Are you thinking of becoming an e-liquid reviewer, or do you already review e-juices?
Strangely enough, while hundreds if not thousands of people are reviewing e-liquids on YouTube, Reddit, forums, blogs magazines and elsewhere, I've struggled to find one post giving advice on how to do it.
So I asked 10 e-liquid reviewers to provide tips for new reviewers. I've also added a couple.....
Are you new to vaping? Or haven't started yet?
Then you're bound to have some questions.
So we've asked experienced vapers what their top questions were when they started vaping.
We've also drawn upon the advice of our experienced customer service team (some of who have been answering e-cig questions every day since 2011!).

If you know anything about e-cigarettes, you probably find it absolutely astounding how much rubbish is written about them by people who DON'T know anything about them.
A typical example is a recent Metro article by Rob Waugh, who screamed aloud:
Passive smoking warning as e-cigarettes are found to harm bystanders
Read the article, though, and there's nothing of the sort - all it said.....
We do not offer these flavours anymore, but you can check out our variety of Halo e liquid flavours.
After the success of our barbeque e-liquid at last year's Vapefest (one vaper told us it was the first time he had tasted anything since a stroke!) we are now launching a delicious new range of e-liquid called:
Voop Juice

Last month we surveyed over 1000 readers to find what the consensus is on how vapers should behave (see The Ten Rules of Vaping Etiquette for the original post).
There are three reasons we did this:
Vaping Etiquette is contentious, often triggering disagreement online (especially on Reddit!)
Non-vapers feel happy to produce infographics telling us how we should behave -.....
Update: Feb 2021
Not so long ago a reader told me she was still completely confused about voltage, watts and ohms, and I have a feeling she’s not the only one. In fact, while we were writing this post, we had at least five emails from readers asking for an explanation!
So we’ve put together this tutorial for our Vape Academy......
How a Reddit rumour became a National News story, how likely is malware in your e-cig, and how to stop it from ever happening
Imagine this.
Your new e-cig comes in. You immediately plug the battery into your laptop to start charging it.

About Kate
Kate was one of the first UK vapers and is probably the most activist e-cigarette user in the UK, plaguing those opposed to the e-cigarette on an almost daily basis and running the awesome Vapers Network, as well as an active Vaper's group on Facebook. Luckily for us, she managed to escape her convent long enough for a quick interview at.....
In this interview we speak to Freedom to Choose representative David Atherton, discussing why they were set up, the anti-smoking lobby's effects on civil liberties in the UK and of course the electronic cigarette.
Why Freedom to Choose began
David, why was Freedom to Choose set up?
It was set up by Feal-Martinez in 2005 who was a Swindon publican, and he is still.....

Recent data has shown clear evidence that e-cigarettes have led to schizophrenia among several UK newspapers.
In this case study, we'll look at one particularly severe case, although many media outlets have suffered similar symptoms after being exposed to unreliable second hand vapour reports.
Scientists Say E-Cigarettes Are Bad For You
We'll start off with one example, when our patient claims to.....
