Whenever i want to watch a video about vaping it tickles my nerves when they repeatedly pause to take a vape hit. In general i am annoyed with review/instruction videos that waste my time. Most videos out there has 10 times more duration than it has to be. GET TO THE POINT!!!

Ok.. Maybe i am irrational, but anyone else find this frustrating? If i where a more ambitious man i would make a channel called "get to the {moderated} point" and make various instruction videos that is compressed to only what is relevant and to the point.

If you don't like the videos don't watch them.
Or maybe make your own videos but I think it is a little bit wrong to complain about vaping review videos, these guys put a lot of time and effort reviewing products for free so we can all make an informed choice. You should be grateful that they do it at all so stop complaining. There is such a thing as a fast forward.
Personally I like the fact that they take the time to bring us as much information as possible, better than rushing through a review and leaving out vital information.

    Not trying to be a smart .... or anything (If it seems that way, I came by it naturally and don't mean it in a bad way. ;) )

    But, to be perfectly fair, it is a vape video... o_O:) I mean I guess, if after every word they'd take a puff, I'd be annoyed too. But I guess they want it a bit more chillaxed, rather than be all super proper and stuff... Then I'd definitely fall asleep. :D

    some videos.... i don't even get why they bothered to upload... i don't mind them vaping, after all that is the point... but the out of focus, out of camera view, too far away, bad angles, poor or no audio, or f-bombing every second word(which would be fine if it wasn't for the rest)... there's way too many of those. sometimes i'll have to spend an hour just trying to find one that will show me what i am trying to see/learn/watch a review for.

    That's why I asked fo suggestions on another thread. So I didn't have to sift through them all

    I would posit that YouTube is a form of communication and not just for entertainment consumption.

    Perhaps someone talking about a subject without partaking is efficient, however there are non verbal aspects to communicating ones style and emotion at play as well... Although they could just be trying to look cool.. in which case f them.

    the ones i'm talking about.. are either reviews or so called how to wrap/build etc videos... so you'd think they'd try and make them decent and useful... nope just the cool factor probably.

    My girl and her daughter watch many makeup tutorials and reviews. I wonder how that would go if they didn't use the product.

    There are only 6 or 8 reviewers i will watch regularly: Rip, Phil, Matt, grim, djlsb, Mike, and a couple of the ladies whose names escape me.

    I dislike the bad camera angles and people who just seem unprepared when they go to shoot the video. If i am wasting my time to see what you have to say about a mod, I expect you to know everything about it! and clip your damn nails!

    I don't mind reviewers vaping but i can't help but cringe when they lean back from the camera so that the oral ejaculate goes full screen. Oh and when they suck in a lungful and a half while squinting their eyes. Oh and when their eyes follow the vapour with a 'see how cool i am' smugness......
    I don't watch many reviews.

    Many of the reviewers are so out there I try not to watch many of them at all myself but that is my choice. Although today I was looking for some info saw a well dressed young man who spoke professionally and did a nice pleasant informative review. So I looked who it was and it was by Aspen Valley Vapes and I had to send Cory an email because I was impressed by the professionalism displayed. Some screaming madman or some slob I have to click close and just can't watch.

    I left those behind along time ago. I have very limited band width. In the early days it was helpful to watch a few for this or that, but they are mostly a waist of MY time at this point. But I recommend them to new vapers for both reviews and learning those things they don`t have easy access to.

    Maybe you should let them know you don't like their reviews. Tell them how to personalise just to your liking.
    There is plenty of crap on the internet but no one is forcing you to look at it.
    Jesus if you don't like a reviewer don't watch their reviews, it's simple.

    If the reviewer is honest and accurate I don't think there is any such thing as a bad review. Have you considered that they may not be privileged enough to have good quality video and audio equipment and may not have the best production quality and experience. But they are there giving up their own time trying to give folks like us information about products FOR FREE.
    We should all be grateful for any review out there not complaining that you don't like them.

    Next you'll be complaining that there are too many reviews in languages you don't understand.
