Phil,
I am new to the vaping community and just wanted to take the time to thank you for all the great videos you put out. You have really taught me a lot about all of this stuff. I really enjoy your reviews. You are incredibly thorough and detailed and very entertaining on top of it all!! I look forward to following you on YouTube and learning more from you as I move forward. Keep up the great work!!
From Sam
Hey Phil, Hope your doing well.
As I sit down tonight and reflect on my first year of being completely smoke-free, I thought it would be a good idea to reach out to those that made a difference in my journey. I cannot tell you how many evenings I spent reading, watching and researching how I would begin. A friend of mine got me started with an Ovale Ego-C kit, but it didn’t fully take until I started learning more, learning the technique required and honestly, until I found your site. Tasteyourjuice, along with your YouTube Videos were definitely one of the first sites that I could identify with. I started with your review of the Ovale Ego-C and kept on going! I think I watched a couple of hours of reviews the first night. It gave me the information I needed, in a way I could identify with and gave me the confidence in the products I needed to throw my cigarettes away.
One year, many, many, many mods and over 100 e juices later, I can confidently say, I will never ever return to smoking. I believe that you, Phil Busardo, have contributed a great deal to that success. From you satirical Legal Vape 4000, to the Flame Tamer, to your open and honest reviews, you have made the journey enjoyable!. I’m glad we’ve gotten to meet several times and share a vape here and there. Along with Niagara (Shawn) and several others, I can now say that I’m one year away from smoking and certainly one step closer to better health.
In closing, I would like to say, Thank You, thank you for being one of the most valuable resources in vaping! At the end of the day the products are all well and good, but without people like you, that care about their fellow person, I would still be on track for an early grave. You’ve made a difference, and it’s a message and a mantle that I hope I can pick up and carry with me and help other in the same way you’ve helped me!
A heart-felt Thanks
Sam

Hey there Phil,
I don’t normally send out e-mails to folks I watch youtube videos of. Usually seems
fairly pointless because most of what I watch is parodies of music videos using
various games, gameplay footage, and people fishing for squirrels.To start, I’ve been a fairly heavy smoker since I was twelve. Got caught and quit
until I was eighteen. When I started back up, I was barely a quarter pack a day.
Now, I’m 25, I’m anywhere from three quarters of a pack to two packs a day depending
on the day of the week. In the last seven years, I’ve tried quitting seventeen
different times. Tried cold turkey, tried gum, patches, lowering my limit. Nothing
was working. The longest I went without a cigarette was -about- two days. Even on
the patch and gum, I still snuck in a quarter to half a cig if I was -really-
stressed.Last year, I started getting into electronics. Specifically- The Blu, sold at the
Walgreens I used to work at. My attempted migration to the Blu netted me a good
three weeks without the real thing. But it was missing something- vapor. Part of
what makes/technically still makes smoking an enjoyable experience for me is being
able to just blow clouds when I’m stressed. Something to focus on that isn’t just
what’s in front of me.A buddy of mine that I play EVE Online with that works for Gator Vapor out of
Florida (www.gatorvapor.com) was posting pictures of some… Rather impressive
clouds. The likes of which I’d have assumed would have been following some sort of
explosive. He started telling me about “vaping,” and I started asking him all sorts
of questions. How does it work, how expensive is it, how close is it to “the real
thing,” for… Well. The smoking equivalent of your V-T-F.He pointed me to the VAMO V2 on the Gator Vapor website, and, being someone that
likes to know things about things that maybe other people wouldn’t know… I fired
up my GoogleFu (Yes. GoogleFu. Like Kung-Fu but with Google.) I saw a lot of product
reviews, but all of them were static photos and typed out over god knows how long.
Started losing interest fairly quickly.Watching your review on youtube for the VAMO sealed the deal. Your obvious
enthusiasm for the reviews you do really shows through consistently throughout
the… Well. I’ve been watching your videos since monday, learning as much as I can
before my VAMO arrives.As a heavy smoker whose repeated failed attempts are starting to catch up with him,
thank you for doing video reviews that are as entertaining as they are educational.
Being able to learn about the product itself, see how its’ assembled, know what to
expect from it, and actually seeing it in use make it significantly easier to at the
very least open the door. Keep up the reviews, whether they’re good or bad. Maybe
I’ll be able to get in on one of your contests at some point as well.Thanks to what I’m learning about vaping from APV’s as opposed to E-Cigs, I’m
significantly more confident about being able to make a more seamless transition.
There are people I work with as well that are curious about vaporizers and I’m
already pointing them to your videos because they’ve been the most educational to
me.My VAMO and iClear30 will be arriving in the mail in less than 12 hours. I hope to
be sending you a ‘success story’ at some point, but regardless of my outcome, I
still thank you for the time you put into your videos, and your devotion to -what-
you do.Chris

Hey Phil,
I’m a fairly new vaper, just started about 2 months ago really. I tried blu way back
a few years ago, but I couldn’t stick with it because it just didn’t do it for me so
I went back to the “regular”. A couple of months ago, I decided to go back and give
it a shot with some new stuff on the market and to appease my fiance and mom because
they were worried I would have health issues later on (which I definitely would). I
have already seen a dramatic increase in stamina in that I don’t get winded nearly
as easily and taste and all has started to come back. Anyways, that’s my background
and here is why I am contacting you. Your videos and everything you do has been
amazing and I’m one of the many benefactors of your efforts. I am currently using
Halo Triton VV’s, but I’m wanting to step up to something else now. I’ve decided to
go with the Provari, but that is as far as I’ve gotten.All the best,
Drake
NEW GLASS CLEAROS FROM KANGER
Check out these new glass clearos from Kanger.
The Mini ProTank 3 & The EVOD Glass.
Since the head design hasn’t changed in these, I probably won’t be doing a full review. I did, however, want to let you know about them and show you some photos of the original packaging and design.
The heads appear to be identical, both are dual coil, both are reading 1.6 ohms, both have glass tanks. The bases are compatible, but the Mini ProTank 3 base is a little longer.
I’ve already seen photos of the Mini ProTank 3 with colored glass. I’m sure the EVOD Glass will come in colors as well.
From Jason
I just wanted to take a quick minute to say thanks! The incredible amount of information you provide has made me a knowledgeable vaper, and I am only 2 weeks in ( and completely tobacco free). I’ve even turned a couple friends on who needed/wanted to leave tobacco behind.
Hope to see you at Vapefest D.C.!
Jason
MY AWARD FOR THE DAY…
Ok, this one touched me. I guess I don’t do it for Candy Crush lives after all…
Hey Phil.
Remember last year when I came to you with all these questions about how to fill devices as a blind person? Well, after almost a year of filling cartomizers, I finally figured out a way to fill a clearomizer.
Because of your reviews and how well you describe things, even though I can’t see what you’re doing, I always understand everything you share. So I bought one. It’s great. And, I, can fill it!
Thanks for all you do, Phil.
“It’s so easy, you can do it with your eyes close.” Heh.
THANK YOU Mary Ann! Continued success to you in all your vaping endeavors. Don’t you worry, I’ll keep being as descriptive as possible!

An opportunity for vapers to directly address the decision makers of Europe so they can choose to ignore our opinion no more. We need to collect one million signatures before the 25th of November 2014, and reach the minimum quota in seven member states.
We, the vapers of Europe and supporters of the subject, demand electronic cigarettes and its related products, regardless of its nicotine content, to be classified as general purpose recreational products through legislation, once and for all, and strictly not as medicinal, tobacco or any other kind of products that would limit or impair the vapers’ access to and use of electronic cigarettes and related products.
