Hello Phil,

I just crossed the 1 month mark of putting the tobacco down ( 2 packs a day for the
past 20+ years) and haven’t even thought about going back since I started vaping. I
can not believe how easy it was to transition.

I want to sincerely thank you for what you do. When I started researching E-cigs,
I am pretty thorough and compulsive about researching new, to me, products, I was
amazed at all of the options available and all of the terminology that was involved
with educating myself. After a day or so I came across your youtube channel and I
was amazed at how detailed and informative your reviews were. I watched a few and
decided right then that I needed to give vaping a try.

So off I went to my local vape store, which consisted of no more than a single glass
case and two young dudes having a competition to see how dense they could get the
vapor in the store. It was kind of a turn off but I was on a mission. I started
with an ITaste VV 3.0 and a Mini ProTank 2 as well as a ProTank 3, Luckily they had
some decent products in the single glass case. I have since also moved into a
Provari, ProTank Aero, and a Kayfun 3.1 and found a great Vape Shop about 35 minutes
away. And now here I am 1 month Tobacco Free. So, Again, I just wanted to thank
you for what you do. I am sure you get these types of emails quite a bit. I just
wanted let you know that you are helping people and it is appreciated! Keep doing
what you’re doing!

Thank you Again & I hope you have a Great Day!

Vape On!

Greetings from Georgia! You probably hear this a lot, but I just wanted to
say thank you. I have learned so much from your videos. My mother was diagnosed with
emphysema in January 2013. She had been smoking for nearly 40 years. We decided to
stop smoking together, and laid them down on mother’s day 2013. We went straight
from cigarettes to e cigs, never having used one before. We bought the V2 brand, and
it was ok for a short while. I went on you tube and searched and there you were. We
had no idea there were so many different products out there. It can be confusing to
someone who is new to vaping, but your videos helped us find the right setup for our
needs. We have been non smokers for almost year, thanks to you. How do we find out
about your contests? Thanks again, Carolyn & Tracy

Phil,
I know you get a bunch of these types of messages. You have been a safe place to
get info as I have learned how to vape. I smoked for 17 years and I have never felt
healthier than I do right now and I want you to know that you have been a big part
of it. I have learned so much from Tasteyourjuice.com that people think I am some
sort of vapor expert, little do they know it’s all info they can get from you in a
few short hours of looking at your site. I know I have personally added 5
subscribers to your YouTube channel. Sorry I can’t do more than that for you. If I
ever see you at a meet, I’ll be sure to say hi and hope to buy you a beer.

Respectfully,

Hi Phil!
I’m just writing to tell you that what you do for us is extremely important and I
wish I had known about your site earlier. I have the usual story, smoked a pack a
day or more for years and years, quit a few times and then went back; and I
literally used to pray for the strength to quit. I’m late to the “scene” of vaping
but I’m an avid supporter. I had an extremely unattractive “smoker’s cough” and
subjected my family to the stink and harm of a smoker. I read an article in Time
magazine while sitting at the dentist’s office and decided to give it a shot. I
haven’t had a cigarette; or more importantly WANTED a cigarette in 10 weeks and
I’m…so freakin happy. I did some research and made some mistakes but ultimately
became an e-cig advocate to the max. I’d like to share three beginner mistakes for
people to avoid because even though you’ve been doing this for a long time, it’s
still new to a lot of people.

#1 NEVER use the “grocery store” e-cigs. Next to worthless and a huge waste of
money. Yeah, I’m talking about anything available at the drug store, gas station, or
grocery store.

#2 Don’t start cheap. When I started vaping, I bought the “$30 model” and even
though it saved me, it was constant upkeep and replacement of failed parts. I became
paranoid about having replacements for everything in case it failed. Save your self
the grief and get a higher end model. Its all about being happy and successful in
your conversion!

#3 This one sounds …well…kinda lame. In my honest opinion, having a lanyard for
your e-cig is extremely important when you are converting. When you realize how
often you BLINDLY reach for a cigarette or a lighter and your e-cig is RIGHT THERE
cuz it’s strapped around your neck, you’ll get what I’m saying. I tell all my
friends that I’ve actually bought e-cigs for about this and while it sounds so
elementary to someone as involved and informed as you, I wanted to share.

Once again, THANK YOU so much for your wealth of knowledge and your generosity-you
are literally saving lives.

