E-liquid reviewers

[nathaniellejones]

Hello there. I'm a vendor and it's been hard to get a good video review recently since most of the bigger reviewers have moved to hardware only

I'm sure that e-liquid reviews still exist, but I haven't seen a decent one in ages (although I am totally out of the loop)



Does anyone have a favourite eliquid reviewer from the UK or in Europe? Is there anyone who's really decent/fair/prolific with eliquid reviews in video format that I should contact? We have a few new eliquids ready to go that (I think) are pretty great, but it'd be nice to get a few more opinions and testimonies about them.



Do you have a favourite? If you can think of anyone who can do a decent video review, I am all ears. It'd be good to have a way to share these new creations. Thank you in advance!
(and apologies if this is the wrong forum)

Hello Nathan . . . . personally I'm not a fan of these self styled reviewer guru's who bang on because they like the sound of their own voice, going into raptures over an eliquid that I can't actually taste, that's me and I appreciate that not everyone might share my views!

What would tempt me far more into buying an eliquid is if a selection of regular forum members were to give their opinion and experience of it, not necessarily in video format, there are some of us who still enjoy communicating using the written word and appreciate reading a well composed piece, using our wonderful english language.

This doubtless confirms my dinosaur status!

What Mandy said.
You will get a much more balanced/fair opinion by sending out some samples to a few folks on here.

hehe - you and me both!

To the OP - this is a written forum (perhaps supported by pics and videos), not youtube. Written reviews seem a logical format for this media. Least ways, that's my thoughts.

  I totally agree with the previous posters.

 We know each other pretty well on this forum...& that includes taste in liquids, strength, mod etc...so a recommendation for someone would be based on our knowledge of our members.

Personally I've never watched a vid of anything to do with vaping as I can read & see pics well enough & that's how I learn. I trust & share similar tastes & vaping habits with the forum members so will always go with written reviews on here & other forums.

I guess that makes me a member of the dinosaur fraternity too, pleased to see you 😉😘

Hey nathaniellejones

There's a reason why flavour reviews are hard to come by, it's because flavour choice is so subjective and people have come to realise just because someone raves about a flavour does not mean that you will like it. Someone could go on all day about how delicious a Tobacco or Parma Violets flavoured juice is to me and I'd never be interested because i'd hate those! Most people go along to Vape Shops and have a try to see what they think of flavours.

Same as above really but i do occasionally read the odd review here

As has been said try looking on youtube and sending them some, else send them to members here and ask for feedback. Flavours are very subjective as my all day is a certain grants clone custard after finding his recipe, other people i have given to have said its creamier or more vanilla. everyones taste buds are different (hell my wife thinks all my eliquid smells the same like baby sick lol) juice reviews no thanks i'll stick to buying a bottle, and if i dont like i dont buy again as its no great loss. however i do get new companies and old need reviews to get people like me to try. good luck in finding someone maybe a reviewer of hardware who will try your juice with a new atty as that seems to be the way they work these days.

Phil Busardo still does some liquid reviews mate here's a recent one he has a decent sized account and is a trusted long term YouTube channel.



That said looking through YouTube there are plenty of people doing liquid reviews still but the views are pretty dismal these days.
While YouTube hasn't full on banned vaping product videos yet they have banned posting links to products in video descriptions and they don't put vape videos in people's recommended feeds.

nathaniellejones does make some amazing eliquid btw

Perpetua "there are some of us who still enjoy communicating using the written word and appreciate reading a well composed piece, using our wonderful english language."

You and me both. A good chunk of the enjoyment I get from releasing a new product is writing the description and explaining where it came from. In my mind it beats the "medley of X, drizzled with Y, with a hint of Z" descriptions. I like a good story.

And being a dinosaur is alright - I feel like one every time my daughter rolls her eyes at me for not knowing what Tik-Tok is or that Old Town Road song, but dinosaurs are very wise and know quite a lot

unclegromit "You will get a much more balanced/fair opinion by sending out some samples to a few folks on here."

That's a good idea. How do you feel about doing a review?

DaveJ "Written reviews seem a logical format for this media"

You're not wrong. I was thinking of wider, more shareable content, but for this forum, you're right on the money.

gill2009 "We know each other pretty well on this forum...& that includes taste in liquids, strength, mod etc...so a recommendation for someone would be based on our knowledge of our members"

I understand. Word of mouth goes a long way, especially among a tight knit community like this

TJ "I trust & share similar tastes & vaping habits with the forum members so will always go with written reviews on here & other forums.

I hear you. Written reviews look like the way to go. Also, from one dinosaur to another, hello

DiscoDes "flavour choice is so subjective and people have come to realise just because someone raves about a flavour does not mean that you will like it"

Definitely, you're right about that. I have trouble with a lot of juice other people hype and ask me to try because I can taste that it has some over the top amount of sucralose in it, or brain freeze levels of cooling, and no matter how good the flavour may be, I feel like I need to scrape it off my tongue. Some people love that, but it does a number on me. Horses for courses.

B Road Blaster " i do occasionally read the odd review here: peegorevapes.wordpress.com"

Thanks for the tip. I'll send them a message, see how it goes

colli "i do get new companies and old need reviews to get people like me to try"

Yeah, this is it. No-one will buy your amazing new juice if they don't know it exists. It's a fine line between saying "Hey, this is pretty good, you might like it" and bothering people by bombarding them with info they don't want. I err on the former

Get Off My Cloud "Phil Busardo still does some liquid reviews mate "

P Busardo has been around ever since I really got into vaping. I watched his 45 minute long videos of the KF 5 and every new piece of kit I was interested, he a bit of a legend and he really goes to town with his reviews. When he got the pressure sensor out for the button press I knew he was taking it seriously down to the last detail. If P Busardo ever reviews my juice, I'll put a badge on the website saying as much!

ticktockman "nathaniellejones does make some amazing eliquid btw"

Thank you so much! I'm really pleased that you enjoyed them as much as I do  Do you have a favourite?

[nathaniellejones]

Thank you for letting me know what you think, it's really helpful to know. Written reviews across AAEC are the way forward.

So... Does anyone fancy writing a review? PM me if you do and we'll sort it out. Looking forward to hearing from you

Thank you for listening to the responses you received. So many Vendors nowdays do not seem to do that.

Good luck in your ventures.

I'll echo Dave . . . . thank you Nathan for taking all of our constructive observations on board and acting on them!

It's up to us now, come on lovely people  - I'm certain there's a good many of you who can write a very readable review for nathaniellejones and his new eliquid flavours.
