Most of them can lose the intro music too.

It's funny, pbusardo whined about intro music on videos, and now all of his videos do the exact same thing. Personally I don't mind intros as long as they're not longer than 10 seconds... If it's some 3 minute intro, you can bet your ... I'm skipping it.

Yes yes yes, the music intros drive me up the wall. Energetic stereo music introducing a non-stereo regular boring human being that now tries to be oh so cool like the music intro. haha. yeh, that takes the cake. Always a huge let down. (even if they were cool, it would be a let down, because it zaps from stereo to the opposite of stereo).

I like Chris's intro, Scott's intro, and a few others I've seen. Unfortunately, I can't see many of them to find more I might like, due to my bandwidth usage. If you're out there, I can't find you, you'll have to find me. :D

    Out of all the different stuff Ive seen on youtube about vaping, 99% of is terrible, unprofessional, webcam and windows movie maker crap.

    Ill watch Pbusardo. From the first video I saw, I liked his personality, and I like that hes got videos on a whole ton of different things. Stuff Im not even gonna buy, but its just fun to watch a video about vaping stuff. And, stuff I would buy, its nice to get an opinion on it.

    Ill also watch GrimmGreen, and Im sure in real life hes a nice, normal fella who is probably chill to hang out with, but hes got a couple manerisms on camera that just make me cringe. But, every now and then something he does is entertaining, so, I dont mind his videos. And his line of Juices sounds tasty, they're on my short list.



    Pretty much anything else Ive seen, Im not interested in. I haven't seen everything, maybe there is other good stuff out there, but, from what IVE seen, this is it for me.

    SeaTownLassy,

    That's awesome! I quit smoking with snus and nasal snuff. I haven't used it in a while though other than the other day when I used some toque quit.

    My favorite snus is Ettan los and my favorite nasal snuff is F&T high dry toast
    HDT for the win!

    To me, juice reviews on YouTube are not right. Tastes are subjective. I would rather read it here from people who have run the Gauntlet of juice vendors. Someone reviewed my favorite juices on YouTube and cringed and ewwwwwwwed at them. All I can say is "Really?!" Have they been steeped? Is the atomizer fresh? Is your battery charged? There are too many variables for a juice review! Someone who vapes strictly tobacco or menthol may not like fruit, or reverse! I have an example-

    To clarify, I vape 100% VG (PG sensitive) and apparently the one doing the review was partial to PG flavors. I also saw this person doing a review of juice while obviously sick.

    That leaves the 1 percent that can afford fancy equipment, and the time to edit and market videos so they become mainstream. Yes there are crappy videos out there that have people just stupidly blowing huge plumes in the dark or just saying " Dis juice is the bomb! Go get it!", but viewers that base reviews around a type of professional production or hop on the popular reviewer bandwagon may keep many vapers from posting their own views about something they like.

    I never understood why people get so worked up over something as simple as a juice review. Its just that person telling his or her opinion of that juice.
    You are way over thinking the whole process;-) I think they have their place and they give the new vapor a place to start. Lets say you want a fresh peach over a candy peach.

    A juice review will most likely help out there and keep the person from having to buy several samples and reordering the one they like. I think most people are smart enough to know just because Jim or Jane say X brand is the best its just their opinion and its a point of reference not a given.
    As we grow they become less and less needed but not to long ago you pretty much had to go online most people did not have another vapor they could ask in person.

    By all means, video juice reviews should not be banned! Many of them are entertaining as heck! I can watch Crab Juice all day :oops: But I trust the kind folks on ECF to guide me, since they take the time to steep their juices and vape on them for a while. The videos I am ragging on are the ones where they pull the bottles out of the envelope, open the lid, sniff, shrug, and start vaping just to get the review done and over with.

    Just curious why so many people are so quick to discourage people from posting a review you are on there looking for a review so isnt it better to get several points of views from several different people. You can get a good picture of what ever its your looking for by checking out what PBusardo, Todd and Scott as well as the new enthusiast who is just showing his opinion of something.

    The whole thing makes for a well rounded informed decision before you drop a little cash. So Im glad each and every person who took their time to post a review or tutorial for us did so. Most of us would be lost with out them.

    How many of the critics have done a written review let a lone a video review? Its a good way to be interactive in the ecig community and I give a atta boy and girl to each and every one of them!

    Unlike most, I think I've only viewed about 12 youtube videos of ANY kind in my life.

    That being said, 6 of them have been vaping videos in the last couple of weeks, but obviously I'm no youtube expert.

    I have seen a couple of Todd's though and enjoyed both of them (and subscribed). Next time perhaps I'll watch when wearing my Royal Stewart Plaid.

    Here here buzz! For those who don't have a B&M where you can hold a piece of equipment and (hopefully) get feedback on said equipment, youtube reviews are a great resource.

    I was reading about the itaste v3 and a vid of Todd's was posted in the thread.. his positive review and accent sealed the deal :lol: :wub:
