From Dirk
Dear Phil,
I hope you do not receive tons of bothering mails and please excuse my unperfect English.
Just felt like thanking you. I`m thankful for you entertaining me and sharing a part of your life, being quite a funny guy and teaching a lot about my newest “hobby”.My personal story will be as many others, I’ve been a smoker since I was about 16 years old – being 46 years old meanwhile this is far too long, when thinking back. Been trying to get off from this addiction for several times, but the longest period was for nearly two years back in the nineties. I always liked smoking, not for taste, maybe even not fort he drug nicotine itself. Rather for having a good time while handling a cigarette. I think, the addiction is more of “donating” yourself with something – must not be a cigarette…
Last year around March I had a really bad time and tried to get off smoking once more, but that time I read an article about “vaping” and decided to just give it a try, ordered immediately a “Kangertech Evod Mega” on amazon, which seemed to be nice and handy, having no idea about anything besides the basic functionality of vaping gear.
The day it arrived was my last day of smoking. Period. Found my way out off the “stinkies”.
After some days I started to discover the world of vaping 🙂 Read everything I could find, watched my first YouTube videos – as I guess as nearly every German speaking person I started with Phil good and his “liquidhimmel”. I was kind of surprised to see a guy approximately my age, having years of his vape-story shared on YouTube. Helped me alot getting into it.
Shook my head on the uncountable amount of “reviewers” on YouTube, partly annoying, partly just to laugh about.
I remained with a handful of them I really like – vapingwithvic, vapingbiker, thevapingbogan and of course the funny guy from far away in America called Phil 🙂 Oh and I like DJLSB for his technical stuff, although I thinks it’s quite hard to listen to him for a longer time…
I was deeply impressed, how big the community is, how extremely fast growing the industry around this marked is, especially in China – so I really loved your “trip-videos” a lot. Are you planning further trips by the way ?
So, this got far too long as I was afraid before – but I didn’t just want to say “thank you”. Although I think this is the only important content. Just go on with your good work, have a good time, don’t let yourself be taken down by that asshole of a disease and best regards from Germany,
Dirk

NEW FROM REGULATOR WATCH – Fully Baked | Hunter Vaping Legislation Ready to Replace Deeming Regs
Here’s the latest from Brent Stafford at Regulator Watch:
Days could be numbered for the notorious FDA deeming regulations as efforts to repeal and replace gain new momentum. Next week the U.S. Congress is back in session and if all goes according to plan, Rep. Duncan Hunter will introduce comprehensive legislation which would take vapor products out of the tobacco products category and completely shutdown the industry killing PMTA process.
Is the Hunter legislation for real? Hear from the congressman yourself— only on RegWatch by RegulatorWatch.com.

FROM CASAA – Lawmakers are home this week…
…and we need your help to get their support for Cole-Bishop!
Can you take a moment today to call your representative and senators and urge them to support the Cole-Bishop amendment in the 2017 US Budget? They can show their support by co-sponsoring HR 1136.
Congress is home for the Easter break, so we are providing district contact information below.
Please Call:
Sen. Charles Schumer (D) – (212) 486-4430
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D) – (212) 688-6262
Rep. Louise Slaughter (D) – (212) 688-6262
Things to discuss on you call:
- Urge them to support the Cole-Bishop amendment to the 2017 US Budget and co-sponsor HR 1136, which will protect access to life-saving vapor products for millions of current and former smokers. The current roll-out of the FDA regulations will remove nearly all vapor products from the market in less than two years.
- Emphasize that modernizing the predicate date to August 8th, 2016 will not take away the FDA’s ability to regulate vapor products.This necessary change simply means that vapor products are not unfairly regulated more harshly than cigarettes.
- Briefly, share your personal story about switching to vapor products. Make sure to include any improvements in health you have experienced or, perhaps, that your doctor has observed. If the variety of flavors are important to you, be sure to mention that too.
- Protect our right to choose a safer alternative to smoking and live a healthier life by keeping the Cole-Bishop amendment in the 2017 US budget.
- Ask if your representative is available for a meeting to discuss this issue further.
When you’ve finished your call, please follow up with an email.
Take Action – Send a Message
Please let us know how the call went. You can send an email to takeaction@casaa.org
Thank you,
CASAA Legislative Team
BRANDON FROM EVOLV STOPS BY TO INTRODUCE THE DNA-75C!
A PBusardo Video – Brandon From Evolv Introduces the DNA-75C
Brandon from Evolv stops by to have a chat and introduce the new DNA-75C. Although the “C” stands for color, it’s much more than that. It’s a more usable DNA product (we can finally forget key sequences) and if you’re into customizing your vape, get ready to do so in ways we’ve never before seen.
He also gives a brief tour of the changes to Escribe and the new Theme Designer.
Brandon is very soft spoken so I do apologize in advance for the volume swings. I did what I could to boost him during editing.
I hope you enjoy it & Happy Easter!
