I enjoyed watching Rip early on in his career. He's gone through 3 phases. Early on he seemed like a "normal" guy who made good videos. Then he became this wild bombastic character. I didn't care for his new style, but he still made informative videos.

I was kinda shocked when he lost all of his weight. Looked like he had a terminal disease, but apparently he went on a health kick and took it a little too far. He looks so bad that I can't watch him anymore regardless of his content.

My favorite is PBusardo, but a lot of people say he talks too much and his videos are too long. He does talk a little too much, but he is the most complete reviewer of the important details that I'm interested in, IMHO.

As someone who struggles to keep the weight on, I feel some sympathy.

Bad things happen when you rap when you shouldn't though.... Hopefully he hasn't joined the "I will live forever if I forcibly starve myself," movement. Yes, it's a real thing, my stepfather was into it and the things he juiced... :( Not to mention deciding to intake his coffee via enema (I always drank tea when visiting my mom's house).

But my stepdad died of cancer. He tried regular treatment and then decided it wasn't for him, which was a shame as he would have lived decades longer..... Although, he was the type of dude who always seemed to have a very hard time being on earth and had a rough childhood, but I always thought it was a shame. RIP, stepdad (and I hope he got the sort of new age-y heaven he was seeking).

And, I hope rip tripper gets a little fatter, if he's skeletal. I won't be taking a look, I worked on an Eating Disorder unit for long ENOUGH.

^ understood Anna.

Who’s your favourites? these days mine are;
Pbusardo. The way I vape, love it.

My absolute favourite is/was probably @qorax and I’ve got a few of the pieces he has. My first real good atty was the phenomenon I think (or was it the kfun lite?)

Fantastic piece. We parted ways a little when I discovered that he prefers a more open draw. He bought the Ka, I bought the Dvarw. We haven’t spoken since.
He likes a restricted direct lung hit. Sad times... :cry:

Edit; we have spoken since. A helpful guy as he has things I have. Or that I lust after

I still watch DJlsb vapes, Mike vapes, and watch some of the vlogs occasionally. Mostly when I get wind of something I might enjoy. Now that I've found my vape style my yt interest has dwindled. More often than not I fast forward to see a deck or pros/cons. Vape gear is so improved now I tend to wait for the written and user reviews and comments.

He's 160lbs @ 6'1". I don't see a problem.

I’m a manlet at 5’9.
(Really it’s 5’85. That 5 is important and I remember that we round up at fives :facepalm:)
Anyway I’m 161 @ that height. I look far from fat. I’m a small guy.
That dudes getting lanky. Yeah I know the bmi indicates a healthy weight but I’d want 2 b around the 190 mark myself.
Go gym and be jacked at 6.1
What a waste of height...
Horses for courses though I guess.
Being in a healthy range is better than being too fat but it takes away from his jollyness.
Plus, tip rippers from youtube loses similarity now.

I have known a few folks that lost quite a bit of weight over a short period of time. They do look a bit ill until they grow into their slimmer body. Good for him if he lost the weight by choice.

BTW, I've never watched any of his videos so maybe shouldn't have commented :D
