I thought his early ones were pretty good but, don't dig this character.
I talked about this in my thread here: in defense of Rip Trippers side effects video.
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.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.
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 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.
In response to flavoring affecting him or anybody Rips own line of liquid uses flavoring from companies known to use diketones in their flavoring and fought with our ignored inquiries. Capellas are some shady people.
FlavourArt is the only major company completely dedicated to safer vaping.
Hangsen claims to be.
Flavorers Apprentice at least makes it known about certain flavors.
DIYFS and Ecigexpress(own line) both swore their flavorings didn't contain any diketones when I asked 2 years ago. Now at least Diyfs has a warning on certain flavorings.
The irony in Rip complaining about side effects of flavoring when he uses the shadiest of flavoring companies in his own line of liquid he pedals to the masses is just called karma....
Really, that's your response? By the way, the sky is blue, water is wet, and fire is hot.How many people died last year world wide from inhaling Cigarette Ingredients | R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company
Now were down to two / three of the lung irritant compounds, testing confirmed 100 X's less, hell I'd be happy with 50 % less .............. shady ......karma ? you may want to search a little deeper into RAI, these people put a whole new meaning to the word business development / "shady" ...............
People, me included, P.O.'ed because He CLAIMED NOT to be Selling anything, but the whole Video was Commercialized and he even had Links that made him Money......That IS SELLING and a COMMERCIAL.
He should have stuck to what he created and left well enough alone. Now people see just how far he is willing to go for a Buck.
Video pulled to minimize damage.![]()
Yes the flavorings from company C are diacytel free but, not diketone free. In fact they contain acytel propynal(spelling?) Which has been found to possibly be even worse than diacytel.
We should all be very P.O.'ed because he posted on F****ng YOUTUBE that there are HEALTH related SIDE EFFECTS cause by vaping...
The last thing this community needs is someone with over half a million subscribers to go on the "air" and talk about the "side effects" of vaping... who TF cares if he's trying to sell something, but he obviously didn't consider the side effects of his dang video... the media would it eat that alive.
[/QUOTE]I'll field this one.
Rip's notoriety as a reviewer places him in a position of trust within the vaping community. Like it or not, he's a role model to some and his celebrity comes with responsibilities and obligations.
One of which is protecting vapers and our lifestyle/hobby.
Not parroting. I was one of the first to express concern in 2014. My thread died. I avoid these flavorings and I really like good custard. I can make that choice because I have the information to come to a conclusion for myself.Really, Link the Non Biased study please.
We get enough grief as is. Don't parrot.
If, Might, Could, Possibly, May, Associated with -Big, little words when used just right.

Joe end-user going to overpriced local B&M hasn't a clue as he buys his hipster facial hair $30/30ml custard flavored vape.
Is everything conclusive? Not even close. Maybe 20 years from now diketones at vaping flavoring levels are harmless. Maybe not. People should be aware though.
Vendors/producers should be taking it upon themselves to either not use or make customers aware certain liquids contain flavoring that may or may not be harmful in the long run.
Half of Rips liquid line up are cakes and custards....
Watch it pal. You're questioning the guy who pioneered being concerned about things.If you are referring to the side effects, of what this post is about, (calf and forearm cramps, Hyperthyroidism, dry skin on knuckles) please explain to me how this has remotley anything to do with flavoring
