Hey Phil, just wanted to say thanks for the videos. Really been learning a
lot. I smoked for about 15 years. Tried a few times to quit. Vaping finally gave me
what I needed. It has been two months now and haven’t wanted an analog. I am a
paramedic and my partner smoked. After getting some mechanicals and PVs and
rebuildables,(yes, I went nuts on gear) I was able to loan my egos and clearos to my
partner. Now she and HER partner 😉 are vaping instead of smoking. Not smoking is
awesome, but the hobby part of vaping is what really intrigues me. Love seeing the
reviews on these products. Now we just need more of them in stock! Thanks Phil.

Hi Phil,
I just wanted to let you know that I am so thankful for your videos and information and I used your information to stop chewing tobacco. I started smoking at about 16 years old and in my 20s I got tired of the smell and the feelings in my lungs so I had the brilliant idea 🙁 to stop smoking and start chewing…..I am now 41 and have been off the chew for three months now. My gums are already healing according to my dentist and their overall health is vastly improved in just a few months. I figured you might not hear a lot from guys like me who chew tobacco, but vaping does work for us too! I watched a lot of your videos and I love Good Life’s Original Sin as well! Try Vape Dude’s cheesecake, if you haven’t already. It truly tastes like a cheesecake! AmazingThanks again Pete….oops Phil :), I appreciate your efforts!

Hey Phil,
I wanted to thank you for helping me find a better way and share my story with you.
Cigarettes – I’m originally from northern california and started smoking around 16. It was irregular, until I turned 19 and started drinking more regularly. Then I was a few cigarettes a day, or half-pack a night smoker (when I was drinking). That continued until I was 26 with several attempts to quit smoking (cold turkey) which usually lasted 3-6 months.
Vaping – After college, I quit smoking with the help of Blu E-Cigs. It was “cool” at first, but after about a month it was just a way to quit smoking. I quit Blu after about 3 months because it was such a pain in the ass (swapping batteries, charging different devices, etc). It was easy to quit at that time as I was living in an area in Utah where smoking wasnt very prevalent. Plus life was going good – generally stress free. I also MOSTLY quit drinking (not on any kind of ‘wagon’ but definitely not weekly binges).
Fast forward a year of being tobacco free and my wife and I decided to make the move to Texas, to be closer to her family, after having our son. We moved in with her folks last August while we sold the house in Utah, and while we looked in Texas. We both continued to work for the companies we were working with in Utah, but from home. EVERYONE smokes in Texas, including her parents (though not in the house). My cravings fired up BIG TIME being at their house 24/7 and the stresses of moving and living with inlaws (they were great, but its always stressful living with someone else at their place). I still had my blu, but I knew it wouldnt cut it. I started the hunt for “Better than Blu.” I found your site and watched a dozen relevant videos in the >$100 range 🙂 after seeing what everything was about and SEVERAL DAYS of research, I finally ordered a Joyetech Ego-T passthrough 1300mAh with a few Evod tanks and a Vivi Nova. I LOVED IT! Soon after I bought a Vision Spinner 900mAh and those two setups last me several months. I was mostly using AVEJuice, though later tried some TexasSelectVapor juice, and found a few flavors I enjoyed (mmm FIREBALL).
The end of January I upgraded to a SiD, with a Fogger v3, a KFL+ clone, and Trident RDA clone (couldn’t afford the authentics). I checked reviews from you, GrimmGreen, and RipTrippers. I really enjoy rebuilding! I’m mostly doing standard 28ga micro coils, though i bought some 32ga kanthal by accident, so I’ve tried some twisted wire… nothing to write home about. I also picked up about $100 of liquid from MTBakerVapor as everyone on ECF loves it, and my wife hated the tobacco/coffee flavors I was getting from AVEJuice.
I’m 28 and vaping 6mg nic. I’m soon going to step that down to zero as I love the flavors, the hobby and the community. I’ve also lost 10 lbs over the last few months because I’m not snacking all day and just generally eating healthier.Nothing spectacular, but thats my story.
Thank you again for doing awesome reviews.
I hope to throw some Vape Conventions in the future here in Texas (thinking of doing 3, Austin, Houston, Dallas), but I’ll let you know. I hope you can make it, but I know you already do so much. So no worries if you cant! If you have any advice or direction on event planning I’d love to hear it, but again, I know you are extremely busy.Thank you again for your great support for this community,
TJ
From Shawn
Phil, I would like to here or see some info on people who have stopped
using smokeless tobacco and started vaping. I for one have. After 30 yrs of using
snuff, I started vaping and never looked back. It was a little hard a first account
I didn’t smoke. I prefer the fruity flavors with a 80/20 PG VG ratio @ 18 mgs. That
said I do hear a lot of people on different forums advising non-smokers not to start
vaping. In my opinion vaping is a much safer alternative than the smokeless tobacco.
From Terry
Hi phil my name is terry and im writing to you from Scarborough in the uk.
I personally just want to say a massive thank you i watch your videos every night
(no its not sad)and i have found it so helpful. I have been smoking normal cigs for
25 years and decided to give vaping a go i found it hard at first but with time and
patience and your help choosing the right equipment that i believe is for me (from
your reviews the vamo v5 and kanger protanks)im now a full time vaper and love it.
So there it is i thank you from.the bottom of my heart best wishes from over the
water Terry.
ATTENTION: EMAIL ISSUES
UPDATE:
The issue has been resolved. I’ve gone back in time and I’m re-sending all of the emails I believe were effected.
If you receive a duplicate from me… sorry, there is no way to tell which were effected.
If you’ve send me an email and don’t receive a response by the end of the day… sorry! Please resend!
————————
Please note that I’m having email issues with the pbusardo@tasteyourjuice.com address.
It appears I’m getting yours, but your not getting mine.
I have no idea how far this issue goes back, but I’m sure HUNDREDS of emails have been lost along with HOURS of work. Cranky Phil in full effect.
I’m working with BLUEHOST to get the issue resolved and see if there’s a way to re-send all the affected emails.
This affects OUTGOING emails ONLY so no worries on the contests.
I’m NOT ignoring you!!!
