Good idea,my best friend would probably have fun doing it with me. And I think it's a plus that my top favorites are desserts/custard/creamy and her main preference is fruity & candy type flavors. And neither of us has a regular job so we both need hobbies besides just buying a bunch of stuff and not knowing what to do with it all lol.
That's a pretty solid idea although i think you should include one more person that likes the tobacco flavors and other similar flavors that neither of you like that way we get well rounded opinions on almost all possible flavors. Plus it would be fun to see everyone try all the flavors, even ones they don't normally like because there might be some really good tobacco flavors that people who don't normally smoke tobacco flavors might like.

Also +1 for the idea to include a DIY segment where you review DIY recipies and evem show people how to make their own.

I'd definitely subscribe to that channel.

I'd love to watch reviews from a female (being as I'm female last time I checked). From what I've noticed girls tend to favor different flavor families than guys do and have slightly different palates when it comes to the sense of taste.

Equipment would be great vids too as girls have smaller fingers and less hand strength typically, so to see how a female handles some items would be great info when researching a purchase.

One warning though- have a thick skin. When I did YouTube vids the thing that bothered me was as others have said, being a girl definitely gathers some unsavory comments. I think a full half of the comments I got were asking my age, bra size, or something chauvinistic like that. I just deleted those as they came in and kept going.

Keep us updated on how it goes though. I wanna watch!

Sounds good,when I get it all figured out & set up I'll make sure to post that I did it. What's your channel name?

I have it on my signature here, but here's a link
Danny Brandt - YouTube or you can just search for Danny Brandt and I should come up on the search. I'm doing a "dragon" trick as my picture for my channel. My channel wasn't always a vape channel, so I don't have some fancy creative vape name haha.

Pay no mind to negative comments on youtube , everyone gets those.
I'd say give as much info as you can on what your reviewing.
Sure I may like peach and you may not but does it taste like a peach or a peach lolly. Or worst yet Trough lolly.

Comments on DIY juice would be interesting.
With DIY there is a lot more adjustments to make and therefore things to talk about.
Your deciding on the nic the vg/pg the flavours , the percentages.

Sorry probably an annoying question but about the illegal drug references is it allowed if it's legal where I am? I was going to reply to the post above yours saying I don't know what cigartte throat hits feel like but I do know what a throat hit of something else feels like & I can compare it to that, it's legal for recreational use here so is it only against the rules if it's ellegal where you live or? I couldn't find anything about that in the rules.

Not trying to discourage you or anything, but youre talking about a TOTALLY different type of "throat hit" when you go there. Nothing like what smoking a cigarette feels like. Im not a very high wattage vaper, maybe 20w max, but even lung hits arent that harsh. Not that I would know or anything. :D

Oh ok I wasn't sure but it's all I have to compare it with lol

Don't like illegal drug talk here.
Can do it in youtube , there are some channels on it , reviews and such for mods that cater for it.
Not my thing these days , knew all that stuff twenty plus years ago.

Throat hit can be tweaked with amount of vapour from coils amount of wraps surface area etc , nic strength , pg ratio , flavour strength, resistance , watts.

A strong hit to you may be a mild hit to someone else.

Oh, one word of advice (or personal preference, take it as you will). If you review multiple flavors in one video, put them all in the description and tag so the search can find your video for anyone looking for one specific flavor review, and put links to the times in the video where one flavor review starts.
Lets say i want to find a review on Wintergreen flavor. I find someone doing a review of that + 3 more flavors. I have no idea where in the 12mins of the video the one i'm interested starts so i don't even bother.

I was definitely going to do that,nothing annoys me more than trying to fast forward to the part of the video I'm actually interested in without knowing where to start. But I don't think I'd be doing videos of more than 3 flavors at a time anyway,after that it's either too long of a video or I have a hard time deciding what flavor I like best and why,etc. Or at least that's what I notice when I'm sampling juices at shops,after I sample a few the rest seem to not have the full flavor. Maybe that's just me though idk.

I just thought of another thing that would be interesting (to me at least) for you to do, determine which type of taster you are, in terms of 'non-taster', 'normal taster' or 'supertaster'. The test is pretty easy to do (food colouring on the tongue, count tastebuds in a hole-punch sized area).

That way viewers will get a better idea of whether what you say will apply to them or not (all juice reviewers should do the test IMO).

Far too many juice reviewers don't seem to have any sense of taste, or at least not discerning enough palates to be offering advice on flavours/juices.
If I know that a supertaster tells me that it tastes awesome (with a decent description) then I am far more likely to like it than if a non-taster tells me it is awesome (with a decent description), as I know that the non-taster is likely to miss notes that I find to be obnoxious.

Just a personal gripe I have with juice reviews.
 
I honestly think that this is something that could be truly successful, myself, as a new vapist, I know that it is extremely intimidating going into a market that already feels so much smarter than you do. Between building, mechs, RDA, Regulated, Flavors, Sub Ohms etc....... I think it would be really great to see someone that takes the time to do the simple things, suggest simple setups for people who want to start up, and get something solid so they can stop smoking, without being worried that it may not be whats "In" but to only care about whats easy to use , simple to buy, and a good head start on flavor profiles would really help some people out! go for it i say!

Personally, I really want to see juice reviews that actually make an effort to describe exactly what the juice tastes like to them. How strong each flavor they detect comes out, and how it compares to other liquids they've tried. I feel like the majority of juice reviews are useless... The person just reads the online description, says, "yeah it tastes like that", and just focuses on if it's good or bad. Obviously one should mention if they like it or not.. but to me, the focus should really be on what it tastes like to your palate, and how strong on flavor it is, description aside. Maybe mention at the end what it's 'supposed' to taste like and agree or disagree on the accuracy if you want, but focus on what YOU actually notice and taste when you vape it. But overall, yeah, I say go for it if you can do that. :) Just my two cents.
