GOOD LUCK TO MY FRIENDS IN WASHINGTON STATE!!
From Brent
Although I receive emails like this all the time, and they’re all very important to me, I thought this special enough to share.
Folks, THESE are my trophies. This is why I do what I do. They keep me going and make all the time and effort worth while.
Thank you Brent!
I’ll tell you the same thing I tell everyone else. YOU saved your lives! Give yourself all the credit. There’s no way for me to reach through YouTube and knock the cigarettes out of your hands. You are the ones who were strong, and you were the ones who quit. Maybe I just helped a little. 🙂
Need a little pick me up? Need some motivation to continue and be successful? See Brent’s and many other wonderful emails I’ve received in the Success Stories & Validation section!
Phil!
Thank you so much for your quick response! I will add one more thing for you to
think about. When my wife was diagnosed with COPD the doctor stated, “it’s just a
touch of it on the bottom of your left lung and it will eventually turn into scar
tissue as long as you never smoke again.”Fact 1: Neither one of us would have ever been able to kick the habit with the
resources and information that was available at the the time (I.e blu, young
internet reviewers that we really didn’t relate well to, etc).Fact 2: If we would not have found tasteyourjuice.com we would probably still be
smoking today. Simply put your website made me feel like I was vape “expert” over a
few days of reading your blogs and watching your videos. Without your informative,
entertaining and just straight damn “down to earth” (yes, Phil you make everyone
feel comfortable from age 20-80) website, I would not have been confident enough to
transition from ” Winston full Flavor” to some weird alien looking device that has
volt and watt controls.Fact 3: If tasteyourjuice.com was not there for us at that particular time, we may
have eventually quit but instead of her having a “touch of COPD” she very possibly
could be disabled, on oxygen or even worse by this point. To make matters worse, she
even admitted that she probably would have never quit if she was still a smoker when
she was diagnosed with it. In my opinion, she would have became depressed and
probably would have continued the habit using the philosophy many smokers use,
“there is no cure, so what’s the point!”Yes we did it! She quit after 32 years of smoking and myself after 24 years but you
were there to provide us with the knowledge, “know how” and confidence we needed at
a very critical time to be successful! Phil, I cannot emphasize enough the extremely
critical role you played in this process. Simply put, there is a very high
probability, YOU SAVED HER LIFE and extended and/or saved mine by supplying us with
your information!We will never be able to thank you enough for what you do every day. Please remember
that for every 1 person that emails you a success story, there are probably 1000s of
people do not. Many people feel that they don’t have the time and/or confidence of
their writing abilities or like myself, I never thought you would have the time to
read all those emails!Yes Phil, YOU have saved a countless amounts of lives and we all you an enormous
amount of gratitude.THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!!
From Bob

NICE JOB KEVIN – VCC TAMPA
One of the things I really appreciate and respect from Kevin of the VCC events is how he incorporates advocacy into the event and makes some key players in advocacy available to you.
Sponsored by Innokin and Halo this was the 2nd Advocacy Session held at a VCC Event with a great panel that included legal and advocacy minds from the industry.
Alot of this discussion was focused on state legislation as well as FDA deeming regulations.

From Andrew
Phil. Sir Phil. Ever since I started vaping 10 months ago I have come to
you for reviews on all the good things vaping related. Not only have your reviews
been informative, but also entertaining. When I think of vaping I think of Phil. My
vape gear goes hand in hand with a good ol’ review. If you were to stop then vaping
would never be the same. So I felt it was due time to send you a message and say
THANK YOU for all your great work for this industry. I’m a huge fan of your work and
I’ll continue to entertain myself with a PB review with my Sunday morning Coffee and
vape of choice. I hope this gets to you so you know how much I and so many others
appreciate what you do. Keep up the good work. I only just noticed you have some
merch, so i’m definitely putting an order in for some, to support a true vaping
icon. Would love to see you come for a trip to Australia one day. Keep up the good
work mate!Yours Truely,
Andrewp.s Say hi to Dimitri and tell him I love his favorite color. My girlfriend loves
pink too. They will get along well 😉 lo
