SUCCESS STORIES & VALIDATIONS

HI Pete, just wanted to say thank you for giving me so much fun
information. You are the best at making vaping fun and offering great info. Keep up
the great work. I love your humor that you add to your videos.PS, I just started
gaping Christmas Eve and haven’t bought any cigs since then.

Hello, I just wanted to thank you for all the time and effort you put in to
this site, I have been off smokes for 6 months , I made the journey that you talked
about in a recent video. I got the kayfun and a provari on the advise and reviews of
you and many others in my research. I have to say that this setup is the best , the
easy build is great , VTF is out of this world . The provari is by far worth it
price in my opinion . This is the website I tell people about when they ask me about
my set up . Thank you for helping me any many of my friends quite smoking . I hope
when I get back to the U.S that I see you at a convention so I can shake your hand.

ey Phil, long time no email.

Just wanted to drop a line and say thanks – but for something that maybe you don’t
hear often enough. I was just watching the battle of the bottoms, and it was really,
really coming through in that latest vid that… You enjoy making these videos.

I just wanted to say, well, that’s awesome! And thanks for it! I think a good part
of why your audience stays so engaged is in response to how engaged you continue to
remain in the making of your videos. I know that it has a lot to do with why I keep
coming back. You’re enthusiastic and having a good time talking about something that
continues to keep your interest. The enthusiasm and interest that you pour into
whichever video is at hand commands a certain level of enthusiasm and interest from
me – its infectious!

Anyway – I’ve been off the stinkies now for 14 months, and I’ll tell ya, if it
werent for folks like you out there making the information accessible, I never could
have done it. Like so many others before and after me, I tried just about everything
with little to no real success. Now, I feel better than I have in an awful long
time, and I’m having the time of my life with it, to boot.

Thanks again,
Dan

Phil, Firstly I would like to wish you and yours a very happy new year.
I was a smoker for 12.5 years, not heavy about 3/4 pack a day. I loved smoking up until my first son was born 2 years ago. I knew then and there I wanted to quit. So I chose to quit cold turkey along with my wife. 6 months goes by with no tobacco, it wasn’t easy, the craving was still there. And then, after a rough day at work, I broke down and bought that dreaded first pack…. disappointed in myself and feeling I failed my boy and wife (who by the way quit and hasn’t smoked since) I knew I needed to find something else.
Patches and gum I knew weren’t going to be the answer for me. Again I loved to smoke. So I bought a blu disposable from the gas station. It was…. okay, but not very satisfying. So right back to the camel lights. Ugh. .. I started researching more into the ecig forum and knew I didn’t want a cigarette style device. I went online and found the Vapor King storm starter kit. Not the greatest kit in the world, but it finally got me off tobacco! I then started watching YouTube and found You, Grimmgreen, and Riptrippers. Between the 3 of you I have learned so much! I love the reviews, your personality and your general knowledge of everything. I have since moved up in the world of vapeing so to say. My daily mod is the Innokin itazte VV V3, and the SVD. I use the Kanger Protank 2 and mini Protank 2. And am lucky enough to have a local vendor that supplies great eliquid.
Again Phil, I want to thank you and all you do to helping me get of those damn cigarettes!
Chad.

Dear Phil , I’m Alessandro and I’m from Italy.
I’m writing at you today to thank you again for the help that you
provided me in regard quitting smoking traditional cigarettes.
As i told you last January ( and no , i don’t pretend u remember this 🙂
) i have been smoking for 20 years until i rediscovered the vape …
Yes because 5 years ago i did buy a 510 kit in a drugstore here in Italy
( 2 batteries , 5 carto , a charger and 1 wall adapter for the “modest”
price of 140 euro ) , but after few days i put that powerless device in
a drawer where is still is.
Then , last November , a friend of mine has told me that the devices
were exponentially improved and the vape experience was incredibly
satisfying , so i decided to look on the web what was in the market and
i found yours videos …
With your help i was convinced to try again and i bought an ego w kit
…. since the day it is arrived i never touched a cigarette again …
I used only my ego w , ( and an ego twist actually) since last week .
Now i took the step into advanced vape and i bought a vamo v5 and a
aga-td and i am so excited 😀
Of course i still use the ego at work ( i work in my own little
engineering company , with CNC and C.L. machines ) but a vw device and a
rba make a huge difference 🙂
in the end i want say a big THANK YOU Phil Busardo for the great job you
make for the vaping community and the ones who need info to decide that
vaping is really an harms reduction and also a viable and working
alternative to smoking .
Thanks again and i look forward for the day I’ll manage to come in the
Usa and thank you in person

