I can NOT watch Rip. I mean I respect him because I can tell he is smart and its not because he may or may not get paid its just his style is NOT for me. Way to hyper and stuff, his early stuff was fine. My girl friend LOVES to watch Rip videos so sometimes I watch them as well and I cant lie I have watched a ton of his coil videos just because there good but that doesnt mean I enjoy them.

Toddecigreviews and Phil are IMHO the BEST vape reviewers on youtube HANDS DOWN. They are both extremely informative, honest and Phil really gets into the technical aspects of stuff. I met Phil out in a shop on the US side of Niagara Falls. I was doing one of my juice runs getting stuff I cant in Canada and I was doing a build on an authentic Kayfun I bought there so I could use it on my drive home when I hear Phil start to speak lol. I turned around and he had come in and was vapeing a Provari with a Kayfun. This is going back two years. We talked for two and a half hours straight about everything vape related and other things as well. I chatted with him for about a half hour in the store and then told him I was hungry and invited him to come across the street and have a burger. He accepted my invitation and we eat and had a beer and continued talking. It was pretty cool.

I also really enjoy Ruby Roo. She does a lot of reviews on mech mods and drippers and more "advanced" stuff as well as tons of juice reviews. I find her extremely informative and humerus without being over the top. She gets a lot of stuff sent to her but she is honest IMO and it seems me and her have really similar vape styles what with not liking to much airflow and so forth so I really enjoy her RDA reviews and take those to heart maybe more so then Toddecigreviews TBH. Grimm also is the first one I ever watched and I still continue up to this day to watch him because he seems like a salt of the earth type dude who I could sit down, have a beer with and discuss life. I really like Grimms style probally the best of them all, hes just so laid back and chill and you can tell he really loves vapeing and the industry. Hes a veteran to thats for sure.

Vaping Shozza was great for reviews but he is totally gone from YouTube now for some reason.

Rip is too funny to be taken seriously and I can't stand Indoor Smoker at all. Robert Ellis is just way too painful to watch and Twisted420's videos seem to be made after a little too much 420 time...

PBusardo, Dimitri, Todd and Grimm are the only ones I watch these days.

From what I understand Vaping Shozza got in trouble at work because someone had seen his videos. It's a shame - he was doing the reviews of the custom mods and I hardly ever see those...

Rip is very manic, but I think I've gotten used to the way he edits - it doesn't really phase me anymore. Phil is my go to guy, and Todd is just so genial. He always seems to have a smile on his face and he's so soft spoken.

Honestly, I think I picked up my Provari because of IS. It's funny but it always seems like his reviews are off the cuff, just jotting down a few notes and rambling.

My take is if there's a review on something I'm wondering about, I'll watch it, no matter who it is...

That's actually a good compromise. Although, as I stated, I have my favourite, if I'm looking for info on a specific device or mod, I'll watch anyone's video, consider the source, evaluate what everyone says about it and then make my decision on whether or not to purchase it.

They're not opposite ends of the spectrums. For beginner stuff, see IndoorSmoker - but don't ask him about rebuildables. If you want the real down-low on non-rebuildable, see PBusardo. Rip (along with Ruby Roo, GG Britnee and Grimm) are good for your general tank/dripper vaper. If you want more informed rebuildable info, you want to check out the more niche people like TwistedMesses and the like.

I watch GG britnee, but not for her vaping info.

I like the Indoor Smokers dude.

I would not trust any of RIP Trippers product reviews though. I suspect his reviews are based on weather or not he gets free stuff (or even money) from the manufacturers. plus he is way to busy being a hot dog to give a review that I would take serious. He does build pretty good coils though.

If you are looking for good informative reviews, check out PBusardo reviews. That dude gives the best reviews (IMHO), and will not be swayed in any way from giving his honest opinion. Being an x-army guy, I respect integrity.

Just my 2-cents.
