User spotlight: /u/chrisdvr1

submitted about 9 years ago by elephantrainbowsOne of "The Damned"

/u/chrisdvr1 has been blowing this shit up with his flavor notes. Complete with steep times, mouth feel, setup, I mean everything. Whether or not you agree with how he tastes his flavors this is what we need here. He's doing more to help the community grow than even some of the more recognized mixers who just post recipes every so often. This Chris guy has, I think, single handedly helped the new influx that /u/vurve brought in.

I just wanted to really highlight his notes, his help in assisting new mixers find flavors via search, and his tenacity. He's been a redditor under a year. I think Matt and vurve should try to get him on Monday new mixers podcast.

Big up Chris.

Click on his name, look at his post history, click on post threads. I figured if you want to diy then you could use that method. Can't really archive his posts.

I simply meant a master list, with links.

I'm working on getting his list compiled into my master flavor list that I'm collecting over at /r/CloudCollective. It's a slow process since more people don't donate their reviews, but it will eventually get there.

Be prepared for the hate train. Now that people recognize you, you'll start getting downvotes when you post.

Don't let it discourage you though. You'll always get more upvotes than downvotes. Just might take a little time to even out.

Honestly, you two are the main people I look out for on notes. I've been trying to keep up with some recipes.

Keep it up, mate. Your taste descriptions for a few notable flavours are similar to mine meaning I can trust and use your out-of-pocket experience.

Love the notes he's putting out, just think it could use a better formatting. It (to me) looks too messy and is hard on the eyes.

like this?

ya that's much nicer. I think specifying the type of clapton would be cool but not really that important. That's much easier to read

If you look at his early posts, I'm trying to coach him on that.

He has to use speech-to-text a lot of the time.

Huh, weird. I didn't get your notification when you tagged me.

See, you should be able to see this even though I replied to my own comment.

I do have gold though, so I should have been able to see it regardless.

I did not know that.

It looks like he forgot the capital 'V', which is probably why you didn't get the notification.

I thought that only happens if you have gold.

I believe they changed that with some update(s)

Here here. If some searches for a flavor, this is likely the type of info they're looking for.

Yeah I can't spell lol. If I didn't have auto correct on my phone my comments would be illegible.

I really appreciate all the hard work. Notes like this is what helped me a lot when I was first starting out. You've inspired me to post more notes. I've already gotten shisha mango, apple and raspberry. I plan on getting all that I can afford and posing notes on them.

Right on. Great content. Another good resource is e-liquid-recipes.com's flavor pages...that userbase adds quite a bit of notes on certain flavors, too. Plus you get the data mining capabilities that ELR has to tell you 'average mixing percentage' and stuff like that.

I'd be completely useless on generating this type of content because my palate isn't accurate enough, so keep up the good work!
