I wanted to thank you for all your videos and your website. I am a 62 year
old labor lawyer (union side only) and a lifelong pipe and cigar smoker. I was
concerned about my wife’s cigarette smoking and we made a deal….she tries vaping
and I will join her. We have both stopped our smoking and are both in love with
vaping. Your work has made our journey that much easier. I like your no nonsense
videos that get to the heart of the product quickly. Thanks again.

It is my 2 year anniversary of vaping Phil. Thanks for all the videos that
helped me choose wisely when it came to my devices. I was at VCCPA this year, and
due to being somewhat sick, I missed out on the night at Tonic. Which sucks because
I am a Grand Marnier veteran of 30 plus years 🙂
Human respiratory tissue test reveals e-cigarette vapour produced similar result as air
The results show that cigarette smoke reduces cell viability to 12% (near complete cell death) after six hours. In contrast, neither of the e-cigarette aerosols showed any significant decrease in cell viability. Despite 6 hours of continuous exposure, the results were similar to those of control cells exposed to only air. Even with this aggressive exposure, the e-cigarette vapours did not reduce cell viability.

Just wanted to say it was a pleasure to meet and have a vape with you at the Mid-West Vape Expo on Saturday! Also want to say thank you for all you do for this life-saving industry… from advocay to the honest, in-depth (read ‘LOOOOOOONNNNNGGGGG’! 🙂 ) reviews. Keep doing what you do! Much love and respect to you, your family, and everyone whose lives you have affected in such a positive way!
I started using e-cigarettes/vaping almost by accident. I was going to drive my step-son from Kentucky to California for his first job out of college, and out of consideration for his non-smoking and allergies I wanted to find something so I wouldn’t have to smoke in the car. I had recently noticed an e-cigarette store just around the corner from my house, so I walked over the morning we were to leave. I was hoping they would have a variety of disposable types to choose from, but they only had the eGo style. I had been considering trying e-cigarettes for some time, but hadn’t been able to justify the initial expense if I didn’t like it. This time, the consideration of my son outweighed the expense and I bought a kit. I took 2 packs of my normal cigarettes with me on the trip to smoke when possible and/or just-in-case. After the first day or so, I found myself wanting the real cigarettes less and less, and vaping was so much more convenient! I was a 1 pack/day smoker for the past 20 years, but those 2 packs lasted me 5 days! I had 2 more cigarettes the day I got back home from California, and have not had one since (my last cigarette was on 06/17/2013). Since then, my wife and her son have stopped smoking in favor of e-cigarettes, I have convinced 2-3 co-workers to switch, and my Mom was ecstatic when I told her! I did have some temptations to start smoking again as I was not getting a good ‘throat hit’ due to old/burnt atomizers, but as soon as I cleaned them and figured out the resistance/voltage variables, all is good! I find vaping to be a healthy and beneficial alternative to the negative health affects of smoking. Once you figure out what kind of set-up works for your personal preferences, it’s easy! I find it to almost be a hobby… trying out all of the different equipment and e-juice flavors. And MUCH cheaper than cigarettes! I was on a business trip to Chicago last week, and the ability to be able to use my e-cigarette in the hotel room and not have to walk all they way out to the lobby to smoke was fantastic! The fact that there is no second-hand smoke, little to no smell left hanging around, and no dirty looks from non-smokers definitely makes me not feel like an outcast. And the possibility of weaning myself off of nicotine completely is a plus (I started out using 24mg nicotine, and as of 03/04/2015 I am down to 12mg), although if I do that, I would probably keep vaping just for the pleasure of it. It is very rewarding to me to pass on my success story, and to help others learn the benefits of vaping. And best of all, now I KNOW I will be around to watch my grand-children grow up!
Thank you!
Dave

Good evening Phil! I just watched your 8/8 video (and other recent videos
regarding FDA foolishness) and have been subscribed to both you and Dimiti’s you
tube channels since I started vaping (just hit two years without a cig this month)
and I just wanted to thank you….and the pink panther. Your channel was the first
one I found when I became interested in stopping smoking and I feel like those
videos were instrumental in quitting. I also want to thank you for your page for
beginners, it was a life saver starting out. I have enjoyed all the benifits of
becoming cigarette free and was sad to hear about the new regulations. As a police
officer I understand the importance of laws and/or regulations to protect us.
However, I do feel that these regulations are the farthest from “helpful” or
“needed” as possible. It’s frustrating to think that someone else could benefit the
same way I have, but not get the chance. I talked a coworker into stopping and
vaping a week after I did and we have both been successful at stopping. I heard you
talking about catching flack during all this and got a bit upset. I’m sure you get a
lot of positive feedback for what you do but I wanted to add to it. I’ve got two
small children that just may get a bit longer with Dad and for that I thank you.
I’ve seen what look like police patches on a picture on your wall. I’d be willing to
send you one of mine if you’d like. A small token of appreciation if you will. My
email address is xxx. If you have a p.o. box I’d be happy to send you
a couple of uniform patches……they’ve been washed of course. And by the way, most
times I see the color pink I instantly think Dimitri Pink. I thank you for that also
🙂
