Category: Success Stories

Dear Phil,

This is merely a little note of thanks for the many hours of highly enjoyable
entertainment you have given me, as a viewer, these last 12 months or so. I came
across your videos as a “happy accident” and I have found them all to be very
amusing and highly informative. Even as a seasoned vaper of 4+ years now, I am still
continuing to learn something fresh each time you release a new piece of work (Your
method of pulsing and “dry seasoning” mesh wicks, for example, has been a God-send
for me). Not only that; but being a MMVapors DID owner, I recently bought a Smok
RSST after one of your recommendations and couldn’t be happier with it. Would I have
taken a risk on one had I not taken your word on its performance? Probably not. I’d
have forked out for another DID because I know what to expect… and it still work
outs cheaper than buying another duffer which would just end up in a drawer
somewhere. What swung it for me was that you use points of reference and direct
comparisons, which then enables the likes of myself to make an informed decision
based on our own experiences. The information you give is invariably sound and I’ve
come to trust your judgement on both devices and atomisers, as it’s been spot-on in
my experience.

As someone who likes to make videos, I can truly appreciate the time and effort that
goes into what you produce and I, for one, really value your gift to us all.

So, God bless you for all you do. I will continue to watch your reviews with great
interest and only ask that you don’t change a thing. The content, format and the
detail you go into is great as it is. I’d far sooner spend an hour watching you on
TV than what passes for entertainment on the box any day of the week. It’s
interesting to note that you state in your biography; “It has always been my goal to
provide good information and hopefully put a smile on your face somewhere along the
way.” As far as I’m concerned, you’ve succeeded on all counts and then some.

With best wishes

Justin

Hey Pbusardo.

I am writing to you from Denmark and hope you take the time to read this email.
I am a man, 53 years old. 3 years ago, I lost my left leg above the knee after a
medical error. Now you probably think what it comes you know, but I will tell you
about it in a minute.
I was a very active and fun-loving husband and father. Today I lost my business it
was a school for boys who did not fit anywhere else in society. I have chronic
phantom pain, but I have a wonderful wife and 3 lovely children. I am with my
disability tied to my wheelchair and my crutches.
I stopped, smoking non filter cigarettes in December 2012 and has vaping since.
This is where you come into my life my friend.
It is a very long time since I have seen and enjoyed an honest and genuine person
like you. Not only you review various electronic cigarettes and juices, you also
manage to keep a sober tone and not the least you expect also that we others do the
same. That’s big of you. I wish there were more of your kind out there and not only
online but also in the real world. I’d just need to tell you these things, hope you
do not mind. I also enjoy your reviews and I hope even one day buy one of the many
things you show us. I use an AGA T and a 1300mAh battery and it works for me.
Hope you can understand my English and that it was ok I wrote to you. It was and is
just important for me to tell you that you are helping to keep me going.
May God be with you and your family.
Best regards Lars from Denmark.

hi phil!

again phil, writing from paraguay just to tell you my story and how you helped me to
success…

i am 40 years old MD, smoked for almost 20 years.
how can a MD get on this habit besides all the info we get about it? well, one this
nasty habit gets you its difficult to leave it, any smoker knows that…
one thing always bothered me is the smell i am sure some patients could tell, and of
course the health issues.
i always wanted to quit, the problem was it gave me pleasure, and analogs were a
“company” through very difficult times (who hasnt had some).

well, for christmas 2012 my wife (who hates the habit but never claimed about it)
said to me she wanted to give me an electonic cig as a holiday present. she was
looking for the disposable ones (analog like equipment). i liked the idea but told
her to wait as i searched for some info on the web (my geeky side).
first of all, health info about vaping: i did not want to jump into something
perhaps worse. well, sadly not much info in this department, but the testimonies were
all encouraging!

…and then WE “met”!!! 🙂

i saw some of your videos and recommended hardware and decided to give the egos a
try, AND NEVER LOOKED BACK 😀 (in the mean time i converted a cousin also!)

a lot of the hardware you post isnt even available here, but the info is still very
usefull, there is always something to learn about, so i am always tuned.

soon i realised i needed more alternatives in harware and juices (i only know two
shops here with not so many options) so my next step was getting a pobox in miami
(it takes 7 to 10 days to arrive here).

analogs are a lot cheaper here compared to the states, so vaping is more costly, but
i do not regret this, in fact i am now using a sigelei v3 telescope i received a
couple of days ago! (SO HAPPY I TOOK THE NEXT STEP!, apv i mean)

my next quest is finding the “perfect” clearo hahaha

thanks again for all your work, the info, the jokes and the support to the community!

best regards and vape on!

I am 28 and have smoked for 14 years on and off. I quit for a few years then life slapped me in the face. (Doesn’t she always?) Then in early 2010 I found Vaping. I stayed with it for about 3 months. But my Volcano atty’s & “tank-o-mizers” just weren’t doing it for me. Horrible VTF. So I stopped. So I continued to smoke until I found out I was pregnant. I quit. Until after he was born when, once again, life pushed me into the muck. I started (Analogs) up once again. I stopped (Vaped)…… Then started (Analogs)…… Fail. I was sitting on my computer one day and found literally by accident GrimmGreen. (I was looking up the show Grimm) Which led me to your videos eventually led me to yours then to your site with just oodles of information!!! The rest is history!!!

