Hey @qorax
Hope your well?

I’ve never commented on a YouTube vid to date but appreciate your work none the less. I think I’m subscribed?

Turns out I am subscribed. Keep em coming.
Get yourself a dvarw. You’ll have to get the reducers so you can widen things though.
Great vape. I have it how it came. Perfect for my style
Thanks for the support brother.

Yeah that gave me a laugh. Stuff was probably rebranded if it's not for sale anymore.
*n/m found it with a bugs bunny picture on fasttech.

Sadly that is the international packaging with the Bugs Bunny on it, it also falsely claims "Made in America". The package branded for the US claims "Made in China" and has the non-Bugs rabbit. Just shows how little you can trust that company.

Generally speaking, I don't watch the YouTube reviewers.

If I buy a new atty I will find one wicking vid and that's it... I skip all but the wicking section of the video.

I avoid the weirdos - at all costs. If a reviewer is loud and obnoxious, I move along to the next review. I won't sit through crazy.

I don't care about these reviewers lives, who they are married to how many kids they have or what they eat for breakfast. I'm not I invested in their life, and they aren't my freind.

I just want a heads up on wicking. ... nothing more nothing less. If I want to know if something is any good then I find out from people who own the product and have used it more than once.

That said, the nut job in question seems to be at a healthy weight for his height, although he could stand an additional 10 pounds for his age. He's not 18 any more. I'd look sick if I got my waistline back to a 25 to 26 inch waist... why? Because I'm not 18 any more. (im almost 5'8")

He is small boned so generally speaking he's fine though.

It might be more shocking to those who saw him heavier but bone structure matters. My son at 5"11 has a healthy weight of 200 lbs. He is large boned and solid muscle... he would look sick any other way. My husband on the other hand is 6'2 and around 165-170 lbs, and is solid muscle, but not muscular in appearance like my son is. He is smaller boned, and is at a healthy weight for his build.

So, bone structure and build matters. Same goes for the nutjob in question.

As far as my taste in reviewers - some people find bat### crazy amusing, others dont. I'm just in the later category - not judging.

That is about all I watch for atties as well. Although I do look at the pro/con section just to see if there are any real problems like bad threading, bad airflow control etc.

For devices though random peoples opinions (even those on this forum) pale in comparison to seeing the actual signal on an oscilloscope to see how accurate they really are. Some owners may like a certain device, but if the oscilloscope shows that 25w is really 30w, or that 450F is really 500F; then you could be doing something you don't really want to be doing, and thus those opinions are useless. I value the safety of knowing that the devices I choose to use are at least reasonably accurate and are performing according to the claims made by the manufacturer . There are a lot that don't.

I am not saying that you or anyone else should or should not watch particular reviewers and I certainly have no vested interest if you do or do not, just stating why I choose to do so and the value I find in doing so.

I did, but i didn’t think the opinion would be as hostile as it were.

Only makes me chuckle more though.

All in jest @Opinionated, save me the embarrassment of a rant directed this way...
Please :D
Darlin' that was not Opinionated being hostile, simply stating her opinion. Believe me , you will know when you've been spanked.:oops:

:lol: @Opinionated

I get your way of thinking but you seem a little agitated.
Not invested in their life/not my friend/nut job!

Deep breaths... ;)




Lol... I'm not aggravated.

I was speaking more to this emotional investment some people seem to acquire with "famous" people they neither know nor speak to...

I don't go that route with people just because I saw a few of their videos (or movies, etc)

I do have to actually have some type of personal interaction (conversations, etc) with someone to develop an emotional attachment to them.

Many people seem only need to watch a YouTube video or a movie to develop a false sense of bonding.

That was what I was speaking to more than anything else...

Sorry for coming off judgemental. .. lol.

Not sorry for thinking Rip is bat#### crazy. I just call 'em like I see 'em... if it walks like a duck - as the saying goes... lol

Really? Are you sure? :drool:

I hope your not pulling my leg ;)


:pop:

No, that was decidedly not hostile... merely a mere listing of how I see life... Fact. Fact. Fact. A list as it were, of my opinion.

Hostility is definitely more hostile... and no one here has ever seen me be actually hostile, to my knowledge. . I promise you that. :)

***The last person who ticked me off to the point of my actually becoming/feeling hostile, I married. :) He was and still is, smarter than me.

*** Disclaimer: Dont try this at home. I am just weird in the fact that I find high levels of intelligence fascinating, irresistible and just downright sexy.
