From Carl

Hey Phil,

It’s been a while, so I wanted to send an update and thank you. We exchanged emails briefly a little over a year ago when I was (looking back now) still pretty new to vaping. It’s been a year filled with highs and lows, both of which back when I was a smoker would’ve had me reaching for a Marlboro. I’m happy to say I haven’t even been tempted since discovering my old VTR, that awful\leaky tank it came with, and your channel.

I’ve also been pretty involved in advocacy here in Chicago (cook, ugh), brining myself and as many vapers as I could to local hearings regarding vaping regulation and taxation. I’m not sure if it’s doing any good, but it’s worth fighting for either way. I’ve given away more mods\tanks\atomizers than I can count (I guess that’s one positive of these vendors releasing a new product twice a day), and switched a good amount of friends\coworkers\family from tobacco to vaping, even if it’s just part time (more than a few went from hookah to vaping cold turkey, which surprised me).

Long story short, NONE of this in the last year would’ve happened without your videos, knowledge, and encouragement. This “hobby” has grown into a movement of people taking their lives and health back, and a VERY large part of that is due to your work.

Thanks again for everything you do Phil. I really can’t understate how much you’ve helped me and many others. I’ll always be a friend (and a fan, I’m pretty sure you’re allowed to have fans now) of you and the community you’ve helped create.

Carl
