Just wanted to say thank you for all your videos. I am brand new at vaping. I have been smoking for 26 years over a pack of Marlborough reds a day. Its been one week of vaping and no cigarettes. Being new to vaping I really enjoyed watching your videos. I have learned so much from you. Thanks again

Phil, just wanted to say thank you for all the work you put into this
hobby. I had a heart attack on sept 10 this year and was smoking a pack of cigs a
day at that time, since that day i have stopped with the reg cigs and am now using a
vamo v3 with a protank II. alot is due to watching many many videos you have
posted. your reviews were very helpful and for a beginner who knew nothing at all
about vaping i would like to just say thank you from the bottom of my heart for
helping me stop smoking. Your passion and humor really has gotten to me and has
really got me into the vaping scene. Hopefully after i learn more about all this
community has i will be able to get into using items like the 134, vtr with maybe a
russian on top.

Again thank you for all that you do.

By popular demand, I’ve added a list of all liquids that received “Street Shout Out”. You’ll see it over to the right under the Information section.

Many thanks to Lynn and Bud for searching through my videos and compiling this for me. If I’ve missed any, please let me know.

In the ECC Pt. 2 video, we talked to the folks from Five Pawns and we tried their Castle Long Reserve. It didn’t get a “Street Shout Out” because the Throat Hit (TH) was a little weak. Problem is, I’ve been vaping it. A lot. Like a real lot. Finally last night I put it in my Russian (you know, the one with the new micro coil) and I got a very satisfying throat hit off of it.

I REALLY like this liquid so it officially get’s a “Street Shout Out” and has been added to the list.

A little pricey for me to vape all the time, but I’ll be buying more for special occasions and just when I want to indulge myself a little bit.

I may have to think about adding this to My Favorite E-Liquid list as well.

Really nice juice guys. I look forward to trying the rest of your line (after I get through the current queue 🙂 )

Hi Pbusardo! (Phil) I just wanted to take the time and say thank you for
your great reviews. Your videos are really the ones I personally look for when in
search of the newest gadget. My wife and I started vaping back in 2009 when Totally
Wicked and Dlight were the only ones that seemed to hold promise. I would go on and
off for the next couple of years but with having a almost 2 year old son I knew it
was time for me to return so I can be here a little while longer. I bought a
Indulgence 18650 and liked for a month then got burned out. So my wife told me to
check out this guy who does these hilarious reviews on YouTube and go figure it was
you. And low and behold your reviews along with ridiculous amount of research set me
on my path. Currently own a SID and a MVP V1 with a EVOD and a Bulldog RDA. Carto
Tanks are my guilty pleasure as well so a Phiniac is on my wish list. Without your
thorough reviews I know I would still be on analogs for sure. Love the no short cuts
on all the devices and atty’s, you really do take the time to really torture test
these products. Being a Store Manager in retail I constantly vape so I do my part to
do my own tests for family, friends and beginners. Thank You for all the laughs and
knowledge that you have delivered for all eyes and ears and hope to see MANY more
reviews and new Dimitri models in the future. Best wishes!

And I’m thinking Star Trek II not the new movie!

So the answer is YES! I’ll see you at VaperCon East. More details coming soon!

I received an email from Fr. Jack Kearney recently, following the ECC event. It wound up being a pretty funny conversation and I asked him if I could share it. He agreed!

The good news is… I now have special dispensation from the church and can continue on with the reviews with my “tongue-in-cheek” humor :-)…

Fr. Jack…

Comment: Hi Phil,

My only regret about the ECC was not being patient enough to wait in
line to shake your hand. I just want to thank you for your incredible
contributions to the vaping world. Your humor and passion touch (and
save!) more lives than you will ever know. None of us can thank you
enough. Please keep up the good work, and I will keep you in my
prayers. (I am, after all, a highly trained professional in the area).
No response necessary…just wanted to say thanks…and will meet you
in person for sure next year.

Fr. Jack

Me…

FATHER!!!! You were there? OMG – How did I not know that or see you!
I would have made the time for you!

Although I’m quite sure we’ll cross paths again in the future, I’d like
to THANK YOU for your very kind words. They mean the WORLD to me!

Now if you would please throw another blessing my way and perhaps some
advanced forgiveness for all of the “tongue in cheek” humor in my videos
yet to come, I would certainly appreciate it! 🙂

Fr. Jack…

Okay, Phil….if you can keep up the humor level of the outtakes from the
Legal Vape 4000 you can have a “general absolution” & “plenary indulgence”
for one year. (offer expires 10/4/2014 at midnight) For your penance you
have to make sure Innokin fixes the fire button and the micro usb port on
the MVP.

See you next year!

Fr. Jack

Me…

Wow, Father I so appreciate your sense of humor. You could probably get a lot more people to church with that!

With your permission, I’d like to post our little conversation on TYJ. I think people will get a kick out of it and appreciate it!

I will thank you again for the support. I’m truly grateful that people get information, strength, and humor from my videos!

I look forward to shaking your hand in person at some point.

-PBusardo

Fr. Jack…

Hi Phil,

Yes, as you demonstrate so well, humor is important. People get mad at me now if I don’t tell at least one joke during my sermons. Remind me to tell you about the man who hated Italians. (ahem)

Feel free to quote me at any time, or even make fun of me on my youtube videos. You can even give me a “I told you so” on the MVP button; you were right!

