I wanted to say thank you for your smokers show and all your reviews.   I’m  44 and been smoking for close to 30 years. I have tried switching to vape several times over the years and just hasn’t worked for me, until I found your show.  I thought my only options were big sub ohm tanks and low nic because that’s all I see out there and none of that worked for me.

I just bought a Smok Nord and 12mg Naked 100 juice and so for I love it! Next week I’m going to order your Kroma A kit with the Zenith tank and really looking forward to giving it a go.

Again thank you and the Greek for all you guys do!

Have great day and keep up the great work.

Just want to reach out and say a big thanks for all have done and continue to do for the cause. I started with your vids a few years back and almost quit cigarette’s for good. I started vaping the sub ohm tanks and lost my way with the low nic juices. I since found my way back by watching Matt from SMM and then wouldn’t ya know good ole Pete Pbusardo. Got me a Zenith today and some 8mg juice. This is the way to never buy another pack. With that tingle on the back of my neck, THANK YOU.

Good morning Phil,

I wanted to say thank you for your Smoker’s Show and all your reviews.

Hey Phil! It’s me – Susan. It has been awhile since we spoke. I believe the last time was on Facebook. Anyway, I just had to write to you about the Zlide tank. When I first saw it online, I knew that I just HAD to have one. I didn’t think anything could pull me away from the Zenith, but oh my goodness! This tank could not be any more perfect!!

When it came in the mail, I just sat and looked at it for nearly an hour. It was too gorgeous to even use 🤗! My husband was looking at me as if I had grown a second head, then
he finally asked me if I was going to fill it up, and I just mumbled like an idiot. I couldn’t take my eyes off it.

I had ordered the gunmetal with the red drip tip. They were all so pretty, but I had never owned anything in gunmetal before, and with that red drip tip – oh my❣

You and Dimitri are truly doing a wonderful job with these tanks. I’ve always been a mtl kind of girl, and you have hit it out of the ballpark with the Zlide. I’ve loved all of your tanks, but this one is just special, somehow.

I won’t keep you. I can’t even imagine how busy you must be nowadays. I just had to write to you about my new, gorgeous Zlide tank. I am truly in love with it😍, and couldn’t be any more happier if I tried!

I only have one small problem…. after I started vaping with the Zlide with a rapture-like look on my face, my husband said, “You’re gonna give me the Zenith now, right?” 😮🤣

Keep up the great work! The vaping world is most definitely better off with you and Dimitri in it.
Talk to you soon, my friend! 💞
Susan.

LOL Susan! I think you need to get hubby a NEW tank, not a hand-me-down! 🙂 Thanks for taking the time to write this and we’re so happy you like it!!

A beautiful, heart-felt letter from Janine. Keep up the fight Janine, as will we. I’d also like to send words of support and encouragement both to you and your friend.

Evening Phil,

I was going to phone in for the first time on tonight’s Smoker’s Show but I couldn’t bring myself to pick up the phone. I wanted to speak to anyone watching the show who was considering switching from smoking to vaping, to encourage them to do so. As a former smoker of 40+ years, I switched to vaping almost 4 years ago and have remained smoke free for that time.

For the last year I tried to encourage my dear friend of 35 years to give vaping a try and hopefully put down the cigarettes for the last time. I gave her 3 different devices all designed for MTL, several coils and different strengths and flavours of e-liquid. I gave her a lengthy tutorial as well. She actually quite enjoyed it and hoped vaping would be the answer. I had high hopes she would succeed. It didn’t work for her.

I received a call from her last week, her voice cracked as she gave me the news – she has lung cancer. To be honest, it doesn’t sound good. She is only 55 years old and facing the fight of her life.

After the call ended, I sat staring into the trees from my patio and wondered how I could have helped her more when I tried introducing her to vaping. Did I give her the right devices? Should I have tried harder? Would it have helped?

It’s been a week since I received that call and I’ve had time to digest the news. Although I am gutted and frightened for her, I have come to terms with the fact we will never know if vaping would have helped, whether or not her fate was already sealed. And it really doesn’t matter at this point.

I became angry today, thinking about how vaping is in trouble – the anti-vaping, junk science spewing nay-sayers are getting far too much attention these days, and I fear they are winning. All the lives saved and the possible future lives, don’t seem to matter. Here in Canada we too are now at risk of losing the very thing that could quite possibly be the answer to putting down cigarettes for good. And it does’t matter. Scientific studies are proving that vaping is less harmful than smoking, and it doesn’t matter. The drain on medical systems due to smoking-related illnesses could decrease drastically, and it doesn’t matter. When will truth replace fear and panic? I wish I knew.

What does matter is reaching as many smokers as possible; to spread the word that vaping really can help save lives. And that is what you and Dimitris do with The Smokers Show. It’s likely you will never know how many people you have and will continue to help stop smoking through vaping. But if you can help just one person switch, you have done your jobs.

This is why I wanted to call in tonight, to encourage perhaps that one person watching who was considering making the switch, to do just that – give it a try. And if you don’t quite succeed, don’t stop trying. Please, don’t stop trying.

All the worry in the world won’t help my friend. What will help is if I do my damnedest to encourage people to at least consider giving vaping a try and to continue writing my local Member of Parliment, which I have done repeatedly over the last 10 days. I have sent links to VAEPworld.com , sent informational videos on vaping and pleaded with her to educate herself on the subject rather than regurgitate the false studies and bloated numbers regarding teen vaping. Dammit, I have to try.

