I see that many people make reviews for several mods. I understand that reviewers are not engineers so they dont understand some things and they just repeat what the manufacturer tells them when they ask them for more information.


I also see so many things on every mod that are not made right and reviewers just miss those issues, so maybe one day when I will stop making GG I will make reviews lol

If a reviewer has the wrong info or he doesnt know what exactly is happening then it would be a big help for him and for the vaping community to tell him what was wrong with his video.

So an idea came to my mind. What about making a thread to review the reviewers?


Also if a reviewer wants to ask any questions, he can do it here.


ps...... If this thread is against ecf rules, moderators can lock it

I actually think this is a great idea. A lot of reviewers have thousands of people that watch their videos and if they give some incorrect information a lot of people watching the review may follow that and buy the wrong parts or even worse, could possibly rebuild an atomizer dangerously, etc.

I just saw a video about EA mod made by pbusardo and I have some comments about it. Not for the mod (witch is a direct GG copy by the way) but for pbusardo's comments about it.

Beco, I cant make a review or comment about another's person product, I am talking only about the information that reviewers release to the people and is not the right one sometimes. Not because reviewer is a bad person but he has the wrong info too.
I would really like to read or watch Imeo's review and opinion about SvoeMesto Kayfun v3 and Kayfun mini 2.1

A well known reviewer traded a UFS with me. This was the centre pole. Its an old rivet and wire housing. I queried the safety issues with him and he called me an idiot and a nutjob.

Good to know that somo. This white plastic and the pin are not GG constructions and the person that sold you that had to inform you about every change he made on the UFS.
But this thread is for comments about reviews we have seen and we found mistakes that have to be corrected:)

I personally watch as many reviews as I can to get different opinions / view angles as I can. Most of the time if I'm watching a review I either already have my mind made up, or watching something brand new that just came out and no-one really knows much yet.

I like the ones mentioned, But I also like that "todd" dude cuz I like his accent.

I watch all of Scott Bonner's reviews due to his clear guidance and impartiality. If he thinks it stinks he'll tell you so.

I have also found the geekgirlvaper a great help. I was lost when I first received a GGTS and an odysseus with the extension kit. I was convinced something was missing until the geekgirlvaper helped me out.

He does do good reviews, but I can't watch them. He drives me crazy with the way he blows smoke rings then always wafts the vapor out of the way!

I do like Phil's reviews though.

pbusardo and igetcha69 are probably 2 of the best youtube mod reviewers, they always ofter detailed info and honest opinion and that's what i look for the most in a reviewer.
i did not agree with pbudardo's review of the evic. I think he was a bit to critical on things that don't matter like the auto scroll. Most vapers are not going to be playing with the settings and menu as much as he did in the review. the point of a vw device is set it and forget it.

Funny, as I was putting my eVic up for sale I was thinking "I really should have listened to what he said in that review."

It was all the little unrefined things that would get in my way as I was fiddling with it that finally drove me up a wall with my eVic, and I found he was spot on about that stuff. That's the kind of reviewer I like -- the ones who actually fiddle with stuff to figure out how it works and how it could be improved, rather than the ones that just stick an RBA on it and fire it up. Any device will let you do that right out of the box.

...and I have yet to find a device, VW or otherwise, that I can "set and forget." The only things I sort of get that with are mechanicals. IMHO, the whole point of variable devices is to fiddle with them.

Bish. I love your tutorials man. Great place for newbs and vets to learn some stuff and get new ideas.

thanks bud, Mine is more tinkering and enhancing vape with products I demonstrate. I do review yes, but only if it can provide a good experience and it don't break. Last thing I would do is lie about a products potential and jeopardize someones health. All that has seen my videos knows I do everything I can to help anyone in getting a great vaping experience.

btw i got my ss ggts yesterday and what was the first thing i tried? the BISH-TWIST and it works beautifully :)
