This is some terrific information that all vapers should be armed with.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!

Some excellent work done here by John Madden in gathering all this information.

See the list HERE.

Hey Phil, just found your site and wanted to say thank you! I’ve been
watching your videos for some time now on YouTube and finally decided to grab an ego
twist and an EVOD after watching. That was four months ago yesterday. Nobody else on
the web seems to give as complete and honest reviews as you do. What you do and how
you do it stuck with me, so I followed you. If I hadn’t, I’d probably still be
smoking cigarettes. As it stands, I will never go back and owe that in part to how
much help you provided my decision making. Thank you so much for what you do!

The review of the Titanium Wizard Evolved is coming soon, but there is also a new version of this piece coming soon!  It’s the Wizard Evolved in stainless steel.

Although I can’t mention the price or the release date I can tell you that it will cost less than the Titanium version.

These are some high end pieces with some equally high end price tags.  They’re available from Mark Bugs.

Dear Phil/pete/lou/grand-wizard-of-vaping

I wanted to drop you an email to say how much i’ve enjoyed watching your video’s.
I’m still working my way through your back-catalogue, but overall i think you strike
a great balance in covering things that will interest new and old vapers alike (i’m
firmly in the new camp having started with an mvp2 / aspire bdc and protanks), but
i still enjoy seeing things to drool over for the future

I used to be a fairly heavy smoker, going through 40-60 a day. and believe it or not
i wasn’t particularly looking to quit beyond the general all-pervading sense of
“smokers guilt”, in general i was only really interested in e-cigs to avoid getting
the ever rancid smell of fags in my new house (despite my best intentions not
smoking inside didn’t last very long in my last place).

Your videos were particularly helpful, because aswell as being generally mystified
by the lingo, at first glance there didn’t appear to be must available in the budget
range that i’d set for myself that was above the cheap ego-twist starter kits, but
not enough for a shiny mod, and it was great to be able to go through and find
something with a bit more go in it than an ego starter-kit.

The part of the whole experience which astounded me was that by the 2nd day i’d
given myself quite an impressive case of vapers tongue (menthol, ry4 and gummy-blood
on the go ….nothing!), so i decided that perhaps it was time to take a break from
vapeing and go back to my fags. I lit one up and couldn’t believe just how AWFUL
and utterly unsatisfying it was. It was so bad that i threw it out, so i wanted to
thank you for officially ruining cigarettes for me, as i’ve now quit for a week by
default without missing them.

Please keep the videos coming,
all the best.

A PBusardo Review – A Heads Up on the Lambo 6 0

In this video we take a quick look at the new Lambo 6.0 and a potential issue with the device.

SmokTek (Not SmokTech)

The Post Review Follow-Up:
Smoktek is doing a write-up of their conversation with L-Rider regarding the potential issue. Look for it here soon.

• Batteries used for this test were 2 AW-IMR 18650, 2000mAh, 1 eFest 18650, 2000mAh, 1 Panasonic CGR 18650, 2250mAh.  All were fully charged.  You can even see in the video the voltage of the battery was showing 4.1V when the issue displayed itself.  The Panasonic took a little longer to display the issue, but it did eventually.  When the device displayed the issue, the same batteries were put into DNA-20 and other devices and fired the device without issue.

Hey Phil –

It’s long past time for me to say thanks so much for everything you do for the vape
community and everything you’ve done for me! I’d been a pack-a-day smoker for almost
20 years and have tried unsuccessfully to quit a number of times. I’d make it stick
for a week or three, maybe as many as six, but eventually turned back every time.
Years ago I picked up a 510 stick starter kit from somewhere but the batteries
sucked and the pre-filled cartos were pretty awful, and while I figured out how to
tear them apart and refill them with the then tough to find juice, the whole thing
was just too much of a pain so I dumped them. I tried the Blu stuff about a year ago
but it was more of the same. Then this spring I noticed some people wandering around
with what I now know are eGo/Stardust rigs and they seemed to be enjoying them, so I
decided to give it another shot. I turned to the interwebs and immediately felt
overwhelmed by everything that was out there. Then I found your site and your
getting started guides which really brought everything together for me and made me
feel like I was making informed decisions about how to get started and maximize my
chances for success. And success I’ve found! I picked up an eGo starter kit from a
local B&M, tossed the rest of my pack of Winstons, and jumped in head first.
Yesterday marked 4 months without a cigarette (take that, RJ Reynolds! Pack a day
this, suckers!), but even better, I’ve found something that I like way better than
smoking and picked up a new hobby in the process. I can’t imagine turning back to
cigarettes now! I’ve now become a bit of a vapor evangelist around work, the pool
hall, etc., and I always start with the same thing: Go to tasteyourjuice.com and let
Phil Busardo show you the way!

Keep up the great work! Now if you’ll excuse me, I have an eVic and Aspire BDC Mini
Nova filled with Mt. Baker’s Thug Juice calling to me! Yah, I’ve upgraded a bit. 🙂

Many many many thanks –
– Jeff

Hi Phil,
For starters, I want to thank you for all the time and great work you put into your
videos & site. It has helped me open my mind, learn, and most importantly stop
smoking. Im 23 years old, and I started smoking when I was 18. I smoked a pack a day
of Djarum Black clove cigarettes for 5 years. My family and my girlfriend hated it
cause I reeked of smoke. Not to mention the obvious dangers, and I slowly started to
realize what I was doing to myself. One day, I woke up and took a deep breath and it
hurt. I knew then that I had a problem, but I ignored it and carried on smoking. A
week after that I was hanging out with a friend of mine, and he showed me his PV and
he told me how much he loved it and that he quit smoking. And I figured if it worked
for him, maybe it can work for me. So I went to YouTube, and I found your videos and
your site. I found them full of information and entertaining to watch/read. Raising
my interest on the topic even more. I went online, and I ordered an ego kit with a
bottle of juice. While it was on its way I continued smoking, every morning was that
pain of the first breath. Once it got to my house, I loaded it up and I started
vaping and never looked back. That day I realized that I didn’t need cigarettes
anymore, that there was an alternative. That day my cigarettes for their way into
the trash. I later learned about variable voltage, the meaning of PG/VG, MODs,
cartos, and so much other stuff because of you. I upgraded my unit, and with all I
learned, it made my experience so much better! I don’t want to ramble, but I cant
emphasize enough how much you’ve helped me. All your videos just made it so much
easier to understand that I wasn’t alone in the fight, and that I was part of a huge
community of people who wanted to see change in their lives. So in closing, I’ve
been smoke free for a year now. And that first deep breath in the morning, is the
most refreshing thing in the world. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you Phil.
For everything you do and will continue to do. You are a great person, a fantastic
educator, and overall a funny guy. I hope one day I have the pleasure of meeting
you, vaping, and having a good conversation.
Thanks so much!
