SUCCESS STORIES & VALIDATIONS

From Marc

I don’t know what it is but your videos help me relax man. I can go back and watch your old videos, looking at where we all come from, what we all struggled with and it relax me.

I spent the day playing GTA 5 on one screen and your YouTube channel on the other. Day well spent!

Something you may not hear but I suffer from a pretty rough depression and more often than not I am messed up. It’s pretty sucky but one of the few things that gives me real and genuine joy is Vaping and part of that is sitting down and watching PBusardo videos.

Thanks again man. I know I messaged you in the past and said thanks but really Thank You for doing what you do man. Tell your real world boss (not your YouTube boss) to reduce your work load so you can do more vaping videos.

Hi Phil , my fellow vapour sorry ,sorry just been watching your BF channel
lol .I just want to say i am a big fan of yours Phil and although i did not find
you till recently boy you have changed my outlook on vaping in a big way , when i
stopped smoking 7 months ago i did not find it too hard to stop, the tech after all
is a lot better now than in 2009 ,however i thought would use vaping as a way to
stop smoking and then i would stop vaping , it seemed to me a natural course of
action and what you are supposed to do. I really dreaded that day , i have tried
every thing in the past , patches, gum, tablets ,sprays and a inhaler , rubbish, all
of them and the thought of giving up vaping sent shivers down my spine because i
knew that once i stopped i would be back smoking again , not because i was addicted
to nicotine , i was nicotine free before with patches for 7 months but i was
addicted to the act of smoking ,every smoker has triggers whether it is a drink (in
my case) stress (in my case ) emotional (in my case…… i think you know where i
am going with this lol ) all these triggers don’t have nicotine as a overwhelming
factor its the act of smoking that has .This is where you come in , after watching
your video’s i have come to the conclusion that i like vaping i am not going to
stop vaping for the first time in 17 years i enjoy the act of it , is it a 100%
safe maybe not , is walking through a city with all the car fumes maybe not ,
there are lots of things that are not good for your lungs all i know for 100% fact
that vaping is better for you than smoking the evil weed , i know this because my
chest feels good again , i don’t get out of breath , my lungs don’t feel restricted ,
like they did when i smoked .Our top medical adviser in the UK has stated that if
smoking is a sore of 100 bad for you vaping is a 5 , well that’s good enough for me
.
So a big thank you for your informative video’s and your web page , it has been a
eye opener for me and has given me believe that i can remain smoke free for the
rest of my life.Kind regards Paul . Ps looking forward to see you in London, Vape
Jam .

Hey Phil,

I am 28 years old. I smoked cigarettes for 10 years. One day, I came across your video.
I became interested in e-cigarettes. Since January 2015 the happy owner of a blue Eleaf iStick 20W (thanks for the review) and GS-AIR (it was included – I know it’s not the best) The plan I purchase something better than Gs-Air. Waiting for the tide of cash: D

With your films from rookie I became more experienced and wiser e-smoker. Some of your videos explain the basis of operation of the e-cigarette, some fun, but always your message in these films goes to me (so far as I understand English :))

I wish You a healthy 100 years vaping, smile, and the thing that makes your videos are so positive 🙂

Best Regards,
Your fan from Poland Paul (Paweł)

From Brent

Although I receive emails like this all the time, and they’re all very important to me, I thought this special enough to share.

Folks, THESE are my trophies. This is why I do what I do. They keep me going and make all the time and effort worth while.

Thank you Brent!

I’ll tell you the same thing I tell everyone else. YOU saved your lives! Give yourself all the credit. There’s no way for me to reach through YouTube and knock the cigarettes out of your hands. You are the ones who were strong, and you were the ones who quit. Maybe I just helped a little. 🙂

Need a little pick me up? Need some motivation to continue and be successful? See Brent’s and many other wonderful emails I’ve received in the Success Stories & Validation section!

Phil!
Thank you so much for your quick response! I will add one more thing for you to
think about. When my wife was diagnosed with COPD the doctor stated, “it’s just a
touch of it on the bottom of your left lung and it will eventually turn into scar
tissue as long as you never smoke again.”

Fact 1: Neither one of us would have ever been able to kick the habit with the
resources and information that was available at the the time (I.e blu, young
internet reviewers that we really didn’t relate well to, etc).

Fact 2: If we would not have found tasteyourjuice.com we would probably still be
smoking today. Simply put your website made me feel like I was vape “expert” over a
few days of reading your blogs and watching your videos. Without your informative,
entertaining and just straight damn “down to earth” (yes, Phil you make everyone
feel comfortable from age 20-80) website, I would not have been confident enough to
transition from ” Winston full Flavor” to some weird alien looking device that has
volt and watt controls.

Fact 3: If tasteyourjuice.com was not there for us at that particular time, we may
have eventually quit but instead of her having a “touch of COPD” she very possibly
could be disabled, on oxygen or even worse by this point. To make matters worse, she
even admitted that she probably would have never quit if she was still a smoker when
she was diagnosed with it. In my opinion, she would have became depressed and
probably would have continued the habit using the philosophy many smokers use,
“there is no cure, so what’s the point!”

