Hey Phil,

Just wanted to take a few minutes and say thank you. Thank you for your down to
earth, clear headed, realistic videos. I am a new vapor with big wants and a little
budget haha. I have been vaping an ego and evod tank for 2 months because that is
what I can afford and for me it works. I haven’t touched a ciggarette since I
started vaping. I have never had an actual hobby but have found on in vaping. While
I can’t afford anything more at the moment I still spend my free time watching vape
videos. I love watching you and Grimm and fully credit you guys for keeping me away
from the cigs. While Grimm plays more towards my dreamer side with crazy RDA’s and
Mods you keep me happy with where I am in vaping. In every video you say something
along the lines of “Whatever product keeps you from smoking cigarrettes is the right
product for you”. I need that reassurance. I’m not blowing monster clouds. I do not
have fancy mods but I am satisfied and am not smoking. I am happier because of it
and have you to thank.

I value you and Grimm’s opions more than anyone elses. I watch many other reviewers
but you guys have been doing this since vaping first came onto the scene and you
guys saw where vaping was going and stuck with it. You do not need recognition from
me but I just wanted to say keep doing what you are doing. You help so many people
with your videos and without them I would have very little to look forward to during
my week.

Thank you,

Jacob

Hi Phil,

First of all I would like to thank you for you entertaining reviews.

I am off the fags for nearly three month now as my son developed early childhood
asthma a while ago. The doc told me even though I am not smoking indoors (house/car)
at all the smoke will stay on my clothing for quiet a while and this would not help.
I tried first the usual stuff, patches, gums.. didn’t work at all. Having a
stressful job did also not help at all, it was more the opposite…

I went even down the chemical route with Champix….. It worked quite OK in the
beginning however I started to get seriously weird dreams so I went off from the
drugs and shortly back on to the fags again….

I had some early adopters for e-cigs at work who were on them for years and they
tried to convince me however…. well, even though I wanted to quit smoking I
dismissed their claims as the usual disposable sold at the gas station around the
corner etc wasn’t really satisfying.

After staying another night in hospital a couple of months ago because of a severe
asthma attack of my son I really started thinking again and I decided to invest some
further research into the matter and I ended up on your website and learned a lot.
After rurther reading into the matter I ordered my first e-cig, a Kanger Evod and
e-liquid with 18mg Nicotine. I pledged to myself only to use the Evod and no more
smokes and it worked.

After the first month however I looked what else is out there and opted for a Vamo
V5 and a Kanger Aerotank. That one was even better and I discovered the pleasure of
trying different flavours.

After the second month fag free I reduced my nicotine level to 12mg and discovered
the joy of RBAs. Having the knack of “tinkering” with stuff this was ideal and I
noticed that this actually can evolve into a hobby (tinkering) and while I am
writing this nearly into 3 month without touching a cigarette I am enjoying a vape
with a Kayfun on a Stingray X while my son is in bed and I do not have to go outside
into the lovely weather Ireland has to offer at this time of the year….. (hint, it
is not sunshine and it includes a lot of rain and wind).

So thank you for all your time and effort you put into your hobby to share it with
the “world”.

This is actually the first website I saw that does change your life without charging
any money for it or for that matter claiming to change it in the first place, but it
did (and believe me, I see a ton of them every day at my job who claim to change
your life and only want your money). 🙂

Kind regards,
Chris

Dear Phil,

Warm greetings from tropical Malaysia about 7,500 miles away from you in the United States!

I was a pack-a-day smoker for 21 years. After finding a local vape shop, I decided to wonder in and see for myself what vaping was all about. The shop owners were a passionate bunch who spent time explaining to me the basics. I bought myself an Ego Style Starter Kit and left excited to try something which had the potential to get me off the analogs.

2nd April 2014 was a significant date for me, it was the first time my friends went outside for a cigarette and I joined them but without smoking. I had no urge to light up nor did I have a craving for a cigarette. And so began my interest in vaping.

Investing in a Provari 2.5 and a Kayfun Lite Plus, the vape shop directed me to your review / tutorial on the Kayfun and I have been a fan since. I find your reviews very informative, unbiased and very helpful both to the new vaper and the experienced. Your videos have helped to turn my initial interest into an enjoyable hobby and more importantly, one which keeps all of us ex-smokers off the cigarettes. I have been cigarette-free since 2nd April 2014, my sense of smell has returned and I do not feel like I have that shortness of breath.

Myself and I know many of your other Malaysian fans, wish you every success in your future endeavors and I know I will continue to watch your reviews and videos with great interest.

