Thank you thank you thank you OP.
I know taste is subjective, but damn why post a review of something if you're just going to passively praise it. I'm fairly new to the vaping world, but I could tell you right now that I can only handle YT review in small doses. I'd rather read pages of reviews than watch crappy videos. If reviewers heeded to these guidelines, i would watch them more often.
1. KILL the music intro. Music taste varies, not all of your watchers are gonna want to sit through your awesome music. Plus if you have some heavy/singer sounds like a tortured bear/death metal playing for an intro, and then proceed to review something like MsT's Strawberry Shortcake....guess how seriously I will take you. One night almost every video I checked out started off with heavy metal or smooth jazz...wtf.
2. Don't show me the box it came in. Cardboard is not that interesting.
*unless the package came from amazon. amazon shipping is always amusing.
3. Don't be afraid to say something negative and if you do, stand by what you say. Fellow consumers are the best support we have. I personally value user/peer review over "expert" reviews.
4. If you are going to put yourself on a public forum and share what may be valuable information, take some time to familiarize yourself with the english language. Read up and practice public speaking before you press record. I'm not asking for perfection, but good lord enunciate!! keep the "Uh and ummmm's" to a minimum. Don't record while you're high or intoxicated. Please talk with some sort of enthusiasm. I hate people who speak like they don't give two _____'s about what they are doing.
Just my $0.02
I so agree with your comments 1000% Purple Bandit-
When I started vaping I would go to the UTube Videos hoping for some instruction, but I found the presentation quite off putting- not just juice reviews but general reviews of everything relating to vaping-
Is it too much to ask for the presenters to tidy themselves up a little? Do we need pounding heavy metal and swirling colours,
Do we need to have to look down the throat and see the tonsils of the presenter, as he demonstrates his vapour blowing ?
After spending a coupling of hours trawling through messy clothes, messy hair,slang, dark glasses, masses of vapour, horrible music , open mouths blowing vapour at the camera, many potential vapers older than 18 will simply wonder what the heck?? then take some aspirin and wonder why they wanted to do this in the first place,
Guess I'm just too old!
