First on my list, if only as a special mention, as he isn't active making em, would be Dr. Vapor. His Altsmoke.com instructional videos saved me a TON of time on the hows/whats/n/whys of vaping, and for that he is partially responsible for me being over three months completely smoke free. Prior to that, I vaped, but smoked, and hunted for something better than the junk that I was using.
As to "current" reviewers, this is my youtube subscription list:
1. Grimm Green
2. PBusardo
3. Igetcha69
4. VST
5. Vapebabe
6. FieldofVaper
7. Geekgirlvaper
8. Shrek (Dave "leggomyears")
9. Bigicedawg
10. Cozzicon
11. Smoke2Vape
Basilray used to be on it, but after seeing his ego-t comparison, and then the fawning love of the darwin and the ecco? (the guitar shaped feeder mod priced around that of a space shuttle solid rocket booster) that sub got dumped.
Personally, since its been bandied about here, I'd say that it really doesn't matter if the reviewer purchased the device or was GIVEN it to review, as long as the reviewer is honest and upfront about things. In this regard, I think that igetcha69 (Scott in the UK) is one of THE BEST reviewers simply because he pulls no punches regardless of purchase or not. See the video of his reaming of the darwin for a good example.
Grimm prefers not paying so he doesn't have "skin in the game", while Cozz has a different mindset. I find both are valid for the person doing the review.
Its the fawning gushing "wowser" reviews over what amounts to basically a battery box that drive me a lil' nuts these days. A year or so ago, these were just coming into the game, and the gushing was worth it. Now...not so much. Now the reviewers should be demanding better tech, and up to date features, and not LED readouts from 1982, or "punch the button 80 times to set the option"...a decidedly wonderful technical innovation circa.1978. (my opinion.)
Anymore, unless the mod does something completely different than all else, the reviews I pay attention to the most deal with new technology to improve vaping...the things we ATTACH to said battery boxes/tubes.
My 2 cents.
