Hi Phil
I think it’s about time to send a big Thank you! from germany.
I’m pretty new to this whole vaping thing, about half a year ago I started with an
EVOD2 set. After a few weeks of dual use, since December 2nd, I’m totally away from
analouges.
And you’re part of my success by making your incredible show I stumbled upon a while
ago when doing research online.
I’m also new to this Youtube subscription thing but finally I got a Smartphone and
became a subscriber of your show. But be sure, I saw a lot of your videos, even not
logged in.
Among this nowadays very big crowd of youtubers who do vaping content, maybe a
handful stand out and you Sir are undoubtly one of ’em.
Decent work man, go on and please: never stop! Perfect mixture of information and
entertainment.Sorry for my English; as I have no native tongue, some sentences may sound strange
to you. But I think, you can decrypt what I was trying to say. 😉Sincerely yours
Jens

Phil,
Just wanted to say thanks. I quit dipping snuff (a can a day) and occasionally
smoking analogs 6 weeks ago as a Christmas present to my wife (and kids). I stumbled
into a B&M vape shop on the way to work and bought an eVOD on a whim. Started
looking around online, found your site and now I’m a huge fan. Literally everything
I have learned about vaping is from you. I now vape a Nautilus Aspire mini on a 30w
iStick. Next month: a Russian! Gotta get some ceramic tweezers….
Anyway, you’re a gifted, thoughtful, entertaining engineer and I appreciate what you
give to us in the vaping community. Thanks a ton.Matt

Hi Phil,
Thank you, thank you, thank you. One year and two months ago, I decided to change my
life and try to give up tobacco sticks. Well I started searching the internet in
November 2013 and after looking at various sites, and getting rather confused, I
stumbled into your website. WOW what a difference.
You explain every thing in a clear, easy to understand way.
On the 20th December I visited my local B&M and bought an MVP2 starter kit and I
have never looked back. I had my last tobacco stick on Christmas Eve 2013.
Thank you for giving up your time to pass on your advice and information in a clear
and concise way.
I’m hoping to see you at Vape Jam UK.
Thank you Phil
Sally

Cloupor Mini – Heats… ah I mean… Heads Up
One of the things I hate most about doing these reviews is when I have a good experience with a device and you do not. Keep in mind that in my reviews, I can only report on my personal experience with a device.
I’ve heard and seen enough regarding this device, so I took it upon myself to issue a warning even with the overall thumbs up it received in the video.
I can’t speak to what’s causing the melt-down of this device, but with regulated devices, no matter HOW you use them OR charge them, they should not melt down. They should have the built in safety required to keep you safe and prevent issues like this from happening.
I’m now getting reports that these are getting hot on their own without firing, just sitting idle.
Here are some of the photos I’ve seen:
These photos just added. From the user:
Dead Cloupor Mini after burning. Not in USB charge at that time, just sit on a table on in standby mode! Never charge it on USB port. It just burn on the table, not is use when it’s happened! (sorry for the bad English)
I did have some conversation with Cloupor and I wasn’t exactly thrilled with the response:
Hi Phill ,
firstly, we are so sorry to hear the melted issue . But , it’s very very rare rate happened in mini device .As the state we collect until today , we shipped out more than 100 thousand out , only about 40-50pcs with melted issue….
His email goes on, but IMHO, not matter how small the percentage, NO pieces should be melting. I would consider this a pretty major defect.
Recalls are costly and ugly, but in this case, it may very well be warranted.
Buy, use, and charge these at your own risk!
This post will be placed with the review here on TasteYourJuice and a warning placed in the description of the video itself.  I know that Cloupor has my review listed on their site and I’m asking it be removed.

Phil,
You may or may not read this, but either way, I wanted to take a moment to let you know that your videos are fantastically helpful to me and I am sure many others.
The thing that kept me vaping instead of smoking was the hobby aspect. Trying new things, learning what worked, and getting excited about new design like the Kayfun v4 (holy shit they fixed everything that was wrong with the first fantastic edition.)
I just wanted to offer some personal thanks to you for what you do. I have been able to make some great purchases and found things that I really love by watching some of your reviews.
Keep ’em coming, and thanks so so much.
Harrison
From Christopher
Phil, I have noticed that your name and your reviews are the standard that
all others follow. We need more people of your expertise to promote vaping and
encourage more people to quit cigarettes. I have been a deputy sheriff for 15 years
and I recognize sincerity and honesty when I watch/study your reviews and “how to”
videos. I like to see people succeed and prosper from hard work and you definitely
put 100% into your reviews. Your reviews promote better industry practices and
encourage more people to put down the “analogs” (as you call the cigarettes). Thanks
for your time. Christopher

Hi Phil,
You probably get this email a lot so I will try and keep it short. The entire point of this e-mail is just to say thank you very much for all you do for us new people that are just getting out of smoking and in to vaping. So thank you sir. I hope you get a hundred times more than what you give. That is all (unless you have time to read the rest)I am a 39 year old man. I started smoking at about the age of 13. A couple years after, I had turn into a pack a day smoker. A couple years ago, maybe more, I read something about ecigs and was very interested in something that could possibly take the place of smoking and be healthier for me. I did a little research and ended up ordering a starter kit from greensmoke. Oh man I could not wait for this miracle device that was coming in the mail. I had such high hopes for this to be my way out. So the I received my starter kit. Wow was I disappointed. It was cute little cig alike. It had a little taste and almost no vapor. I’m sure you can guess what happen after. I went right back to my smokes.
On November 19 2014 I decided to do a search on vaping. Your youtube channel and a bunch of others popped up. After watching some of the videos and seing how much vapor was being produced, I decided to give it another shop. That next day I went to a local pipe shop and picked up my first ego battery and iclear30 tank. I was amazed at how much things had changed.I am guessing that it must have been much longer than two years since I tried the greensmoke device.
On November 20 was when I had my last analog smoke. I refuse to say that I quit smoking because I feel that me saying that will make me want it again.Since that day, I have done nothing but look at youtube videos about vaping and have since then purchased several tanks and a box mod. Out of all the videos I have come across, yours are by far the most informative and entertaining. There are other great youtubers doing vaping videos but I find my self going back to yours the most. I feel like you have helped me more than you will ever know and more than you will ever get back in return. For this sir, I thank you more than I can express.
Forever in you debt,
Jorge

I’m so happy I found your reviews. I’m 56 and just finished my first year of vaping
after 40 years of smoking. Most of the video reviewers I’ve seen are kids and don’t
give anywhere near the details you do. I want those lengthy, in-depth reviews.
I own a wholesale food company distributing to stores across the northern half of
Arizona and am considering adding vaping hardware and liquid to my wholesale lines
and possibly retail. There is only one vape store in Flagstaff which is a college
town of 80,000 people. I’ve had aggressive offers from one company out of Florida
which I’ve seen you review but haven’t yet explored other brands.
If you have any insight I’d appreciate it.
I currently vape the EMOW mega with an Aerotank Mega tank.
I just ordered the IPV mini and am thinking about using the Kanger subtank mini or
nano with it after watching your reviews last night. I’m partial to Kanger. I was
going to order the Vox 50 until I saw your review which brought me down since all
other reviews were so favorable but I just can’t dismiss yours.
Thanks for all you do and if you have time I’d love a response.Wendell
