Unfortunately with the state of youtube, and sites as such, these reviewers probably get dragged in the dirt just as much as they are getting praised. So for every 100 "thank you" emails, there are probably about 100 "you're an idiot"emails to also go thru as well. And to be honest, to deal with that negative side on a day to day basis, would drive anyone nuts. and I'm sure as popular as she seems, she probably got alot more email.

Internet connections should come with a warning printout: There are sadistic people on the internet who will take great pleasure in trying to make you angry or sad. Ignore them.

This is the video that drove her over the edge, it was in response to her own video.

"Just in case"

It's a very long thread of hate but look these 2 comments


Are your boxes and ohms that important to you? More important that the amount of hate comments that they lady is getting both here and on her own video? She is literally being bullied by the same people that you thanked for their support. She is clearly an intelligent person who is being reduced to delete comments and defend herself. Not many people are able to cope with bullying and the more she is being prolonged to it, the more uncertainty on how it will all end.

Yes, they are. The fact that I do my best to provide some decent and clear information to the community is very important to me. When that information is challenged I will respond to it or apologize for it if I'm wrong.
Again, it was not my intention start a "war", so I do invite my subscribers and anyone else to put an end to the hurtful comments.
Take this vid for what it is. Showing the boxes don't add resistance.
I get "bullied" all the time. It's how we handle it that defines us.

There are three Steeljan support threads in the top five it seems for today!! let's post the crap out of them for as long as possible. This will show massive support. so tell everyone you know to leave some type of well wishing comment. Let's do this for not only Steeljan, but let's do this for all the reviewers out there. Let's thank them all for all they do considering all the crap they must take.

Support all Vapers....SUPPORT THE REVIEWERS!!!

I looked at the comments on PBusardo's channel earlier today. Looks like you have fanboys from two video reviewers beating the daylights out of each other and the two reviewers.

These comment wars on You Tube get pretty childish. Lots of folks with too much time on their hands and no concept of civility.

i can't help to think phil is smarter than announcing to everyone he's going out of town in the video and not disabling the comments while he's gone. he's got reason to envy jan, she gets better merchandise given to her to review. he's stuck with free juice and laser pointers. i smell envy.

Everything has resistance unless it's a superconductor. So basically what this video seems to show is that each box added is made of superconducting materials.

I find that hard to believe.

So I'm guessing this whole argument is over the ohm reading.

This is the type of comment that starts it.

By the way, this did not start with Phil. That was the last straw. Jan recieved threats of violence in PM's. What we see in comments are nothing compared to the private messaged she recieved.

It looks like if you mention tube mods, stacked battries, mod quality, unprotected lithium cells or safety in general, your freindly vaping comunity will track you down and burn your house.. with you in it.

I'm definitely not an electrical engineer, but my guess is that, since we're talking about a voltmeter, the meter itself is connected in parallel to the atomizer, in spite of the "looks" that suggest it's in series. Voltmeters have very high resistance, not low, they are not superconductors. To measure the voltage, you have to check the difference in potential across a portion of a circuit. If the meter is in series it really only checks the voltage drop across itself - that doesn't make sense. Anyway, if the meter is indeed linked in parallel with the "load", then Ohm's Law dictates that it decreases the total resistance of the circuit connected to the battery a wee bit. The higher the resistance of the meter, the lower the amount by which it decreases the total resistance.

Now, I haven't seen SteelJan's video, and I know she is an engineer so I'm guessing she probably had a point. This is just my limited understanding on how voltmeters work, really.

Hell, she may even have been wrong, it doesn't change the situation at all. Which is that a bunch of mindless, coward, frustrated a*holes bullied a super-nice, smart, helpful, funny, graceful lady.

I am just appalled that this would happen over VAPING for heaven's sake. Steeljan was one of the first reviewers I watched when I was looking into vaping. Her videos and advice were spot on for me, though I never watched the more technical ones since I am not into modding or DIYing (yet). But it's not like she was talking about the best ways to skin live kittens or anything. She was talking about vaping. Some people need to take a step back and get some perspective. Death treats over vaping? Really?

PBusardo made the brief video three days ago. He mentioned that another reviewer claimed that in-line volt/ohm meters like the type he uses in his reviews add resistance to measurements and are not accurate. Without naming names he showed in the video that his voltmeters were accurate. Over the weekend both SteelJan and PBusardo fanboys used the comment section for this video to wage a comments war.

PBusardo explained his reasons for taking down the video in his VapeBash, VapeFest, VapeWOW Vid1 video this evening.

I'm sorry to see her go, as well. She was my first-ever vaping guru, and I adored her videos entirely! Shame on whomever harassed her so much that she felt she had to quit. Those people are just mindless ......, thinking they're all big and bad, while hiding behind a computer screen.

I really hope she comes back. :(

Can somebody post the names of those hooligans, let's put those names out in public for everybody to see. Let's keep this community clean. There are many ways to teach them a good lesson and for future one's to think twice to do something like what has happened!

You wont get anything as they use gmail addys and that sort of virtually untraceable crap.

We are stuck with cyberbullying,being at the wrong place at the wrong time (when said inhuman logs) swerves you a full serving.
Some can deal with it,some cant.

One day the gov will pass laws against it,but they would need a few statistics (read what you want here) before taking steps.

Those dudes must have ran out of cats to torture and only have their puter screens to unleash their wrath upon.

Sad people living sad lives really.