Best wishes,

Zac

I started electronic cigarettes about a year ago. The first ones I purchased were the ones you could buy at your local 7-11. That didn’t last long. I then ventured to the internet but having no real good place to start i purchased a few gadgets that wound up in a drawer. I then turned to you tube and found your videos. Your reviews of products led to to purchase a rba and electronic mod. Since that time approximately 4 months ago i have not had enjoyed a real cigarette. I say this because I had run out of juice one day and decided to smoke one of my wife’s. After about a quarter of it i threw it out. I now plan ahead as i do not like my local juice bars and order juice online. For all you smokers out there that have tried an e smoke and given up, don’t ! Check out one of Phil’s reviews and try a better mod.

Hi, my name is Scott, I started vapeing on March 4th 2014 with the help of
your youtube channel and by joining a forum (vaportalk). After 3 days I was
convinced and haven’t touched and analog since. I’ve managed to get a couple
friends to try vapeing as well now. I want to thank you for all you do for the new,
as well as veteran vapers out there! I often see your videos linked on the forum to
offer people advice and solid reviews/explanations on topics. For myself, you were
a huge part of my success. Keep up the great work!

Hi Phil!
I just wanted to thank you for all that you have done regarding the world of vaping. You probably hear this a lot, but you have been a huge contribution to a brand new life for me.

I have been smoking since the age of 16, adding up to 17 years of smoking about a pack / day. I have tried everything on the market (except for hypnotism) to quit, including e-cigs. Years ago I tried out a company called pro-smoke, to give the e-cigarette a chance. it worked for a little while, but couldn’t replicate what my experiences were with smoking a marlboro or camel. Nearly 1 month ago I ran into my neighbor who was thoroughly enjoying a mechanical mod. He knew i was a smoker and offered me a toot on his device. I was blown away! I started doing some research on the progression of technology for vaping, and was amazed.

I watched many of your videos in an effort to get up to speed on what was going on. In my journey for knowledge i stumbled upon many sources of information that I simply wasn’t comfortable trusting. This is not the case with anything you have provided. There is a magical vibe to what you produce that has an aura of trust and goodness that can’t be replicated. I have had no desire to touch a cigarette since acquiring a new device. ( I wont mention it in fear that this may come across as a promotional or solicitation type email). It has been nearly a month smoke free, and from the bottom of my (now functioning much better) heart, I sincerely thank you. In many ways is is difficult to describe the value of what you have accomplished, but just know that you will forever be a part of a life that I now appreciate more than ever.

Thank you Phil,

Sincerely,

Eric

I just wanted to tell you that your videos are teaching me a lot about
vaping. I started vaping a week and a half ago. I smoked over a pack a day. Proud
to say that today I only had two cigarettes and they weren’t even good. I NEVER
thought I would be able to stop smoking EVER and I am simply amazed at what vaping
has done for me already. I strongly believe once I get set up with a few devices
and lots of favors that I will turn the two cigarettes into zero. I’ll keep
watching the awesome videos, I can’t wait to be an EX-SMOKER (am so happy to even be
thinking of being able to say “I quit smoking”). Thank you again for encouragement
and great reviews it helps demystify the information out there.

I’m just gonna make this short…my wife & I are newbies to the vaping community. I smoked for 33 yrs, & my wife for 26 yrs. Today we are at 23 days tobacco free! I ran across your channel on YouTube, & I would like to thank you for the wonderful job that you do…your channel is very helpful to us beyond belief. We will be loyal fans forever!

How’s it going today sir ? I just want to take the time to write you (probably won’t hear a response cause you and dimitri are always talking on the muses) but I want to personally say thank you for all the videos and supporting the community , I find my self re watching your videos just to try and attain as much information as I can , I was a 10th grader in school trading my lunch money for cigs , and now I’m 18 and have been of the stickies for about 2 years now , yes I did start vaping when I was 17 but I knew I had to make a change I had a hard time breathing and was smoking a pack/2 a day ! now i just vape and let me say I feel like someone opened a window in my chest cause I can breathe so much better now and overall feel better , I hope you have a great day and keep doing what your doing sir

Big thumbs up on ur show!

Ur practical breakdown of the multiple devices helped me to be less afraid to try out the higher-tech (at least to me;-)) BRAVO

The flavor reviews were spot on as well, when I tried the peach e lichee, the lichee part was yucky, at first. Haha, it’s now my second favorite.

Thanks again, for helpin boost the confidence of ur viewers. I look forward to reviewing more of your shows.
