Hey Phil,
I know you’re probably overwhelmed with emails these days and wont be hurt if i don’t receive a response from you.
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you as i do every year for being integral to my success with quitting smoking 3 years ago today.
I found you about 3yrs ago when i was trying to learn how to rebuild my vivi nova heads. I, like you, was thrilled by the vivi when it first came out! My how far we’ve come! Since, i have evolved with the industry, started my own business wholesaling eliquid (Which is now distributed across 7 states) with the goal of providing the perfect flavor to get someone off the stinkies!
I love your style of review and all the detailed information you provide. Since I’ve found your website and youtube channel, I miss nothing you produce. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to meet you at some point in the near future. Perhaps the ECC in Chattanooga.
I would lovethe opportunity to share my eliquid with you as a token of my appreciation, not for review or for opinion or promotion, but simply as my way of saying thank you to a dear friend on this road to better health through vaping rather than smoking.
In closing, i just want to thank you again for all you do for the vaping community. Your advocacy, your reviews, your passion. Thanks for sharing so much time focusing on this industry, thank your wife for me as well for giving up time with her husband so you can be so detailed in your reviews and interviews. Im so glad she finally quit smoking! Thanks Phil!Kind Regards,
Matt
ATTACK OF THE SUB-OHM TANKS + NEW CONTEST
A PBusardo Review & Contest – Some Sub Ohm Tanks
Sorry, some of the audio is over-driven in this video.
In this video we get into and take a look at several different sub-ohm tanks currently on the market including:
- The Aspire Atlantis 2
- The Eleaf Lemo
- The FreeMax Starre
- The Horizon Tech Arctic
- The Innokin iSub
- The Smok VCT
- The Smok VCT-Pro
Is this all of the sub-ohm tanks currently on the market? No. And as I type this I’m sure another 10 of them have been released.
We wrap it all up up with a new contest.
From Dr. Farsalinos…
If you consider that a regular vaper consumes on average 4mL per day, the 20 or 30mL range can only be characterized as extreme. And as everything extreme, it cannot be good. Imagine someone drinking half gallon of water and another drinking 10 times that. Water is good, but not at quantities 10 times higher than average!!!
The reasons are many: flavors have unknown properties when inhaled, even VG and PG have unknown properties when inhaled on a daily basis. At low quantities we expect the risk to be minimal, but 20 or 30mLs are extreme quantities and we do not know what will happen. We always say that it is not the chemical but the amount that defines toxicity. I consider vaping 30mL per day an extreme amount. It is definitely much worse than vaping 4mL per day.
We know that e-cigarettes contain few toxic chemicals. The more you vape, the more you get.
If you remember, i told you during our meeting that subohm vaping concerns me not because of the high wattage but because i have not seen anyone doing subohm and consuming less than 10mL of liquid.
Taking the opportunity, i will make my first aldehyde measurements at subohm vaping in early May.

WAY TO GO!
WAY TO GO FOLKS! We need to see more of this. Very impressive! BE HEARD!!
Thanks for the heads up on this Edward Wolff!
This video was started about four minutes in to the opposition comments. So it represents about 70% of the opposition voiced.
This is a video of the opposition to Senate Bill 140, sponsored by State Senator Leno, at the California State Capitol on 4-8-2015.
The room was packed and many Vapers and Vendors were pushed off into overflow rooms. It was scheduled for 1:30, but Vapers had to wait until 6 pm before they could be say only their name and their stance on the Bill. Many Vapers had to leave before they were allowed to speak in opposition.
.
It was clear on the faces of the politicians that this showing by Vapers made a large impact to them. It would be fair to say that they were Stunned.Huge shout out to SFATA-CA and Stefan Didak who were on the preset panel.

NEW IN THE QUEUE – 4/6/15 – THE YIHI SX-MINI M-CLASS
Take a first look at the Yihi SX-Mini M-Class. This has the same 60 watts as the original SX-Mini, but now offers temp control.
Temp control works much like the DNA-40 by setting a temp limit. But unlike the DNA-40, you manually put the SX-Mini into temp control (Power&&Joule Menu setting set to Joule), you manually synch and lock in the resistance of your attached atty by pressing and holding the up and down button until your resistance is displayed (once again both the device and the attached atty need to be at matching room temperatures), and then you adjust via Joules not Watts. Is this Yihi trying to be different? Trying to be better? Trying to confuse us? Or trying to avoid patent infringement. Hmmm…
It appears that they addressed all my ergonomic issues including a fire button with more rounded sides and a outer shell that does cut into the hand as much due to a slight bevel. It really does feel better in the hand.
I do like outer casing finish of the original more though.
Don’t expect a review on this right away, but know that testing has begun.
In the photos below, the new M-Class is the one to the left. The original is shown to the right for comparison.
