Rip recently had a video ranting about his haters. I didn't get too far into it but he certainly seemed irate about people commenting that he must be on something. I think his normal tone of voice is most likely the one he using when he's actually building. Then he's back to normal. When he's on camera, he puts on this zany persona.

Honestly I think his edits are more because he's not a prepper than any stylistic reason. For example, PB seems to prepare before he even makes the video, and if he misses something it appears as a note. Indoor Smokers types something up, but you can see that he's obviously glancing to the side to refer to his notes. He also seems to leave his stumbles in as well. Grimm just rambles a bit and eventually gets to where he's going. I think he's doing his reviews off the top of his head.

I do like Rip. His persona is kind of crazy, but I'm learning to build coils from him, so that's all I care about...

I will admit, I used RIP to learn how to build the Aspire BDC's, which is pretty cool. That said, I recently spent some time on a certain Reddit sub-sub-board, and, well, "chucking" and "sick as ...." can only be used acceptably there, let's say. That means no more RIP for me.

PBusardo is is my kind of guy, complete with oscilloscopes and everything.

I haven't watched a ton of Twisted, but can take or leave it (if I had more time to kill watching videos, I'd probably watch more).

I just watched GG for the first time earlier, and I liked the guy. I haven't watched enough to dislike anything, but I will definitely watch some more in the future.

I think RIP just tries too hard. I do think he's a good guy and has some good info. He wanted to be noticed more and he certainly has, but for the wrong reason.

Grimm also a good guy but not very technical....he is the one I watched most of in the beginning and still do.

Phil when you want as much info as possible , sometimes too much but is probably my favorite as I write this.

twisted420 is fun to watch, but isn't quite close to these other guys imho.

I have seen several Rip videos. Mainly when I was learning micro coils. I thought he was very informative though a bit hyped up. You would not necessarily want him to give you golf lessons, unless being a nervous wreck helps your game.
PBusardo is also informative but videos seem to move very slow. Too many side notes, get to the point.

I like grimmgreens videos. He's got good personality.
Busardo is my favorite, as he gives a COMPLETE review.
Twisted is funny, and has some good content.
I watch rips videos, but only when I want to see some builds, or he is reviewing a device before someone else has gotten to it. His EARLY videos were better.
Ruby's videos are entertaining.

Rip= Tons of knowledge on coils except when he's being possesed by the spirit of Yosemite Sam. Then he's just annoying.

Vapping twisted 420=Not funny. Either he has Tourettes syndrome or he's just another inarticulate dolt who can't think of anything more eloquent to say than "Dis MF hit hard!" I suppose he appeals to former smokers turned vapers from the ghetto.

Grim= Likeable but never got into his vids.

Todd= Excellent. One of the best.

igetcha69 = Excellent. One of the best.

Busardo = Excellent but too long winded.

I met PBusardo at VapeBash and he is a HUGE guy very intimidating... Well not really lol cause the guy is always smiling and is very approachable and a heck of a nice guy! He took his time to talk to me and take pictures. He even let me hold his mods which included his very own ProVari which is why I purchased mine that same day at VapeBash along with the kayfun 3.1 he is literally about the vapors and for the vapors which is how it should be. With that being said I think that Rip Trippers has an attitude about himself as if he wants to be top dog and is way too much into himself. By ranting about his "haters" he is simply acknowledging that he is that "big" of a reviewer that he has all these people talking about him. Like I said in a previous post to this thread, the guy is biased towards U.S made products and although he does some clones reviews be thinks that only U.S made products are worth it. We'll the rest of the regular vaping community doesn't have free mods, attys, juices, and tons of other top dollar products delivered to their footsteps on a daily basis. We actually have to work for our mods and pay for everything out of pocket.

RIP actually reviews stuff!? Never made it far enough into any of his vids, I guess.... :p

I pick reviewers based on what they review more than who they are. So I usually end up watching Todd and Scott. Added bonus; they both seem like decent folk. Busardo is great, too, but it's rare he reviews gear I'm interested in.

I have to turn down the volume and fast forward until Tripper gets to his builds. I still can't chuck vapor (not sure I want to) and I don't find Ti.. sick so I never really get it when he uses that term. I find them to be real nice and stay away from them if they are sick.

PBusardo is good but he has alliances which sometimes come out in his reviews of equipment.
