Mr. Busardo-
Just wanted to write a few words to say how much I enjoyed today’s review video, it
really hit home with me. My wife and I are hitting 3 years smoke free this month,
after 35+ years of smoking for me, and 40 for her While we are probably not your
typical vapors, she still likes to use Kangor T3s on an ego style stick, and I’ve
been using a Kayfun lite v2 for the past couple of years. I rarely drip anymore, and
never did away from the house. Your video today really hit home with the mouth to
lung vs lung hitters. I believe another thing that would help advocacy is for people
to be more aware of their surroundings. Big clouds are a turnoff for people who
don’t know and don’t understand the benefits over smoking. I turned around and left
a vape shop recently when I opened the door and couldn’t even see the counter.
Probably not converting too many smokers there I would guess. I have seen a
promising trend recently with you reviewers getting back to some of the starter type
mods and kits to get more people off the cigs. A welcome change from a seemingly
endless period of sub tanks and 200 watt mods. Sorry for the long rant, keep up the
great work.Thx, Russ
From Nick
Hi, I just wanted to thank you for your review of the endura kit. I have
been vaping for close to a year now, and had been trying to find a set up for my
dad, who had been a heavy smoker for over 30 years. He didn’t want to try any
devices I showed him because of how complicated they seemed. After watching your
review on the endura I decided to buy it for him as an xmas gift. It has worked
amazingly well for him. He hasn’t had a cigarette since January 15th, and he has no
interest in going back. Thanks again-Nick

WHO WE ARE – NICELY DONE SCHELL!
After hearing for over a year, how the general public is being misled, and that articles that promote vaping are being shared only among like-minded advocacy groups or in forums that essentially “preach to the choir” Schell Hammel made it a project to tell the story of David (a customer she bonded with in 2012, but lost the war with COPD from combustible tobacco in 2015) She wanted to show those mothers, fathers, grandmothers, legislators what the industry’s mission really is and dispel the bad publicity and propaganda. She set out to prove we are not big tobacco and just trying to entice a new generation to smoking. By using customer testimonies from her own stores, she partnered this with video from other advocates to drive the point home.
Schell Hammel is the owner of The Vapor Bar and is on the board of TX, WV and national SFATA.

A STATE OF TROUBLES…
An important message from Dimitris. Please read, share, and act!
FDA regulations being delayed obviously is a good thing, hoping the OMB is taking a hard look at what they potentially will do to our industry. There is a huge drawback with the delay though. Individual states are taking regulatory approaches towards the ecig industry. Most of the time, the bills are coming from special interest groups that stand to gain financially by passing laws that restrict manufacturing in a particular state and monopolize the distribution of vapor products. In some cases (wrongfully so) even some independent ecig manufacturers think this is a good thing… (facepalm)
I cannot STRESS ENOUGH how important it is for your state to form an association with a professional lobby (not one paid in liquid for exchange…) representing your interests. No matter what approach you take and how you decide to form a group, YOU MUST do something NOW!
Currently:
- Georgia is trying to pass regulations very similar to Indiana that will put out of business hundreds of moms and pops operations.
- Alaska is trying to impose 100% wholesale tax on vapor products.
- West Virginia would impose a new tax on e-liquid of 7.5¢ per milliliter ($9.00 on a 120ml bottle!), a 12% wholesale tax on devices, and hike the tax on smoke-free tobacco products like snus from 7% to 12%.
- New Jersey S 298 would ban the sale of vapor products in flavors other than tobacco, clove, and menthol.
- Oregon has a bill that would enact a 50% tax on the retail price of vapor products, including liquids and devices.
And these are just a few examples on how even without FDA regulations, the distribution, availability and affordability of vapor products to ex smokers (and potential ex smokers) is threatened.
We believe vapor products are NOT tobacco products!
We believe that we have the right to choose a healthier lifestyle!
We believe that we must fight to protect our industry!The time to act is now!
Get organized in your state, work with national groups and oppose any legislation that would benefit special interest groups.

