Category: Success Stories

Just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your videos on YouTube. They
have been so informative that you’ve saved me from making a lot of costly mistakes.
For example: carto tanks!! I almost threw them all away and switch back to Protanks,
because I thought they were all leaking . I got the X8 carto tanks and every time I
tried to fill them through the fill hole, the carto would flood and I didn’t know
why (I threw away about 8 Boge cartos unnecessarily because of this). Then I saw
your video on how you have to bring down the carto enough to let air pressure
escape. Now I’m vaping exclusively with X8 tanks and I absolutely love them. The
flavor is more intense and the vapor is incredible. I use them on my Vamo and ZMax.
Thanks so much!!! You are a valuable resource for all of us!!!

Once again I just wanted to say thanks. I have no doubt that there are
plenty of people out there that say to themselves the same thing I say after
listening to most of your comments which is ” He took the words right out of my
mouth” You wrote a comment not too long ago regarding folks that at times have this
elitist attitude regarding the devices they use and at times make other folks feel
that the devices they use do not measure up. You always bring it back home when you
remind everyone that the reason we are all doing this was / is to not smoke tobacco
products, Just like with your next steps comment it always comes back to are you
satisfied enough so you won’t light up that cigarette or pipe or cigar. I think most
smokers are by nature dealing with some level of addictive type personalities and
some people are always going to have next steps. Call it device envy, All I know
is listening to you helps me remind myself that it is ALWAYS about NOT SMOKING
anylonger. Yes I do wonder am i experiencing the best vaping experience I can, Do I
need a provari, do I need to get a top of the line dripping atomiizer, Or that $20
glass tank etc etc and then you remind us about the important thing,NO SMOKING. SO
Thank You Phil for your wisdom and your passion in your desire to help and guide and
remind us. I remain extremely happy with my MVP and my Halo VV with my HALO Tanks,
my one mini pro Kanger and my mini nova aspire. I will say I continue to enjoy
vaping and I remain satisfied. What remains an issue for me is finding liquid
manufacturers with flavors I really like. I tried a few different places in the
beginning but because of my limited financial situation I always go back to Mt Baker
vaper because their prices even their shipping prices as far as I can tell can’t be
beat. Anyway I really just wanted to say I am still here, I am still listening and
reading your thoughts on your site and I am still extremely thankful that you are
out there and I get the chance to say ” He took the words right out of my mouth”
Thanks Phil for everything you did for me and continue to do for me by just being
yourself. I do wish you and yours a wonderful Thanksgiving. Howie

Phil…
I know you get a lot of emails, so I’ll just let you know – This is just a
gracious thank you from a ex-smoker. You don’t need to read this all, I just
thought you may want some ego stroking.

I really must thank you for recommending the Smoktech RSST. I’ve been
struggling to find an atomizer that made electronic cigarettes less of a
challenge. The trouble with switching from analog cigarettes is that they are
much more convenient (All you need is a pack and a lighter). Any time I had
device issues, it seemed easier to pick up a pack in the mean time. This made
switching more difficult for me.

Before using the RSST I used the Vivi Nova for over 6 months (also picked from
your recommendation) – A great device, but it had a few drawbacks that added to
my frustrations. I’ve tried some lower end Genesis style atomizers in the past
(I have been waiting for a quality affordable genesis since Zen released his),
but never got one to work well enough to use constantly. That changed with the
RSST. I got mine a month and a half ago, and it worked the first time without
issue. I am still using the same wick and coil today – months later, with only
the occasional dry burn to clean off the buildup. I do not get dry hits at all,
and the only issue I have is that the coil gets too hot on a freshly charged
battery (which I correct by just pulsing for the first 30 mins of usage).

I cannot thank you enough for weeding through all the junk and giving all of us
honest and enjoyable video reviews. Your site is the first place I send people
when they ask me about electronic cigarettes.

Please don’t stop your work in our community. I just gave a speech on e-cigarettes, and was surprised how much bad information is spreading. One person told me that he heard the #1 cause of emphysema today is due to e-cigarettes. I don’t know where these statistics are coming from.

You are an invaluable member of this community…

Thanks for making my life that much easier!

Hi Phil
I’m sure you get tons of email, but I just felt that I had to drop you a line and
thank you. I started vaping a couple years ago, and put it away (continued to smoke
cigarettes), mainly because I bought juice that I didn’t care for. About 6 weeks ago
I bought an itaste vv 3.0 and a protank 2, combined with some good quality juice, I
only vape now (quit smoking right away). I already had a Darwin and after watching
your review on the HH357, I bought one??. WOW! Love it. I am now getting some
more mods. I wanted to thank you for all of your reviews, they are so informative,
and helpful. I have learned so much from watching you, and has helped me
tremendously. Again, thank you so much.

