Category: Success Stories

Just wanted to thank you for all the insights of vaping you had brought to
me in my quest to quit smoking. I started e-cigs on a kanger product a 14 months ago
and advanced to a Nemsis, and a K-fun 3.5. Adjusting my juice mix on nic levels
each mix, I mixed at 100ml volume per batch dropping the nic level from 18,16,14 and
so on. My last batch was at an 10 nic level and I was able to just walk away from
vaping all together.
My Goal to quit cigs has HAPPENED, a 40 year smoker who had tried EVERYTHING to quit
is now a none smoker. Thanks for the Help Phil I will still sign in to your vids at
times and send folks your way . Stevewildman

Thanx Phil! Your YouTube video on the Aspire bdc was so helpful…I’m new to vaping and I just bought one…I live on an island and just the liquid is illegal in my town…so I knew nothing about vaping…I stumbled on your video and now every question I had is answered…I had someone (who doesn’t vape) telling me I was crazy…why was I going through a head every week…they should last me two months or more…so I was very confused..and concerned bc vaping cured me of a 30+ year pack a day habit when nothing else did (not patch, ECig, gum, or chantix helped) so thank you for educating me with the knowledge I need to continue.

Hi Phil !

First of all: Congratulations, great job ! I love your videos, you really help
people who falls in the giant world of vaping! Clear speeches, good information and
a very nice guy. Really Great Job ( 10 x 1 against other “reviewers” i “met” ) .

I’m from Portugal, i had been watching your reviews since i started to think passing
through the old analog cigarettes to the wonderful tasty vape, you don’t know, but
you helped me a lot with your tutorial for beginners, that’s where i started to
understand what is vaping, and what devices to start with, since then, I’ve been
following your videos on your YouTube channel and i’m starting to step up for
rebuildables. Now i see vaping as an healthy devotion for taste and I’m completed
addicted to the wonders of engineering and design of that “New World” electronic
devices. for the first time this night I’ve tasted your site, tasteyourjuice.com and
find the contest was still running, so i decided to participate and send you an hug
in a kind of thanks for all that help, and a few bad English words in a kind of
strength to continue your great work.

Mr.Pbusardo. My husband and I want to thank you for all of your videos,
charts, graphs, explanations ect. We are new vapors since October of 14 and we are
enjoying being smoke free, me; 31 years, hubby; 16 years-smoking cigarettes. We have
spent many many evenings watching your videos on everything. Sometimes because we
need answers sometimes just for the enjoyment of learning something new to try. You
were one of the first reviews I found in this journey and we just stayed with you
because you are articulate and informational, funny and practical. Besides you seem
to have either a video or info on just about everything! We highly value your
opinion and before we buy we search your sight to find out what you say..in fact,
tonight you saved us from the Fogger! Thank you for that. Anyway we are on a
fantastic journey and wanted to let you know how much we enjoy you being part of it.
Please don’t stop what your doing…you are a life line to us newbies!

Let me start out by saying, Thank you.

I had been smoking for about 30 years, my wife about 25 years. Me, about a pack and a half a day or more, usually more. My wife, about a pack a day.

We are both retired U.S. Navy, and now work in the civilian sector. In any military branch, the important decisions were always made in the smoke pit (Smoking area). So neither of us ever considered quitting.

I have to admit, that cigarettes ran our life. It was always, do I have enough cigarettes for the day, or on trips, where can we smoke, where is the smoking area in this airport, and does the hotel have a smoking room? While out to sea, when will the smoking lamp be lit? I am sure you remember what some of that was like. I guess I was also married to Marlboro.

Well, for years, our families were always on our butts to quit. In our minds, we sacrificed over half our lives for freedom, which included our right to smoke, or slowly commit suicide from inhaling carcinogens.

A little over a year ago some people at work that I spent smoke breaks with, started Vaping, forced to vape in the smoke pit. Where I work, we are mostly Veterans of all branches of the military, so yes, it’s constant BALL BUSTING. Back to the vapors, yes we gave the vapors a hard time. I notice seeing them less and less at the smoke pit, and they said they were not smoking at all anymore. They would talk about the flavors, and the fact that they don’t smell like a dirty ashtray anymore. Also, how much better they felt, breathing better etc.

Back in October 2014 I started talking with the wife about the smokers at work who were now vaping. She was intrigued, but skeptical. So I started researching on-line about vaping. So many people out there saying so many things, most of it was a foreign language to me, but I came across your site and I learned stuff, lots of stuff. The language barrier was became easier and easier. You are the Rosetta-Stone of Vaping for us.

November 2014 came, the wife and I talked, and decided on Veterans Day, November 11th as our quit smoking date. The morning of the 11th we went to the local Vape shop, somewhat educated, less intimidated. I wasn’t intimidated into buying the expensive mods, we just wanted the starter kits to get started. Tried every flavor we could at the vape shop and picked the ones we liked, and we were out the door, and done with cigarettes for good.

As of today, we are at our 2 month mark, or 8 weeks and 5 days, which ever sounds longer. We both feel better, breathing better, smell better, and smelling better. We can’t stand the dirty ashtray smell, and we point it out to each other when we are out and about. I can’t believe we smelled like that.

At work, being the heavy smoker, people were shocked seeing me vape. They couldn’t believe that I totally gave up cigarettes for an electronic device. I received the same ball busting I had given others, but I could take it. Within a week they were saying if I could do it, they could too. I was getting tons of questions, I answered what I could about what was working for me, nic levels, devices, tanks etc… Referred them to your site, the “Getting Started” section. When they came back with questions, it was so much easier to answer them now.

Thanks to your inspiration, as of yesterday, I have converted 6 people from smoking to Vaping.

