grimmgreen is hilarious. I love his reviews. Hes more down to earth and hes looks at vaping like a moderately advanced vaper does, not a reviewer, but a vaper. PBusardo is funny too and he really breaks things down and helps you understand what you didn't already. Grimm is more the guy I go to watch to see how I'll like what hes reviewing. PBusardo is the guy I watch to see how something functions and works.

I'll go with Optimo before grimm. Optimo is real. Don't get me wrong I respect all of the reviewers. The one called Scott.(i think from across the ocean). I really like him. But i just can't get into grimm. Guess it's the age difference. And by the way, I really don't care about PBusardo's vacation pics when he does a review. I want to see the product not his vacation. :2c: Sorry Phil.

Wow, we're skirting the edge, aren't we, posters?

maybe a little, but thats the main reason Im not very fond of using that term in connection with vaping.I understand why we have the no mention of illicit drug policy in place at but at times I feel like it hamstrings us from having an adult conversation about certain things that affect us all.

Pbusardo posts here too. He hasn't been posting to the forum recently but I think hes still posting the occasional review. FieldOfVapor posts here, I just saw him selling his Zen Sidewinder in the classifieds here. Grimm and Vmonkey and Basil and everyone else are on vapersforum for the most part. Grimm really just sticks to his YT, reddit, and facebook though. I like Phil's vacation pics. I talk with him on his youtube channel occasionally and the pics allow me to see him using the device he's reviewing and they usually have a laugh or two in them too. Good times.

Speaking of things that make you cringe. For me its Optimo's pronunciation of atomizer. Ottomizer? Come on I live in AL and even I'm saying he's a redneck :) Love and appreciate his reviews... but ottomizer?..it's cringe worthy. Like when people say the word aunt (ont). It's ant people!

Ive got my nose in the air...au-nt is perfectly proper. ants are only worthy of Raid :D

Oh, my wife and I go round and round with this one (She's English).. I love to argue about "Tomato and potato" and the fact that the English don't pronounce "po-tate-to" like they do "to-mat-to" hehe.. and she cringes with "toot" as well. :)

Hey, hey... I'm a BIG fan of Optimo's reviews :p. Understated, calm, and gentle. I love his accent; "Whatsup everybody" - too cute!! I'm not American, so I don't know the different regional accents though, (but I do know that I dislike loud, big, proud, obnoxious, juvenile etc. reviews....)

Oh and I think *toot* sounds vulgar in the vaping context. Unless you toot you car horn.

Oh and aunt is NOT pronounced ANT! Geesh lol!

I know this is all my own fault, I don't mean for it to jack-iron my brain...
Dude, it is absolutely, positively not your fault in any way.
The word "toot" is 100% at fault for being so hideous, as are the people that use that word.

Jack-iron to the brain... that is an apt description of how I feel when I hear that word.
And I have had a hard time finding a way to describe my reaction to the word "toot" until you said that.

So thank you.

Back when I was slinging drinks and waiting tables I had several customers ask me if I was originally from Virginia and then comment on my lack of accent.I took it as a compliment that I didnt sound like a redneck. :).

I absolutely refuse to ever say y'all or ant...unless Im talking about the actual insect.