I am sure you get a lot of emails like this but i wanted to finally send
you my own message, thanking you for what you do. I want to start by saying that
your videos alone are what helped me make the switch to electronic cigarettes. I got
frustrated when trying to find out what i wanted to try first and all of the info on
the web kind of make things confusing so i went to youtube and did a search. I
ended up watching the video review you did on the eGo c-twist battery and was
instantly drawn in. I bought an eGo c-twist battery along with a carto tank after
watching some more of your videos about them and was extremely satisfied with what i
got. Unfortunately i cant say ive never touched an analog cig since (but it only
happens sometimes if i’ve had a little too much to drink and no longer know where
‘up’ is although ive figured out ‘down’ pretty well). Any other time I have no
interest in analogs and am very happy i made the switch. My regular device now is
a…well..there are a few, lol. I use my Smoktech Magneto for my RBAs and an MVPv2
for everything else. My most used “topper” is a simple Smoktech DC tank with a
1.5ohm carto inside. All of the things i own I saw on your channel first. Which by
the way is done very well. Even if you don’t like a device you still explain
everything about it in a way that allows people to make their own informed decision
and i also like that your videos are usually long and full of useful information. I
am a tech guy so i like that you show each devices specific power output information
as well as their abilities to sustain given voltages under a variety of different
loads. You do a great job of explaining every detail of a device, from its airflow
characteristics down to the “clickiness” of the button. I dig clicky buttons.

If i haven’t yet said it i’ll say it again, THANK YOU for doing what you do. Judging
by all the info on your web page here and in your videos, this takes up a lot of
your time. So from one vapor to another I thank you for putting your time into doing
this. You’ve helped me out a lot. By the way, thank your for the videos on building
coils. A drill bit..who knew!

Thanks!

I guess you get a lot of these types of emails, but I’ve been a subscriber for a
while and I figured YouTube comments didn’t really encompass the scope of what I
wanted to message, so I figured I’d drop you a mail and say THANK YOU for all the
time and effort you put into making your videos, reviews and tutorials.
I started vaping about 18 months ago to cut down smoking with the little disposable
ones, then I went to eGo 510s, and I’m now over a year smoke-free. I’m still vaping
because I enjoy it. I feel no need to quit vaping itself and I don’t intend to :-).

What prompted me to get in touch I guess was your Vivi Nova rebuilding/recoiling
tutorial. I’ve never recoiled a head or a tank before, but I gave this a go and to
my surprise (last time I played with a Vivi Nova head I broke it) I made it work, so
it’s a minor milestone for me I guess.

I’m also a big fan of your reviews of the Smoktech SID (just bought one today), and
both the Vivi Nova and the DCT Tanks, which I use day-to-day, and for each of these
pieces of kit, I’ve found your reviews informative and helpful.

So yeah, I don’t know how many people get in touch with you to thank you, but I felt
like I should. It’s great to have a review or a tutorial to turn to, and I really
appreciate the time and effort you spend on creating them for your fellow vapers.
All the best.

Andy B, England.

PS: The Legal Vape 4000 had me in fits of laughter, I thought it was great.

Just wanted to thank you for helping me understand and make the transition
from cigs to vaping. Your videos are insightful and really helpful. I don’t purchase
any device or tank without watching you Demo it first. Keep up the great work and
thanks again.

I wanted to send an email to say thank you. Im fairly. new to vaping. I quit
smoking for a few months at the beginning of the year. I was using a analog
device and that was ok. But i started smoking again… i would lose it and it
would die at the worst times. A few weeks ago my buddy gave me a ego twist and
took me to a vape store. I picked out a few flavors i liked and got everything
i needed. I was hesitant at first but i tried it. I had some questions for
him, after texting back and fourth for a good portion of the night, he finally
told me to go to tasteyourjuice.com. I clicked the getting started tab and i
was off to the world of vaping. Attys, cartos, clearomizers, mods, ohms, tank
systems, rebuilds, juice. All terms i had no idea what they meant. Your site
is perfect for new vapers. Everything from filling a carto to doing a crazy
rebuild. I took your advice on hardware suggestions and got a vamo. I love it!
Thanks for putting up this site and helping out fellow vapers. Look forward to
watching more of your videos.

Good Morning Phil,
My name is Josh, im a Sergeant in the Marine Corps and I just wanted to say thank
you for what you do. I started out with a typical gas station e cig, stepped up to a
lava tube, then went to a Genesis style Mech that ruined it all for me and i went
back to analogs for about a year. I now have been watching your videos for a couple
months and i’m going to quit analogs for good since it looks like ecigs are where i
hoped they were a few years ago, and i have a 2 month old baby girl who i can’t
bring myself to hold after being covered in smoke. I’m really looking into the
iTaste VTR and the MVP after seeing your reviews (once I can save the cash that is).
I’m also trying to get all my Marines to better themselves and move over to the Ecig
world so hopefully you’ll have a large amount of veteran subscribers here soon! So
again, thank you very much, i’ll be watching and who knows maybe i’ll even win a
contest some day.

-Semper Fidelis-

Hey Phil, I’m a 36 year old from Buffalo, NY & I’ve gotta give you great thanks for everything you’ve done for me & my family. I was a pack & a half smoker for over 20 years (yeah, I started very young), I had tried over & over to quit with patches, gum &, cold turkey to no avail. In January, I bought the Smoov 2 battery kit from Juicy Vapor on a recommendation from a friend. It also wasn’t enough to knock the habit so after a week, I was off to the Rez for more analogs. After about 3 or four months I was trolling around the internet thinking about the e-cig in my drawer and what I could get that might help my vaping experience more than a hard to fill, short lasting & small vapor producing stick. I did a search for reviews & your name came up. I skimmed almost every video that I could find with your name on it & have been hooked ever since. I had my last analog on May 16th & since then I have switched my mother, stepfather, sister, wife & two good friends off analogs & over to vapor. Your reviews have influenced almost all my purchases including the MVP & MVP 2.0 & just recently the Russian 91. I love your videos man. Your help has changed my life for most people that know me & I’d just like to give you the thanks & respect you deserve & keep up the great work.
