I've been going back and watching PBusardo's older videos. It's almost like watching the evolution of vaping.

Really the best, fun to watch, and informative. Guess I need to go back and look at some of the older ones, would bring back some memories. Old fart I am...

I met Phil, Nick Green, and Dimitri at VapeBash. They are all just like they are in their videos. I watch their reviews because they are people I would like to hang out with and vape with.

For rebuilding, I tend to watch more of Todd and Scott. Every time Todd says "suck" I gotta giggle.

I listen to all of their opinions, and then decide for myself. I am not going to buy something just because someone else likes it.

P. Busardo is the only reviewer I ever saw come right out and call something a piece of junk. I think it's a toss-up on who does the best instructional reviews, Phil or Todd, both are great when it comes to showing how it's done. Vape Girl is the great philosopher of the vaping world IMHO.

I think it also depends on what you want the reviews for.

I think Grimm Green is great for newbies, and PBusardo is great for people who don't like to fuss with stuff. Todd is great if you get a lot of satisfaction out of tinkering with things and making them better, which I do myself.

I've only seen Vaper Girl once or twice. All I remember is that she was wearing rather an awesome hat.

Yep. It's a wonder anybody bothers making or watching juice reviews. I might as well publish a YouTube channel reviewing breakfast cereals.

But I honestly can't imagine how I'd cope with the ever-changing world of rebuildables without the reviewers and their tutorials. This stuff doesn't come with instructions, after all, and if a device includes a pre-installed coil it's often pure crap. If not for instructional videos, simpletons like me would be totally lost.

It's always seemed a bit strange to me that people go bananas at the very idea that these guys might get a free gadget now and then. They're proving a useful service at no charge to the viewer, so why all the kvetching? I think the top names try to be honest, and I'm sure I've seen less-than-glowing reviews from all of them.
