Well, I have REALLY tried to stay out of this igetchya69 debacle. Unfortunately, our "mate" scott continues to perpetuate the duck wearing a rabbit costume and now he is bringing it over here directly. So, let's have a bit of fun and "review" the "review" (if one can really call it that). What is it that they say - if it looks like a DUCK, waddles like a DUCK, quacks like a DUCK - it is probably a DUCK right??
So, lets take a quickie look see into this "review" and the "reviewer":
- igetchya has made more ecig "review" videos than probably any other vapor on this planet and he frequently starts by telling us he got the product free for "review" purposes. We have all seen the long list of "free devices" venders and manufactures are lining up to give away for "free" for "review" purposes.
- igetchya claims above
i run a video production company which has absolutely nothing to do with reviews in any way shape or form.........reviews are just a hobby
and yet One of his web pages is:
Video Production Services (which is all about ecigs) and the other web page:
E-Cig-Reviews.com - Electronic cigarette and E-Liquid video reviews, tutorials, user guides and discount codes (ALSO all about ecigs)
and
{from his website}
On the video page it is clearly printed:
Please contact us for pricing and details
Ok, now lets have a look into what his royal vaping highness has to say:
He complains about having to look at the screen and press button to see the operating data. This might have been the stupidest comment of all because he goes on to say he likes "another device" (clearly ProVari) which requires 13 button presses (while looking at screen) just to see the ohms. As we know, to see V, Ω, and batt (no AMPS gauge at all) --> on Provari takes at least 25 button presses - ALL WHILE LOOKING AT THE SCREEN.
In his Darwin "review" thread, his next post is promoting Provari (in a DARWIN "review" thread??) - hmmmmm....
The unit he "borrowed" for the review was supposedly "only a week old" but clearly the device had been soaked in juice. You can see the residue all around the screen edge. I do not know for certain why the button on that particular device is sticking so much (especially when so few have this complaint) but can only guess it got soaked with juice (causing the stickiness). In addition, clearly he spent little to no time with the device so how could his "review" be any kind of real "review" at all? Possibly a "first impressions" but it is pretty clear that this guy had an agenda to bash Darwin and promote ProVari (in the SAME THREAD) - not to mention the home page of his reviews website he calls Provari "one of the hottest and most sought after electronic cigarette devices on the planet".
He clearly did absolutely no research to learn anything about the device or actual user experience with the device (he claims 50% of users complain about the button - really? I have read EVERY Darwin post in ECF and seen only few button complaints. This thread is over 7700 posts long and I have read them ALL. I have not seen too many button complaints. So, either his "50%" is totally fictitious or he went and counted posts in the British forums (where the device has only been released less than a month ago) - I suspect the former.
For such an experienced vape reviewer, he seems to not realize that 4.3 watts setting with a 1.7 Ωs atty will still produce 8+ watts. He obviously could not be bothered to look at the screen to see 3.6 volts and calculate the actual (and clearly he has not read any of the
MANY posts/discussions about LR attys/cartos on Darwin). So, I am guessing this guy somehow thinks the batt can go as low as 2.7 volts (which, btw, no device does as it would be pushing any vaping battery below it's safety threshold). He must be a real vaping master.
After his initial post about Darwin, he got called out on some points (replies in the thread) and he proceeded to make 4 or 5 extremely defensive posts lamely attempting to justify/defend his pathetic bashing of the most advanced vaping device on the market and one of the most popular too (all while clearly pushing ProVari on his Home-page of his website and pushing ProVari in his Darwin "bashing" post).
I could go on, and probably find lots more to have fun with, but the point is pretty clear. This guy is for sale, clearly is trying to push the only potentially competing device (ProVari - which I think most (if not all) of us respect as a quality device and many of us have or have had at least one), and clearly trying to cover up his agenda with all these defensive posts.
So, I guess it really does look like a DUCK, quacks like a DUCK, waddles like a DUCK and smells like a DUCK too - I will leave the rest to all of you to decide for yourselves.
As for scott/IGETCHYA - if you had any sense of professionalism, or even common sense, you would have realized that if you bring your self promoting defensiveness here - into a 7700+ posts thread of Darwin enthusiasts... Well, you must have seen that you were asking for (in your first "review" thread) and now BEGGING for (by bringing your defensiveness here into THIS thread) to get some sort of point/counter-point response like this one.
So, scotty/IGETCHYA, P-L-E-A-S-E (I am beggin you - for your own sake) just drop the Darwin and go on to other things. We know what Darwin is and isn't, what it can and cannot do, its strengths and weaknesses and clearly (by the simple facts that it is almost always sold out, sold out in England within hours, and C'fieds FS posts rarely last a single day) an extremely popular device. We know there is no such thing as a perfect device. And, you should be ashamed of yourself for all this pettiness and continued bashing that you continue to defend and propagate instead of actually considering the fact that as one of the most prolific "reviewer(s)" you might actually have some responsibility to the millions of others who are not as experienced as we are. Those people are actually looking for reliable and trustworthy advice and guidance. Clearly your moral and ethical compass must have gotten dropped into your toilet and flushed away.
Please do not bother responding because while this has been fun, we here have better things to post about like blue tarps, T-shirts, "downward facing dog" and lots more stuff that is way more interesting and entertaining than seeing you defend your agenda.
It is quite interesting though GoodSense Vapor - 306DCA Chorn you will probably like this one 
It might even be worth taking off when I have to put the darwin in my pocket if it doesn't fold down. Not like it's going to leak anywhere... I like the idea of adjustable airflow and that they are making one for the I06 atomizer which only has a really boring drip tip at the moment
