Thought this was a cool story to share…

So I was working a vape meet in Memphis. I work the Smartvapes.com table. I
work while Alan takes pictures, videos and helps people. It was starting to
get later in the evening and a lady came by to get a dripping atomizer. My
phone just happened to lose it’s charge, so I couldn’t run credit cards
anymore. Told her I had to charge it and asked if she could wait. She did, and we
talked. She was a smoker, with lots of questions. A friend had brought her to
the meet. She stayed late to talk to me, and then we parted ways.

I contacted her later to ask if she had any questions that I could help
with. She said that her ego battery died AND her car wasn’t working. I arranged
to meet her after work with a new battery and a lift! We ended up at the local IHOP
with a few fellow vapers to help her. I drove her home, but got sick from
something I ate. She invited me in to sit and rest till I felt better.
I ended up sleeping the night away on her couch.
Next came a whirlwind of dates, romantic getaways, and trying to show the world
about our love for electronic cigarettes and each other. I proposed to her March
26th 2013. She said YES! I found all of this because of vaping.

I have met a wondrous amount of people from the vape meets, and talk to many
with problems or questions they may have. But I never thought I’d find the love of my life
at a vape meet!

Several people have notified me that the Sponsor Banner creation application is not working.  You’re right, it’s not.  I’m working with the company to resolve the issue.  In the meantime, I’ve put a work around in place to allow you to create a Sponsor Banner should you want to do so.

Under the list of Sponsors you’ll find this new section:

Just click it to get to the Sponsor Banner creation page.

As always, thank you for your continued support of TasteYourJuice.com!!

I have a rather lengthy conversation with Zen. We talk about the Zen devices, the Zenesis 2 System, issues at VaperCon, his arrogance :-), and some other stuff.

Zen also surprises me with an Zenesis MFA to GIVEAWAY in a contest!

Phil,
I am sure that you hear a ton of praise for all that you do and it is well
deserved. I did however feel compelled to write in and tell you that I would not
have been able to do this without some of your reviews. I am a mental patient with
a rather sever disorder. I also have 7, yes 7, beautiful daughters. Two with the
same mental disorder as me and one with Autism. I was a 2 1/2 PAD smoker and tried
more times than I care to count to stop. The funny thing is I also use to have a
sever dependency on cocaine and found that rather easy to just walk away from. My
question to you though is this. I have seen you and several others with the
provari and I will never even be able to think about purchasing one. My kids take
up the vast majority of the finance budget. You have tried many things on many
different price levels and have a better understanding than even the forums seem
to offer at times. They tend to all push most of the high end mods and things. I
do enjoy my AGA T and have to try and keep the coils in range of what my device
will push. I have an eGo twist at the moment. So is there anything with in a very
limited budget that you, THE MAN, could recommend. Any help at all would be great
and much appreciated. I am trying to find a better vaping experience as I want to
stay off the analogs. Thank you, Christopher

Hi Phil, Just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all you are doing
for the vaping community. Your reviews led me to start with ego twists and now I’ve
moved on to a Vamo. I don’t know if I would still be vaping without the knowledge
you provide in your videos. After five months of vaping while still smoking, the
Vamo seems to have finally done the trick. I’m off tobacco. Once again, when I was a
little confused about VW, I found your 2013 intro to ecig tech video that answered
all my questions. Thank you so much! I hope you realize how much you are helping
people with the work you do.

It’s been a big thing over in the EU the last couple of days in regards to the EU Tobacco Directive in which they want to ban ecigs, online sales, and nicotine containing products (Just like what is happening with the FDA). Forum members are complaining there is no singular place to find updates, no consumer voice that the EU or any government will listen to, and that we are scattered all over the place, some places never even knowing whats going on elsewhere.
So 3 social networking sites have been set up where everyone can share information about Vaping bans not just in the EU, but from around the world.

Please show your support for vapers and stand against impending bans by joining one or all 3 of these sites.

Phil,

I want to thank and encourage you in your good work. I found your reviews on
YouTube, and I enjoy them very much, and learn!

