Arcane Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 well...i have a different opinion on video reviews...i don't mind watching long videos, however i hate when people let their preferences affect their rating or opinions. don't rate a product low if "you" can't get it to smoke right, it doesn't taste the way you prefer (candy vs. natural), or any other thing you "prefer".i was actually thinking about doing video reviews too, mostly just to counter act boredom. i've kinda decided on my agenda.1. Brand and Flavor: 1-2 secs2. Cut: 3-5 secs3. Smell: 3-5 secs4. Video of Packing: 1 min::cut to light coals and get it smoking::5. A couple of pulls: 3-5 secs5. Flavor Description and Accuracy: 1-2 min6. Rating/Recommendation: 3-5 secs.Overall, no video should last over 3 minutes...maybe 4, if a flavor is complex and it takes a while to describe the flavor.

momatik Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I hate it when people talk about the cut and smell for too long. They'll show you the damn tobacco and everything."As you can see, this stuff is REALLY wet." Wow, really? Hmm, that will definitely factor in my decision to smoke it.Personally, all I care about is a description of the flavor, the strength of the flavor, and cloudage. You could write all the other stuff in the description if it is really that important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, Nakhla Cinnamon smells terrible, and I don't like the cut and tackiness of Nakhla, but it is sooo delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Haha, yeah it seems like everyone that posts a review on youtube thinks they are the hookahking or something. They're like "Well ya see here, this thingamabob does this and it'll make the smoke like this."I watch some reviews once in a while but if I really want to find out about a tobacco I will just come here to look it up. Usually a good source of info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delSol_si Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Wow, I couldn't agree with you all more. I also hate those vids where the person just sits there and keeps taking hits like they are breathing, not even letting all the smoke out before taking another. And ya, when they just say "ya, taste good, smokes good" that tells me nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Its like watching Fox News! I think written reviews are sufficient. I'm not sure what makes people want to turn a camera on and make me wait ten minutes to download this review. Shorter and more to the point, if nothing else.

mix_tape Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I tried the video reviews but I was that 99% boring or so I thought. I deleted them all perhaps one day when I can be more entertaining I'll try again. I dislike the video where they try to be funny but aren't very informative. I've always enjoyed HJ videos.

kdkhookah Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I can't stand the unnecessarily long videos. But what bugs me more than watching the person sit there and mumble is having to watch like a two minute intro video featuring pictures of their smokes along with music. I'd be okay with it if the intro were like 10 - 15 sec., or shorter, but just get to the review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redjako Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Never watched a review because noone edits their stuff..its stupid, 9 minutes of a slip shod moving camera etc. I've been trying to pare down my own video's more so they focus on the packing, then coal management, then clouds Though most people I'm sure crap out after the packing and a bit of smoke (even my long session video's I realize attention spans will switch off at 3 min).
