Grimm's reviews have slid downhill in informative value in the last few months. I still will watch some of them, but since he was highly critical of the Provari in his review of it because he insisted vaping at 6 volts with a low resistance dual coil atty and it didn't perform to his expectations, I lost all respect. The average Joe is not going to be vaping that hot, and he must have spent 10 minutes of the video complaining.
It's Britney Spears. I am sure it is a "used" poster from his adolescence that he cherishes. Yeah, eventually it's time to put away childish things.
I wasn't aware he'd achieved such celebrity status that he'd create a rant from someone. Granted, I hate his use of the word "toot", but he's just a guy with a poster of Britney Spears on his wall. He's hardly worth a rant. Anybody with a webcam can make any video. Instead of creating a rant, why not start your own Youtube channel?
The B Spears comment was made before reading this thread in totality.

From the start I thought Grimm was full of S, but I've seen his type often from work (in the media). I like his reviews because he shows new vape gear, but the toot thing bothered me at first. Then I started noticing how he would, while tooting, give the thumbs up + pointy finger to his lips while he thought he was getting a good rip. Now I can't watch him without getting annoyed at that.

WOW! A lot o' hatin'...
...for a guy who's just doin' his thing, not bothering anybody, often providing some insights (for free on his own time) that might serve to help a new vaper. Watching them isn't mandatory, after all.
Anything that anyone does in that regard may help get someone to stop smoking, and isn't that the point? I don't see why it should bother anyone. Reviewing a reviewer seems to be missing the point.
I suppose I can understand the OP's head-scratching about some potential deficit of integrity that might exist when reviewing a juice after saying he wouldn't, but that would be if he was simply reviewing a juice. He's reviewing a carto that can only be had with juice in it. If a kit in this form factor interests someone, and this one was on their short list, knowing something of the juice that you would be having to chose from is likely relevant.
(...and by the way, most of this post is NOT directed at the OP, since he didn't really engage in the fortuitous hate-mongering that has started characterizing this thread.)
Besides all of that, even if his next half dozen videos were all juice reviews without his first releasing a video explaining that he's changed his position on not doing such a thing, what does it matter? He's entitled to change his mind and doesn't really owe anybody an explanation, apology, justification, or anything else.
One can take it or leave it, but haters rallying to pick apart everything about the guy because of it seems rather disingenuous and gratuitously catty. He's just a guy who's doing something he enjoys in the hopes of being helpful.
Do any of you have a YouTube channel that offers anything at all of assistance to the rest of us? If so, be careful about your set design......and your clothing...and your choice of vernacular...and your physical mannerisms...and GAWD help you if you're not an Adonis!
Honestly, there's far more evidence of 7th grade in this thread due to the comments of contributing posters than any in regards to Grimm's door poster!
Geez! Are we ECF members, or YouTube commenters?

Trust a former professional reviewer (in print, not YouTube), you should never trust a review.
And it's not cool to think no one here could review products / services. I spent three years reviewing bands, CDs, live shows, etc. So yeah, some of us here have the right to say things.

Actually some people do get paid from YouTube if they are a "partner". I really don't know the details though.
I take what pbusardo says to heart a lot more than green. Green lost a lot of validity with me when he couldn't even rebuild a phoenix rba and I could on my first try.

Nope. "Customer" inherently implies a purchase, and his review doesn't even have ads.
If you were once a reviewer, you should know better than most that the information is provided subjectively, "as is". And even if he visited this thread, what purpose would he have to make any adjustment to his style or etiquette based on the cacklings of people engaged in such infantile behaviour!
You are ripping on other people in this thread and calling them childish.
And as for customer implying purchase, a lot of the publications I wrote for were alt news freebies and city papers. Some were free, and they saw readers as customers. They valued feedback and made adjustments accordingly. It's part of the job.

I have to throw in my 2 cents about the poster. I'm 46 yrs old and have 5 (or 2 depending on how you consider it) posters hanging on the wall in my mancave/computer room. I have an original KISS spirit of '76 (framed and signed) and i have all 4 of the KISS solo album posters (connected in a huge frame). I'm not a huge grimmgreen fan but, seriously, you're going to jump on a guy for having posters on his wall?
I may get old but I'll never grow up.

You'll take the teddy bear off my bookshelf display when you escape with it while I'm beating you with my VAMO.
OK, so a poster isn't quite the same thing. I get that, I do. But sometimes something from your childhood forms a tangible link between who you were, who you are, and the direction you're heading.
I don't think he is using youtube reviews as a job. I'm in the camp with the guy you were responding to. It's kind of ridiculous to come and ridicule a dude for his youtube videos. To OP all juice reviews are stupid everyone has different taste, I mean some people like brussel sprouts, I hate them.
Ha, I don't know why but when I first read KISS I had "I was made for loving you baby and you were made for loving me" I know it's not one of their most popular songs but I still love it heh.
