Phil,
I was a smoker for 27 years; 2 packs a day for around the last 10 of those years.
Over those years I have tried to quit smoking a few times but never was able to find
a way to quit for good. Because I have failed to quit so many times I never thought
it was possible. Never wanted to put myself through the pain or those around me
through my mood swings anymore. Kinda figured I would be hacking and weezing the
rest of my life.However, a couple of years ago I tried a e-cig from China and it really did not cut
it until one night I was running out of smokes and needed something to get through
the long night of work without having to go to the store. It did the trick and the
next day I went out to get the Blu starter which helped me to reduce my smoking a
little but did not really cut it. This is when I went to youtube and searched out a
review for a better e-cig product. I was disappointed as every review seemed to say
that product was the best and I felt like they were all made by the company of the
e-cig they were reviewing. That was until I found your review on the Blu e-cig. It
was the first review which seemed honest so I watched a few more of your videos. It
was then when I went to a new brick and mortar store in the area and they set me up
with a ego starter kit and explained everything on how to use it; very helpful.It was while using this starter kit when I really made a real attempt to quit and
reduced my smoking. I made a rule where I would not smoke in my basement office and
would have to go outside. To prevent me from going up the stairs I would watch your
videos and vape along with you. This helped me get through any urges to go smoke. I
also learned about so many great ways to enjoy vaping more with all the tank, juice,
and mod reviews; think I watched them all.To that point, around Christmas 2013 I had 2 smokes left in my last pack and smoked
one of them. I waited until January 03, 2014 to smoke the last one (yeah, I was to
cheap to throw it away as I was paying around $10 a pack). I have not had another
smoke since that day and really have not had an urge to either.I now breath better with no more annoying hacking cough or weezing when climbing
stairs. That came in handy with the amount of snow I had to shovel this year too. I
can even make it through a seminar without coughing and having to suck on a cough
drop the entire time. I feel like I owe you a debt of gratitude or at least a thank
you for vaping with me until all hours of the night to keep me from going up the
stairs to have a smoke. You might not know it but you and a few other reviewers out
there were the difference between me vaping or smoking and I am eternally grateful.
Thank you for what you do Phil, it is really appreciated!!Sincerely,
Troy
