Hi Phil,

First thing I want to say is your videos are great and you have been an inspiration for me.

My story (not really a story) begins when I was around 14, when I first started smoking, what I now call stinkies. For the last 8 years I was smoking around 2 packs a day. I am now 35 and today marks 1 month since smoking. My biggest issues with smoking were of course the health issues, the cost, and finally the smell.

For as long as I can remember I have something similar to heart murmurs. They only happened with smoking and it was not bad enough for me to really care to much about. Back in October 2013 I had a TIA (ministroke) that scared me pretty bad. One of the recommendations were stop drinking sodas. This was mainly due to the last 6 years I have worked from home and always had access to them. One of them was to stop smoking. This was a problem for me (of course lol). Even while in the hospital after my heart cath, I would still go outside and smoke. Once I was well, I continued to smoke. Once I stopped smoking, those murmurs have since stopped. Have not really got the other good things that come from stop smoking yet, but already can feel a difference and now my daughter and my wife seems to actually want to be around me lol.

What got me away from smokes in the beginning were one of my friends on XBOX told me he was going to send me a some disposables. I took it with a grain of salt. The day they came in the mail, I went to do my normal convenient store stop of getting my 2 packs of smokes. I brought them home, started work and smoked as normal for a few hours. I then looked over and grabbed the Fins my friend had sent. I thought, hmm I’ll give this a shot. From there I tried some other brands like NJOY, H20 and finally BLU. I then went to a ego style battery, then a VV ego battery. I then started watching your videos after doing some searches on YouTube, that is where it really changed.

After watching you, and a few others, I kept coming back to you and your site for more information. I looked into tanks and then became even more confused, then came mods, I was lost. I started more research and ended up back to you. My knowledge is now where it should be and if I go another direction with a different type of device, I know can come to you, your site. I am now using The Spire VV/VW mod and am waiting on my Aspire Nautilus and The Russian tanks to come in. Your reviews, the technical aspects, the professionalism (for the most part haha), the funny moments (which I love), everything, those things kept me coming back. I have still continued to watch every new video you put out. Even if I don’t plan to use what you are talking about, I still like to learn and get more information and you provide a great wealth of information.

Not much more to my story of quitting the stinkies, but you have been a MAJOR part of it and I appreciate more than you can know.

Thank you very,

Shane