With all your power and influence I hope you can convince Innokin (or anyone else) to make a commercial (i.e. affordable) VW box mod that has a micro usb connection, but also with replaceable 18650 batteries.

Dimitris blessed me with a hug instead of a handshake, so I hope you will do the same when we meet…..

Fr. Jack

Me…

You mean that Greek (expletives left out in current company) knew you were there and didn’t even tell me?

That’s going to put a serious strain on our relationship!

Ok then, a HUG it is!

Thank you Father!

Thanks for the conversation! I’ll see what I can do with Innokin. Hopefully I’ll be able to get an extension on 10/4/2014 at midnite.

I’m glad Dimitris blessed him with a hug.  Also glad I never told him the things Dimitris blessed me with.  HA!

This is a good man, with a great sense of humor, to have on our side (in more ways than one! 🙂 ).

Be sure to check out Fr. Jack’s YouTube channel HERE!

Oh, and finally, I DO need to hear the one about the man who hated Italians (ahem)!  🙂

A triumph for vapers, smokers and (most importantly) common sense: the European Parliament rejected the medicinal regulation for e-cigarettes

Now perhaps we can get some good news here too… as soon as the bickering children we call OUR government gets over it’s current little hissy fit and learns to play nice in the sandbox together.

Phil , i just watched your ECC videos and the guy at the end of video 1 , i
think it was that said it was you who helped him put his analogs down . That is
close to my story also . I started smoking at age 14 , i am now 42 .

I have been
vaping in public places like restaurants , movie theaters , malls and the like for
just over 3 years now . BUT , i watched your Vamo review in late March , ordered one
from VaporBreak.com in china and once it arrived sometime in mid April . I have LIT
only 2 analogs in the first few days after it arrived . I also use 30 – 36 mg juice
. I have used MadVapes.com since I started modding and tried some watermelon flavor
they had and some sort of DCT system . LONG story short , got the right mod , the
right nicotine content AND a flavor that i really liked , I PUT ANALOGS DOWN .

Thank you so much for your videos , your time , and ALL the effort into what you do
for people like myself . You have done more for me and my health with all the GOOD
info you put on your website and on YouTube .

I was using regular eGo’s and 3.7v AA
battery box mods and standard cartos / attys . But , i tell you what , the price on
vaporbreaks site for the Vamo , and your review , i got a setup that i could
actually afford , the kit was 37 bucks or so for the Stainless model , 2- 18350’s
and a charger plus shipping , wound up spending right at 100 bucks shipping included
for all kinds of goodies on my first order with them . I know i sound like i am
promoting them to you , i dont intend on that , but i do in a way . Living in
Knoxville Tennessee , there arent that many B&M’s in the area , and the tobacco
shops that do sell e-cig items are really overpriced . BUT back to my story , Phil ,
i havent smoked a single analog since i got a setup that allowed me to personalize
the vapor , when you use 2.5 ohm cartos on an eGo , it isnt powerful enough to
produce the TH or flavor that cranking the power up to is like at vaping at 8watts
or so . I can drop on ANY DCT , carto , ViVi Nova .. whatever i have , and vape away
enjoyably . I am now using some of my OLD cartos and attys just to get rid of them .
I love the ViVi also and all your videos on it too . I now have 2 Vamo v2’s 3 sets
of batteries and SEVERAL tank systems 2 different RDA’s .
I know i am rambling a bit , but all in all , Thanks Phil . I really appreciate the
help you have given me to put down analogs hopefully for good .

I mostly mix my own liquids too try to get 48 – 60 mg base in PG and mix down with
VG and off the shelf food flavorings from the grocery stores / walmart . I know you
dont advertise that you do any mixing yourself , i am sure you get a pot of
promotional liquids for a really good price / free , but if you do mix your own ,
there is a little bit of pride in knowing you made the flavor you like and you also
know whats in your liquids too that way .
Phil , i could ramble all day , i think i hit the high spots . Would also like to
just sit and talk to you about vaping , i am sure we could talk for MANY hours
about something we are both passionate about .
Thank You , Thank You , Thank You …… I cant say it enough ,

I was smoking anywhere from
3/4 pack to 1 1/2 packs a day of HANDROLLED / injected with pipe tobacco . I was
using a Top-O-Matic injector with pre-filtered tubes . not sure if you are familiar
with that . But , was getting almost twice the nicotine , and probably twice as much
tar with that as from a pack a pack of cowboy killer reds .
I was smoking them for the past 8 years or so , just after the first BAD sin tax
hike .

I actually over the years tried MANY different stop smoking aids , Zyban , nicotrol
inhalers , Patches , Gum , Lozenges , and even Chantex . So smoking was something i
was going to do till it eventually killed me , and thanks to your reviews and
informational website i was able to get an Advanced Personal Vaporizer setup that
quelled my need of traditional tobacco intake . The nearest think in the past that
actually helped was the nicotrol inhaler , i guess it was like sucking on a sponge
impregnated with nicotine through a cigar sized plastic ‘pipe’ . I was a little bit
larger than your pinkie finger in length and probably just a touch larger in
diameter , but the cost of those were outrageous .

Well , think i got the gist of my previous smoking habits . Wish i would have
remembered that yesterday when i wrote you . Thank You Phil . You really dont
realize how many people you actually help , i am sure now where as many people you
help actually write to you and let you know what YOU have done to help them . It
really means so much to me the time and effort you really put into your videos and
information you post . You do more good than ECF does on their forums . Honestly .
Thanks again , and again , and again .
