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!

LATEST SUCCESS STORIES
From Robert
Your work is truly helping the world. Keep going. You’ve helped me so much. I have
zero desire for tobacco. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!Your conscientious reviews, objective analysis and practical advice has changed my
life forever. Midnight New years eve 2012 i smoked half a cig and realized how
disgusting it is. Haven’t looked back since.You really did help me get to that next level beyond the ridiculous disposable/gas
station products and on to a place where I’m so satisfied and healthy! ❤️My doctor approves 100% and i see her every three months.
Science is still on the way but anecdotally, I’m convinced that vaping results in
less, and slower nic absorption than ‘big tobacco’ products for, in my opinion, a
myriad of reasons we could delve into.My Very Best Regards,
Robert

Hello Mr. Busardo. I just wanted to let you know I just recently made the
switch from cigarettes to vaping. It will be three weeks tomorrow. After watching
many reviews on YouTube to try to gather as much information as possible, I recently
found some of yours. I just wanted to say thank you. You have the most in depth
reviews of anyone I have found. Your 100% honesty is the best part of what you
offer. You have a new fan here. Once again thanks for what you do.
From Jospeh
Dear Mr. Busardo, I just wanted to write you today and say thank you! Today
is my 2 year anniversary of being analog free! You are a BIG reason I made it. From
building my first early coils, to learning about battery safety, and what makes a
good (and bad) mod, I learned too much from you to list here. I am more advanced in
my vaping journey now, but I still love to watch your videos. Quality is quality and
your work is just good!
With all that being said, just let me say again Thank You sir! Not just for helping
me, but all the others you help with your work as well. Keep up the great work!
From Ryan
Hiya there Mr. Busardo! I wanna say right off the bat, THANK YOU for your
website and your review videos. I’ve been vaping off and on since about 2006,
starting with a P.O.S. Ruyan pen style piece of junk from china, and over the years
have grabbed other budget pieces with little success, and much disappointment. But
when I learned about your review site and checked out some of them, you helped me
finalize my decision on a product. Now, the real meat and taters here is the fact
that your indirect influence got me immediately off cigarettes, dare I say,
permanently! I talked my old man into buying me a Kanger Subox kit for my upcoming
birthday, and as a result, he bought some new vapes for himself, and ALSO said to
hell with cigs. Since I’m still waiting for my Kanger to show up, I grabbed a new
Eleaf iJust2 (which you NEED to try, my god) to sort of tie me over until the Subox
shows up, from a local store in Buffalo NY. Similar type of setup, albeit more
simple, sub-ohm vape, but the big cloud belching device that I hadn’t tried yet. The
big thanks is that you demonstrating these new products and seeing the performance
changed my mind, and my beloved father’s mind, about vaping, and I’m infinitely
grateful, sir.Cheers!
From Rob
I am one year smoke free today. I just wanted to drop a line to thank you
for the videos that you make, and how they have helped me with the decisions on the
devices I have chosen to buy, and not to buy, over this time. You have saved me
hundreds of dollars.
When I started this “journey”, there is no way in hell anyone could have convinced
me that I would sit for an hour each week to watch a video about a vaping device,
yet somehow you pull it off.
I am looking forward to my next year of being smoke free, and watching the videos.

From Gerry
Just wanted to say a large and loud THANK-YOU for all of the time and effort you put
into your reviews and the vaping community in general.I’ve been analog free for a year and a half after smoking for 16 years. Your
Youtube channel and website are invaluable and entertaining sources of information
and have led me to products that have both kept me from returning to cigarettes and
introduced me to what is now a wonderful hobby. (Just wish I’d seen your Fogger v5
entry on here before I picked up mine, fortunately cheaply. Frustrating is only the
first word I’d use, the others are usually four letters.)Banner week for me as well. I’ve taken no less than three people I care about to
local vape shops and helped them with their first set-ups, in part using information
gleaned from your videos.Keep up the amazing work, and thanks again for your dedication!