Hi Phil,

I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your advise / video’s and a really
great Website.

I have just started the switch from 20+ cigarettes a day to vaping along with my
partner (3 weeks yesterday).

We are in the UK, and the main concentration of physical shops are in the midlands,
and we are not. Its really hard to get good advise / see all the products available.

Your site and video’s have been invaluable.

I just wanted to say thank you.

Hey Phil,
I just wanted to say that I was a cigar smoker of ten years. A year ago I made the
switch to vaping. I was started out by a shop while on a trip with a ego and carto
tank. This was a nice start and I slowly over a week never went back to a cigar. I
became thirsty for more knowledge and began researching, stumbling onto your page I
found a wealth of knowledge and some comedy from you. I started to desire longer
battery life and new experiences. I made the jump after your review of the anyvape
cvi and landed a v2 with a nicer carto tank. I also have a chimbus and a cheapo mech
that I link to a cigar more than anything sit and have a vape while outside or in
the garage tinkering on stuff. The other night I was at work I’m a paramedic and
have been in the line of public service my whole adult life. I went in to retrieve a
patient that had chest pain very common in my line of work. When we got back out to
the rig we noticed things were well not right. Our GPS was gone our cell phones and
well my back pack. Sadly inside my back pack was my kit as my coworkers make fun of
it as. These a$$ holes swiped all my vape gear cash keys to my home and car my
external battery and other personal items. I was super mad obviously. I came back
to watch some of your videos over my ego and old carto tank when I saw the elvt mod.
This thing looks super cool! I would love one of those fancy dna 20 or 30 units but
I would be so scared to break it. Looking forward to the review and if you can even
buy one. I searched but only found the alibaba to be moving these things. Your
videos on builds and brutal truth have been a great support system, as well as kept
me off the real combustible stuff. I have two small kids and cant wait to live
longer because I feel better and have way more energy now that I vape. Cheers to you
and your cause.

Phil, Just wanted to take a minute to thank you for your time and
dedication to the education of new and veteran “vapers.” I came to vaping as a
non-smoker. My parents were heavy smokers and I have always hated the smell of
tobacco. I have never tried a cigarette. However, for many years, I have been
suffering from a gastric condition that has been very frustrating and difficult to
control. As a sort of “last resort” my gastroenterologist suggested that I try
nicotine to help alleviate some of the symptoms I experience. I did some research
and decided to try a vaporizer and it has made a huge difference in my quality of
life. Your videos paved the way for me and I’ve not only gotten relief from my
medical condition, but also found a fun and enjoyable hobby. Thanks again and I
look forward to watching more of your great productions. Regards, Butch

Hi Phil
Just a quick few words to thank you for your awesome video reviews, and very useful
website summarizing important pointers into the world of vaping.

As a 30 year plus ex roll-your-own smoker, I am delighted to say I am approaching 6
weeks of zero tobacco – woohoo! And without a doubt, the transition has been made
much easier thanks to the great no-nonsense impartial information you put out there.

As an ex-smoker all I want to do is ‘not smoke tobacco’ – I have no interest in sub
ohms – human smoke-machines etc. and really appreciate the line you take on
‘sensible vaping’.

As a practicing electronics design engineer I have quickly gotten into RBA’s and
couldn’t be happier. Need to check out genesis yet!

I use:
IGO-L (2.2 R ~) with VAMO V5 mini build
IGO-W (1.2 R ~) with Bolt MOD + safe battery
Aspire BDC with EGO twist for mobile
On order are IGO-S (for use with EGO) and RSST (to explore genesis)

Apologies for the length of this thank you – but keep up the great work and once
again – thanks Phil!

Best, Martyn

Phil, I just wanted to send you a email Thanking You for all you have done
for me. I was a smoker for 43 years. I tried everything to quit with no luck. When
I decided to quit smoking, I starting looking online for help and ran across your
web site. I started to read your information section and that helped make the
decision to start vaping. I began to watch your video’s to get more info which also
lead me to purchase my first ecig. Thanks to you and your web site, I have been
smoke free for 2 months. I have not once wanted to light up! The info on your site
also helped me to convince 2 of my friends to also quit smoking. My wife is a very
Happy Camper since I quit. I don’t want to make this email too long, but I just
wanted to say, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! You have changed my life
forever. For what you have helped me do, I call you my Friend.
Again, Thank You!
