YouTube review weirdos

I like DJL

I can't believe I forgot Daniel. Yes - I don't actually watch all of his vids but I absolutely make it a point to go pop a Like onto each one. I find him impossible not to like. If someone doesn't like him, I'd be willing to bet they also like to kick little dogs, and steal candy from kids on Halloween.

Thanks, Eskie. Sometimes my brain drops packets (which I know you know).

"Work of mouth."

I'm fond of vaping with Vic. He's mostly straightforward and seems knowledgeable. Keeps his nails neat, too (I've developed a sensitivity to manicures watching review videos).

One of my favourites! I don't think it gets more uncool than Vic. He's just a dude that vapes. I can't think of anything he does that would make him cool. No visible tattos, piercings, expensive cars, video games, cringy jokes -- just a simple man doing simple reviews.

And @Mark Todd for whatever reason, us Canadians seemingly love him. I'm not sure why but we just do.

Both are great. And I'm surprised as an American I can understand most of what they say. I particularly like Mark because he tends to review items I'm unlikely to find or know about due to availability (and on some affordability) but it's fun to see some of the limited edition and high end items out there.

The first time I watched Vaping with Vic, he put 18650 batts in a 21700 capable mod and then talked .... because it wouldn't hit the max wattage, dude put in the best batteries to hit the top wattage, really. My first and last time watching him.

Was it a regulated device? Although I agree that Vic uses a subjective opinion to determine whether a regulated device is able to hit its max wattage, a regulated device is not dependent on the current delivery of it’s cell(s) like a non regulated device. If the cells used where at full capacity ~4.2 volts, regardless of their certification, then the device should be able to reach it’s full advertised wattage by boosting the voltage.

Yeah, it was regulated and it was obvious it wasn't going to hit top wattage with 18650's. Just like some of the single batt mods tell you 80 watts with 18650 and 100 watt with the 21700.

Reaching the maximum wattage on many devices is a difficult task regardless of the cell specification. Below is a DNA250C utilizing 2x 18650 cells. You can see it struggles to reach it’s claimed 200 watts depending on resistance. With a 0.53 ohm coil it is only able to reach 103.8 watts – this should be easily obtainable with 2x 18650 cells, especially with 7.36 applied volts which only equals ~14 amps per cell. The cells used are Sony 25 amp VTC5A’s

I wouldn’t consider Vic’s opinion on maximum wattage to be taken as an objective fact for he lacks the data to prove his subjective view. But that is not to say he is incorrect in stating he feels the device is not reaching it’s claimed output.

I tend to watch YT vape reviews when I can't find good written reviews, and that is becoming regular today.
DJLSb, Todd, Pbusardo, Mike Vapes, Zophie are my preferred. I cannot stand personality shows, or excessive mannerisms.
What drive me away from YT vape reviews is the partiality I'm perceiving. Few quick examples may explain my point better.
Take Pbusardo review of the Yihi ML class. What is the purpose of reviewing a failed mod? Why he didn't wait for a new functional device to complete the review? Who benefited from the review of a non-functional ML class mod?

Same with Pbusardo review of Dicodes n. 6. The screen image was distorted because of the battery unability to cope with a 0.05 Ohm coil, but he fault the mod for this.

The manufacturer responded the German way, as all new Dicodes devices now include a direct reading of the battery internal resistance, a pretty unique and useful feature.

Last example, the DJLSb review of the Therion. He destroys the mod on video when he isn't able to locate the four screws hiding under the two side wooden (or CF) strips, which are kept in place with double-sided adhesive tape.
What's the purpose in discouraging viewers from dismantling the Therion mod? I replace the board in the Therion all the times.

Again, mine are minor gripes. I can get good knowledge from their videos without actually buying all the mods.
