How to become a reviewer!

[fryer2000]

So........ As I have previously mentioned here I have used and have only used my Rok legend as my vaping device.

But looking to try and find something different. I've seen plenty of YouTube vids where people are reviewing products and in turn get to keep the product. Whist the main reason for binning off the stinkies! Was the financial implications. Some of the devices I've seen and heard of can be fairly pricey.

Looking for any tips and advise to get the ball rolling on this.

Thanks in advance guys!

To be a reviewer you pretty much need to be a seasoned vaper and really know what your talking about in all aspects of vaping.

Great link to read http://www.planetofthevapes.co.uk/f...TTENTION-Reviewers-Vendors-Members-Pretenders

Many reviewers buy their gear. Some vendors will contact someone to review something and in some cases they may be able to keep it, asked to send it back, or give it away in a competition.

So read the link

I would imagine to start with you'll have to do some reviews with products you have bought and then maybe contact companies and show them your portfolio of reviews to persuade them to use you. To me your post is basically saying I want free products. If I was a company looking for reviewers I would want to see previous work and exposure gained from said reviews

Thats why we have a "Must not bug vendors begging for free shit" kind of thing here on the forum. It's annoying to say the least!

They are mainly well established reviewers, and as such companies will send out the odd freebie.
I have only had free juice sent a couple of times, everything else i have purchased.
I wouldn't look at reviewing as a way to get free gear, it will most likely never happen, and could be detrimental to yourself.

You could ask the mods and admins for reviewer status, but i would assume that you need to get to 25 posts before that happens, and even then, you will need to do some reviews.

These are my opinions, and not that of POTV, maybe admins or mods could answer your question more thoroughly?

EDIT: KMS answered before me lol!

Ok thanks for the advise. Reading it back I can see where your coming from billy. Sorry for any offence caused!

First and foremost, buy gear, review it and show the quality of your reviews. Build a following that is worth businesses taking note.

You can't just expect to get things free without putting the work in first IMHO

Yeah you need to buy stuff for review, review it, and keep doing that until someone notices your videos and may contact you, they also may not, but if reviewing is something you want to do get it started, but don't just see it as a way of gaining freebies as it can also cost quite a bit to keep going, The reason I do reviews is because I have a passion for vaping, , and I'm quite an opinionated git, who likes to ramble, alot.
