aren't worth the hype lol. O ya dog and clay!

I like Igetcha69 for his perfect close-ups of new gear, it enables me to quickly judge the build quality. Mergryphon does a nice, quick and good job on her reviews. I really can't stomach the 'nervous giggles' types like SteelJan and Lord Davon.
One thing for sure I'm so tired of all the explanations and caveats involved when comparing American volts to Chinese volts.

PBusardo, FieldOfVapor, igetcha69 (although keeping up with the british accent is hard), and USED to follow GrimmGreen, but his constant burping in videos is too disgusting to me
There is also BasilRay, he does a good, no nonsense job and seems to understand things much better than many of the new breed. And he also has all of his teeth.
His fashion sense is a bit lacking though.
BTW watching pbusardo try to wrap a coil is cringe-worthy.

Isn’t reviewing Kinda a Multi Edged Sword?
I mean if you Slam a Company’s Product you run the Risk of Not Being sent anymore Free Cartos/PV. And is there an Incentive to do Poor Reviews about Products that Companies do Not Send you for Free?
Seems like there is Some Politics involved in Some Reviewers Review. Not Most. But Some.
I liked it better in the Old Days when Average Members did Reviews. Didn’t have to be a Flashy U-Tube Product. Just a average Members saying what is Good and Bad for Them about a Product.

You mean like Amajnn?
Mooby was the one of first of the ruination of reviews, some are shills and/or never air negative reviews when stuff sucks, that's not really doing the community a bit of good though they may think so....