Blessings,

I am 41 and was a smoker from age of 15, started out with cigarettes and
then went to cigars wich I smoked from about 19 to 41.I smoked the little cigars and
about 2 packs a day sometimes more . Tried pills” Chantix ” plus a list of other
stuff doctor prescribed but they helped very little . I also tried snus witch didn’t
help at all so I tried reg chewing tobacco that didn’t last long. Then I decided to
try disposable e cigs they were ok but not what I wanted so I got one of the ego
style kits with juice, this time it worked I love vaping now and don’t crave any
type of tobacco at all. I enjoy vaping and I can breathe good smell stuff and taste
buds are back. It has only been 3 weeks but I don’t want to smoke ever again and my
family is very happy about that

Hello Phil
First I would like to thank you for all of the useful information I have received
from your videos and web site, they have made my personal vape experience much more
enjoyable.

I am a newbie to the vaping world at just two months in. I was a pack and a half day
marb light smoker for the past eight or so years when a friend introduced me to
electronic cigs.
I bought my first kit from a local vape shop and was instantly hooked! After the
first month however, I was starting to get frustrated, my basic ego clone style kit
was not cutting it anymore , I had spent more money than expected trying to upgrade
attys and tanks batteries etc. and was not satisfied with the quality of vapor I was
getting from my set ups. I was clueless about vv watts ohmz and how different
systems work on different devices, I figured if it fits it should work and that
should be that. You can imagine my frustration after spending over $200 the first
month on pretty much incompatible equipment. I was just about to give up and stray
back to analog when I came across one of your reviews on youtube. The information
and ease of understanding (some of the terminology was like trying to understand
Korean), really appealed to me and I thought I would give it another shot. Your
review on the Kanger pro tank was the game changer for me, a relatively inexpensive
system that I could use on my ego c twist 1100 mah and produce great vapor, taste
and throat hit “VTF”. I have also purchase the evod after your review on it and just
love it! My next step is upgrading to an apv and the information you have on this
site for this category has been the most helpful yet. So in conclusion to this
rambling e mail :] I would just like to thank you again for what you do, the vast
information and knowledge I have received from your forums have really made my
experience great!! Thank you and happy Vapping! :]

i was a pack at least a day smoker for 8 years
i have a son 3 years old and i don’t smoke around them but the smell is harmful as well
i just had a laughter and i was hate the constant washing and clean and change my shirt to not have the smell
i began with a blu ecig and enjoy
but it would not work
i try another style
a 650mah ego style battery
dakang malbaro eliquid
and a ce4 clearomizer
vape it and then wanted different flavor and better taste
i start watching your videos in 2012 early and begin to see a much bigger world
i tried a lot of different one but i would not get the sensation away of the analog
when i sat down and look at a couple of ur video and saw something i like the provari the vamo the lambo lavatube style
i began to change my outlook
honestly you saved me in a way that no one here in miami could have give me at that time
and for that i thank you phil i truly do
u have give me back more year of my life
even though i am only 25 i want to be around for a long time
and quitting analogs as given me that
so please phil don’t stop the video and keep it up brother
and once again thank you phil for the knowledge that you give use about this product
and thank you personally phil for helping me be tobacco free

Hello Phil,

I just wanted to thank you for all the work you do to support people like me who are
battling a smoking habit. I had quit smoking 6 years ago and last year started to
drift back. I really want to stick around for my kids and was curious about e-cigs.
I started to see people vaping with a variety of different device and thought this
is the way to go. I was immediately overwhelmed until I came across your videos and
eventually was led to your site. I spent a weekend watching reviews and made the
jump to a KGO from Hoosier, Vivi Nova tank and some coquito juice from LJ’s. I could
not be happier and am now researching mods, with your help of course. I won’t buy a
think until I check on your site. Thanks for all your dedication and efforts, you
have created such detailed and entertaining reviews and information. Your site is
something I look forward to every day to keep up with what’s new. Be well and thanks
again!

Best regards,

Jerry

Dear Phil,

I just wanted to thank you for all of the videos you post on YouTube and this
website. Some history about me. I am a 23 year old smoker no more. I started
smoking in college when I was 18 years old. I started and was hooked
immediately from that time. Within 2 weeks of starting, I was up to at least
1/2 to a full pack a day. I became ill with depression and have struggled with
it greatly. It is when I was at my worst that I was the worst smoker I ever
knew. I was smoking 4-5 packs a day of unfiltered cigarettes.

I continued to smoke that amount for approx. 6 months. I had dabbled with quitting
multiple times and after more than 30 attempts I was a hopeless case.

I discovered an e-cig back in 2009. I purchased my first e-cig, a Blu with carts
and an atomizer. It was awful to me and I continued to smoke cigarettes until this
year. Then, while watching your videos I was determined to give e-cigs another try.
I think it was the iTaste MVP review that got me thinking.

Later I went down to Myrtle Beach, SC and stopped into the iVape store in Longs. I
purchased my iTaste MVP and some 24mg juice. I began to use it in conjunction with
smoking but found that as the days progressed I slowly weaned off of cigarettes. I
think I needed a little more.

I then bought a Vamo since you reviewed it. Boy, what a difference with the power
setting.

After that, I couldn’t stand the taste of cigarettes anymore and decided to become a
dedicated vaper.

I now have a Vamo, iTaste MVP, and a V2 ZMAX from SmokTech. I couldn’t be happier.

Phil, I just wanted to thank you so much. You saved me from a 2-3 pack a day
addiction that would probably have been with me for life.

Now all I do it pop my ViVi Nova or ProTank onto my ZMax, Vamo or iTaste MVP and go
to town.

If I can switch and make myself better then you can too people! It is amazing how
easy it was to switch.

Thanks again Phil, your reviews have helped me in this process. I already feel
better now that I am done with those death sticks.
