Hi Phil,
I am writing you to say that i really enjoy your reviews and I found them very
informative. I started out with logic ecigs, then moved to the halo system which I
still use and now I bought the Sigelli Zmax V5. I went with the Sigelli because of
your review of V3. I am now 2 years analog free and I feel great and I love vaping.Anyway just wanted to say keep up the great reviews.
Vape on!

If you ever said to anyone “If I can make a difference in one life….”,
then you can say it with confidence because you made a huge difference in mine.I was smoking for 45 years (1.5 paks a day). When on a whim, I picked up a Blu.
Hated it! I knew there had to be more. Then I found your videos and ran to a vape
shop.Haven’t touched a cigarette since. Now, I’ve got a Genesis RBA coming and looking
forward to building my own coil.Thank you Phil (hope I can call you that), You are surely making a difference in the
world around you.Regards,
Dorian
A “FIRESIDE” CHAT WITH ZEN
A PBusardo Video – A Fireside Chat With Zen
WARNING – THESE TWO VIDEOS ARE LONG!!
In this two part video I have a “Fireside” chat with Zen from the House Of Hybrids. We talk about vaping, his new ZNA, the DNA-30, and Zen-Coating among other things.
We take a look at his new lounge and the upcoming ZFO or Zen Factory Outlet.
We also get a behind the scenes look at his assembly area (quick) and prototyping/manufacturing facility (longer), which is contained in part 2.
I didn’t do a lot of editing here as I wanted to give you an idea of the man & mind behind the product which continues to impress me.
I’m very appreciative he allowed me this look and I’m thrilled to bring it to you. Love him or not, I hope you find it interesting and enjoy the conversation and look at the facility.
I hope you enjoy it!

DC VAPEFEST IS COMING!
Unfortunately I’m not going to be able to attend this one, but you should! 🙂
Click the logo to get all the information!
… and just a quick comment, because I heard something over ECC that bothered me a bit. I don’t want anyone to EVER think I choose the events I attend based on any personal bias or drama in the community. Believe me, I don’t care about the drama and who doesn’t get along with who. I care about you, the vaper. You are the reason I do the things I do and I’m very appreciative for you.
Folks, if it were up to me, I’d attend EVERY event both big and small. I enjoy all of them and I love to meet people (although I can’t remember names to save my life). However… family, work, schedules, time, and money all get in the way. So until I win the Lotto, can quit my job, and can afford this (quick someone Photoshop a private jet with my logo on the side of it so I can post it here)…
THANKS TOM!!!
I simply can’t attend them all, but I do the best I can.
From “Papa John”
My story is quite similar to all of my age group which is 68+.
I started in 1960 at 15 in high school to be cool, but was not an everyday smoker until being invited to join the Army in April 1969. It was basic training and the DI said take a smoke break. I didn’t smoke so I was standing with the smokers under a tree when the DI noticed I others were not smoking. He asked how many were not smokers, several of us raised our hands. He informed us that we were instructed to take a smoke break, so we non-smokers got to rake the parking lot while the smokers took a break. The next time he said take a smoke break, I bummed a cigarette and the rest is history. In those days we got free cigarettes from Tobacco companies, the USO and they had a five pack in the C-Rations too. I was finally able to quit tobacco on 2 June 2011, after several attempts at quitting (The gum didn’t work and the patch worked for a short time, twice. The third time is was a complete bust. I even tried hypnosis, no long term success until e-cigs.) because of two things; My wife asked me to do it for her and e-cigs.
I started at 24mg nic, then 18, then 12. 12mg is where I am and some 6. Depends on the device I use.
I don’t even desire a cigarette, and now to tell the truth, they stink, especially on a damp or rainy day. I wish we had more politicians/celebrities that gave up tobacco for e-cigs. Then we could have a better chance of stopping the stupidity of limiting/banning/taxing e-cigs.
As always, enjoy life.
The best to you and yours.
Papa John
From Paul
I just want to say I appreciate and enjoy your youtube videos!
I am about two months into vaping and your videos help keep the reigns in while
exciting me about the products end experiences available “through my journey”.
Thanks!
A NEW PAGE! REBUILDING
I get a great many questions about rebuilding devices so I create a new REBUILDING page…
Many people ask me questions about rebuilding, so I thought I’d create this page. There’s not a lot of new information here, but I tried to pull information from other sections to this one in order to give you a “one-stop-shop” where you can get your questions answered.
Building takes time, patience, and practice when first getting started. You are working with tiny coils and tiny places where you mount those coils. If you mess up… DON’T SWEAT IT! Just try it again. It get’s easier with time and practice.
Friendly disclaimer… improper builds could leads to shorts or over tasking your battery. This could lead to a battery failure. Battery failure could lead to property or personal damage. Is it likely to happen? NO (with care). Could it happen. YES. So be safe, understand what you’re doing, and do any build or use any electronic cigarette product at your own risk.
Hope it helps!
This was put together rather quickly, so feel free to contact me if you’d like to see any additional information, or if you have corrections to the page.
You can access it from the INFORMATION section in the left sidebar.
Like I said above… HOPE IT HELPS!

Phil,
I understand that you are probably really busy, so I am going to keep this short. I
just wanted to say thank you for your help in my journey. You do an incredible job
of making, what can be an overwhelming learning process, more accessible while still
giving a ton of detailed info that I appreciate as I have gotten more comfortable,
and your sense of humor makes it even better. As a guy that did a short stint of
Cigar reviews on a web site I had, I know the amount of work and dedication that
goes into this. It is GREATLY appreciated. Keep up the good work. If you are ever
anywhere near STL, look me up. I owe you a beer.Jason
