Yes because he's basically ripping off the (Brodie) character from (Mallrats) ...Think about it.

I like ripp trippers too for the same reason @martinelias does. People give the guy a lot of shit for things like not wanting vendors to send him test units. I'm glad he wants finished products, I'm not buying test units so why would I watch a review about one? There was also the whole dust up about him asking for equity in the companies he reviews for. That would only be a problem for me if his reviews were all glowing but they are not. Seems like more often than not, he is telling us to hold off or not to buy all together.

Edit to add... I think I found the worst vape reviewer of all times. JH Vapes. His reviews give little to no info on anything technical and when he takes a stab at it, he gets it wrong. I'm not sure if english is his second language or if he suffered a brain trauma at one point of his life. Here is a good example of one of his piss poor reviews.

Some stupid mod review started playing automatically on a site I was just at.

Three minutes and five seconds of...
1. Holding the shrink-wrapped mod
2. Unwrapping it
3. Unboxing it
4. Showing the other contents of the box and explaining how the mod fit inside
5. Twirling the mod around with a verbal acknowledgement of a 510 connector and power button.

There was another full minute just on the battery compartment, and that could have realistically been 10 seconds, 15 tops.

I watched 2 different videos for a tank yesterday. One was ten minutes, of which I was able to fast forward at least 6 minutes into. The 2nd video was a shocking... 2:30 TOTAL.

That sounds just like a video from the clown shoe JHvapes I referenced above.

I think there is one guy on youtube you knows how to make a short, concise vape review that tells you everything you need to know 5 min. His channel is YouBoom Cache and he is one of the very few that I can stand. Here, in my opinion is how it should be done...

IMHO, juice reviews are worthless from a consumer standpoint. The consumer cannot taste anything and since taste is subjective what good does it really do, even if you trust the reviewer.

But since there are a LOT of people out there that think juice reviews are not pointless, it is a good a marketing tool to create brand awareness.

Brand awareness aside,some juices almost require a review due to the rediculous names. How the hell am I supposed to guess what troll toes or beaver poop tastes like? What's the mix ratio? Did it arrive sealed or was half of the bottle soaked into the box?
Granted,most sites offer a description but I've run across a few that didn't and i just kept right on going rather than place an order.
Even in those instances though,a juice review should be no more than 2 minutes long.

Apparently the guy I called out is a member of the forum and had the balls to claim or beloved @CorallineAlgae was spreading rumors about the crown tanks coils. You can see from the thread below the guy isn't very bright and does not know much about vaping...

http://vapingunderground.com/threads/evic-vtc-mini-2-0-update-install.154110/#post-760750

I have to wonder, what is the standard these companies have that send out products to youtubers for review. It does not seem like there is much of a standard at all.

Anyways, I'll stop shitting on @Jh Vapes and move on to another shit bird.... How bout twisted420? 30 sec intro of horrible music and then him snorting up snot and acting like an idiot for the remaining portion of the always long and drawn out video.

I enjoy rip trippers videos... he gets in the equipment deep, talks about the ins and outs, everythinf you need to know... he's made a character for the videos, who's entertainment value ia subjective... at the end of the day people enjoy hating on other people who succeed.. i guess its human nature.

I'm going to type this out and then time it...

LOST'S JUICE REVIEW: FLAT n EASY

:00-:03 [opening graphics]
[Cut to juice bottle with me off camera. Because... reasons.]

:04 This is Lost, and for the first time, I'm going to review my own DIY juice. It's called Flat n Easy. Because there's no flavoring, and it's the easiest juice you'll ever make. 70/30, because any more PG and my lungs start hurting. Any more VG and it gets too thick.

This is mixed with 100-milligram nic that I got at [website dot com] in a 50-50 ratio. The finished product is 3 mil, so that tiny bit of extra PG in the nic barely registers a blip on the juice calculator. Less numbers to crunch.

[No pause for vaping and cloudz. Reasons.]
[CU: Mod and atty]
I'm dripping this in a double-coil atty... .25 ohm. No surprise, this still tastes a little sweet because of the VG. No throat hit. Quite smooth. It's important to note that when you first switch to unflavored, the absence of taste will freak you out. But you get used to it real quick. New cotton makes the juice taste a bit too clean, but that goes away after vaping about a mil.

[CU: Retail juice with brands blurred]
You've all probably figured out that a lot of retail juices are overflavored. Vaping Flat n Easy makes that abundantly clear. If I want to add flavor, I take my wife's retail stuff and add maybe an eyedropper full per 10 mil.

[MS: VG/PG/bottles and a 1-liter bottle]
Price... when I first started DIY'ing, I was at about 2 bucks for a 30 mil bottle. Now I'm way under 40 cents. For me, that's worked out to around 10 cents a day. I make a liter at a time. It lasts 3 months. I've noticed zero flavor difference or a decrease in nic strength when vaping the last of it.

[WS: Kitchen and limited amount of mixing stuff]
Mixing... Here's the trick. Before sanitizing everything, add up your nic amount and PG amount, in milliliters. For sake of argument, say it's 350 milliliters.

[CU: Shots of mixing]
Pour that amount of water in the bottle and mark that level on the outside of the glass with a Sharpie. Then the sanitizing. Pour your exact amount of nic into the bottle, using a small measuring vessel. Pour the PG from its retail container, directly into the bottle. To the Sharpie line. No funnel needed. Then fill up the bottle with VG. Shake the hell out of it. And then shake some more.

[Graphics]
If you have questions, or want to call me an idiot for vaping unflavored juice, find me on Vaping Underground.

--

That was 2:12, but it included mixing instructions. So... agreed. Two minutes, and you can easily do multiple juices from the same brand.

Sorry but the only reviewers worth a damn as reviewers are Todd Scott and Justine.The rest are all matters of taste.

Todd - https://www.youtube.com/user/toddecigreviews
Scott - https://www.youtube.com/user/igetcha69
Justine - https://www.youtube.com/user/justwaaaa

I watch Phil because he's smarter than the average reviewer and can be funny.
I watch Grimm because he's like the younger cooler brother I've never really had.
I watch Ruby because she's a sweet-heart.
I watch Tia because...well to be honest (BOOBS)

He is obnoxius and a dumbass for sure but to his credit, he knows how to make a video review work. And it was his kanger RBA video that taught me how to build a coil. Despite all that, I couldn't watch an entire video of his without fast forwarding
he's an idiot...everything he reviews he loves he's as impressionable as a crow....he always falls in love with the newest shinnest bauble.but to his credit he does know how to build....I would just never trust his reviews.

You're absolutely right, I never thought of that. But like you said, they should have descriptions on their site as to what flavors you can expect to taste. I hate when they don't tell you that. I also hate when they don't tell you the exact PG/VG ratios. A lot of juice companies don't and that's just wrong.

I've seen plenty of his reviews where he flat out tells people not to buy a certain product or points out flaws. Even products that come directly from the manufacture.
