YouTube ejuice reviews by someone who's not a "vape vet"?

Status
Not open for further replies.
The keys to what I will watch are a combination of the reviewer having enough experience to compare what they are reviewing to a deep knowledge base of what's available and some sort of at least minimally entertaining style. For flavor reviews, I hate reviews where the reviewer says they like the flavor or it's a good flavor, but no backup of comparison.

Someone who hasn't tasted enough really good stuff has no idea what really good or marginally bad is.

Oh by simple I definitely didn't mean I wasn't planning on going into detail,I just meant I'm not going to be using the first 8 min of my video explaining what I'm using to vape on it & all the details of that. Basically just what device(s) I'm using and an in depth review of the flavor itself. That seems to be something I can't find on YouTube. I'm a compulsive spender so I have what I consider to be a lot of juices of all different flavors,prices & brands (everything from like some I decided would be a good idea to try when I was drunk that I got at a gas station lol) to "top shelf" to average/inexpensive. So it wouldn't be hard to take a $5 watermelon,an $8 watermelon,& a $16 watermelon or whatever you get the point & compare them.
 
Your friend is right about the lingerie thing, not that particularly but you'll be more successful because of your gender. Investing in a few basic items like a good decent recorder and mic can be had for 100 bucks. You should have a broad taste pallet or cater to a certain base of people like those who enjoy menthol, sweet flavors, desserts, tobacco or etc. I'm popular on an adult website (I don't get naked) reviewing items. Its really not hard.
Lol I wasn't actually going to wear lingerie & he wasn't serious I just thought it was funny. I have my favorite categories but there are plenty of juices not in my favorite category that I like. The only kind I really can't stand and wouldn't review just bc the taste makes me want to vomit is anything tobacco flavored. I do like menthol just not the ones with strong tobacco. I don't see the point in reviewing something I know I'm going to hate and I've never actually smoked a real cigarette so it's not like I could compare it to those. Just leaving that category alone & focusing on all the others seems like a better idea to me.

To my mind, that would be perfect. I know what I like and what I don't so when a reviewer compares something new to something I might be familiar with, giving details of the differences, I have a frame of reference and confidence in the review, and it is much more useful info instead of just info.

Not gonna lie... I kind of have a crush on Rubyroo.

And i've kinda that on tia vapes. :D
I wouln't say a crush, but i like her. :)

Tbh it's nice to see some female vapers doing some reviews aswell. As it is now it's kinda like a thing "only" males do, or it seems like it.
Might be due the fact females tend to get comments which isn't on the subject, so i can see why.

You got a whole crate of this already. :D
 
I'd say go for it, I do videos, but I don't feel I'm all technical. I just describe presentation, scent, and taste when I do e-juices. You can get a good webcam like the Logitech c920, although I use a DSLR for mine. I would say no to the lingerie remark by your friend. Females are more prone to rude comments on YouTube anyways, but I wouldn't watch someone that is wearing that. I don't even follow people on Instagram that are like that. I like watching people that respect themselves, kind of like what Rubyroo, goregorebritnee or cheexievapes wears, t-shirt or tank top.

I have a pretty decent webcam & lights already bc I do some other things online that require it & I'm into photography so I'll be getting the rebel t5i or a d5100 soon so hopefully having decent quality now and good quality later will work in my favor. The lingerie comment (& I guess I should've clarified this in my original post) was a joke,I'm kind of an airhead the majority of the time unless there's a reason for me not to be so it was more sarcastic/teasing. I was just planning on wearing whatever clothes I normally wear which will probably prompt rude comments anyways since it's the internet but rude people online hiding behind keyboards aren't something that has the power to bother me.

To be honest, if you can string more than a couple of words together to form a sentence then you will be already better than 90% of the people on youtube.

I guess the most popular vape personalities have their gimmicks (Rip - wacky/annoying, PB - long winded, Todd - sighing/oooing etc), so I am sure your assets will help bring in the viewers (along with some interesting comments...).

Obviously most men like to watch beautiful women on screen, but for me (not a breast man) there has to be something more to it.
Personally I would like to see blind taste tests of the juices, with decent descriptions of the taste along with comparisons to other 'well known' juices. There are too many reviewers that seem to like everything that they try, so it tells you nothing.

A rating system would be good. You could put your overall list in the 'about' page (I think?) split into categories, along with information about you personally in terms of what flavours you like, juice types, food etc, so that people can gauge whether it might suit their own preferences.

Anyway, I really hope you do well on youtube and get more views than PewDiePie (or something similar) :)

Good ideas,thank you :) blind tests sound fun. And since my personality fits none of those categories maybe people will like that its different. Either that or they'll think I'm a complete ..... bc I'm very sarcastic but I'm also really laid back so quite a few not too intelligent people think I'm .....y lol. Guess I'd have to try to sound a little nicer in videos.

Is swearing not allowed or something? I thought I read the rules when I joined but my post above is edited. ... lol why can't people swear when this is supposed to be 18+?

Family friendly in case little ones are browsing over your shoulder. I know, I don't get it either. :p

Well, you have whet my appetite, I am a big fan of sarcasm (despite it being the lowest form of wit), so I look forward to your brand of reviews...

It is a long shot, but I am hoping your sarcasm is more subtle (like British sarcasm), rather than the in-your-face American standard sarcasm (like Chandler from Friends - yes, a very current reference).

And no, no swearing allowed here.

Opponents to vaping are numerous. I take it as a given that this forum gets read by ANTZ and other interested parties. Easy to quote some posts out of context to make vapers look bad. Same why mentioning of any substances considered illicit to consume is edited.

Little point in giving your opponents the ammo to shoot you with :)

OT: I get the illicit substance refrences makes sense, but swearing. Unless you enjoy reading ECF with your 8 year old (which brings up a whole 'nother issue). :lol:

Well, if most vapers would have total leeway on writing what they think about the antics of some politicans concerning vaping without a modicum of restraint...

Would be like opening floodgates :)

It's said, that when people pray, count, or swear they most often relapse into their native tongue...

Guess I could learn cussing in 100 odd lingos pretty quick then :D

Lol nothing like Chandler,the majority of it is either too subtle for people to get or they don't get it bc I'm pretty calm & laid back so they don't expect it & think I'm serious, I'm not sure if one or the other or both. Which is why I thought I might get the rep of being a "female dog" (since swearing is against the law,)

Juice reviews are so annoying when the dude either sits there silent for 10 minutes vaping and keeps saying, "Yeah it's pretty good. " Or never stops talking. There's no noodle ground. Just a brief flavor description, hope you like it, how it vapes. Really don't need much more than that. A juice review should probably be 2-3 minutes, up to 10 if you do the lingerie thing...:2cool:

True, and then we would lose the whole evade the censor and still get the point across curse word game. :D
