My Story – How I became an internet weed vape reviewer

My journey began in 1999 when my boss at my first real job discovered my obsession with bowling balls. He broke down the math on how much I was spending on bowling balls and encouraged monetizing my hobby to help offset the money I was spending. This was an incredibly important lesson for me, because I love spending money on my hobbies.

From a Hobby to a Full-Time Gig

After a few short years of reviewing dry herb vaporizers as a hobby, it started to pull 100% of my attention and focus.

I was no longer happy with my day job or my career and I was ready for a change.  

In 2017 I quit my full-time job to focus on 420vapezone.  My YouTube channel had accumulated a million views and 13,000 subscribers at that time. 

420Vapezone Deleted from Youtube

Shortly after quitting my job to be a full-time creator, Youtube deleted my channel.

I refused to back down. My content was having a positive impact and interest in vaporizers was growing.

I doubled down on my efforts and became even more committed to serving the dry herb vaporizer community. I focused on reviewing every single dry herb vaporizer I could get my hands on.

YouTube deleted me again in 2020, this time right before Christmas.

This time I didn’t handle it as well. I felt rejected by a platform that I loved and alienated by the same system that was supporting me.

2020 – 2023 were focused on community building and 420vapezone website development. My original visions for 420vapezone.com were backburnered to focus on youtube in the early years.

2024 and Beyond: Future of 420vapezone

My website will forever be in development, but I’ve reached a point where all of the relevant and reputable vaporizers have been reviewed.  My focus is still on website content and my goal is to cover every vaporizer out there and compare them to the best portables or best desktop vapes.

But I still love making videos. And I don’t plan to stop.

I’m still pursuing and creating content for the 3rd 420vapezone youtube channel; however, due to their restrictions I need to change it up a bit.

Hardcore cannabis content will be exclusive to 420vapezone.com – website videos will show nugs and clouds, youtube will be censored, filtered, and made more family friendly.
