Hey Phil,
I just wanted to say thanks for all of the great reviews. I love watching your
reviews, because I really like how you go into details on each product. Some other
reviewers are not as descriptive and usually leave me with unanswered questions.
Thanks again for all of your help, and I look forward to watching more of your
reviews of all the new stuff the keeps hitting the seen.Sincerely,
Michael

First off I am 40 and smoked a pack and a half of Marlboro reds for 21 years. I am happy to say that I have been analog free for 2 months. My kids and wife are very happy that I am not smoking anymore. I can say that in the short time I have been vaping my sense of smell and taste are coming back. And I had my wife who is a nurse check my blood pressure 2 days ago and it has dropped. My top number was in the 140s and it stayed there for the past couple of years. I know this because I donate blood and get a yearly physical. When she checked it the other day it was at 130. I wish i remember the bottom number but I can’t. But she was happy by the result.
7 years ago I tried the prescription drug xyban with no success. Wanting to quit I decided to give e cigarettes a try. My first experience was with the Blu product. It seemed ok but after 2 days it started hurting my throat. I tried new units but had the same frustrating results. Went back to smoking.
2 months later the store I bought my analogs from started stocking e juice and I bought an evod starter kit. Tried this unit in the evenings and continued smoking during the day at work. On weekends I would only use the evod. It took me 2 weeks to figure out I could make this work. I gave the 3 remaining packs of analogs to a co worker because I knew I wouldn’t need them anymore.
I started doing research and came across your website. And let me say thank you for all the work and time you put in so people like me can get great information on products. You really helped me down the path I am on. I know I couldn’t have gotten as far as I have with vaping if not for people like you that are willing to give up their time to help people like me just getting started. It can be a little intimidating and you do a great job of answering questions that someone just getting started would have.
The 2 units I use are an Itaste vv version 3 with an aerotank mini. And I have a Provari with a Kayfun lite plus that I absolutely love. And again thank you for the videos that cut the learning curve down for me. I also have a kanger pro tank 3 that I use. I started vaping 24mg juice and just dropped to 18mg juice. I am happy to say that dropping down had worked fine for me and am looking forward dropping down to the next level with my nicotine.
Again thank you for all you do for the vaping community. And the help that you have given me getting to where I am at vaping.

A FAST AND EASY SURVEY ON E-LIQUID FLAVORS…
Clair Padilla is a graduate student and a fellow vapor working on a research project. She’s agreed to allow me to publish her results here so let’s help her out with this survey.
I’m pretty sure I know where she’s going with this one. 😉
Very fast and very easy to do.
Please take the survey HERE.
Phil,
Back in early 2012 you had a contest for a jazz cartopipe. In this contest you asked for people to send you story’s about a loved one who smoke a pipe that could use this to get off of cigarettes. I sent in the story about my father and you chose him. I am happy to say that my dad no longer Smokes a pipe.
He is a happy vapor he has moved in to the VV/VW realm now and passed the Jazz Cartopipe on to someone else that could use it.
I just wanted to thank you personally for all that you do for the vaping community. Not only did you help my dad but you helped me. Because back when I first quit analogs I would watch your videos and other vaping videos whenever I was at home and craving an analog. Those would keep my mind off of the desire to smoke a real cigarette.
Thank you, Jimmy

A LITTLE HELP FOR WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Although we have our own issues here in the states, I wanted to show a little love for Western Australia…
Legalise the sale of Personal Vaporisers in Western Australia.
Short Summary
– A recent court appeal win by the Department of Health has ruled that no Personal Vaporisers (PV – or e-cig) are allowed to be sold within Western Australia.
– The ruling includes all PVs – meaning everything from “cig-a-likes” through to high end “mods” are included in the ban.
– The ban on selling PVs is total – including both private and commercial sales.
– Cigarettes are legally available for sale in Australia to adults (18+ years old).
– Approved “NRT” products (mists, patches and gum) are freely available for sale in Australia – they are displayed on supermarket shelves.
– This petition requests the Minister responsible change the laws to allow the legal sale of PVs.

Hey Phil, just wanted to say thanks for all the reviews you do on all the
ecig products that are out there. Even though I don’t base all my purchases on
reviews by one person, I’ve found your reviews to be the most thorough.I was a 1/2 a pack smoker and a 1/2 a can a day dipper for the better part of 20
years (I’m only 35, I started early, lol). I started my vaping journey with a
little 650 ego and a ce4. I knew there had to be something better out there, but a
trip to a little B&m left me with more questions than answers. So I took YouTube.
I think I watched all your vids. From the pt2, to the russian91/ kayfun. I even
found the review of the POS interesting. Long story short, I now use a ProVari with
a authentic Russian 91%. Even your tutorials on how to make micro coils helped. I
currently use a 1.3ohm 28ga coil. Made myself of course, 😉Anyways, I just wanted to say thanks for all you do for the vaping community, from
veterans to newbies alike. I’ve been tobacco free for 6 months thanks in part to
your reviews. Keep up the good work!Anthony
