From Ronan
Thank again Phil without the help of Innokin products and the fantastic Zenith tank I would never have been able to quit.
I smoked for over 19 years tried multiple times to quit but was always unsuccessful. I tried all from gum to patches always failed but with the Zenith tanks being extremely user friendly it made the transition a breeze for me.
Feeling fantastic I’ve converted at least 5 people to vaping and now I finally got my wife of the cigs also and on the vape train with us.
I’ve been vaping for 19 months now love all my Innokin devices! So user friendly and well built. I’ve ordered the Ares 2 tank waiting patiently for it to arrive.
I got my wife using the Coolfire mini and the Gala shes 8 weeks of the cigs now doing fantastic.
Thank you Phil! I enjoy watching the smoker shows and your reviews. Unfortunately I don’t get to watch it live due to time zones.
Would love to see the unsalted liquid range reach the shelves in Ireland.
Wish you and yours all the best during this pandemic. Keep up the fantastic work you and Dimitris do and thank you once again!

Phil,
First thank you for all you do for the community. You really helped me out years ago to transition from V2 Cig-a-likes to mods and tanks. My wife and I really quit 8 years ago and used various versions of V2 Cig-a-likes for about 3 or 4 years.
Anyway I have now have three of Innokin’s new products. My wife and I both use Kroma-R mods. I also have had a Zenith Pro and just got a Ares 2 on Friday. My wife and I both also use a Vaperesso tanks that take the GT Coil line.
Both of us have gradually transitioned from MTL vapers to RDL vapors because as you and Dimi have often discussed MTL tanks got really hard to find in vape shops where we could try them out. My theory is that my vape shops primary focus was selling e-liquid and customers go through a lot more eliquid with SubOhm tanks. Not sure if that was the only reason but probably one of the larger reasons.
Zenith Pro… One of my favorite tanks of all time. It can be a pretty tight MTL and a pretty open RDL. I love the ability to start dialing things down from a air flow perspective with a 1 ohm coil so I can get use to lower wattage higher nic…which I am finding allows me to vape longer between charges and go through a lot less eliquid.
Ares 2… This is my first RTA or rebuildable of any kind. Your instructional video was OUTSTANDING and I got a usable setup done on my second try. Lesson learned cut with the grain of the cotton NOT across it : ) No good it falls apart! Would love a more open/RDL version of the Ares in the future.
Again thank you so much for everything you and Dimi do! It has been great to see and hear Jen and Wayne. Have had many a twitter conversation with Jen about getting started with mixing my own juice and Wayne’s videos have also been extremely helpful.
BTW I mixed up a batch of Pineapple Orange Freeze…with a little less WS-23. Once I finish my current tank of juice in my Ares 2 I’m going to give it a try.

So one year ago today I walked into my local vape shop with the intention to quit smoking. The Aegis mini was my first kit. Me not knowing better sub ohm was not the style I was looking for. Shortly after that I picked up the aspire nautilus which really let me know that this could work for me definitely after i figured out I’m a fruit guy. Then looking to save as much as possible i googled best mtl rta(now that i knew what that was) it led me to the ares. S/O to Phil and Dimi now I did dual use for 6 mos be 4 i quit the stinkies (going on 7 months cig free soon). However long it took does not matter, what matters is you stick to it and remember why you started vaping in the first place and you can make it too, finding your flavor helps this tenfold why would you want a nasty cig when you could have blue raspberry lemonade sorry for babbling on just wanted to get this out in case it might help someone else sorry for the grammar also
From Phil
Phil. Just wanted to thank you for your service and steady voice through the last decade or so. I watched the Nic salts discussion last night and followed along with interest. I’ve ridden the Salt Nic insidious wave for a year or two and now find myself gravitating back to freebase 12 mg. Finding the Unsalted line has been a lovely bonus. As has the Zenith tank. On my way out to pick up the Pro. Thanks again to you and Dimitri. I’ve met you guys at a couple of events and you’ve always been very gracious and cool. BTW, you were there years ago when I bought my first Squape and Dicodes combo at the late great Vapero store in Quebec. You gave it the thumbs up and all still in service years later. Thanks for the 3rd time, Phil. Hope your health and happiness running high! Regards, Phil

Hey Phil, Gary from Western Australia Here.
Just want to tell you and Dimitris are doing a fantastic job in converting smokers to vaping, offering them the right sort of devices for them to start.
I have been vaping since the end of 2009 and you were the second vaping you tuber I found on YouTube after Scott (igeta69).
I think back in 2010 things were simple with limited choice but yet complex with all the fiddling around you had to do to get a fair vape.
I think now days also can be simple with the advancements but yet confusing with all the new technology, but a lot easier to get a excellent vaping experience.
I still remember when you use to do taste testing with a 510 atomizer (boge) one I think.
The journey has been a real pleasing experience for me just from 2009 to 2020.
Keep up the great work, both of you. And I will catch you later, thanks.

Phil/Dimitris
I first wrote you guys on March 15, 2018. At that point I was about 6 months in to a successful and surprisingly easy transition from smoking to vaping. I’m still vaping, having not even held a cigarette (literally) since the day I started vaping. But do you know what I’m proudest of? I’m proudest of the fact that I’ve helped 5 other lifelong smokers make the switch. Yeah, I’ve given away 1 Zenith tank, 1 Zlide, a couple of Ares and a handful of single battery mods – but so what? Those “gifts” are FAR surpassed by the knowledge that others have benefited. I will give more away, and I will keep vaping!
I continue to watch and enjoy your posts – keep it up, gentlemen. You are doing GOOD.

Hi Phil I would just like to thank you and Dimitris.
I have been a dual user of smoking and vaping for a couple of years been managing a vape shop for just over a year but with the help and advise from the Smokers Show I have dusted off one of my old MTL tanks just over a week ago and stuck in a higher strength Nic juice and I have not been dual using since!
Keep up the good work!
The Smokers Show is great for people who are smoking and people that are between.

Hi Phil.
First of all I just wanna thank you. Thank you for existing. People like you is what this world needs. I’m so sorry for what you’re all going through in the United States. From Spain I send you all the strength and if there’s a way I can help even a little bit let me know and I gladly do it. We talked in the past, my story is in your web. I have multiple sclerosis. In 2 months is my 4 years vapeversary. This past year I had an episode that let me with little to no sensitivity in the hands. This makes harder to me to rebuild my atomizer but I push through. I wish I could afford to buy a replaceable coil atomizer (zenith would be my dream) but since I don’t work I’m extremely short on money.
I’m also a throat hit dependent and I find extremely hard to get any liquid with more than 6mg nic, which is infuriating.
Just wanted to let you know how thankful I am for all that you’ve done for people like me. Not only for sharing your knowledge, at this point I have little to learn about vaping, but I’m depressed and I find myself going back over and over to your videos because I find comfort and peace. Give Dimitri a hug for me, another wonderful person. And if somehow someday you have to send something to Spain I would love to try that bromance 12mg since it’s impossible for me to find it here.
Much love from Spain
