The blog only links to the videos and to the relevant product manufacturers' and vendors' sites, with zero extra written information.
EDIT: Ah, I didn't see the photos. I stand corrected then

If there's a Pbusardo video on hardware I'm interested in, that's what I watch to get the info I need on the product. I've never regretted it. If he has not reviewed it and I have to rely on other reviewers I have to be more careful.
Now that's me and as always, YMMV.

Phil is at the top of my list which is as follows in order of best to least though it matters more what they are reviewing:
PBusardo
RiP Trippers
VapingwithTwisted420
Todd ecigreviews
ABloodyGoodVaping (half of the safe vapers crew)
Suck my mod
I also listen to the following depending on subject they are reviewing in no particular order.
Ruby Roo
Vapingreek
GrimmGreen
PBusardo
RiP Trippers
VapingwithTwisted420
Todd ecigreviews

I wish I could. Youtube is mostly dreadful.
Look, I'm not bitter - why should I be, these guys haven't done me wrong in any way. Or maybe I did come across as bitter, as I was rather drunk yesterday when I wrote my rant
My beef is, before Youtube, reviews consisted of a text article with photos. The photos were framed, and the text was written to convey as much relevant information as possible. You could print and share the reviews, or speed-read through them and skip the information you didn't need, and they were all about whatever was reviewed and nothing else.
Instead of that, reviewers now sit in front of a camera and yammer away to deliver information, the real meat of which could be summed up with 3 photos and a half page article. How lazy is that?
Video is great to show things like building a coil or installing a wick. But to review a mod, a battery, a RBA or a juice, video is the wrong medium. To get to the real information, you have to sit through the guy's antics for endless minutes - if there's any real information to be found at all.
Whenever I look for reviews about a vaping product I'm considering buying, I first Google the product. Sometimes I'm lucky and I find a simple webpage that describes it all. More often than not however, all I find is a kajillion videos, and my heart sinks: Aww Gawd, I have to endure an hour of pooly made videos with talking heads who won't stop yacking and get to the freakin point already...
I have nothing against PBusardo, the bad teeth smoke ring guy, the scottish guy, the bearded coil guy, the stoner guy and all the other video guys. After all, all the stuff I bought, I bought them after getting the information I needed from their videos. I just wish they had laid out their great knowledge of the products on paper (or rather, webpages) instead of making videos that wasted countless hours of my time. That's part of my life I'll never get back, looking at people talking. Whatever happened to proper review writing?
First and foremost you should know better to post when your hammered , thats never going to end well , and when you say your not bitter and have no beef with him comments like the below make it seem otherwise.
It's apparent you disagree with the way You Tube videos are done and they don't suit your style of data collection , either you make the best of it like everyone else or forgo them altogether .
If you find parts of a video boring then advance forward to the parts that are helpful to you , now if it was not possible to do that it would be one thing but you act like you have no choice and must watch every video in it's entirety .
Familiarize yourself with the FF option , problem solved.
I don't subscribe to any YT channels, but when I want to see a review on something I'm interested in, Phil is my go to. I find the technical bits really interesting and I love his sense of humor and that he's not above poking fun at himself (or at the manufactureres).
Mr. "Smoking is dead, vaping is the future and the future is now" can be quite good, but I wish he'd back off on the hyperactive acting and over-editing and go back to his previous style.

The question is who do you trust to give you good and solid information. All the schtick and showmanship doesn't mean a damn if you don't know what you're taling about. After that, it's personal preference. I respect P. Busardo, if he tells me something is good I believe him. Same goes for GG but he just bores me to endless tears. I really can't watch him anymore. Crush-worthy is Todd, I'm a sucker for the Scottish accent and he's like a big ol' teddy bear. He's also someone whose opinion I value. Rip, well, the other day I saw an early video and hardly recognized him. Say what you will but his videos are informative, instructive and they work. I pulled off a Tricrocoil on my first try by carefully watching his video. I get infuriated when I see someone doing a coil build video who cant zoom in properly or has half the build off screen, and that happens A LOT. As far as Twisted420, he just annoys the hell out of me. He's like a wanna-be. He fumbles, he drops things, "sonofa... mother.." I get the feeling he just does videos to show off his gear. I like RubyRoo, I respect her opinion, too.
I like PBusardo if for nothing else, the camera shots are not shakey and he does not seem to be stoned. If I start to watch a video and the camera is all over the place or shaking like it is in a hurricane, I turn it off.
Ditto on most of the above peeps
PBusardo is one reason I am so passionate about never smoking again...He has a hobby aspect to vaping as do I....Love Ruby Roo...she is so funny also...

Ruby Roo I tend to take her juice reviews with mixed results but then as they all say taste is subjective. There are other reviews I watch most are just awful. Most of those its the camera work, especially close ups and periods of dead air. Also they leave out a lot of information. An example of that is coils, not telling the gauge, size wrap and final ohms. The group listed above keep those problems to a minimum, if at all.
I LOVE PBUSARDO because he is in depth and thorough....I love Paulie Meatballs because he is brief and has fantastic close ups...
Phil is number 1 in my books. The most detailed as well funny. He is a Rock Star in the vape world for sure. If I watch a Rip video I have to advance it five minutes minimum to watch it. Once Rip calms down and stops his over acting I actually really like him too. If you check out his older vids he's so calm and relaxed lol.
