I receive success stories all the time from people who have watched my reviews or have had questions answered by me and because of that, they have successfully made the transition to vaping or continue to vape.
I also receive some very nice emails from folks who thank me for what I do. I very much appreciate these as well.
They give me the encouragement and the pat on the back that validates what I’m doing and makes all the time and effort involved worth while.
These are my trophies proudly displayed. This is what it’s all about. This is why I do what I do.
To those of you who have written me and allowed me to post your stories… Thank you!
To those of you who need encouragement… I hope some of these stories give you what you need.
To me… These give ME encouragement to continue doing what I do. So I THANK YOU again!
LATEST SUCCESS STORIES
From Bob
Did you feel that Phil? That was a big pat on the back from me ‘cos it’s
now over two years since my vapebirthday. Never felt better and all down to you.
Still loving the videos – I watch them even if I’m not interested in what you’re
reviewing ‘cos they’re so professionally produced and entertaining to boot (
especially the cranky rants which I generally agree wholeheartedly with).
Wishing you all the best from the UK – keep those reviews coming
Bob
From Shani
Thank you for your page. Ive been vaping for about 2 months now and I
really didn’t understand much of what I am doing until I found your website. My
husband has tried to explain it, the guys at the vape shop have tried to explain it
until they were really just making fun of me….I was starting to look for one of
those books “Vaping for Dummies” but I found your website instead and it made it all
make sense.
From Ville
As a semi-long time smoker, last weekend was my first bar-hopping weekend without my trusty e-cig in my pocket. Times when I were drunk, were the hardest to be without vaping/smoking.
I progressively dropped my nic-levels from 12mg to 0mg finally. Three months on 0mg and now im practically smoke/vape -free.
Just thought I’d share my gratitude with you, who is responsible for about 35% of what happened here 🙂
Keep up your excellent and informative work. World needs more ppl like you…
Ville
From David
Hey Phil, I wanted to email you for several reasons, the most important of
which is to say thank you. I started vaping with Eluma cigs and went back to smoking
because they sucked something awful. I tried several other products, ego style pens
and such, but I did not stick with it until I got my Evic tube mod, after watching
your review. I went through several tanks on that mod ending with a nautilus which I
loved. I have since moved on to sub ohm tanks and direct lung style vaping, but
thanks to your reviews and your advice I have stuck with it for quite some time now.I also wanted to let you know that I now work in my local vape shop as a manager,
and I share your views on this industries importance, and it’s need to grow up a
little bit. The shop I work at, S.I. Vapors in Bradley Illinois is not the only one
in town, but the others sell tobacco and “glass herbal” wares as well, we only sell
vape gear. I constantly hear stories of people who have been ridiculed or belittled
for what they were vaping or what they were looking to purchase in those stores. The
problem we have is that the other shops in town seem to draw that younger, more
abrasive “cool” demographic which forces us to carry some juices I would rather we
not just so we can stay competitive. The main reason this bothers me is that I took
the job not for the money but because I get to help people quit smoking. We have
customers still using ego pens or vision spinners with little Iclear 16 tanks on
them, and I like you could not care less what they vape, I only care that they vape,
and not smoke. I get to come home from work and sleep a little bit easier because I
feel good about what I do. I have customers from 18 to 80+ and I am not fudging that
number at all. The frustration comes from the fact that “cool” kid shops constantly
seem to out do us, from them always seeming to be busier than us or them always
undercutting our prices because of massive mark ups on their other merchandise. I
just wish more people would open their eyes and see what our industry even being
near cigarettes and “herbal” products does. It harms us immeasurably and they don’t
see it. I wish we could open their eyes. All I can do is give good service to every
customer, continue helping people quit smoking, and stay up on advocacy issues. I am
glad that there are guys like you out there who are trying to get the message
across. Please just know that there a lot of us out here who watch your videos, who
love your videos, and who appreciate what you do more than we can ever express. I
hope some day to get to meet you so I can shake your hand and thank you face to
face.Thanks
David
From Thomas
Although Tom specifically said he didn’t want a plug, sorry Tom, you’re getting one anyway.
Thanks so much for this, doing things right, and for thinking about the smokers! It brightened my day!
Just always remember to have something for everyone, no matter how they vape!!
Talking about impacts, directions, and impressions in your video today.
I’ve written a few times just another among thousands, however after today’s video and your Facebook posts I thought I’d just remind you how you impact others in ways maybe you don’t think of:
March 7th… This happened…
Myself and my much smarter wife, opened a shop to help others find vaping.
You might recognize our starter kits…
Your review is why they are here.
You’ll notice thirty six MTL testers (60/40) and only 15 sub ohm testers.
Some of your comments about accessibility for the MTL crowd are the reason for that.
It might be my shop, but a lot of our business decisions on stock, presentation, and some of our chosen standards (including the shop name) are directly attributable to things I heard and saw on your broadcasts.
You had a part to play in this, and no; no royalties for you 😉 we didn’t call it Phil’s place.
Warmest regards,
Thomas Kirsop, CEO

This email was royalty enough Tom, thank you and best of luck to you and your (much smarter) wife! 🙂
From Brandon
Hey Phil I just wanted to thank you for everything you do for vaping man.
You’ve influenced every purchase I’ve ever made since I started vaping a year ago
and more importantly, you’ve taught us about advocacy and fighting for our right to
vape. Last week I had a long talk with a house of delegates guy from my state and I
had a long talk and showed him my vape and explained that they were trying to call
it a tobacco product and really think I got through to him. I never would have spent
the time talking to him if it weren’t for your videos. From the bottom of my heart
dude, thanks a ton. You’re a real one Phil.
From Tony
Hi Phil my name is Tony from London and really just big thanks for the effort you put into the reviews you do as there honest, hard and not bias. I really enjoy these videos and have shown a few people them and it’s really great that someone cares about the products which are released. I was a heavy smoker and have not smoked for 5 months now. I am also passionate about vaping and love the whole experience that I’ve encountered so far. I have managed to convert 5 more smokers (friends) into vapors within the last 2 months( hopefully it will last for them). But thank you again these videos are great. All the best Tony Bradshaw
From Jason
I’m sure you get this all the time but I just wanted to say thank you! I’ve
been off the stinkies for three years. I really enjoy watching your videos and I
value your opinion. Thank you!
From Drew
Not to sound “stalkerish” but if I ever meet you in person at a vape meet I would love nothing more than to shake your hand and thank you in person for what you have done for me. I might only be 21 but I was smoking at 14 and the day I turned 18 I picked up my first vape and haven’t looked back. Since then I have relied on your reviews and tutorials so much not only for me personally but for work as well. I work at a vape shop in Hopewell New York and you have taught me how to use so many devices or how to fix simple issues so I can help the customers that come in. Thank you so much Phil!
From Jos
