Phil…Today is my one month anniversary of switching to electronic
devices!!! I was a smoker for 31 years…yes 31 freaking years and nothing worked to
get me off of them. I tried a e cig a couple years back but of course it was one of
those cheap ones and i thought…pffft, these things are just a gimmick. I was just
messing around on youtube and ran across Amanda of The Vape Team videos which lead
me to their show and then to your videos and your site! I didn’t know a thing about
all of this stuff and it REALLY helped me understand where to start, what to buy and
it changed my life…even though i didn’t like it i had accepted that i would keep
smoking until i died..which would most likely be far earlier than it should be.On March 18 i went to my first e cigarette store…i had seen them but why would i
bother after my first experience?…they sat me down and helped me get a device that
would match my smoking habits. It was a Ego Tank starter set and was affordable for
me to try it out and if it didn’t work like you and the Team had posted i wasn’t out
much…I have only had 1 cigarette since because late one evening i ran out of
juice…and man it was nasty!!! I couldn’t believe i actually thought i liked these
things for so many years! I was at the store the first thing in the morning and
waiting at their door for them to open! LOL I then went on to a Vamo and a Itaste
MVP and some carto tanks. After watching allot of your videos i have now went on to
the Genesis atomizers and a Mechanical Mod…the RSST and the Electronic Angel which
i love!!! I had the same epiphany you had! It is such a huge difference it
performance. Hopefully i wont turn into a Mod junkie like you and Demitris…Hah!!!I just wanted to share my story with you because if i hadn’t ran onto your videos
which are really great and informative…i wouldn’t have made the switch…How can i
fully express my gratitude to someone who has changed my life? I have a 17 year old
son and “surprise” 8 year old twin girls and now i will be able to be a part of
their lives for so much longer.So how i express my feelings? All i can say is this…I hope by sharing my story
that you understand just how much you are truly helping other people change their
lives through your passion….and in this world…what could be more fulfilling?Lance
MEET “GEORGE” FROM INNOKIN
George is the Deputy General Manager (think VP) of Innokin. He was here in the states on a business/pleasure trip. I had the opportunity to talk to him at the House Of Vapor with Andre.
We’ve come to know Innokin as a company who truly listens to the community as well as the reviewers and uses that information to improve upon and produce some high quality products.
George speaks very good English and has an excellent sense of humor, which is pretty important when dealing with me! 🙂 He knows a great deal about the e-cig industry, the Innokin product offerings, and upcoming products from the company. He’s always looking for ideas and ways to improve and expand their product line.
We discussed some of their new and upcoming products. What can we look forward to from Innokin in the upcoming months?
- Improved iTaste with a larger battery and a Micro USB charge port.
- Improved iClear 30 with a glass tank and stainless cover (see photos for prototype).
- Improved AIO PCC with flip top lid (see photos for prototype).
- New VV/VW Box mod which utilizes a removable 18650 battery, rotational thumb wheels for adjustments, and built-in iClear30 tank storage (tank goes in the body)
- Improved MVP with VV/VW and ohm meter features.
It was very nice to meet George and his wife Cindy. I look forward to what’s next from Innokin!

Hi Phil,
I just wanted to say thanks. I will be smoke free for 3 months this week, and I owe
a lot of my success to you. I was very hesitant to try carto tanks, you walked me
thru that and I have been using them for 2 months now. I am so much happier with
them over clearomizers. Recently I have started trying to get the hang of genesis
style atomizers. I got my first wick and coil going tonight on my DID clone thanks
to you, and I am really enjoying it.Anyways, thanks so much for your reviews and tutorials. You and ECF are where I
point people that are trying to make the switch to vaping.Thanks,
Megan
DR K. FARSALINOS HAS A NEW SITE!
From Dr. Farsalinos,
Hello Phil.
This new site has been launched in order to present every scientific study performed on electronic cigarettes in an simplified and easy to understand language. It will include commentaries by me and other members of the research team. Our only purpose is to provide unbiased and useful information for every smoker, so that he makes the decision whether to use an e-cigarette or not based on real facts and data.
Additionally, we have launched our internet survey on electronic cigarette use. This will be (we hope) the biggest study ever performed on electronic cigarettes and will have significant impact on public health authorities when published in medical journals. We therefore invite every vaper to participate and tell us his sttory through this questionnaire.Thank you so much!
Dr K. Farsalinos
No Dr Farsalinos, THANK YOU for all you do for the vaping community! Your support and information is greatly appreciated!
When you have some time, be sure to take the survey!!

Phil,
I just wanted to thank you for the great information you provide in your blog. I’ve only been vaping and off the cancer sticks for for just over 2 weeks, and I have found your site invaluable.
Within 2 weeks I’ve escalated from a Blu starter kit, (not a great product, but got me off the smokes), a Joye 510 starter kit with PCC, and now a Joye eGo-C Twist.
After smoking a pack a day for 27 years, I have no urge to go back to smoking.
There’s just so much information out there, it gets overwhelming for a noob like myself. I wish I had found your site sooner.Keep up the good work.
Thanks,
Steve
From Jason
Thanks for all you do. I have recently quit smoking 52 days off the
analogs. A big reason for me has been the access to your and others reviews and
unadulterated opinions. I should say a big reason would be for my health and my
pocketbook like I believe all of us have started off. Did not take long to move
through carto’s, atty’s, and genni’s, but I am sure glad I did. Needless to say,
“This is exactly what I have been looking for for 17 years.” I knew it after the
first puff on a crappy gas station ecig. Thanks again brother, keep it up!Your friend in Vaping,
