RIP TRIPPER is a bit of an enigma in the vaping community. He is extremely popular and commands the largest Youtube following - yet talks to no one. Rumors started saying he didn't even vape and this was all show. A new set of more serious allegations have been broken wide open by Twisted420 and picked up by V4P3R.
Is Rip Tripper demanding payment to do his reviews?
If you know me - you know I'm for making as much money as you possibly can in this industry. It's the American way and I'm all for it. What I am against is lying about it. If you take money from vendors for reviews or endorsements but say you don't - that's being dishonest. That is the charge being leveled by Twisted420.
Twisted420 a reviewer and host on Vaping Underground Live blew up the Rip Tripper story on Reddit with screenshots and promises to come out with a new video with more explosive information.
V4P3R an up and coming blogger picked up the story and added a other screenshots and information on the topic.
Most websites and reviewers that make money should have something called a sponsor disclosure. This is a transparency statement that lays everything on the table for your followers. In some cases its an actual FTC requirement. Especially if you endorse a product and get paid - its required by law.

IF THIS IS TRUE:
Even if the news is terrible - honesty is the best policy with our community. They forgive those that come clean and in time you can gain their trust back. If you lie and hide - it will only hurt you. Vapers love to dig and find the truth - I know that first hand.
