Spinfuel bias & Vapor Authority

[coldgin96]

Spinfuel has now partnered with Vapor Authority has their supplier. Spinfuel says they will remain unbiased, but I beg to differ.

When leaving a comment concerning their nautilus review, I stated at the end that World Of vape is selling the nautilus for $28.95 and a 5 pack of replacement heads for $14.95

That part of my comment was edited out.

Unfortunately they won't be the first or the last to do this. Very few vendors allow unedited comment in their reviews. I believe it's wrong, but you can hardly blame them - especially if the comments advertise a competing website.

You would never see Target allowing comments stating that products could be purchased from Walmart at a cheaper price. Why should vaping websites be any different?

That's life! Nothing is really unbiased.

So much this. Sad but true.

yeah, I've noticed some bias over there myself-read and take it with a grain of salt, get other opinions by reading here or on reddit for a broader opinion on things, of course my own experience of something is gonna be my own and is subjective, but you are right, they aren't as unbiased as they claim to be

Spinfuel is not a vendor. They claim to be a unbiased online vaping review magazine.

PBusardo doesn't care who gives him what. He tells it like it is. You can trust his reviews to be exactly what he thinks. But, then again, he has integrity.

Spinfuel hires a staff of writers and accepts money from vendors for advertising those products, which likely contributes to those employee's salaries. How unbiased can you be when reviewing a product that contributes to your paycheck?

PBusardo accepts sponsor money from vendors, too, to help fund his website Taste Your Juice. He also has a regular full-time job not related to e-cigarettes. He does receive products free of charge in return for doing a review, as do many of the reviewers.
