Rip has the worst idioms and has a tendency to act like a fool. When he finally talks about the actual product after the 3,000 cuts he does, you can tell he knows what he's talking about. The bad part is you have to wade through all the B.S. to get to that point. I can understand why people tune out

Suck my Mod is alright, but he just doesn't seem very knowledgeable to me. Sure, he's used enough hardware to be able to give an opinion on something, but not much else besides that. He really doesn't have a personality. When he has that little back and forth with Vee, I tune out as it makes me feel embarrassed for him.

Twisted is someone I will watch sparingly. He rarely has any input I find informative to really change my opinion on a product. That is ultimately why you're watching these reviews right?

Todd seems genuine. I have no problem with his videos at all but he reviews way too many mech mods for me. I'm just rarely interested in them. He's not very eloquent when it comes to describing things. This is really his only draw back to me.

I getcha has the best reviews in terms of his presentation. Watching him review e liquids is pretty much a waste of your time unless you just want to see him blow rings.

I posted this in the "who's your favorite reviewer and why?" thread, but that thread seems to have died, so I figured I'd repeat myself here.

I like Busardo because of the relative lack of silliness; he gets the job done, and he's experienced enough that I take his opinion seriously, even if I end up disagreeing with it. Yes he's long-winded and sometimes I fast-forward till he gets back to the point, but a lot of his stuff is extremely valuable info -- but NEVER again will I attempt to top-fill a Kayfun, unless there's some juice I'm just dying to get rid of down the kitchen sink. I also don't much care for his "bunny ears" method of wicking a kayfun; it works a great deal better if you trim the wick to its proper size and "paste" it to the block's wall, than "guesstimate" the proper length with the bunny ears technique.

If I'm going to watch a video with silliness, I'd rather watch Robert Ellis than Tripper. Tripper is just plain stupid, and so in love with himself he makes my teeth hurt; Ellis is an old fart, to which I relate, and his white beard reminds me of my dad, who I wish had lived long enough to get into e-cigs and avoid lung cancer. He can be very silly too, but he gets back to the point fairly quick.

Also, Egomaniac Tripper claimed that Long Bottom Leaf pipe sauce tastes like lime, which is so wildly off the mark, that I have to wonder what he's on, or what's wrong with his tastebuds/nose, or did they give him the wrong stuff in his bottle! How the heck does coffee/smoky sweet tobacco and hints of chocolate and vanilla taste like lime? :blink:

To be honest, I have a horrible potty-mouth but just for some reason I just cannot bear to listen to Twisted spurting out expletives every 3 seconds. I just find it in real bad form for some reason and I don't know why since I cuss like a sailor... maybe I am just getting too old :laugh: "HEY you kids get off my lawn!"

Phil is long winded and I have to skip around his videos quite a bit as i am usually looking for an answer of some type

Rip is just crazy LOL I think he has stopped his meds

Funny,nobody seems to like these reviewers but they have gobs of subscribers.if looking for some basic reviews and a little mindless entertainment,tripp and 420 are good in front of cameras and like a lot of youtubers,are getting better the longer they are on.Just my opinion they are at least showing us more products.I always try to watch multiple sources before dropping big bucks.

My favorite reviewer is Scott Bonner from England (igetcha69 on youtube). IMO he has the most no BS, straight to the point review style out of any of them. PBusardo is a close second, but his videos are just too long most of the time.....I also like Big Tom & Damien (safer vapers)....they're funny.....

He's my number one I go to for two years now. IMO no one beats him. Quality videos, to the point, shows you high end products that I'm in the market for that other might not be. His market is for higher end devices. Not a Phil, Vaping Greek, or Grimm, or Indoor smokers guy. The guy is straight up real he even said in this video he doesn't make a penny out of his videos on manufacturing devices. I watch only him, Suck My Mod because Matts cool and I use to watch others but eh. Not for me. BTW I'm not going to go into it and debate it. Its what I like to watch and I'll continue.

Very beginig of the video. Pretty much backs him self up for his style and why he does what he does, and doens't make a dime off the devices reviews.

If you have 150.000 YouTube subscribers and don't make a penny, you are either lying or doing it wrong.

Here is my $.02 in it, I watch them all and then form my own opinion whether or not any of the produce or methods used will fit with my vaping needs.
I find myself fast forwarding past all the bla bla yack yack on all of them no matter who is doing the review or build to get to the meaning of the video in the first place.
If you don't like Rip's antics use the mute function, but one thing is for sure the knuckle head is a genius with coils and builds.

PBusardo is good if you want to get a highly technical opinion of a product.

lets face it all of the videos/reviews done by all of them are just that, their opinion.
I'm the kind of person that researches all available information and form my own opinion if a pituitary product or build would be suitable for my on vaping style and needs.

The guy that owns Craigslist doesn't advertise if he did they said it would be worth more than Facebook

Also he may not get money but he gets free products and a whole lot of them

I'll let you in on a little secret as to how Craigslist makes a truck ton of money without ever asking the consumer or end user for a single penny.

Job listings, at 25 dollars per little job to well over $500 (per listing) for giant corporate jobs they take in a whole lotta money per day. You just never see it because they don't charge regular users for anything. They make their money in the corporate space.

Oh yeah I never said they didn't make money but they could make more
