Good Morning Hidey Hole Fisherfolk and welcome to KBV radio, the sounds of the old, the new and the "ODD"...........It is a fine morning with temperatures hovering around well...........it is a brisk morning anywho. This new radio programming is a result of the many questions I get and perhaps will help new and old vapers. And If it don't apply, Let it fly and move on to the next station.....ahem.........as many know, I found my first e-cig in a mall in Florida in 2008 and knew nothing about this new toy. I did come to realize that while the hardware was bad, the idea was good and I began an internet search which led me to ECF and onto the reviews. I needed to find someone to tell me what to buy and where and what joose to buy and from where. The question seemed quite simple to me. What and where???? After three years and thousands of reviews later and a bit of behind the scenes intel........*Yeah, I sit in the toilet stalls with my feet up at vape meets and listen*...........This is what the
MOD HO KNOWS about reviews.
First, the reviewer only has his/her own smoking experience to draw from. You may be a completely different kind of smoker than he/she. Is best IMO to ask a veteran you have followed and agree with and like about your personal situation via PM or IRC chat. You are an individual and need what is best for you, not a new toy or something that worked for a 3 PPD smoker that smoked camels without a filter that loves harsh throat hit.
Second, Know where and how the reviewer obtained said hardware or e-liquid. SURPRISE! Many so called "reviewers" are friends of the vendor who is giving them a FREE mod or FREE joose! Yes! sad but true. IMHO, a reviewer should not know the vendors name or affiliation when doing a review and no subsidies should be involved. Many "Fan boys/girls" would love kitty poo joose with smelly sock undertones if it had the name of their fave vendor on it. A good review IMO contains a regular vaper, purchased hardware or e-liquid and an honest opinion.
Third: A good review should not contain opinion unless it is stated as opinion. I love the reviewer that reviews an e-liquid that states "it tastes musty." I have tasted it and get no musty and can not tell you from the other side of the screen.."Hey, he has no taste buds, he has been vaping for 14 days".........I love sardines, If I reviewed them I would say they have a slightly fishy odor and smooth texture and taste heavenly. Do you run out and buy sardines?

You have an experience of sardines but none of the said hardware or e-liquid. Don't believe the hype. Find a reviewer that is inline with your tastes and stick with that one or a few of the same. Caveat emptor!
Last.........*Yeah, this is a long program*....There is no accounting for taste. A good e-liquid to one is "smelly sock" to another. Look for someone with alive taste buds, a history of likes AND DISLIKES and watch where said reviewer lives on ECF.........watch where they frequent, where they post and what they say via history and make your decision carefully. All reviewers are not equal.........or fair.............or even nice. Some hold grudges and some have axes to grind. Some are on the payroll of an e-tailer............some have permanent jobs that started with being a reviewer. There are many good reviewers out there, but the best reviewer is you and your taste and your experience.
This program has been brought to you by KBV radio (although the content is in no way the opinion of, endorsed by or paid by KBV)......Kick bass Vapor..........the best joose, the best service and the best flavor............Let KBV lure you in and Kick your Bass!
