Favorite is PBusardo, closely followed with the vaping Greek and Rip Trippers. Great information and technical stuff if that's what you are looking for. Speaking of Rip Trippers, seems like the longer his beard grows, the crazier he seems to get, especially when you look back at his earlier videos where he came off as a pretty normal guy.

For entertainment, definitely IndoorSmokers and Safer Vapers.

Igetcha69 & Todds ecig reviews are nice too if you are interested with unique stuff, although I find Todd annoying when he starts off with his long village idiot smiles.

Definitely not a fan of GrimGreen, listening to him talk and watching his clumsy builds is far more annoying to me than watching Todd stare off into space. There is also some old guy w/ a beard that has a painfully long and annoying intro, forgot his name but comes across to me as someone who would always interrupt you or try to correct you when you try to speak lol. Probably not the case, but just have that preconception of him for some reason. ;)

Been checking out Suck My Mod too, pretty good reviews so far I think.

For hardware reviews, Busardo by a country mile. If he doesn't have a video on the product in question, then I'll seek out Grimm, Todd, Riptrippers.

For tutorials/general info, all of the above. Riptrippers seems to do the best coil-building tutorials.

For entertainment value, Twisted420.

Juice reviews seem to be useless no matter who makes them.

GrimmGreen seems like a nice dude, but he does have a nasty tendency to ramble. Altogether I find Busardo to be the most useful and consistently watchable reviewer in the bunch. He'll sometimes veer off on a tangent or spend what seems like a gratuitously long time covering really simple concepts, but if you want a thorough breakdown from a general-consumer standpoint, he'll feed it to you as efficiently as anyone else out there, and more efficiently than most.

Personally, though, I wish that there were more old-fashioned text-and-picture-style reviews.

pbusardo, riptrippers, todds ecigreviews, rubyroo, indoorsmokers, grimmgreen

nice!

For me: PBusardo (I find his personality, and his demeanor my favorite of the 3 vaper channels I subscribe to. I also love how well-rounded his reviews are. Beginners and advanced users alike can learn from him.

Rip Trippers - just recently subscribed to him. If you are a vape ENTHUSIAST, and you enjoy RBAs and/or RDAs...this IS the best channel on youtube. He truly has a passion for building coils, and truly has an interest and curiosity about the design of the products, how to improve them, etc.

GrimmGreen - my least favorite of the 3. Its been a while since I"ve even watched a video of his....but I'm still subscribed. Even though he is my least favorite of the 3, he is one of 3 vape channels out of thouands that I subscribe to, so obviously he does a good job.

My issue with rip is the edits every 2 seconds. Honestly annoys me to watch

Actually that is one of my favorite things about him.

Go back and watch his early videos, from 2012. You can see SO MUCH PROGRESS AND CHANGE. This is a guy who truly strives to CONSTANTLY improve the quality of his videos.

If you go back and watch his early videos, you will see how LONG the videos are. Lots of talking, no editing, and much more boring. He realized over time that making the videos SHORT, to the POINT, and adding spice and personality to them is the key to gaining and keeping viewers.

He edits his videos down to keep them short and to the point, which I think is great. Lots, and I mean LOTS of videos on youtube I never finish, or pass up, because the person talking goes on and on, and sometimes off topic or off point, and it wastes too much time.

In a weird way I like how grimmgreen rambles. With his videos I can put them on in the background and listen to it while building a coil or something. The fact that he rabbles shows a lot about his personality and I tend to connect more with that. Plus a lot of people rag on his builds but... I like them because that's not much better than what I can do lol :D


Sent from my iPhone because I'm awesome like that.

I subscribe to Pbusardo, Rip, Todd and Scott.. I don't watch unless they review something of interest. With Pbursado.. I watch everything and enter all his contests.. Rip is a bit too much most of the time and I'm not really interested in all the different coils. Todd reviews highend mech after mech and it gets redundant so I only watch when he reviews something different or interesting. I love to hear both Todd and Scott talk :blush:

I also watch Grimm Greene sometimes but he lost much of his credibility when he couldn't figure out why the provari kept giving an E2 error when trying to run a dc carto at 6v. That was a while back but I would think he would have been vaping long enough to know what amp and watt limits were.

Busardo is probably the most thorough reviewer I see. He seems to be just a normal vaper guy like me. Not into sub-ohming or chasing clouds.

Grimm Green: Is enjoyable but he needs a consistent "script" like Busardo seems to have. Green just seems to wander through his reviews without a compass.

That RipTripper dude just scares me.

And basically... I avoid everyone that does strictly juice reviews. I really don't care how it tastes "to them". :D

Now and then, I watch one of smxdrifter's (SuperXDrifter here on ecf) vids. Cutlerylover does the occasional vape review and I end up watching most of them, but he's not in to the same sort of vape gear or juice I am.

But that's it for my subscriptions that cover vape related stuff. I used to subscribe to pretty much everyone doing vape vids, and some of them were pretty entertaining and informative, but I lost interest in knowing every detail about every device and every nuance of every juice.

My favorite is PBusardo. Yeah, his videos get longer and longer, but he is the most thorough with the most technical info which I appreciate. Good closeup photography lately. Plus, his tastes are similar to mine; our favorite setups are the same: Kayfun on a Provari. And he still enjoys a good cartotank vape like myself. :thumb:

GrimGreene is entertaining, but not technically inclined. The belching on camera gets on my nerves (edit this please).

Todd is boring to me (sorry Mark). Rip Trippers is sometimes too sensational and over-the-top.

Scott (IGetcha69) is very good, but the English accent bothers me sometimes. Blows the best vape rings.
