From Keith

Hi, Phil,

The reason I’m e-mailing you is to thank you for your efforts in putting together vaping-related videos.

I started smoking when I was 13. I’m now 50, so that makes 37 years of sucking all kinds of toxins into my system. For a lot of those 37 years, I was a 2+ pack a day man. I never thought that I’d be able to kick the habit. I’d tried the patches, cutting down, cold turkey, and so on. I never did try the pills (Chantix, Bupropion, nicotine lozenges, etc.) because I did not trust going that route.

A few years back, one of my friends suggested that I try picking up Walmart’s version of the Cigalike. Needless to say, I was back on the cigarettes within a couple of hours.

A few months later, I picked up an Ego C-Twist. This also did not cut it, and I was back to smoking by the very next day.

Fast forward to a couple of months ago. I was tired of wheezing and coughing, and being out of breath from all the smoking, so I picked up the Ego again. I tried hard to stick with it, but found myself going back and forth between it and the Ego. Desperation drove me to YouTube to do some research and I found people were using something called ‘mods’ and blowing clouds of vapor. That looked more like it. That looked like it might work!

So… I paid a visit to my local Cheap Tobacco store to see what they had in stock. I was impressed by how lackadaisical the staff of said Cheap Tobacco store were, and by their serious lack of knowledge and willingness to actually help customers, but like I said, I was desperate, so I purchased a Kamry 20 with an Aspire Atlantis tank (which sucks with both .5 and 1 ohm coils, by the way) and it helped a little, but still just didn’t cut it. Oh, well, I asked myself, what was I expecting from “cheap Chinese crap?”

At that point, I was ready to throw in the towel and just go back to smoking and deal with the health issues I was facing – yes, I know that I’m weak willed. Then I discovered your videos.

I watched a few of your videos, and finally came across your review of the JoyeTech eVic-VT, and was intrigued. This looked like just the ticket. Of course, I wasn’t going to just take your word for it. I searched and found a bunch of reviews on this device, and for the most part, they all said what you said – Rip Trippers is a hoot, by the way.

So I went back to your channel and found your China series, and this showed me that not all “cheap Chinese crap” is created equal, and based mainly on your videos, I picked ordered an Evic-VT from http://vaporauthority.com/. It arrived on July 21st, 2015, and I’ve not had a cigarette since then. It’s now September 3rd, and I’m more than happy to have replaced smoking with vaping.

Also, based on your August 27th review of the Goliath V2 by UD Youde, I ordered that on August 31st from VapeNW. It’s due in tomorrow.

Long story short, Phil, I owe you debt of gratitude. It is plain to see that you put a huge amount of time and effort into your videos in order to educate people about vaping, and your efforts have most definitely paid dividends for me, quite literally, changing my life for the better. Thank you for this!