I was a 2-pack-a-day smoker since I was 13 (now 56). I started vaping last year,
but left it due to the hassle and not enough info. Hell, how do you ask the right
questions if you don’t know WHAT questions to ask?

Then I found a B&M store here in Jacksonville. My last analog cig was at 2:00pm
3/29/13 and I know that I will never go back. Your “About Me” page has a lot of me
in it (trying to find juice that tastes like real cigs).

Your vids have encouraged me to post my own first YT video…”Here’s The Thing”

I look forward to learning more from you. I know you do not know me, but I feel
that I know you, and if we ever met in real life, we would be friends!

Take Care,
Gary

Hi Phil, (Pete, Lou, Batman?)

First off thank you so much for all the work you put into your site and videos, it
has really made my vaping experience worlds better. This is pretty much my
intro post on ECF and wanted to share it with you. Your videos have really helped me
want to try all vaping has to offer.

I was a smoker for about 10 to 15 years if you count the once in awhile stuff I did
way too young. My main smokes were Winston red 100’s since that’s what my dad smoked
so my mother never knew it was “my” pack if I left it lying around. After the tax
increases I started to roll my own and did that for years. At my worst I was smoking
nearly 2 packs a day but on average it was a carton every 2 weeks. My mother who is
a cancer survivor (twice) always hated my father and I smoking and reminded me every
chance she got. Well I’m happy to say, I’ve been analog free since November 2012 and
have been vaping everyday since. I started with 12/18mg now down to the 4/6mg
(probably because my Vamo never leaves my hand).

How did I get into e-cigs? Well, back in late 2011 my son (7mo at the time) was
hospitalized with bronchiolitis which is a nasty respiratory infection. We spent
nearly a week in the hospital with him hooked up to oxygen, monitors and IVs galore.
I refused to leave his side and never even went outside for a smoke. He came out of
it just fine but it scared the crap out of me, nothing worse than waking up to
alarms from his breathing monitor and Dr. and nurses running in at 2am. I figured at
that point I hadn’t had a cig in a week so why not quit since I knew I should
anyway. Deep down I blamed myself for him getting sick even though I never smoked
anywhere near him or in my house.

My vaping adventure started shortly after I fell back into the analogs after
“quitting” for 6 months. That was the longest I had ever been away from nicotine. It
was late summer and I had to do some work on my Jeep and between being in the garage
(where I always smoked) and my stress level I just couldn’t fight the urge. On my
third trip back from the parts store I pick up a 6pack and a pack of my trusty
Winston red 100’s. That pack lasted me a week cause I really didn’t want to start
again but having them near by was just to easy to grab. A couple months later a
friend of mine came to visit and he had some brand x e-cig that he had been using
and really wanted me to give it a try. I will say before I knew better I was
convinced that e-cigs were an expensive gimick, but a week later I picked up a
Mistic kit at Wally world and haven’t looked back. It took about 3 weeks of using
e-cigs and analogs before I was totally analog free. The ball just kept rolling from
there, I ordered a V2 kit then a V4L OMG vv with a couple tanks. Then I was show
your VISION EGO CLEAROMIZER V3 (I THINK) LONG WICK video, laughed my head
off and got hooked to your site. Now it’s a hobby 6 tanks and growing to many
flavors to list and my trusty Vamo. A friend of mine at work and I are even going to
Vapebash next month. (Hope to be able to say hello I’m sure you’ll be very busy) I
got him on the Mistic’s during a work trip and he quickly got the mod bug too. We’re
slowly converting our smoking co workers and their significant others into vapers
(about 6 so far).

I have a HH357 on the way after watching your video about dripping. Many moons ago I
was a home theater/audio tech, and when you talked about the CD on the studio
speakers I had to get one. I remember getting a disc from my car and playing it on a
system I could never afford for myself and wow! Sure I’ll say the same about my
juice.

Sorry for the long story and thanks again keep up the good work you are a great
asset to the community!
