You have heard it before, and you will hear it again, but THANK YOU.
I had tried horrible tasting gas station e-cigs in the past, but they never did the
job. I would always use analogs at the same time.
One day in the smoking area at work I saw this guy put a pen in his mouth and then
blow out what looked like smoke. It Intrigued me so I asked him about it.

It was what I now know to be an EGO style battery and cartomizer.

I thought about that device the rest of the day and on the way home I saw a sign for
a vape shop and walked in.
The staff was helpful, I had no idea what to ask for, I just said “I want to try
these”.
Sampled flavors, different nicotine levels, and left with what I thought was a
decent starter set.
Well it failed soon(did not know I had to tip it to keep the coil wet) and I wasted
more money trying to figure it out on my own.
After watching videos from informative people like yourself I am now the owner of a
VV/VW mod and am enjoying an amazing vaping experience. Almost 3 weeks now without
an analog and I do not miss them a bit.
I was immediately able to stop a 40+ analog a day habit once I had a good setup.

Other advantages of vaping that I have discovered along the way.

1)I can vape in the house whereas I could never smoke in the house. My wife never smoked and it was always an argument when she smelled the cigarette smoke.
She doesn’t mind the smell now. She says it smells like a scented candle. She likes the smell of some liquids better than others, but she has never complained about them.
No more standing on the front porch in inclement weather just to get the nicotine.
2)I do not smell like an ashtray anymore.
3) Cost… Well I think that I will eventually start saving money. Discarding the cost of getting good equipment, the daily cost should be a fraction of what I was spending on analogs.
$6.00+ a pack for my 30 year hump back named analog, times two packs a day compared to 5-7ml of 18mg.
4)I can breathe easier. There may not be any scientific study that proves these are healthier than smoking, but I don’t need one. I don’t cough all the time any more and I do not get winded doing simple tasks.
5)Food is tasting different. Flavors are stronger.
6)I have a new hobby. DIY e-juice supplies are on the way!

Downsides.
1)My truck stinks to high heaven.
I have tried every imaginable air freshener I can get my hands on and it still smells like an ashtray. Hoping this will clean up in time.

Without folks like yourself, I would no doubt have given up and gone back to analogs.
Thank you.

P.S. I have also managed to convert 3 other people from analogs to vape. I carry several sealed alcohol wipes with me. After discussing vaping I sanitize the tip, hand it to them, and let them try it.
Each and every analog smoker that I have done this with, has ordered their own setup.

Phil, just wanted to tell you that at 55 years old and a smoker for 30
years. I have learned all about this great world of Vaping from you!! Your videos
are the great and its a real treat when a new one comes on!! Thanks you so much for
the time and effort you put into this. I just wanted you to know I appreciate all
you have taught me. Analog free for 3 months and never going back!!!

Looks like Kanger has a new head design for their EVOD, ProTank, ProTank 2, Mini ProTank, and UniTank.

These came directly from Kanger and I took a bunch of photos of the differences below.

I also looked closely this time to see if there were resistance/no resistance joins in the original heads.

Both heads appear to be using resistance/non-resistance wire and joins.  The differences that were noticed were the knurling on the post, a slight change in the body design, and what looks to be a different material being used for the plug.  I burnt up both plugs to see if one was more resistant to heat.  They didn’t appear to be, but the old plug gave out a horrible burnt rubber smell and the new one did not.  Hmmmm…

Note that the old or original head was used for a bit.

Sorry, I haven’t vaped them yet so I can’t speak to performance improvements.

Here are the photos for you…

A PBusardo Review – Smoktech Magneto

In this video we take a look at the Smoktech Magneto mechanical.

Post Review Follow-up::

• 10/4/13 – It was mentioned in the review that the N-Zonic is getting its airflow from the hole in the top cap.  WRONG!  It’s getting its air from the cuts on the top cap much the same was as the Magneto.  The hole appears to be for additional venting.

Phil,

I had the good fortune of meeting you at the ECC in Anaheim Ca. and wanted to say
thank you for what you do, and for the professional, and entertaining way in which
you do it.
I was a 40 year smoker. I’ve been analog free for over four weeks now and have no
desire to go back to cigarettes. With vaping, I don’t crave cigarettes, nor do I
miss all of the negative things both physical and psychological that go with being
a smoker. Most of all I no longer feel the guilt, that for me, went with smoking.
I enjoy vaping immensely. Within the first few days of making the switch to vaping,
I spent
a lot of time online learning what I could about this new venture. I came across
your website
“Taste Your Juice.com”, and have been a faithful follower ever since.
You Phil, have in no small part, been a huge help in my journey into vaping and
remaining smoke free. For this I say THANK YOU, and will give you a thumbs up and a
huge street shout out.
Remember Spock from Star Trek when he would do the vulcan V with his hand and say
“live long and prosper”. To you I give the vaping V and say “live longer and
prosper”.

Sincerely,
Lonnie

LEXI AND UNCLE PHIL TIME!! BE BACK SOON!
