NutroVape - Inhalable Energy Aid

Since I'm trying to be more health conscious and take in less calories and sugar, I'm trying to stop drinking as many energy drinks as I have in the past. The problem is that I'm also a narcoleptic so...every little bit of caffeine helps me get through my day. What I like about this is that there are no calories and no sugar, and since you inhale it your body will absorb it much more quickly. Couple this with the fact that there is no nicotine in it and consider me a happy dude.

While this is rated at 200 inhalations, I think that may be a bit exaggerated. The only way I see that happening is if you're taking little bird puffs. I'm not a smoker or a vape-er, but from what I've seen...people who do that will probably get less than 100 puffs out of one of these. However, knowing that I can keep this in my pocket and take a quick puff or two if I'm feeling drowsy is highly beneficial to me. I forgot to mention the taste of it in my video, but this has a subtle mint taste to it that is enough to be pleasant without being overwhelming.

Overall, I'm definitely pleased with this. It helps me wake up in the morning and helps to pick me up during my afternoon slump. If you're tired of spending an arm and a leg on coffee or energy drinks, try this out. It definitely helped me!

CuliChef Silicone & Stainless Steel Spatula

I'm coming from a regular plastic utensil so please excuse my excitement over this. For me, this was a huge upgrade compared to what I had. My metal spatula would always some how scrape the pan up and my plastic spatula would always seem to be more and more deformed each time I used it. I had enough of this nonsense and decided to be an adult and get something new. I came across silicone based utensils and I'm not going back!

Not only is this comfortable, it's very effective at what it does. I feel like it just sort of glides around when ever I'm using it in a pan. When I use it to make grilled cheese, the lip is small enough that I can easily get right underneath without accidentally pushing the sandwich around. Also, a huge plus for me is that I no longer need to worry about my cooking utensils either scraping up my pans or becoming deformed or melting from the heat. I'm sold.

Overall, I'm entirely pleased with this spatula. The biggest factors for me are the lack of melting and the lack of scraping that I used to have to deal with. Nonsense, I'm over that garbage.

GreenWeR - American flag and flag stand



I wanted to add a little patriotism to my front yard and immediately knew this was what I was looking for. The metal stand is, as the title suggests, very sturdy. I had no trouble putting it together and getting it prominently displayed for all to see. The flag itself is made of a reasonable quality and thankfully the stand clip is included or else I'd be concerned that the flag may eventually shred if exposed to high winds too long. Another smart idea that really stood out to me is the rubber stopped that goes on the curved end where you put your flag in. That does a great job of keeping the flag in place and doesn't let it fly away.

Overall, this is a great addition to my front yard decor. Again, the stand is sturdy, the flag looks very good, and the whole thing was so easy to set up. If you want something to show your pride without getting a full sized flag, I would definitely recommend this.

ErgoFit Office - Office Chair Caster Replacement Wheels

I currently have a similar product installed on my office chair, but I use mine quite a bit so I figured having a backup ready wouldn't be a bad idea. The first thing you'll notice when you get these out of the packaging is their weight. They're much heavy than I thought they would be so I'm really confident these will be lasting for quite a long time. They twist and turn with ease and don't seem to hang up. Compared to my old stock wheels, these roll over tiny pebbles or anything else you may find got brought along with your shoes.
Something else that really drew me in to these is how they don't mark up your floors. Where stock wheels are hard plastic, these have a bit more of a harder rubber (but soft enough that it still gives easily) feel to them. They are so much quieter than a stock set too. This is a must have upgrade for anyone who spends a lot of time in a computer chair. Overall, I'm entirely pleased with these. They're easy to install, they're quiet, and they don't mark up the floor. Boom, sold.

NutroVape - Inhalable Sleep Aid

I'm going to try to give you guys an objective assessment of this product keeping in mind that I disagree with the $9 price point and the 200 inhalations suggested by the manufacturer. I don't think you'll ever get 200 inhalations out of this unless you take a small bird

Being a non-smoker, non-vaper, it's nice to find a convenient method to quickly deliver melatonin to your system on those restless nights. Let's be honest, if you can't sleep at night the last thing you want is to wait 30-45 minutes for something to work through your digestive system. One inhalation of this and you'll be in your zone in no time at all.

I like that while this looks like an e-cigarette, it has no nicotine. The taste is a bit minty, not overwhelmingly so but it's definitely pleasant. I don't get any sort of dry mouth or any side effects with this. Simply some really good sleep. Overall, I'm pleased with this. I think they need to change the price point and maybe adjust their 200 number down a little, but beyond that I'm entirely pleased with this. I get sleepy really quickly and I get a solid night out of this too.

AILIHEN (Sound Intone I80?) Headphones with Microphone and Volume Control Noise Isolation Headsets


I want to apologize ahead of time, but my video cut out on me before I finished recording, but the majority of it is there and I honestly didn't feel like re-recording just go get the last 15 seconds in there.

Currently, these headphones are about $19 and they are definitely reasonable for the price. The cushioning around the ear piece and the head band is pretty nice as well. I appreciate that the ear pieces have a reasonable wiggle to them to help accommodate all types of head sizes. I'm a little confused on why they are advertised as AILIHEN and the set itself says Sound Intone. I'm assuming it's the same company, but it may be confusing to potential customers. The included cable is of a good quality and I like how it's braided for protection and not just rubber coated.

The sound quality itself leaves some room to be desired for sure. At higher volumes, some music can become rather distorted but it sounds perfectly fine (albeit a bit flat) at low to medium volumes. It definitely shines better in movies and audio books compared to music, but music is more than likely what most people would get these for.

Overall, they're not a bad set for under $20. I can't say they're my favorite pair but they definitely are very reasonable for the price range.

SmartStick 2 with Kids Zone

Man...I really wanted to give this a better review. 2.5 stars is what I actually think, but I Amazon won't let me put that so I rounded to 3 stars. I'm coming from a Roku 3 in my son's room and I picked this up for him because I saw it comes with YouTube Kids and my Roku doesn't have that. This was easy to set up and is Android based, so if you're familiar with the Android OS then this should be pretty straight forward for you. The remote is rather spartan in nature, but it provides adequate features for what it is used for.

The system itself is easy to navigate and since it has the Google Play Store, it allows you go get quite a large amount of applications to run on it. The controller can be used similarly to a Wii which I thought was a pretty neat feature. The reason why I have to give this device a sub-par rating is because of the software itself. As you'll see in my video, each time I load a video stream the size of the picture reduces to about 1/4 of the television screen. No matter what I do and no matter what app I load, it always does this. That is a huge problem to me on a device that is priced in the same range as a Roku 3 or an Apple TV. That's a big problem. I have to go to the menu and revert the image to the original size ever...single...time. Not cool. Along with that, the directional buttons are entirely useless in the YT Kids app. I have to use the Wii sort of setting and then I can actually make some things happen. Again, not ideal.

Overall...this product performs much more poorly than I had anticipated. I really had high hopes for this. Conceptually, it's great, it really is. Unfortunately, it doesn't follow through and seems to be too buggy for the $100 price tag. Should this have been priced under $50 then MAYBE I could have over looked a few issues, but I think this device was released far too early with not enough testing at the factory. Although I received this product in exchange for an honest review, all opinions expressed are my own and reflect my personal experience with this product.
