Tired of “Real E Cig Reviews”?


Don't They Seem Desperate When They Say They Have “Real E Cig Reviews”?


So I’m fairly new to the world of electronic cigarette smoking, or e vaping, but it doesn’t take an expert to realize that most of the e cig review sites out there are not really objective as they claim. For various types of products, there are typically tons of real reviews out there by people who have actually tried them. These are honest reviews that actually help people decide what brands to pick. However, this isn’t usually the case with e cigs, as there are tons of review sites that only seem to have some of the top brands.

What's Wrong With E Cigarette Review Sites?


So, is it bad that they only have the top brands on these review sites? Well, yeah, I think so! I could be wrong, as it’s logical that most of these sites are going to want to review the e cigs that are most commonly found on the internet and at your local gas station or grocery store. However, when hundreds of these review sites each review the same brands, then it becomes a little suspicious. It’s like beating a dead horse, isn’t it? Why put up a review that another more popular review site already put up? Also, notice how these sites have links to the top brands, which of course drives traffic to these company websites.

What about the little brands? There are a bunch of unknown electronic cigarette brands that never get mentioned on these review sites. Why not bring a little variety to your site every once in a while to let users know that there are other options. Isn’t that what reviews are for? I would like to read a review that doesn’t actually try to sell me something. I want to read both the good and the bad about each brand, and I want to discover new brands that I’ve never read before. Another thing that you notice is how these review sites never really compare e cigs to one another. They can say something, like “Hey, E-Cig A is really good, but E Cig B does it better.”

Electronic Cigarette Forums:


So… what do we do? In my opinion, the best reviews to look at are those that can be found inside forums, such as http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ A lot of these forums are moderated by actual users and are strict about companies that try to spam the hell out of them. For now, I think we have to rely on these little forums!
