Dear Phil,
Hello from the West of Ireland. Portumna, on the River Shannon, to be
exact. I’m a Californian who got side-tracked while on holidays in 1985
and have been here ever since.Just wanted to say I love “From the Chair.” I have my son, age 26, who
got me into vaping to talk to (when he’s around) but as I’m the only vaper
in my circle of friends, I haven’t anyone to rant and rave at about the
stupid money grabbing governments who would rather see us die than miss
out on one penny of tax they might be able to squeeze out of the consumer
(your Session 2 – the FDA).Over here in Ireland cigs are currently running over €10 a pack and going
up again in December. Our government has carefully done their figures
though, and found that even with the cost to the taxpayer and government
(we have socialised medicine here) they actually make money on the smoker
(in spite of the cancer and heart disease rates) because the tax on
cigarettes more than covers smokers’ medical costs). In fact, we rarely
see any stop smoking commercials on the government run stations. All
stations but one are government run in Ireland.Yet, the European governments are against vaping because it MIGHT damage
our health. I think it’s more likely they just haven’t figured out how to
get their finger in the pie when it comes to taxing us for vaping. And one
more thing … If the government is so concerned about our health and the
dangers of vaping, why can I still buy a pack of cigarettes anywhere in
Europe, when it is PROVEN they will kill us. The hypocritical bastards
can’t even spot the holes in their own greedy logic !!!Anyway, keep up your wonderful work. I would have been lost without you
when I first started vaping. And keep on ranting from the chair at night.
It’s nice to know I’m not the only one who periodically loses sleep for
lack of someone to rave at in the wee hours!Kind Regards

THE KAYFUN LITE AND THE RUSSIAN 91%
A PBusardo Review- Kayfun Lite & The Russian 91%
In this video we take a look at the Kayfun Lite and the Russian 91%. Simply outstanding atomizers. We also do a micro-coil/cotton build in the Russian. I already put one in the Kayfun! 🙂
The Links:
(Russia)Kayfun Lite – Svoemesto
(US)Kayfun Lite – VaperRev
Russian 91% – EZig-Online
The Post Review Follow-Up:
10/28/13 – The price quoted in the review was the price in Russia when ordering directly from the SvoeMesto website. In the US, we need to order from the distributor which is VapeRev. There the price is $110.00.
12/16/13 – I noticed after the review that both the Kayfun Lite and the Russian 91% leak slightly through the fill hole screws on the bottom. It’s not a lot, but liquid does manage to find it’s way out. This has been resolved on the Kayfun Lite+ with the inclusion of a deeper set screw and an o-ring.

THE AGR+ CARTO TANK
A PBusardo Review – The AGR+ Tank
In this video we talk about the AGR+ carto tank and how it can be improved.
Turns out that the carto is not only getting it’s air from the slots in the locking ring, but also through the locking ring at the device’s 510 connection as well. If you unscrew the tank from the ring, airflow is restored. If you unscrew the entire tank including the locking ring, airflow is again restored.
IMHO, they need to seal the locking ring and allow for proper airflow through the air channels to the carto.

From Hiro
Phil,
Thank you for taking time to help me understand this (new to me ) vaping
thing. I am 46yrs old and have been smoking since High School. I have
never found anything that helped me stop smoking on my own like the vapor pens
have. Something you said made me laugh, Ive never thought of how thick of
a cloud I was getting from my analog cigs. I also never thought , “Yummy”
from smoking analogs either. Your reviews and blogs and your opinions are
one of the best on the internet. Thanks for so much time to educate me and
many others on this. I also think that people like yourself, grimmgreen,
etc on the web is a very important part of quitting. There are no
interesting videos, blogs and information and an actual community about
nicotine patches and lozenges, this feeling of social support and
community has a big part in my success with the vapor-ecigs.
I just wanted to thank you.
Hiro
From Joe
I don’t have any questions or suggestions……yet. I just wanted
to write to say thank you. I was suffering from the adverse effects of
20yrs of smoking when I decided to quit fuckin’ around with “stop smoking
aids” that did nothing but aid in separating me from my money. I am now 32
and have been vaping for about a year now and was muddling through the
vast amount of info, devices and juices before a dear friend and fellow
vapor turned me on to your and GrimmGreen’s YouTube channels. I now have a
solid grasp of the terminology, the math and, more importantly, have
completely kicked tobacco! It is because of people like you, Nick and
Amber that people like me are able to succeed and not feel overwhelmed by
the ever growing vaping world. So, again, THANK YOU and keep up the good
fight and work that you do.
-Joe
From Anthony
Phil – I want to sincerely thank you for all of your great videos and
website info. I am brand new to vaping, after having been a pack-a-day cigarette
smoker for more than 18 years. I just started vaping about 3 weeks ago. I started
with the Halo G6 cigg-a-like system and their Halo fluids. I quickly found myself
craving something more satisfying all around really: in terms of taste, volume of
vapor, battery life/juice capacity before recharge and refill, etc.I then came upon your YouTube channel and wish that I had found it a week or two and
$100+ sooner before investing so much in Halo stuff. I have since ordered and
received my Innokin iTaste VTR and I am definitely “tasting it, and loving it!” (Hey
Now!) along with a 30ml bottle of Boba’s Bounty from Alien Visions.The 100% VG nature of Boba’s Bounty I think is what I needed more than anything
immediately. I have read more about PG sensitivity and think I was definitely
experiencing loss of taste when eating and even vaping the Halo e-liquids, though
Halo won’t disclose their PG/VG content or blend ratio as they deem it to be
proprietary and vital to their success.I really want to thank you for all of your assistance in helping newbies like myself
learn so much from you – someone with considerably wider experience over a longer
period of time. In one of your recent videos you had commented how fortunate people
coming into the world of vaping at this point in time are to have great, quality
equipment and more options compared to what existed only a couple of years ago. I
really think you deserve your fair share of credit, as well, for being a steward of
best practices/tips and a resource of comprehensive review information for newbies
like myself.Best Regards
Anthony
From Keith
Hello Phil,
Don’t want to take up too much of your time, just wanted to thank you for the
incredibly insightful reviews. I am a 25 year old Michigander and until 45 days
ago was a 2 pack a day smoker since i was 17. I first began smoking at 14. I
tried to quit several times on my own, but was never even kind of successful. I
had heard of vaping and had tried a disposable once or twice but was never
impressed. I recently tried a no name (Puff?) ce4 on an ego battery from Wild
Bill Tobacco and was able to successfully cut down to 7-10 cigarettes a day. I
found your site in a search for better eliquid (all bill carries is lava brand.
Meh.) I soon discovered Kalamazoo Vapor Shop (Grand Rapids location is 20 minutes
from me) and bought an Ego twist and a Kanger protank 2. I have been cigarette
free ever since. I now own a Vamo v5, an Ehpro Ea mod, a KPT2 mini, and an aspire
Bdc ego (good vape, but i can taste plastic from the tank, when i can find glass
I will definitely try again.)
I wanted to thank you personally because without these reviews I would have probably
never invested in a better set up, and would still be smoking (albeit less with the
Wild Bills stuff) I look forward to watching more of your reviews in the future and
just wanted you to know about the impact you had on my ability to drop analogs
entirely.Thank you so much for your time and effort!
-Keith