Hi, Phil,
The reason I’m e-mailing you is to thank you for your efforts in putting together vaping-related videos.
I started smoking when I was 13. I’m now 50, so that makes 37 years of sucking all kinds of toxins into my system. For a lot of those 37 years, I was a 2+ pack a day man. I never thought that I’d be able to kick the habit. I’d tried the patches, cutting down, cold turkey, and so on. I never did try the pills (Chantix, Bupropion, nicotine lozenges, etc.) because I did not trust going that route.
A few years back, one of my friends suggested that I try picking up Walmart’s version of the Cigalike. Needless to say, I was back on the cigarettes within a couple of hours.
A few months later, I picked up an Ego C-Twist. This also did not cut it, and I was back to smoking by the very next day.
Fast forward to a couple of months ago. I was tired of wheezing and coughing, and being out of breath from all the smoking, so I picked up the Ego again. I tried hard to stick with it, but found myself going back and forth between it and the Ego. Desperation drove me to YouTube to do some research and I found people were using something called ‘mods’ and blowing clouds of vapor. That looked more like it. That looked like it might work!
So… I paid a visit to my local Cheap Tobacco store to see what they had in stock. I was impressed by how lackadaisical the staff of said Cheap Tobacco store were, and by their serious lack of knowledge and willingness to actually help customers, but like I said, I was desperate, so I purchased a Kamry 20 with an Aspire Atlantis tank (which sucks with both .5 and 1 ohm coils, by the way) and it helped a little, but still just didn’t cut it. Oh, well, I asked myself, what was I expecting from “cheap Chinese crap?”
At that point, I was ready to throw in the towel and just go back to smoking and deal with the health issues I was facing – yes, I know that I’m weak willed. Then I discovered your videos.
I watched a few of your videos, and finally came across your review of the JoyeTech eVic-VT, and was intrigued. This looked like just the ticket. Of course, I wasn’t going to just take your word for it. I searched and found a bunch of reviews on this device, and for the most part, they all said what you said – Rip Trippers is a hoot, by the way.
So I went back to your channel and found your China series, and this showed me that not all “cheap Chinese crap” is created equal, and based mainly on your videos, I picked ordered an Evic-VT from http://vaporauthority.com/. It arrived on July 21st, 2015, and I’ve not had a cigarette since then. It’s now September 3rd, and I’m more than happy to have replaced smoking with vaping.
Also, based on your August 27th review of the Goliath V2 by UD Youde, I ordered that on August 31st from VapeNW. It’s due in tomorrow.
Long story short, Phil, I owe you debt of gratitude. It is plain to see that you put a huge amount of time and effort into your videos in order to educate people about vaping, and your efforts have most definitely paid dividends for me, quite literally, changing my life for the better. Thank you for this!
You have my full permission to publish any portion, or all, of this e-mail on your site, and if any of your readers/viewers have any doubts about the sincerity of what I’ve written here and want to contact me about it, please feel free to publish my e-mail address.
Thank you.
Take care of yourself and those you love.
Sincerely,
Keith.
From Chad
I know you probably wont see this but i wanted to at least try to send you my thanks.I had smoked for 15 years and I recently quit smoking analogs (4 months) and your videos were very helpful in finding a setup that worked for me as well as encouragement to keep going. as of 2 weeks ago i also have quit nicotine and now only vape for making Os, but from me and my family i would like to thank you.
BTW – I did see it and thank you!! 🙂
From Chris
I have sent you afew emails in the past asking questions and alittle cranky chris as
well lol. I’m really wanting to thank you, I have been smoke free for almost 2
years and I’m loving it. I started like everyone else with a ce3 and a ego battery.
I now run a provari 2.5 and a ehpro kayfun 3.1. Your reviews and builds have
really helped me to choose what I should go for in the vast amount products and
juices out there. I will admit I forced myself to hold off vaping all of my five
pawns until i got my provari in the mail 🙂 . I’m hoping in the future I can go to
a vape meet and thank you in person for helping turn my health around but this will
have to do for now.
Thanks 😀
From Dusty
Pbusardo, just wanted to say that I both enjoy and value your reviews. As far as I`m concerned you`re the best, keep up the great work and if no one else has said it, THANK YOU, for all you do for all of us vapers out there.
