GrimmGreen, although I wasn't aware of the others. I'll be checking them out.

I was lucky enough to see MissNomad89's video series when I started vaping 3 weeks ago before they were pulled. (more educational than a review, I know, but she is excellent)

I've seen that name many times, I hope she posts her videos again!

I like Grimmgreen reviews the most.

I have a question... does anybody knows how reviewers work? I mean, are they independent reviewers that buy a product and make a video / review on it or companies contact them and send them products for them to test?

 

[Dicot]

I don't really have a specific favorite, but I regularly watch Pbusardo, Grimmgreen and Vapebabe.

Most reviewers buy their stuff like Pbusardo, however some of the bigger, more popular reviewers, like Grimmgreen and Vapebabe, get a good portion of their juice and gear sent to them for free to review. Usually if the reviewer got it for free to test they will mention it either in the video or in the description.

Don't have one the "view" that I have looked at I would hope they don't live next to my sister!

Most of us do it as a hobby. Different reviewers have different ways of acquiring product for review.

I've been getting approached by companies a lot lately, and only accept doing the review if it's something new(ish?) that hasn't been widely seen. I don't accept anything in the form of free stuff or compensation. Other than that- the reviews reflect my purchases or something loaned to me by another reviewer. Although as a note my reviews don't cover everything I own.

But that's how I handle it. Others... could be different. And I'm not making the claim that "my method renders the best review". Ultimately reviewers do the review the way they want to do it, and the vaping community either finds it useful or not.

So there's at least a little background on it.

I have enjoyed many of the YouTube reviews, but I have to say that I learned a lot when I was new to vaping from Cozzicon. His videos are clear and very tutorial. They were a big help when I was learning. (cleaning and such). So a belated thank you to the Cozz!

If you spend a LOT of money on a mod, and you have lots of mods you spent money on sitting next to it= impartial review.

We see the fanboys everyday. They spend money on a mod, and swear up and down its the greatest thing ever made. I would hope so, because if you knew it was bad, you wouldnt have bought it. Now when your holding a $200 mod in your hands, and you BOMB it: well, truth hurts. Paying for all the mods also means you don't care about kissing ... to the retailers.

Fanboys and people hired to post on the forums will tell us how a mod works and all the great stuff about it. Who can we count on to tell us NOT to buy something because its a fragile POS, or there is lead solder in it, or it leaks, or the door falls off, ect.. ect..

I'm very sorry.

I do my best.

Cozzicon will tell you not to buy something. He told the viewers not to buy the Gogo. He concentrated on the fact that the outdated chinese manual that came with the gogo made some obscure reference to "Health claims" and showed us an eyelash hair that was stuck to the cartomizer. The eyelash bit reminded me of a Monty Python skit. Didn't cover the specific performance of the product nor was he aware at the time that the carto used a horizontal coil(one of the biggest breakthroughs in recent cartomizer design) instead of a vertical coil. When asked if he would do another review, concentrating on the performance of the product and the effectiveness of the cartomizer, sans hair and the outdated Chinese manual, he stated that he didn't want to do a fluff piece.

So yes there is a reviewer who will take a stand,stubbornly cross his arms and pan an item based on his perceptions. And that reviewer is Cozzicon.

I'm not sure the OPs intent in making this thread was to debate various reviewers. I think they were asking for favorites. I'm sorry you didn't like the work I did on that review, or the resulting video. I do work hard at it.

However, I don't want to see the OPs thread hijacked. If you'd like to critique my work, feel free to open a separate thread on it. Where I can answer freely, without disturbing a discussion.

But it is indeed true. I have no problem panning a product when I think it's appropriate.

No one else has mentioned it but when I was beginning my research into the world of vaping I came across a number of very helpful reviews and instructional videos by Doctor Vapor.

If your talking about the link below I just watched it. Where did he tell anyone not to buy it? I watched it twice just to be sure. His conclusion about the Go-Go was "This is a good E-Cig', "This is a great E-Cig". He never said not to buy it. He stated he wouldn't buy it. His issues were geared toward other things and he stated his decision.

I came to a total different conclusion after watching it. I'd suggest others interested watch it and come to their own conclusion.

I have only seen one of his juice reviews and some instructional videos but I find him easy to watch.

 

[Del Boy]

Theres an english guy called scott. I forget who he reviews for and i don't know if he's getting paid. But i find him clear and easy to listen too. I've seen lots of other good reviewers but i neglect to remember their names.

Oh yeah i like BMWjen too. The reviews are ok but i think she looks real nice...lol (sorry Mr. BMWjen no offence)

 

[Sly9377]

PBusardo's reviews are the best! Funny, but to the point and never any sugar coating. He gives very informative and intriguing reviews

Don't think I was hijacking the thread at all. I was responding to Stownz direct question, "Who can we count on to tell us NOT to buy something because its a fragile POS, or there is lead solder in it, or it leaks, or the door falls off, ect.. ect..". And I brought you into the mix with direct reference to the gogo review. People don't even have to watch it, just read the title of the review to know you were panning it. "Gogo, a fantastic e-cig that fails"

Truthfully when pressed for my opinion on my favorite reviewer I would have to answer, You, as you're the reviewer I've watched the most and seek out your reviews on various products. Just found that particular review out of character.

I like that XDoctor guy's reviews. But maybe I'm partial...

He goes by igetcha69 on youtube. Definitely the highest quality video of any reviewer, too.
