Hi Phil, just wanted to say hi and that i’ve discovered your website and
review vids via Youtube. Keep up the great work you do. I was a pack a day smoker
for the last 18 yrs and since i picked up the Blu starter kit (2 weeks ago today) I
am proud to say I’m no longer a smoker. 🙂 However i quickly learned that what i
bought was designed to put it nicely is good only for casual/social smokers. I have
a Vamo V2 kit on order from vaporbreak.com with shipping cost me less than the blu
starter kit. Vamo V2 with 3 batteries and charger was $52. It made me wish i would
have shopped around more first but as they say lesson learned. When i first got the
blu cigs and vaped all the juice from the cartos i bought a 5 pack of classic
tobacco while waiting for my e-liquid to come in from vixenvapors.com. now im
refilling my own cartos till the VAmo gets in along with the CE5+ clearos come.
I’ll be sure to leave a comment on how my setup performs on your vamo review. Thanks
for taking the time to read my email sorry if i was too long winded but i needed to
let you know i appreciated your work and share my story with you.
THE ADAM A.P.S. FIRST LOOK
Here it is! The A.P.S. (advanced Pulling System) for the ADAM from Team Rampage. What is it? Basically an Atty Tank! It automatically pulls e-liquid (from the suction action of your draw) up from the tank section into your bottom feeding atty.  I have it set up with my HH.357. So far, I’m pretty damn impressed.
All the vapor, flavor, and TH from the 357 without the need to drip or squeeze a little bottle. My God this may be Dimitris’ dream! 🙂
Time to order more 357s!
Look for a review soon (ok, yeah, I know the size of the Review Queue… “soon” is relative).

THE NEW SNOW TEST – PATENT PENDING
I have come up with a new test for electronic cigarettes. Here is the procedure:
Step 1 – Drive home from work mentally preparing yourself for snow blowing and shoveling.
Step 2 – VERY IMPORTANT – as you get out of your vehicle drop your device in a foot of fresh heavy snow. In this case, the Innokin SVD review unit. NOTES – old snow can also be used, but depth should be a foot or greater, snow density may also affect your results.
Step 3 – Go into the house, see another device and begin vaping it.
Step 4 – In about an hour, notice you haven’t seen the SVD in a while.
Step 5 – Begin looking all over the house for the device. Including coat pockets, different rooms, tables, counters (now getting desperate…) the garbage, refrigerator (it’s happened), sock and underwear drawer, under the cat (dog can be substituted) and of course, next to the shitter (oh come on, you’ve never left one there?)
Step 6 – Go outside into the snow and search your vehicle. If found, the test was not conducted properly. If not, continue on to next step.
Step 7 – Go back into the house and repeat step 5.
Step 8 – Come to the realization that you’re a dumb ass and have dropped a brand new review unit in the snow somewhere between the vehicle and the house.
Step 9 – Bundle up and head back outside.
Step 10 – Start kicking the snow around and find that it’s too heavy to feel the device.
Step 11 – Get on your hands and knees in the snow and begin to feel your way with your hands.
Step 12 – Find the device by the vehicle (and be happy you didn’t start at the house).
Step 13 – Take a photo so others can laugh at you.
Step 14 – Take the unit inside, remove the battery, and dry everything off.
Step 15 – Let it come back to room temperature, insert the battery, and cross fingers…
Although I’m sure most devices would fair the same way, I’m certainly happy that the SVD review unit did.
Step 16 – Consider moving to Florida.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Phil…… I would like to start by saying thank you for your site and the
work you do reviewing and talking to everybody as often as you do. You have to love
a hobby that you can enjoy this much. I was introduced to vaping about a year ago by
one of the guys that work for my company at a different location. At the time he was
using the volcano lava tube v1. I thought that was a little much to start on and
purchased a Njoy at a local gas station hatted it.. lol but it did get me
interested.. so not knowing anything other than volcano from him I got a inferno
starter kit.. i was hit or miss on it i enjoyed the flavor from dripping but hatted
the hassle of keeping a bottle with me all the time. so i went for the tube tank
from vol 1st carto was like a pool and i sucked juice all day long.. purchased new
ones and they were dry i was so over it.. A few weeks ago I stumbled onto you from
your review of lavatube vs2 I have been here and learned so much ever since.. I have
boba’s bounty and you are right it is mighty good and picked up the vivi nova tank
and it is amazing. I have gone from a pack a day smoker to a few a day. and
hopefully soon i will be all vapor.. going to order the new lava tube tonight in
fact and give some var voltage a whirl.. I have watched the vid’s on the pro V and
the mini pro looks really great but I was so over click 6 times click 9 times stuff
just watching you do it. lol.. Any way keep it up I love watching. Brian.
THE PEACH PIT
Vaping Pink Spot’s Peach Pit Tobacco today. I have no plans for an “official” video review on this one, but lemme tell ya… AWESOME!
I tried this juice when it first came in and loved it. But I put it aside cause I knew it would be a long time before I got to the review, so there the bottle sat… just staring at me.
Last night after playing with my gennys 🙂 I gave into temptation and loaded it in the iClear30 that sat on top of the Innokin SVD that I’m currently evaluating.
Just love this juice. Sometimes you get two flavors that taste like one sitting on top of one another, this one is just a terrific BLEND of ripe peach and a very pleasant tobacco flavor.
Terrific vapor, flavor, and TH hit on this one. Very pleased.
If I do decide to do a vid on them, you’ll only be able to see an empty bottle.
Thumbs up and a street shout out!!

WHAT YOU GOT PETAR?
As I continue my journey into the world of the Genesis Style atty, I decided to try the Petar K method tonight with the Z-Atty Pro.
I had my doubts about this method. My biggest concern was with the coil making proper contact with the wick and therefore the juice.
I’m one of those guys who doesn’t believe anything until I try it for myself.
The results? I’m really happy.
Click on the little “i” in the upper right of the gallery to see my comments on the photos.
Thanks to everyone for all the helpful tips and tricks and to Petar for this method. Very much appreciated!

Phil,
I’d like to take a moment to thank you for all of the help you’ve provided through
your reviews. It has certainly helped me make early vaping decisions and when funds
become more available has given me ideas as to what I would like to upgrade to soon.
Your reviews are not only informative, but extremely entertaining.Been off cigarettes since June 2012 and feeling great!
Best wishes to you from Chicago, Illinois!
Sincerely,
Nick