Yes we did it! She quit after 32 years of smoking and myself after 24 years but you
were there to provide us with the knowledge, “know how” and confidence we needed at
a very critical time to be successful! Phil, I cannot emphasize enough the extremely
critical role you played in this process. Simply put, there is a very high
probability, YOU SAVED HER LIFE and extended and/or saved mine by supplying us with
your information!

We will never be able to thank you enough for what you do every day. Please remember
that for every 1 person that emails you a success story, there are probably 1000s of
people do not. Many people feel that they don’t have the time and/or confidence of
their writing abilities or like myself, I never thought you would have the time to
read all those emails!

Yes Phil, YOU have saved a countless amounts of lives and we all you an enormous
amount of gratitude.

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!!

From Bob

Hi Phil, Bob aka Lynne Nux (Linux – geddit?) here,

At midnight tonight I shall have given up cigars for 1 year exactly. No backsliding
since my first vape. I feel like a million dollars.

You & TYJ & your fab reviews played a huge part in this.

THANK YOU!!!! Really big appreciation from the UK.

Go polish your halo now!

All the best,

Bob

From Andrew

Phil. Sir Phil. Ever since I started vaping 10 months ago I have come to
you for reviews on all the good things vaping related. Not only have your reviews
been informative, but also entertaining. When I think of vaping I think of Phil. My
vape gear goes hand in hand with a good ol’ review. If you were to stop then vaping
would never be the same. So I felt it was due time to send you a message and say
THANK YOU for all your great work for this industry. I’m a huge fan of your work and
I’ll continue to entertain myself with a PB review with my Sunday morning Coffee and
vape of choice. I hope this gets to you so you know how much I and so many others
appreciate what you do. Keep up the good work. I only just noticed you have some
merch, so i’m definitely putting an order in for some, to support a true vaping
icon. Would love to see you come for a trip to Australia one day. Keep up the good
work mate!

Yours Truely,
Andrew

p.s Say hi to Dimitri and tell him I love his favorite color. My girlfriend loves
pink too. They will get along well 😉 lo

From Amy

Hey Phil!
Just wanted to let you know that your reviews are great! I was a 1-2 PAD smoker for
around 15 years. Bought a Blu e-cig in 2013 when I went out of town out of laziness
– I didn’t want to go outside in the cold to smoke in front of my hotel. I used
that off and on while still smoking until I got an eGo, but still smoked with that
for another month or two. I started watching some of your videos, and ended up
upgrading to an iStick 20w and Kanger GeniTank. I quit analogs 2 weeks later, right
after my college graduation! I even started using RDAs (even though I never build
below 1 Ohm). I’ve been considering a Mech Mod (I don’t care if kids are going to
laugh about a 1.2 Ohm build on it…I’m 35, what do I care? lol) to try since I
want to eventually ‘reward’ myself with a Reo when I finally find a job related to
the degree I finished in December. Your site has provided me with enough
information to feel more confident about a purchase. Thank you for everything you
do!

From Jeremy

Hey Phil I am not sure if you will see this was hoping yo see you in Florida for vcct but I know you were in Indiana but I just wanted to give you a thanks for everything that you do for this community means a lot that there are people out there who truly care about this community and helping us fellow vapors !

From Matt

I just wanted to say that I have recently discovered your videos and I
can’t stop watching. I was looking for reviews to find out which battery mod to get,
and your videos were by far the most helpful and informative, as well as
entertaining. I have a job that allows web surfing and have found myself passing the
hours watching reviews on devices and juice. If nothing else, the point I most want
to make with this is to say thank you for putting so much time and work into making
these videos, learning about the products, and sharing some opinions and laughs with
all of us. What you do is greatly appreciated. In case you were even slightly
curious, I went with the eleaf istick 20w. I’m very happy withtthis device. Making
the decision was easier after seeing a fair, honest, and full review and
demonstration of the products considered. Thanks again!

From Dean

Hey Phil, just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your really informative and interesting China videos. I know you already know how much the people who watch your videos appreciate your efforts but I want to add my heartfelt thanks once again because I think what you do for us guys that have quit smoking in favour of vaping is outstanding. Your tireless work to educate and inform people has inspired me (and I’m sure loads of other people like me) to spend my time helping others in Guernsey get into vaping. So what you do is very important and though I will probably never meet you in person, it’s true that you have had a positive impact on my life and on the lives of those people that I am educating about vaping. This kind of ‘paying it forward’ is really important for the vaping community and its great that what you do goes way beyond the people that watch your videos! So I’m guessing you get to fall asleep every night thinking, yeah, I made a positive difference to the world today! Really, what could be more important than that????? P.S. Based on you always going on about how great the flask is, I treated myself to the five pawns edition. I can see why you rave about it! However, the battery covers on mine don’t line up the way yours do!!!

Thanks very much Phil. One last thing, how the hell do you manage to keep talking without repeating yourself for so long in your videos? You really should think about getting into television. Man you would be an excellent news or sports anchor
