My pet peeve is a 40 minute review in which 20 minutes are spent finding a pair of scissors for the "detailed unboxing". Plan ahead people....harrumph.

Or when you have to stare at a Britney Spears poster and all of a sudden a random cat shows up lol.

While I agree with the fact that we need to reasearch the products ourselves, saying that all reviewers out there are doing it for freebies is just not true... And I think it is ungrateful to think that way.

The amount of time that they have to put into it, doing the research, do the review itself, edit the videos, buying good cameras and mics, respond to comments, etc etc... far exceed the price of the x tank or the y device that they are reviewing for you.

Steam Turbine,

Its the weekend. I hope you have come up with some controversial posts for us. Cable is on the fritz and I need some entertainment.

I have seen some good ones and I have seen some real duds. Wherein I go, "I cant beleive I watched the whole thing". Rambeling about with out even an outline of a script. the worst i remember is the one guy, was doing a cig-a-like with a charging case. All he did was open and close that case over and over and over and over......

i watched a bunch of reviews on youtube when i first got into vaping. youtube is SATURATED with losers looking for a handout or referral money. i think you should post the link because these guys are shills who hurt the industry because they direct new vapers to crappy 808 batteries and over priced pre filled cartos. i think these guys should be exposed for the low life shills they are but that's just me. i was able to see through it when i started as i'm sure most people are, but it's really not cool what these guys are doing.

I also trust PBusardo only because I know what he likes and doesn't like. There have only been two juices I've tried because of his reviews/remarks and both of them have become faves. He likes melon flavors. I don't so I know to NEVER try those no matter how much he approves of them.

I definitely agree that, by not providing us with a link to the review you are referring to, you are doing an injustice to those others who may see that review and make a decision based on it. It might just be a bias on your part. You may know the reviewed item on a more intimate level than the rest of us.

I enjoy watching reviews, Especially on the products i cant afford. maybe its just the shiny parts distracting me. I like to see the all up close and personal look of it torn apart. I never take one review to heart though, i try to find written reviews here and a few more video reviews on it, and if I'm lucky i can actually talk to someone in person who has one. I'm socially deprived in the vaping world out here so most times I have to bite the bullet and gamble on certain aspects of a product.
Someone mentioned it earlier but I dig that cat's random cameos haha
