In post #73--------in the video Rip claims that he did not get paid for the plug on the replenisher drink..........
What does every one think of this-----true or false ???

What happened to him? Well I never much cared for him, so I don't really care. Perhaps he got ripped and tripped.
Well the video was done as an advertisement, in a true advertisement fashion. He pretty much tried to sell it like any ad would sell a product.
"I have x problem and I've tried solutions y and z and product n but nothing was working for me. I was about to give up until I tried product q. It's great, you get h amount and it comes in a convenient package so I can use it whenever I encounter problem x. Don't try product n, because I didn't have success with it. Product q is xxxx dollars and you can get yours today! Order now! Link below!"
It's like a mad libz.
ROFLMAO---hahahahah good one------but I have used product "Q" all my life.........hahhahahhahah
Twisted420 hearsay and bloggers BS ........................
Who do you think paid for this ?

So he tried to make a few bucks? Big deal. Everyone is for sale these days. It's the American way.
I just can't watch him because of the way he edits his videos. It is so jarring they are painful to watch more than a couple of minutes.

I don't fault Rip's intent, though his delivery was way too infomercial. I'm glad he felt strongly enough to share his health concerns, though he should have planned it out better. Admittedly, if I was experiencing anomalous health issues and found a remedy that I believe actually worked, I'd be just as enthusiastic to share it with the world.
Discouraging to say the least to see such highly aggressive reactions on YouTube. Apparently, there're a lot of envious "reviewers" lower on the food chain who would LOVE to see Rip go down. WTF sup with that?
Boils down to this: If we have that much genuine compulsion to jump down someone's throat at the mere suggestion that vaping could have some unhealthful side effects, then we're just another breed of Ant, Defending Our Cause in total denial of the realities.

Oh, I think old Rip is popular enough that, at the very least, he's sitting on a lifetime supply of that stuff for his efforts. I mean, everything he reviews is supplied to him in triplicate for free, cuz that's the way it works. Whether it was a pre-arranged deal is anyone's guess. In his follow up video he flat out states that he didn't get paid in money, and it's probably true. I don't think he needs the cash anyway, it appears from the green monster car video you posted that his YouTube royalties are allowing him to live quite the comfortable life, in addition to amassing a cargo container full of free vape gear.
Fault him? Personally, I'd rather be him, but if I were him, I'd never cross the line of sincerity. To that end, sometimes I have my doubts about old Rip.
The bad part about it is no matter how much horse power you add......................................
it will always be known as " The Vapemobile " ...................................lol

Just pointing it out in the hopes that...
1) People will be at least a little bit circumspect
2) People will become angry enough with the ANTZ to take some kind of action
Perhaps join CASAA, or Vaping Militia, or write a letter to their representatives...
I am not too familiar with the different big names in the youtube vaping community. Most youtube reviewers have very lengthy vids reviewing something that could be done in 2 minutes instead of 17. I dont wanna sit through 19 minutes of someone talking about an rta. Most of these products are fairly inexpensive and you either like them or don't. Not to mention all the hundreds of super similar mediocre products on the market today. I also dont view vaping as a hobby. I have enough hobbies that take up my effort time and money. Vaping is simply a way to injest nicotine.
I will say that I follow quite a few youtubers in the fitness community. Some of them are making some serious money off their channels. Kind of funny to see where several started out at and where they are today. I dont blame anyone for wanting to produce a revenue stream and get free gear while at the same time giving themselves a giant ego boost from having so many people watching and talking about them. However, as viewers, we need to remain mindful of what is happening or what is not being said.
I am going to be naturally inclined to give a favorable review to a product that is just mediocre if I get it in the mail along with several other goodies from a business and have had communication with the business. It is just the way we operate and I may not even realize I am doing it. If I am a business, I am going to send my new RTA along with other swagg to all the youtube reviewers cause it is cheap advertisement.

I have never even watched a vaping product review. I just don't have 30-60+min to listen to some clown that thinks he is funny go over a product to a level of detail that I don't care about.
ECF is good enough for me. If enough people rave about a product because they actually use it daily and love it, that's cool. Alternatively, if many ECFers have a bad experience with a product, I will likely pass.
Juice is a whole different story as taste is so subjective. I only listen to my own tastebuds.

I talked about this in my thread here: in defense of Rip Trippers side effects video.
and i'll repost some of it.
I really want to ask people ... Do cigarettes have flavorings? why did we go so far into creating flavorings? I mean how many cig. addicts quit smoking and remember the last cigarette he smoked was strawberry-banana-with-chocolate-AND-nicotine?
furthremore, i urge EVERYONE to see PBusardos videos linked above in my text when Phil visited flavourArts in Italy.
and i'll repost some of it.
I was watching a few of PBusardo videos on YouTube and i stumbled onto the two where he visited the FlavourArt facilities in Italy. theres some enlightening info in those videos and i urge everyone to watch them. the people that do DIY flavours should watch them instantly.
anyways, in video #2 they talk about how when they discovered their products were being used by vapers they had to "redo" some of the flavours to make them more "inhale-able" so-to-speak and that if left the way they are they may cause bodily harm. theyre made to be mixed with cooked food ... never for inhaling.
You can now see where this is going on and how this plays in RIP TRIPPERS defense about his side effects.
This really will open your eyes as to why when you mix new flavours or try a new one then you feel rather weird or sick ... blame the flavour. is it right for you?
I dont know ... i sorta think the guy is not lying and perhaps maybe truthful?
the videos are here: video 1. and video 2
I truthfully believe RIP may have described his symptoms with honesty. I also believe the blame is the effects of the flavoring we use in ejuice.anyways, in video #2 they talk about how when they discovered their products were being used by vapers they had to "redo" some of the flavours to make them more "inhale-able" so-to-speak and that if left the way they are they may cause bodily harm. theyre made to be mixed with cooked food ... never for inhaling.

I can remember flavoured cigarettes whiskey, rum, apple, strawberry and I could go on they were available and even normal tobacco has chemicals to alter the flavour so while there is some concern regarding flavours more time and research is needed.
I remember flavored cigarettes too. I also worked in a smoke shop years ago that carried them. We don't see them anymore because Obama signed an executive order banning them in 2009. This included clove cigarettes which I personally used to smoke. This was all in the guise of "save the children". I know this is a bit OT, but since flavored cigarettes were mentioned I wanted to put it out there.