I apologize for this lengthy email, Phil, I know you are a busy person. Thank you for all you and Dimitris do for the vaping community, you have helped me in my vaping journey and I am most grateful.

Vaping may not have prevented the fight my dear friend is about to face, but it could help prevent future battles. I’m up for that.

Sincerely,
Janine
4 years smoke free

Mr. B…first off we miss you up here in sunny upstate NY. I wanted to take a minute to personally thank you (and Dimitris) for your dedication on the Smoker’s show. I have follow you for a long time. The first time I viewed your channel I remember it being a very dimly lit video 🙂

Have been a long time vaper and hated to admit I was both a vaper and a smoker for almost 9 years. Over the last few years I had eased up on all the reviews and YouTube videos and continued to both vape and smoke. I did, however, cut my cig intake from over two packs a day to less than one. Then I saw the Smokers Show series an started watching. Loved it!

Well, a couple months ago I found out I am going to be a grandfather. Since I had thousands invested in all this fancy vape gear I needed to figure something out. I had smoked for over 40 years. My daughter always begged me to quit, if not for me…for her. Even my sister begged me to quit. Then both kind of gave up. Now, my baby girl is grown and going to have a baby. Whoa. I really needed to wake up!

I turned to you and Dimi and the show. No fancy cloud formations. No flashing mods or quadruple twisted overturned bee hive staple tank track coils…just a support forum and the topic of getting off cigs. I feared not having a cigarette handy, and the escape that smoking gave me. You guys helped me through that.

I have a grandchild on the way, tomorrow we find out the gender. All the family around. And I will be waking into that party not having had a cigarette in almost 5 weeks. Maybe it’s not that big of a deal for most, but after over 40 years it becomes a part of you. A bad part, but a part nonetheless. It’s a huge deal for me. My family knows that as well.

For the first time in a LONG time my daughter gave me a big meaningful hug. It meant the world to me. And tomorrow, I can tell my sister that it’s been 5 weeks. It IS a big deal for me. I never thought I could really do it. The fight isn’t over yet. I still crave, but you guys have helped me occupy my mind with “proper” vaping.

I don’t think you guys really understand how much we appreciate what you do and what you stand for. And I can’t begin to describe it. But THANK YOU for the support and the content! So far, I did it!

I am on a renewed mission now to get my friends to try what I should have a long time ago. I won’t part with my Z Biip, but I have lent a couple of them a few of my pods. Haven’t seen them back yet, but they are trying. And watching your past episodes. One said she was binge watching. Lol.

Honestly, I don’t care if I see my stuff back again because one of them was having a horrible reaction to Chantix. Won’t go into detail, but it hurt to see one of my employees try so hard to quit so she can have necessary surgery…and struggle with that med. Chantix may work for some and that’s great. But not her nor my step daughter.

Glad to say Kim stopped Chantix and is vaping on the device I gave her. And happy. She has cut her nic level down to 6mg and plans to go lower! Her doctor called me and told me that he’d deny ever speaking with me…but thanked me. Felt good.

So good that I’d give all the gear I have to see that! Anyway, sorry for the run on again but finally…doing what I have wanted to. Quit smoking myself AND getting others to give it a try.

This is Ali the caller in episode #27 from last week.

I wanted to thank you and Dimitris for helping smokers such as myself to quit smoking. This is why I felt the need to thank you and Dimitris for making the “The smokers show” that’s helping smokers with safer alternatives to kick the habit of smoking.

I’m 41 and have been smoking for over 15 years, averaging one pack a day; however, since we spoke, I had only three cigarettes which was nearly impossible to achieve for me prior to our chat on YouTube.

I’ve also messaged Dimitris on Facebook to thank him for his advice and offer to mail a Juno kit; however, I went ahead the next day and got myself a small aio to duel use with the zelos kit.

The duel use made a huge difference with me in controlling the craving towards cigarettes. I haven’t heard back from Dimitris yet, and I’m not sure if he shipped the kit or not, but either way, I promise to pay it forward and help other friends to quit smoking.

Best regards,

Ali

Hello Phil,

Was over the moon happy when I saw your intro to the Zlide. Then you did the intro for the Z-BiiP and I just wanted to give you a hug!!! Airflow control…check, interchangeable decent coil …check. Better filling option than other AIO/Pod style devices …check. I’m hoping the fill port will work well with 30, 60 and 120 ml unicorn bottles. WELL DONE Since your platform products release. I’ve come full circle. I am back to MTL vaping and am fully in camp platform. You have put the joy back into vaping for me.

Phil,
I have been vaping since 2009 and just got the Z-Biip and wanted to tell you, you
outdid yourself on this one! Had been using the eGrip before this and can’t believe
I finally found something better. Thank you for all you do for the community. Have
enjoyed your videos since day one! So nice to see some great MTL items again. Never
could get into the whole sub ohm thing. Thank you for developing such a nice MTL
vape, there are still lots of us who enjoy it! Have a great weekend!

Just want to give a quick intro from a new member. Ive been vaping for a little over 4 years now. Smoked for 14 years (pack a day). 4 years ago i had my last cig. My first vape was actually 6 years ago, but i continued to dual use. Started on a ego pen with cartos and a J tank. I actually found Phil on YouTube and watched him religiously. 2nd time around was the original nautilus but continued to dual use. I remember buying bottles of bobas bounty because of Phil lol. 3rd time around my son was born and i never looked back. I knew i had to stop this poison. I knew i had to stop for my son.
