Dear Phil
This email has been a long time coming for me, and will be a long time writing as well. I’ll ask forgiveness about the length of this email now. I had been a smoker since I was the retarded old age of 14 years old. I found vaping in 2011, starting with a company called Totally-Wicked E-Liquid. I got my first cigalike from them, followed by the eGo style batteries. These worked fairly well, but I continued to smoke because they always left me wanting more. Along comes the first clearomizer from Kanger, and I loved it when it didn’t leak. I quickly upgraded from an ego to a Provari mostly in part thanks to your video’s. I stayed in the clearomizer world for awhile, dipping into carto’s now and again, and continued smoking traditional cigarettes. I never could find that one thing to push me over the edge to get me to drop cigarettes. Then I watch a video from you about the first kayfun build you ever did, and your reaction to how it worked so wonderfully for you. I bought one and totally agreed but again, couldn’t kick the cigarettes. I knew it had to do with what I was vaping in terms of flavor and had a funny feeling I was going to have to trick myself out of cigarettes. I kept watching your videos, sometimes over and over again trying to figure out why I couldn’t kick the pesky little buggers and I noticed a trend you had back then. You swore by Boba’s Bounty. I had tended to stay away from thicker eliquid simply because they gummed up my atomizers, but after watching several reviews, hearing you getting upset about Boba’s when AVE shutdown there webstore for a bit, I figured I’d give it a try and see how I liked it. Little did I know that on my first day of using it, one year ago today, that it would be what finally got me off traditional cigarettes once and for all after 5 attempts of cold turkey, the patch, the gum, the terrifying Chantix crap and an inhaler my doctor assured me would work that only caused my mouth to bleed. I would have never heard of this eliquid if not for you, I’d have never purchased a Kayfun, a Russian, two Provari’s and a ZNA if not for you. I’ve emailed you several times this past year and you always get back to me, and Im sure all of your other followers. The things you have done for the vaping community, and for me can never be rewarded properly, but I wanted to send this email to you as my only way of saying thank you for all that you do and continue to do, and thank you for helping me in quitting cigarettes, you’re certainly a life saver in your own right.Thank you, vape on!

- 12/12/14 – For those of you who have asked, I’ve added photos showing the Subtank on both the Hana Mod and the Vapor Shark rDNA. Not that it will not fire on the Hana without the 22mm to 25mm adapter due to the 22mm recess on the Hana.

Hi Phil,
I’ll be 55 next month, and I was a steadfast smoker until early this past summer.
You were one of the key people who I was lucky enough to stumble upon when I began
my research and helped me make a smart transition to vaping. I share your passion
for this business/industry, and I hope to see it evolve and mature in positive ways.I enjoy your video’s, thoughts, reviews and comments, so thank you for everything
you do and keep up the great work.Keith
From John
Hey PBusardo,
I just wanted to thank you for doing what you’re doing. Your web site and youtube
channel are, simply put, invaluable resources for both the new and experienced
vaper. I used to smoke at least a pack a day, and the world of e-cigs is vast and
confusing for the newcomer. I’ve been cig free for months now and I can honestly say
that without this site and a few of your videos I would have never been able to jump
that initial hurdle successfully.Thank you for bringing integrity to our rapidly-growing community and always keeping
things in perspective.John
From Bruce
Hey P!
Since you have rocketed to STARDOM (I LOLd at this) over the last few years I have refrained from adding to your workload by sending you any unnecessary correspondence, knowing you are probably under siege most of the time.
BUT I want you to know you continue to be a beacon of information for me, and that my friend IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!
I am now well over 6 years analog free, and I know I would NEVER have made it without your guidance, astute product assessment, and overall support that I was indeed going down the right road.
I find your videos to be insightful, mostly concise, extremely informative, and always fun to watch!
KEEP UP THE GOOD FIGHT MY BROTHER!!!!

INNOKIN ANNOUNCES THE MVP20… AND HINTS AT ANOTHER
For those of you who were looking for a little bit more from the next MVP, Innokin has hinted to me that what you see below will not be the ONLY MVP coming. Hint Hint. As I hear more, I’ll let you know. IMHO, this version is more of a device to compete with the iStick.
From Innokin…
The Innokin iTaste MVP20W: 20 Watts of Intelligent Vaping Power in the legendary 100% Stainless Steel body of the Innokin iTaste MVP!
Innokin is proud to announce that the iTaste MVP20W is now available for order! The MVP20W has been powered up to 20Watts and upgraded with a better chip and a sleeker look.
The iTaste MVP20W now has a high quality flush 510 spring loaded connection that is designed to connect perfectly with all standard 510 tanks. An EGO thread adaptor is packaged with the MVP20W so you can also vape with great tanks like the new Gladius-Mars.
The MVP20W is variable voltage with a range of 3.3 – 7.5 volts adjustable in .1 volt increments and variable wattage from 6.0 – 20.0 Watts adjustable in .5 watts increments. The easy to use integrated ohm reader will display the resistance of any attached tank and the handy puff counter helps you keep track of your daily vape.
The iTaste MVP20W is smarter with a 32-bit ARM microprocessor which means far faster data processing power and superior vaping performance. The steady VDC power output with an output voltage accuracy of +-1% greatly reduces noise and increases battery life and reliability.
The large capacity of the internal 2600mAh battery means you can depend on the long lasting power of the MVP20W and it’s also a backup portable charger that can power your mobile phone and other electronic devices.
The MVP20W is a smart, powerful and durable vaporizer that’s built with Innokin quality and backed by the Innokin 90 Day Limited Warranty.
