From Ray
Good evening Phil,
No questions or comments for ya this time. Just wanted to say I really appreciate the work you do and outside of vaping hope all is well. You may not think so, but the vape community would be a much different place and much worse off without you in it. All the hard work you do for all of us and yourself, I don’t think we can all thank you enough. Ah crap I guess I did have a comment…oh well. Take care sir.

I just finished watching your second episode for the DNA-200, and I just wanted to say thank you. I see all of the effort you put into your videos and I wanted you to know how grateful I am. I have vaping for about four years now and I look to you for information on ways to enhance my vaping experience. I am in love with temp control but I cannot use nickel, i am allergic to it. I don’t know if vaping it would hurt me but prolonged exposure of it on my skin cause a painful rash so I’d rather not attempt it. I went with an evic vt to do titanium, but after your last videos see myself going to a Dna-200 when i can. Sorry going off topic, Again I just really wanted to thank you for everything you do for us as a community, you’re changing people’s lives by the thousands and I just wanted you to know it is appreciated.
Thanks Again,
Robert
A NOTE ABOUT THE ESCRIBE VERSION SEEN IN THE VIDEO…
Getting a lot of questions about this, so thought I’d do a post.
You saw me using version 1.0.34… but it’s not available. Yeah, I know.
Evolv supplied me with a later beta release of the software with the hope that it would be ready in time for public release and sync to the video.
Looks like that didn’t happen. I’ve contacted them and recommended they release it as soon as possible so I can stop fielding the same questions and comments over and over again.
I’m sure (hope) it will be released soon.
Thanks all. Now back to your regularly scheduled broadcast.
ANOTHER ONE FOR EPISODE 3 – THE COMPARISON – THE LAVABOX BY VOLCANO
- Love the look of this one!
- Love the feel of this one!
- Love the interchangeable colored grips!
- Love the ease of battery replacement! (it is a little tough getting the balance connector past the main connector)
- Would love to see the grips be snap-on or magnetic as apposed to screw-on for rapid changing.
- Not a fan of the fire button 🙁
When I first saw this, I thought it looked “manly”. Which is why Dimitris will hate it unless he can get a nice pink grip for it.
Since the device has the same shape on either side and the fire button is flush with the device, I find myself hunting for the fire button at times even with the grip telling me the orientation.
The flush mounted fire button was done intentionally to prevent it from being accidentally pressed.
So this is where everyone is going to be different. Some will not mind the button, but for me, the first time I need to hunt for the button… well… you know.
Expect to pay $169.99 for this one from Volcano.
If I change my mind and wind up liking the button, can you guys have a luau in my honor? 🙂
Photos show it next to a Shark 200 for a size comparison.

Hi Phil,
First of all I want to thank you. I was a smoker for 22 years and I quit and
switched to vaping after watching your videos and videos by GrimmGreen. I have been
cigarette-free for about three months. I was so excited to find something that
actually helped me quit smoking (I tried all of the “FDA approved’ methods) that I
even started my own YouTube channel dedicated to vape reviews and tutorials under
the name “CageClouds”. I only have about 240 subs right now after about two months,
but I am just so excited to share my experience about vaping with others. I just
wanted to let you know that you changed my life, and I wanted you to know that what
you are doing IS MAKING A DIFFERENCE in people’s lives. I know are very busy, but I
would love to get some feedback on my channel from you. Any help would be very much
appreciated. Thank you again..Kevin
From Dave
Hey Phil,
Thought of you today as I ordered an ISub Apex. Last year I emailed you for help on how to get into mods and tanks and you were just so helpful with your suggestions. You helped me settle on the MVP 20w and an Aspire Nautilus. I have used that set up for over a year now and as I await the Apex and a new battery for my KBox, I realize that the MVP 20w is going to get retired.
Your recommendation kept me off the stink sticks through some really difficult times, family deaths, employement issues, finacial issues, all things that would send me right back to Big Tobacco. I was Tobacco free for a year before you suggested the MVP/Nautilus combo but I highly doubt I would have made it through the rest of 2014/15 on the eGo cheapos I was vaping.
I just wanted to thank you again for the work you do, helping to keep this industry alive and giving hard data to users in a way we can understand and enjoy. So thanks for your work and keep it up! I’ll be keeping an eye on your videos to decide on what Mod I want next because the KBox is kinda boring!
Much respect and Love,
Your friend,
Dave

I just read the story by William and I am sitting here with tears in my
eyes. My Mom passed this June after 60 years of smoking and I don’t know what was
worse the day she died or taking her for chemo all those months. I have written to
you before but I am now over one year cig free and I swear if it wasn’t for you and
a select few of other You Tube reviewers that have guided me, I don’t know where
things would be. Again thanks Phil for everything
From Andre
Phil,
I just want to thank you very much for all your help and dedication. I have made a
decision a week ago to give up vaping and it has been a week since I stopped. Since
I won’t be following you as much as I used to in the past, I just wanted to show my
appreciation for everything you have done. Vaping helped me quit smoking, and now
I’ve been able to give up vaping as well, and thanks to you for keeping us out of
smoking. Again thanks you and I’ll be checking on your videos every once in a while.Sincerely,
Andre

Hi Phil,
Eight months since the email exchange below, I just wanted to quickly reach out to you.
Vaping has become a very enjoyable hobby for me.
Right now I am in Montreal Canada for a business trip and I’ve managed to visit 5
B&M’s while here. (I don’t have many in NL)
I’m enjoying every minute of this.The main intention of this email is to give you my whole-hearted thumbs up!
I watch every single one of your videos, and I feel I should again commend you on
your efforts.
Your visit to china and especially the recent visit to flavourart (imho) really show
the world to what, the right players, are doing to bring this movement further.
Thank you sooo much for all your efforts!I also follow other vaping content. (vp live and many other youtubers) I know they
tend to make fun of you at every possible moment.
Even though I feel you don’t care I wanted to voice my opinion that you _really_
shouldn’t care about them…Since the last email exchange I have converted 5 smokers to full-time vaping, your
efforts help me (and them) to have a voice.
I do understand that this is really a sacrifice you are making, the youtube
monetization doesn’t compensate what you are losing in family time.
As a father of two I value this even more.So hereby a big old man-hug from me….
Sincerest gratitude,
Bastiaan
