Welcome to ECF
I always read reviews, as most of my mods are clone mech mods, I find the reviews on FastTech very helpful and brutally honest.
I'd rather not watch videos, pictures in a well written review speak volumes, without saying a word

Speaking of myself I usually watch every possible review on Youtube and then on any sites, trying to gather as much as possible information about the pro and cons of the think i'm thinking to buy. sometimes it infulences my desicion to buy the eqipment i wanted or another

Depends who is reviewing and what they are saying.
A high proportion of reviews are as good as fake and designed to carry on the despicable charade of affiliate/commission money-making going on in the e-cig industry.
I might read the information about the product on Spinfuel or Vaping 360 but i would never fully trust their opinion or click on their links. Not when these people promote Vaporfi and V2 as the "best" e-cigs.
I sometimes watch video reviews. Here again I rarely then buy the product at the shops that flash up on the screen during the presentation. I shop around, which is what we should all be doing rather than allowing the corporate brainwashing by the internet.
(Gosh... serious today...)
When I first started vaping, I didn't do much research before I bought an Ego starter kit. I just wanted to find something better than the Njoy disposables I bought on a whim.
While waiting for it to arrive, I started watching Youtube reviews. Everyone had good things to say about the Innokin MVP 2 so I ordered one.
When I received the Ego kit, I was pretty sure I could quit smoking with vaping. A few days later, the MVP 2 arrived and I was sure I was on the right path.
I realized, after awhile, that reviews can be helpful but they don't tell much about durability. They use something for a few hours, days or minutes and then post a review.
I still watch and read reviews but I get more, in depth information, here. I don't just jump on something until others have used it for awhile and have good things to say.
My favorite Youtube reviewers are pbusardo (very long but very thorough) and Mike Vapes.

I'm very like minded, I try to watch/read as many as I can on a product and hope the truth is somewhere in between, except when it comes to juice as this is very subjective due to so many things affecting the review and flavour e.g. personal preference, taste, coils, wattage used etc... The only time a juice review stands out is if it's of a product I like already and enjoy, I'll try to find reviews that I agree with 100% (I can then use them as a benchmark for other flavours) which then gives me confidence that other flavours they review I'd also agree with.
Once I've made a decision I always shop around! It's a must
Thanks for the heads up and YouTube recommendations.
I can't agree with you more over how reviews are done on EVERYTHING not just vaping regarding durability. Everything and anything is reviewed in the way of "ooooh it looks shiny, it works really well" (I would hope so, you've just unwrapped it) Amazon are the worst and nobody ever goes back to update a review 6-12 months later.
reviews... i will watch many and language doesn't matter initially, like DJ i know some are bought, but seeing how they treat the mod/tank/rda helps... then i look in places like this forum etc... if i can i will handle it before hand.
I find the video reviews to be technically informative but I don't bother listening to their opinions of the product. I prefer reading reviews as it is easier to skip to the part you are actually interested in. For opinions on something the only ones I trust are from users and are written in forums where I know they are at least heartfelt. I tend to like to take a consensus of the such opinions before believing any one writer.
I use reviews on nearly all purchases. Written is the best form of communication, if I should have any questions from written, I will then turn to video.How often do you use reviews before making a purchase?
In what format do you prefer your reviews to be presented? i.e. video (YouTube) or written (blog/forum)
Do you find reviews influence your purchase decisions and if so are they influenced more/less with hardware compared with e-juice.
Thoughts
I find reviews always influence my purchase decisions.
Hardware reviews carry a little more weight when compared to someones idea of e-liquid taste.
I'm a review hound. I seek out written reviews, youtube, and read the feedback on vendor pages. ECF is also a good place.
my biggest review pool is from my vaping friends, 2nd place would have to be here; so far, i feel i am ahead of the game
