I stopped watching him a long time ago so I don't know when he changed.

maybe, but I doubt Home Depot would have the competition model.

LOL...........

...but he did take the video down... within 24 hours.
The people, threads and vape shows that republish the video and continue to perpetuate the narrative are as guilty of the "crime" (in the context of harming the vape community with making negative health claims), as they claim RiP to be.

But this is YouTube we're talking about...completely unforgiving, and ruled by Like/Subscribe Whores. It is in fact, a den of intellectual inequity akin to daytime TV or dare I say, Facebook. Nothing that happens on it can be suppressed. Actually, that's a good thing, but it's also just a bit creepy. Anything you post, there's always someone out there who's gonna record it. If Rip didn't realize before how vicious his playmates in that sandbox are, he probably learned a valuable lesson.

Wasn't that due to Exposure?
Is one no longer guilty simply from covering up a crime?<even a child?> Do we just let everything go and assume tomorrow will be Roses and Wine once more?

The only Crime I see is letting actions go ignored. There are many Vblogers that have specific followings. Those subscribers look to them for information.
Simply because many people are covering the situation does not mean they are Ganging up. They are individually giving their take to their subscribers.

*If one has issues with 10 friends..............perhaps the issue is not the friends

The only drama I noticed was the reaction to what Rip did not in what he
did for whatever reason he did it. a product reviewer reviewing a product
is not exactly front page news.

I've enjoyed Rip over the years, but he's gone hyper in the past couple. I never minded his rip and read editing because it lessens the time I have to listen to repetitious dialog.

He played a major part in teaching people how to recoil heads in the early days and probably contributed to the rise of RTA/RDA usage. I'm glad that his and other peoples' videos showed me how to do all that. I've saved bundles of money by not buying a 5 pack of Kanger coil heads a week.

Did you watch the actual Video?
Did you understand the Fact he was Pedaling a Branded product and claiming Not to be Pedaling a Branded Product?
A Clear FCC Violation

Could simply have Been Stress and poor health management:

I often wonder how many Sick new Vapers are simply dealing with the Stress of making the Switch

I watched the video. Aside from the fact that reviewing said product and not
selling said product what specific FCC regulation is Rip in violation of considering
it's not broadcast media and there theoretically is no compensation involved.
Stressed or not any one who got there undies in a bunch over Rips lame attempts
at product reviews and or placement whether commercial or not has issues that
are probably best not handled on the internet by hack like me.
There is simply no there,there. Take my word for it. There are a lot of more
important things to waste emotional baggage on. I personally can not muster
the effort to post a imaginary face palm emoticon here.( )

Quite honestly, if it weren't for the internet bru ha ha about his video, I would've missed it completely- that's how little I care about what he does.

When I'm looking for reviews, I don't even consider him anymore unlike when I first began vaping- back then he was everything.

From 2012. Just thought I'd put this here. Go to 7:30.

PG testing - http://www.ema.europa.eu/docs/en_GB/document_library/Report/2014/12/WC500177937.pdf
Inhalation

In fact, after 28 days of inhalation exposure, no systemic effects were seen up to 200 mg/kg(highest dose tested, corresponding to a plasma Cmax of 137.6 mg/dL). Moreover, in the 7-day inhalation study in rats, no effects were observed up to the highest dose tested, i.e. 41.0 mg/L and corresponding to plasma
Cmax of 350.8 mg/dL.

VG Testing

http://www.inchem.org/documents/sids/sids/56815.pdf

There
was no effect on lung, liver, kidney, brain and heart weight nor any macroscopic findings reported.
Histopathological examination of the respiratory tract, liver, kidneys and heart of controls and high
dose animals revealed an increased incidence of minimal to mild squamous metaplasia of the
epiglottis in all treated animals (1/10, 13/18, 16/19 and 13/14 at 0, 1000, 1930, and 3910 mg/m3,
respectively).

I read in Awe at statements like I Drink 2 Gallons of Water a day and Vaping Dehydrates me. This from someone that may Vape 2ml-15ml per day(12-18hrs.)

That is .07oz to .5oz of Vapor with a large quantity Exhaled, but some absorbed.
Even a perfect 1:1 absorption would only be .07oz - .5oz water(body moisture)
2 Gallons of Water? 256oz.?

Until the Medical profession publishes evidence to the contrary, I have my own feelings on Vaping the the possibility of Dehydrating.
*Dry Mouth/throat is Not Dehydration. I have collapsed from Dehydration in the past and know better.