Hey Phil,
After watching your last video of 2013, you got me thinking…how the heck did I, in
the short time I’ve been vaping, stick with this and not just go back into smoking
cigarettes? Let me just say that you, sir, have had a huge impact on that. All the
videos of yours that I’ve watched have been influential and helpful to me in many
ways. I met you at Vapebash last year, and there you showed me that no matter the
popularity on youtube, websites, blogs, etc. you are just an average guy helping out
average people like me! You said something to me that stuck with me at Vapebash. I
walked up and the first thing I said was, “hey Phil! My name’s Sam, and I just
wanted to say I’m a huge fan of your videos!” and you stopped me right there and
told me, “Sam…there’s no such thing as fans to me, we’re all friends.” That to me
not only showed plenty of character on your part, but also that this community is
just that! We’re all friends, and you telling me that helped me stick to that.
Without your videos, I wouldn’t have found other influential people such as Nick
Green, who I also met at Vapebash, and I was more than fortunate enough to snap a
pic with the both of you, and I’m glad that this community has guys like you who are
willing to help people like me. I won’t ramble on and on and on, because I know
you’re a busy man like the rest of us, so to sum it all up…Thank you for what you
do. You’ve helped me, as well as thousands of other people I’m sure, with a
healthier (at least that’s what studies are starting to point to and can vouch for
that as a person with asthma,) alternative to the cancer sticks, and we all
appreciate it very much! I hope to see you at Vapebash again in 2014, and if time
allows, have a vape with you. Thank you again, Phil, and may 2014 be great to you
and your family!

Take care,
Sam

First have a Happy New Year and second I and my family would like to thank
you for getting me off a 2 pack a day habit that lasted 35 years. Thank to your
videos I have been able to stay off cigs for 6 months now and I could not be more
happy. So thank you very much.

Hi Phil
First of all I’d like to wish you and your family a very healthy and prosperous new
year.

I am a newbie to vaping living in the UK and have been a smoker for many years, I
have tried and succeeded……and failed to give up a few times. I believe when you
go cold turkey you miss the interaction with the cigarette, nothing to hold. So I
thought I would give these e-cigs ago, fell into the normal learning curve pit
falls, juice in the mouth, dry draw running out of juice….etc, so I threw it in a
draw and left it for a few months.

Then in November I had 12 days leave and I said to the wife “while I’m off I’ll give
it another go”, so armed with my tornado tank I took the first step on my journey,
seeking advise at my local totally wicked shop and the guys were really helpful.
Then the first few days under my belt off to the web and that’s when I found “Taste
your juice” and started watching the videos, It has been inspirational, I now know
it can be a hobby with all the peripherals that go with it, I think you do an
excellent job with the vids. So its been 6 weeks and I now vape a sigelei v5 and a
protank 2 and I love it. I look forward to continuing to learn alongside your
videos.

Keep up the good work Phil

My wife and I have both been free of cigs for about six months now and a
huge chunk of the credit is due to the information I gleaned from your site and your
reviews. We started with the KGO kit and now we both have VAMO’s and I recently got
into RBA’s and RDA’s. You taught me everything from filling my first carto to
wrapping my first coil and I honestly just want to say, thank you!

Phil –

I just wanted to drop you a note to say Thank You. I’m a new vapor and had my last
analog on October 10, 2013. I don’t think that this would have been possible without
you. I’m 47 years old and have smoked since I was 15. I did not have a great desire
to quit smoking but knew that I had to quit.

I’m not going to lie, I thought giving up my so called friend, the almighty cig, was
not going to be easy. It was always there for me when I needed it. By nature I’m an
anxious person and I used smoking as an escape and a way to relieve my general
anxiety. I tried the gas station ecigs without success and then I started browsing
YouTube for egis info. and after several videos of guys that actually scared me:)
and confused me, I found you.

There was something about you that I connected with and decided to dive into vaping
head first. I started with an Ego Twist and EVOD that you recommended and have not
looked back.

I know you are sitting in front of camera and probably don’t always realize the
impact you can have on a persons life. Smoking was killing me and now I feel that
I’m on the right track.

As far as timing, quitting smoking could not have come at a worst time for me. 2013
has not been a kind year to my family. After I gave up cigs, my 12 year old Son was
diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and shortly thereafter my wife was diagnosed with
Leukemia. If there was ever a reason to go back to cigs this was it, but every time
I wanted to light up I would come to your website and watch a video or two. It did
not matter what you were reviewing, it was you and your personality that I needed to
hear. Many times I just came to your site to take my mind off the health issues my
family is experiencing.

I know it may seem strange that I found comfort in your videos but I did and wanted
to take the time to let you know that what you are doing is appreciated and is
effecting people in ways you may not even be aware of.

Hopefully I’ll be able to afford the nice items you review someday but for now I’ll
have to stay with what I can afford (I even hate to think about the mods I could
have purchased if we had a better Health Care/Insurance system!) The important
thing is that I’m still off analogs and you are a large part of it and deserve a
great big Thank You!

I wish you and your family a Happy and Healthy New Year!!!!!!!!!!

Craig
