Where to watch for the next big thing?

[hgmalvo]

I've been vaping for over 3 years now but my experience has come solely from personal trial and error as well as a few youtube videos here and there. For the most part, I keep up to date on new products with a small handful of vendors that I frequent. However, my suppliers aren't always up to date with the latest craze in e-cig supplies. Occasionally though I see something new that Grimm or PBusardo are reviewing and then I feel like I'm behind on things.

So, my question is this:

Is there a specific forum here that focuses directly on new products entering the market to help notify us consumers of what's out there? If not, are there specific websites that at least offer this service? If there's a new type of carto or clearo or PV...stuff like that. I prefer being able to look at some reference that has no sales or marketting bias in their presentations.

If anyone has any relevant links they wish to share or just want to PM them to me...I would be grateful. I would also like to note that I don't/can't really attend Vapor conventions or meet ups. I live in a rural area with little to no access and even if I could my finances and health don't always allow it. I only say that because I have thought of that as an option already and checked it off my list

Thanks in advance!

I don't know about a certain fourm per say but i look at kanger.com , gotvapes.com , and a few other sites. Just when you see stuff reviewed alot of times it's still a few months out before mass product release that I have noticed. Take the protank for example, was to be at retailers on 16th of march, but just looked and they will be shipping from China on the 20th, add 10 days around to get to suppliers and show in-stock ect...bottom line watch venders tweets and there facebook sites.

Depends upon what niche of vaping that you are interested in. The sub-forums right here on ECF are good for particular items and enthusiasts seem to catch wind of new products faster than the rest of the general forum. For instance, a new submersable dripping atomizer tank just came onto the market, and the tank people naturally presented links and videos and discussion in their specialty forum.

There are some you tube reviewers who often demo new products about the time that they are first brought to market.

Scott from ecigreview E-Cig-Reviews.com - YouTube and

PBusardo PBusardo's Vaping Reviews - YouTube are the two best ones in my opinion.

VaporJoes is a good blog that also presents new products.VaporJoes.com - Deals on Vaping Goods

i usually just keep up with PBusardo's videos he normally gets and reviews new items a good week or so before they are even available,
i also just keep up in the new posts here mentioning anything i dont know about,and never hurts to go to the shops you frequent and hit there "new" tab and see what they got in that week.

I can appreciate your question. ECF is certainly the largest and most robust source of ecig info on the intertubes but it's just so danged big it can be difficult to keep an eye on all of the good discussions going on. If you're looking for a watering hole that is boiled down a bit, in other words, not nearly as big but still quite likely to cover the 'big news,' then head on over to http://www.reddit.com/r/ecr

Glad you've joined ECF! If you choose to get verified, you can watch the co-op forums for new products. Many of the co-ops inform us about the newest things weeks before vendors stock them. The co-op participants give a lot of feedback when they get their stuff, so it's pretty objective. At that point you've seen the approximate real cost and know it's strengths and weaknesses. Many vendors won't risk stocking a product until they've tried it and there is some feedback in the community, so there's a lag after introduction.