From Rob
Hi Phil, I just wanted to drop a line to you. I’ve been cigarette free for 2 years today. I was introduced to vaping by a friend in Toronto (Darryl) who had come to Halifax on business. I tried using his kayfun lite and I was thrilled and thought that this was something that could get me off the stupid cigarettes that I’d been smoking for 33 years (ugh). I found a vape shop a couple hours away and went for a road trip the following weekend. Picked up a istick and a couple protank minis. Talked to Darryl and he told me of your and a couple other reviewers youtube channels and a couple of reputable Canadian websites. I watch hours of videos, ordered a kayfun lite and the adventure in coiling and wicking began, experimented with drippers and clapton wires etc but I’m still a mouth to lunger at heart.
I’ve watched every video that you have put on youtube since then. Recently you posted the one for the Kayfun Mini V3, I liked the video so much that I went and got one from Dash Vapes in Canada. It arrived this morning with the mini volt, built it just like you did in the video and its awesome (photo attached)!
The point I want to make is that what you do is important and appreciated, never forget it!
Thank you and keep the reviews coming!!
From Konstantinos
Hello Phil,
My name is Konstantinos and I live in Greece.And I smoked. Since I was 13 I did, as
an occasional “trying to look cool” “early thug life” type of smoker, and I did
until January 21st 2013. When a close friend of mine tried to quit cigarettes again
by vaping (2nd attempt) by purchasing an eGo type and I decided to give it a go. I
bought a pack of cigalikes, no button, just inhale and vape, tried a lot of juices
until I was happy with a sweet type of tobacco from a Greek company (Nobacco, in
parentheses if you don’t want to advertise). I decided to vape for financial issues
at first, with health being just secondary. I was a pack a day smoker, smoking heavy
25/pack cigarettes a day and I was getting laryngitis or bronchitis every 3 months
or so, like an early warning sign. I said to myself, you spent 40 euros,got no job,
now you are stuck with it, vape it. You are not going to smoke again.So I vaped. And then I started looking online for tips when I had trouble with my
atomizer, mostly Greek forums. Then YouTube. And I found a guy named riptrippers,
who was making his own coils on some super overpriced metal tubes, called mechanical
mods for some reason I still don’t get. And then I found a guy called Phil. Phil
wasn’t a teenager, he was mature. Phil made these reviews in an entertaining way
that appealed to me, made me look more into it.Because let’s get it straight, cigalikes sucked. And cigarettes were on my mind a
lot. I watched the review on the istick 20 and was like , that’s me. Who cares what
this guy says about pulse width modulation and voltage being higher than the screen
shows. I like it. And I found it in Greece, rebranded from the previously mentioned
Greek company, hugely overpriced, but I bought it anyway. And I loved it.Long story short, it was a one way street for a gadget loving guy like myself, to
get RDAs, build my own coils, temp control/limiting devices, that I still use in
kanthal, because I don’t know why, maybe I don’t like titanium, nickel and SS that
much. I got some mech mod clones (not enough money for any authentic), chased those
clouds, was that 1 guy in Greece that people glared at in the street trying to be a
truck exhaust. But I liked it, didn’t care (provided I didn’t annoy other people
around me). As long as it kept me off cigarettes. Finally I managed to save up
money, after I finally got a job in this crisis ridden country (that’s going from
bad to worse) and got my very own Kayfun v4 that I cherish. And switched from lung
to mouth to lung.This is not a fan email or some similar crap. It’s appreciation letter to you and
the work, the real WORK you do. I have learned so much about the hobby (because mods
and vaping ended up as a hobby for me),that I passed to others, friends and
colleagues in the bank that I work. I have managed to help (because I don’t like the
word convert, it’s too much of a cult/religious reference) 7 people to switch to
vaping. And I only hear thanks. And this “thanks ” should be addressed to you, who
managed to research so much and convince me, help me and inform me to stay on
e-cigarettes for more than 2 years now.So thank you Phil, for all your work, dedication and questionable love for Greeks
and excuse my language errors and syntax.Konstantinos
