Comment: Good evening. Just wanted to say I enjoy the reviews and the
solid info you spend so much of your time helping all of us with. Lou
Ritter hounded me for a couple years to try vaping and drop the analogs. I
wish I had done so much sooner then I did but they are gone. I can safely
say that I go to your reviews and only Lou for true unbiased information
and neither of you have steered me wrong. I have become the middle man to
many of my co workers on vaping and the reviews that you post and the
information that you provide is priceless. So Thank you sir! Keep up the
awesome work… Do you ever make it out to Arizona/Cali area for vape meets
or such? I have talked to Lou about putting something semi Local in place.
We live in Sedona Arizona 1/2 way between Flagstaff and Phoenix. Vaping is
starting to take a hold here and its rather exciting. Thanks for your
time.
MORE PETITIONS AND CALLS TO ACTION
CASAA has posted several calls to action regarding the proposed bans and taxation of ecigs. Please see what you can do to help HERE!
Also, there is another petition going on in France. Sounds to me like they’re not happy with a proposed study that will be performed by the government. See it and sign it here.
You know how I feel about this stuff. Frustrating as HELL! Let’s just continue to do what we can.
If you want to get more involved in this fight, I’m certain that the folks at CASAA can guide you far better than I. Please contact them!

Hello Phil,
I apologize if using your first name seems a bit straight forward, but I have
watched your videos enough that I know that its not Pete. I smoked for about 10
years of my life and despite trying to quit numerous times it just did not work out
the way that I had wanted it to.I was introduced to vaping at a mall kiosk a couple
years ago and thought the idea of ecigs was great, but at that time i just did not
have the ability to invest in it .I came across your videos last year on YouTube, along with on other gentlemen and
between you and the other reviewer, you have both been a tremendous help in guiding
someone like me into vaping, and helping my finally find something that I know can
help me kick the habit that’s been with me for so long now. I recently went through
somethings that have pushed me back to tobacco for I’m hoping a short time, but once
I can get those things straightened out I hope to be back to vaping full time for the
rest of the foreseeable future.I don’t want to take too much of your time, so basically all that I wanted to say is
thank you, its just some simple words, but when I say it, i honestly mean it in a
situation like this. Your a fantastic resource for someone like me who has not been
vaping for as long as I wish I had been able to, and with all of the things popping
up out there its amazing to have a review out there like you who is always honest
about their experience with a product. Dimitri said it best in one of your most
recent videos when he said that your an asset to the community, and I don’t think
that can be overstated.Thank you for putting all that hard work into making your videos, and keeping people
like me informed, entertained, and just doing what you do because its helped me out
a great deal. Once I can get back to vaping I reviews like yours are in my opinion
the best way to help people newer to this make informed, educated choices.Thanks allot my friend.

Dear PBusardo (I’d say Phil, but it somehow doesn’t seem right, lol),
I’m sure you receive such emails all the time, but I’m not in the habit of writing them, so bear with me. To put it short, I wanted to thank you for the effort and care you put into your reviews of vaping products and for your contribution to the vaping community.
From being a 20 a day smoker for 25 years, and trying to quit a number of times, I started vaping on December 30 2012 after buying a cheap ego manual battery, some generic juice and some knock-off clearomizers (mainly because I’d received some bad advice and didn’t know any better). Despite an inauspicious start, I then found your videos, read up lots on your site and ECF, and was both entertained and informed by your thorough, careful reviews. Two months on, I have stayed analog free, and have upgraded to a Vamo, and a carto tank set-up using Boge LR SC cartos, and a great pyrex tank from a Scottish vendor called alba-vapours. I was watching your Fluid Flask video (to use it for directions) when I set the tank up for the first time – what an awesome resource hidden amongst the commentary.
I might well have gone back to analogs if it wasn’t for the helpful and informative vids you do, which explained to me why I was having issues, and pointed me in the direction of kit I could be using to improve the vaping experience and stay analog free. So a very big thank you!
Please keep up the good work – I’ve already directed a friend to your vids, and I’ll certainly be pointing any other would-be vapers in the direction of tasteyourjuice.com in the future.
Sincerely,
Jim
THE NEW KICKABLE AND “CROWNABLE”? JAZZ CARTO PIPES
A PBusardo Review & Contest – New Jazz Carto Pipes and THE CROWN!
The CROWN… is it a Kick on steroids? Have a look and decide for yourself.
The Post Review Follow-up:
- 3/4/13 – I noticed (and forgot to mention in the review) that, although I didn’t see a heartbeat from the Crown, it will drain your battery when not in use. This is something that the manufacturer has acknoloedged and is addressing. It will not, however, drain the battery beyond 3V.
- 3/5/13 – The battery cover popping up slightly can be alleviated by tightening the nut under the switch. Sorry, should have realized this!

Hey Phil,
Feels odd usin’ your first name, but hey…..been watchin’ your videos for weeks now so
I feel entitled.Anyway, just wanted to say THANKS! for the time and effort you put into everything. It has helped me a lot. And this is coming from someone who was never a smoker. I sorta fell into vaping as a means of coping with my medical condition. I had a complete gastrectomy about 2 years ago due to a rare stomach disease that is most quickly described as “pre-cancer” or “cancer-lite.” It’s called Menetrier’s Disease. And that’s not a typo, although if you search for it, google will try to auto-correct it into something else.
Anyway, no need to waste more of your time just talking about my own sorry state of affairs. To vaping! Vaping is a way for me to experience flavor without eating. I’m a big food guy. Like ALL kinds of food. But, now I have to “graze” and be very careful about what I consume. Vaping lets me enjoy flavors that are mostly off-limits to me now.
And your reviews and videos have REALLY helped me to find the right equipment and juices. So thanks for the hard work, and keep it up!
Jason