So from all of us, thank you for all that you do.

You may have known this e-mail is coming. I know you are in China right now so I certainly don’t expect a response but I just wanted to send you another thank you. I got my MVP 20w, and my two Nautilus tanks today along with my first Crat Vapery box. You suggestions have opened up a WHOLE NEW WORLD of flavor and vapor to me. I really did not know it could be this GOOD! So Phil, thank you so much for taking the time to help me pick out the right gear to really get me going in this world of vaping. I cannot believe I spent two years vaping off little no name eGo’s.

Your time is greatly appreciated,
A life long fan,
Dave

Hi from bonny Scotland Phil. Just to let you know what a fantastic job you
are doing for vapers all over the world. I am a vaper of some 2 and a half years now
and have learned everything I know from your videos. I started after I was diagnosed
with a stage 2 melanoma which was operated on and thankfully has not spread to
anywhere else yet. I also have Parkinsons disease so don’t get out too much but the
entertainment I get from you and Dimitri is as you would say stellar. I like how you
cater for the majority vaper I vape on an MVP 2 with a Lemo RTA using 1.8 to 2ohm
builds and find the results fantastic. Again I follow your kayfun build method.
Can’t wait for the new Innokin product reviews as I will be sure to move on to one
of them. I will maybe wait for the Evolv MVP version. Love your country by the way
worked in Boston and New Jersey quite a bit and have enjoyed holidays in Florida 4
times now. Anyway enough of my blethering. Keep up the good work and may the vape be
with you.

Hi there and greetings from Port Macquarie, Australia. Thanks for the
effort you have put into this wonderful site, I’m sure it helps new and experienced
vapors alike. I’ve actually seen you on utube before I came across your site, you
helped me work out my evic supreme.
I got into vaping 3 years ago when a doctor visited my local bar, I thought he had a
laser pointer in his hand but then he put it in his mouth and “smoked” it. He gave
me a try and I loved it. Went home that night and orderd a starter kit online, it
arrived a week later and I haven’t had an analog since (well I’ve had the odd puff,
only to find it disgusting). The ecig was V2 with the pre filled cartridges. About a
year after that, I moved onto their Ex series and filled them with juice which was
a better flavor and throat hit as well as half the price. We even had a local
distributer who got stock to us in 48 hours for $10.
Eventually our government banned the sale of ecigs containing nicotine so I was
forced to go back to the American site. This led me to the V2 pro series 3, which I
thought was great. Unfortunately the American site was continually out of stock, but
I found a distributer in Australia who, although unable to supply juice containing
nicotine, had these devices called mods. I’ve purchased several of them and they
leave all V2 batteries for dead.
So now I get all my equipment locally apart from my juice, which I still get from V2
in America. I like their Sarah 24mg, which I mix with the non nicotine flavors
from my Australian distributer.
Well, that’s my story, hope you didn’t fall asleep. You sound like the kind of guy
though, who would be interested in a 100 % success story.
Keep up the great work, and of course, the humor………I love it.
All the best,

Dennis

Good evening Phil,

I just wanted to take the time and tell you that I really like your videos and thank you for making them.
I really enjoy vaping but my reasons for vaping are probably very different to most people because I had a bad cycling accident and because of the accident I am now disabled and have an acquired brain injury which makes learning things and most of all remembering things very difficult for me.

Before, and after my accident I was a smoker and really enjoyed it because it made me feel like a normal person but because of my brain injury I am very forgetful and easily distracted which led to a few ‘accidents’ with lit cigarettes and also lighters and it became very dangerous for me to continue to smoke.

When I was told I was no longer allowed to smoke I looked for another alternative and found out about electronic cigarettes, so I contacted a lady named Elise, who has an online shop called Vaping Mad, (she makes some truly beautiful juices) who was very kind and helpful and never made me feel stupid or that I couldn’t ask a question and she even made some small videos for me to show me how to fill up the tanks and change the coil heads on my clearomizers.

That was a while ago now and I now have a nice collection of mods and atomizers and love spending time building a coil and and making my own flavoured juices and hearing my carers comment on how yummy they smell and make the house smell.

Last week my Kayfun 4 arrived and I spent the day with you stripping my Kayfun, washing it, rebuilding it and putting the different tanks on it and seeing which tank option I like the look of most of all, and eventually building a coil and vaping it and I had a really fun day and enjoyed your company.

I have a Semovar in my collection which is what used for my Kayfun 4, with the hybrid connection. After an hour or two my Semovar broke and I couldn’t use it which upset me a bit because Keith at Cloud9vaping is on holidays so I wouldn’t be able to send it to England for a while. I never realized how used to and how much I enjoyed variable wattage vaping till I couldn’t use my Semovar.

After watching some videos, including yours, I decided I should buy another variable wattage device and decided to buy a Provari P3, which arrived today, so I spent today with you and my Provari P3 going through all the menus and options and making some notes for myself to help me understand it more.

As I was doing that my carer came in to the room with a cup of coffee for me and I told her how helpful it was being able to watch what you are doing on the video and then doing it myself with my device and being able to pause and rewind your video and listen again in case I missed something and my carer told me I should write to you and tell you because it might make you smile and happy.

I wanted to say thank you for all your hard work and effort and I hope that you realize how much you help people, especially me, by making your videos and I also wanted to let you know that I love the charts too even if I sometimes don’t understand them completely and I really love how you let me know how your family is and show them on some of your videos because it makes me feel like it is more personal and you kind of make me feel like you are inviting me into your family. I hope that doesn’t sound strange and weird because I don’t mean it in a strange and weird way. Sometimes it is hard to write thoughts.

I hope you have a very good New Year’s Day and I look forward to watching your videos next year.

Kenneth
