Why do most of them see how foul mouthed they can be, I don't get it. I am by no means a prude, but I don't like it.


I agree and think they could be losing a large percentage of potential viewers that will shut it off with the first Alphabet-Bomb. Not everyone wants to hear it when wanting to learn about something.


Doesnt bother me in the least, I tend to say much worse than any of them on a daily basis though.


I can keep up with the best of them, but there is a time and a place for that...I don't think a review of a product is one of them.

I feel the ones that do appeal to the younger viewers (18-25ish) that enjoy the more controversial things. Each reviewer has to find something that gets them attention and sets them apart from the next. While I agree, they are limiting their viewer base, a lot that do speak foul seem to have plenty of subs, more than some that keep it clean. What is popular now would have been banned when I was a kid, this just shows us it isn't going to get better with time, just worse. Like "family" and "children" based tv networks letting sexual scenes be played when they know the age group and type of viewers they have.

I let youtube generate subtitles and click "mute"
Show me the data and the features. I can infer the rest from what I watch/read.
I don't really want to see more than human hands and the "product". Blow the vape cloud on the table and I get the picture.

Just the facts ma'am


Cheers

They can swear as much (or as little) as they like as long as they're honest. Unfortunately most of them are shills. I can't remember how many tanks i've bought after glowing 'reviews' only to end up with a f*&k*%g lemon !
It seems as if which ever new tank/mod they are using, is the latest/greatest. That's one of the reasons I like this forum, honest opinions from users.

it's a shame that there's not a repulsive language app that could filter out offensive words
Absolutely not, on the contrary. Sadly such things do exist and are developed, up to now they always fail and create false positives en masse. With the number of languages I don't see it getting near "good" any time soon. On youtube that means demonitization so creators who get flagged by the algorithm have to look for other means to make money.
This "shut down things I find offensive" mentality is the bane of our time and will likely end up in another totalitarian nightmare.
This cuts deep, Im bogan af.
It's a punk rock song, c:censored: ;)

Vaping is a broad phenomenon which has been embraced by different classes of persons.
Me, and many others on these fora, we just escaped the damage of burning tobacco, while remaining grateful for the opportunity being given to us.
Other people assumed vaping as a lifestyle marker.
Yes, that odd looks I get when I walk past some peculiarly looking people, who behaves like I have stolen their thunder - for the fact that I am vaping, too.
I bet, they are the platea for those foul mouthed "reviewers".
As the old Latin saying goes, "O tempora, o mores...".

I've been know to indulge in the odd foul word myself, but when it's an unending torrent of filth I lose interest.

Nobody likes a bogan.
He has over 115,000 people subscribed to his channel. Just because you don't like him, there are lots of people that would dsagree. I like the bogan much better than djlsb, but I'm sure there are others that feel the opposite way.

Too many of the big timers say they do not get paid for their reviews, which is supposed to make them look more honest, but push for us viewers to donate money to them. Which means they get paid for their reviews.

Currently I only watch one reviewer, Pal 702, because I agree with the way he does things. Minds his battery condition in the video, builds within the CDR of his batteries, and does a wide range of products from cheap to very high end.

I'm fine with it as long as it isn't super cringey. I like Bogan, probably my favorite reviewer personally. Was initially put off but after a few videos I just kind of became fine with it, has it's own charm in a way I guess? Also love how he reviews a beer before every vape review, i've actually gotten into a couple really good craft beers from his videos, and got me into trying to mix vaping with drinks to create some pretty interesting experiences. Much better than Indoorsmokers making cringey ex-wife jokes (not sure if he does this anymore, but I remember it being a thing when I watched him 5 or so years ago) or Rip trying to force a vulgar joke, which physically hurts me. Then again I don't watch a lot of vape channels so my experiences are pretty limited.

I'll watch Tony, Mike and Daniel.

Oh, and Zophie because she reminds me of one of my daughters.

The rest of the foul-mouthed, tattooed snapbackers can go puff a tootle. They're all a bunch of divas.
