What are you looking for in a juice review?

[shawnatjr]

HI, ok before I start I am letting you know I am a juice .....! lol while others focus on their atty's and rba's I have a profound addiction to juices and hoarding as many diff juices and juice vendors as possible.....to the date I have tried over 500 juices. Yet I have been hesitant on starting a youtube channel. I am looking for honest straight to the point opinions on what the vapors would like to see in juice reviews........I have received a few samples from vendors already just on some of my ideas but I want the communitys honest opinion on what sells a juice for you.

First I don't base my opinion on price or what is sent for free to review bc I have been sent some shotty .... juice to review for free with disclaimers to please give great reviews......not my style. I want to be honest and to the point. I understand that th is subjective to nic content and many other variables.....to me th is not a selling point on an ejuice. please let me know as I have quite a bit more juice than most to inform and judge for others in the same boat as me.

I strive for honesty, integrity, and all day vapobility!
Let me know what you guys want the most, and it shall happen!

p.s no free or reduced price juices review any better than ones I pay full price for......sorry I am honest and want to spread the best ejuice info available. I have over 200 samples from a lot of vendors that wont get good reviews even though they were free, I am here for the hard working vapor and want to deliver the truth.
let me know what you want guys and I will deliver.

First and foremost... taste! I'm surprised how many reviewers don't say WHAT the flavor is... not the name as they can mislead.. but what is actually tasted. I want to know if its chemically, perfumey, soapy. I want to know the MAIN flavor because many vendors don't do a description and have weird names that don't say. I don't care if it has 7 layers, I want the main one. And, yes, being hard working, I want the price. I can't tell you how many times I've watched a whole review only to go to the vendor and find it way over priced in my book. That brings up another point... state the vendor slowly and clearly and put it down in the description... can't tell you how many wild goose chases I've had in google. Massive or mild TH is nice but I really don't need vapor production as I can see! LOL Hmmm, what else? If you can't tell what it tastes like, please say so at the very beginning of the video so I can move on. Taste is subjective and just because you like it which is all you're gonna be able to say when you can't describe the taste I may not. A scale of one to five on strength of flavor would be nice... some vendors make really weak juice. Cool, hot, wet, dry... especially with tobaccos but others too. And that brings me to what setup you're testing on and maybe even a starting point recommendation. That's all I can think of right now that I had wished a reviewer included. Thanks for asking... see ya on the tube.

So, since you asked... if there's one thing that impresses me with a juice reviewer, it's honesty. The problem is, all of them think they're honest, but there are a lot that just can't do it. You probably know the type... the ones who become such big fans of a particular vendor that they think everything from that vendor is good, even when it's not. The ones that let their memory of a good juice they had in the past cloud their taste buds in the moment. I see it far too often.

Other than that, I just like to hear how it tastes, how well it lives up to its description, and whether the reviewer enjoys it. Specifics about what was sampled are always good (PG, VG, nic, etc.), but most of all, just call 'em like you see 'em, and treat every juice from a particular vendor like you've never heard of them before.

Thank u so much. I plan on delivering honest and true taste evaluations........not just, oh this tadtes good but true front note, back end honest taste reviews.

Sorry typing on cell phone......big thumb problems

 

[XfooYen]

As soon as I read anything like "vapor production" or "throat hit" in a review, I stop reading and move on.

 

[shawnatjr]

Thank you as those are all subjective to pg/vg and nic content they become of no meaning to taste to me

I read juice reviews but I don't listen to them anymore because ive been disappointed once to often after buying something based on that review. Me. I now want to know what they put in the juice -most first -to least last -like on food boxes. I can tell a lot more if I'm going to like it from that. I do want to know about throat hit and strength of flavor. Words like spicey, sweet, rich, delicate all paint a pretty clear picture. I want to know how much alcohol can be smelled. I want to know the viscosity and color. Price.

IMHO every reviewer should vape 5ml of the ejuice flavor straight. Some flavors are great for a few drops and you tire of them, while others grow on you. Be an expert on that flavor if you are going to review it.

I like comparisons. Similarities between other vendors versions or that vendor's other flavors. Comparisons to food help sometimes too. If you can pick up on possible base flavors, tell us. Sweetness level. and yes tell the truth, your truth.


Another suggestion would be to state a handful of your favorite flavors in categories.. I'm convinced some of us have similar tastebuds so I look for suggestions from people who like some of the ejuices I do.

I would like to know which flavors come through when vaped and their strength. I also want to know if there is any "off" or artificial flavor tastes of any kind. Steeping requirements for optimum flavor would be nice to know.

The only thing I look for in a juice review is if it's made by someone whose tastes I'm already familiar with. Frankly, just because some random person on the internet likes or dislikes a juice tells me absolutely nothing about whether I will like that juice or not.

 

[Caridwen]

I never really 'got' juice reviews.

It's like someone eating a Big Mac telling me how wonderful it is. Really? You like it but how does it relate to me?

 

[mmikee]

I just dont watch juice review. There is just too much difference between peoples tastebuds. Like Gthompson, I prefer to ask other people whos tastes seem to line up with mine. Its sometimes hard to even get people to agree on what the main flavor is.
Even words like perfumy, etc, dont mean anything to me. My wife and I regularly find each others juice to be "flowery" or "perfumy".
She says EWWWW Gross ! I say YUMMMMMM!
Of course I dont have a problem withreviews that may help someone else. Great for them. Just not for me.
The only reviews that I trust are sample bottles.

 

[Caridwen]

I'm not trying to discourage you from doing them. It's certainly popular.

I just know that I ended up with a box full of liquids that I don't vape because I listened to reviews. I do know based on the reviewer what I won't like if they like it. I don't happen to like sweet, very strong flavors, and if a particular reviewer recommends a juice, chances are I won't like it.

If a reviewer remembers that everyone doesn't have the same taste it helps. Just saying it's good isn't enough. Sweet, subtle, what flavors they pick up (I can't stand cream) help.

Roger Ebert is my favorite movie reviewer because he understands "it's not what a movie is about, it's how it is about it." Meaning the plot or the genre doesn't say anything about if a movie is good, it's how well the movie maker told the story or represented the genre that makes it a thumbs up or thumbs down.

I would like to see more reviewers who don't have a heavy preference to a certain genre, or category, of juice, but rather someone who enjoys any type as long as it's done well, and then is able to describe why it's done well. You're not going to see that much around here, where most of us have flavor preferences and gravitate to certain flavors or vendors. I've done a few "reviews" though I use that term loosely. They are more my impressions based on my preferences, but I don't have the skill or the desire to be a professional reviewer.

A professional reviewer realizes that while he may prefer grape to apple, that should be pushed aside when reviewing to just tell how well the maker represented what they are going for, if it works as a whole, and if it's interesting or unique.

All points are certainly understood and the opinions put forth by previous posters are exactly how I feel. I am still going to start reviews but I am going to try to taje it in a whole new direction......as I see there is a need too. I too have a full box of .... I cant vape, so I will strive to achieve the imposible with this and be completely different from the norm
