Why are his reviews ALWAYS so loooooonnnnngggg?!? Sheesh. If it takes 46 minutes to explain it, it's too complicated for me. I get tired head after about 10 minutes at the most.

And they keep getting longer. He usually has contests and shout outs to people and other worthless stuff.

I think I'd rather spend 20 seconds reading what April says about her VF, or what Robin says about her P3, or even what Hula says about T2's than watch some chunky middle aged guy wave his hands around for 10 minutes before he actually begins discussing the posted topic.

Maybe a little too harsh, but really not a fan.....

Hey Hey.. give the man a break! He did cover the primary differences between the current and the new version in 2 minutes. The rest are details! Some of us like details.. :p

I completely agree... If you don't want the details... watch someone else. It's no reason to dis someone just because their style doesn't exactly suit your own. No one forces you to have to think and/or try to understand stuff. I prefer to have content I can learn from and not remain ignorant on a subject that interests me.

Papaw/Pappy, no disrespect intended with my earlier post. Not trying to stir up a crap storm in here, but if you really take the time to look at the reviewers out there, I think you'll find that there are a very few who actually consistently take the time to work through the details of what they are reviewing.

Busardo is one of the best when it comes to details (with a few exceptions).

Celebrity he may be in the vaping world, but I've met the man and sat and chatted with him at a table with a few other friends, and he's just one of us. There were no airs put on, there was no ego in play. He gets excited and worried about the same stuff that affects us all. That's what I like best about him. Through it all, he's maintained his humility and that tells me that he's a guy I can respect.

Plus, like I said earlier, I like details. :)

I'm not dissing him. I like PB much better than most of the hipsters and would-be comedians that do vape gear reviews. His reviews have good production value and he gives a lot of details. I just find his reviews tedious sometimes.

    Being an introvert myself... I enjoy reflecting on a subject... I'm also pretty much OCD, so again details are of higher importance to me. So what others find or complain about something like that as being "tedious" and such... I'm a bit put off by it some since I'm often the same way ( detail oriented ).... It's the ole "one man's trash is another man's treasure" I guess.

    Have you ever watched people watching television ? Slack jaw, eyes glazed over...
    I will watch football games and action flicks. That's about it. I would much rather read a well written article, or even better have a discussion, than watch a screen.
    So, yea, I'd prefer the Hardware Thread over vaping videos. Every day.

    $223 Paper weight. Until I get Dusty's package. All of my attachments are Bottom Feed.
    USPS Tracking shows Dusty's package leaving Chicago IL late last night. Maybe tomorrow or Saturday...

    I also just paid $25 for an LP Conversion on what used to be a VV Grand. I'll have to check it out, maybe send a few emails back and forth, but if it requires a spacer or a 'Kick', then I might just throw it up on the classies and cut my losses.

    Damn, I really liked that Mod, too. Maybe that's why Rob quit making VV Mods.
