Phil,
Just wanted to say thanks. I quit dipping snuff (a can a day) and occasionally
smoking analogs 6 weeks ago as a Christmas present to my wife (and kids). I stumbled
into a B&M vape shop on the way to work and bought an eVOD on a whim. Started
looking around online, found your site and now I’m a huge fan. Literally everything
I have learned about vaping is from you. I now vape a Nautilus Aspire mini on a 30w
iStick. Next month: a Russian! Gotta get some ceramic tweezers….
Anyway, you’re a gifted, thoughtful, entertaining engineer and I appreciate what you
give to us in the vaping community. Thanks a ton.

Hi Phil,
Thank you, thank you, thank you. One year and two months ago, I decided to change my
life and try to give up tobacco sticks. Well I started searching the internet in
November 2013 and after looking at various sites, and getting rather confused, I
stumbled into your website. WOW what a difference.
You explain every thing in a clear, easy to understand way.
On the 20th December I visited my local B&M and bought an MVP2 starter kit and I
have never looked back. I had my last tobacco stick on Christmas Eve 2013.
Thank you for giving up your time to pass on your advice and information in a clear
and concise way.
I’m hoping to see you at Vape Jam UK.
Thank you Phil
Sally

Phil,

You may or may not read this, but either way, I wanted to take a moment to let you know that your videos are fantastically helpful to me and I am sure many others.

The thing that kept me vaping instead of smoking was the hobby aspect. Trying new things, learning what worked, and getting excited about new design like the Kayfun v4 (holy shit they fixed everything that was wrong with the first fantastic edition.)

I just wanted to offer some personal thanks to you for what you do. I have been able to make some great purchases and found things that I really love by watching some of your reviews.

Keep ’em coming, and thanks so so much.

Phil, I have noticed that your name and your reviews are the standard that
all others follow. We need more people of your expertise to promote vaping and
encourage more people to quit cigarettes. I have been a deputy sheriff for 15 years
and I recognize sincerity and honesty when I watch/study your reviews and “how to”
videos. I like to see people succeed and prosper from hard work and you definitely
put 100% into your reviews. Your reviews promote better industry practices and
encourage more people to put down the “analogs” (as you call the cigarettes). Thanks
for your time. Christopher

Hi Phil,
You probably get this email a lot so I will try and keep it short. The entire point of this e-mail is just to say thank you very much for all you do for us new people that are just getting out of smoking and in to vaping. So thank you sir. I hope you get a hundred times more than what you give. That is all (unless you have time to read the rest)

I am a 39 year old man. I started smoking at about the age of 13. A couple years after, I had turn into a pack a day smoker. A couple years ago, maybe more, I read something about ecigs and was very interested in something that could possibly take the place of smoking and be healthier for me. I did a little research and ended up ordering a starter kit from greensmoke. Oh man I could not wait for this miracle device that was coming in the mail. I had such high hopes for this to be my way out. So the I received my starter kit. Wow was I disappointed. It was cute little cig alike. It had a little taste and almost no vapor. I’m sure you can guess what happen after. I went right back to my smokes.

On November 19 2014 I decided to do a search on vaping. Your youtube channel and a bunch of others popped up. After watching some of the videos and seing how much vapor was being produced, I decided to give it another shop. That next day I went to a local pipe shop and picked up my first ego battery and iclear30 tank. I was amazed at how much things had changed.I am guessing that it must have been much longer than two years since I tried the greensmoke device.
On November 20 was when I had my last analog smoke. I refuse to say that I quit smoking because I feel that me saying that will make me want it again.

Since that day, I have done nothing but look at youtube videos about vaping and have since then purchased several tanks and a box mod. Out of all the videos I have come across, yours are by far the most informative and entertaining. There are other great youtubers doing vaping videos but I find my self going back to yours the most. I feel like you have helped me more than you will ever know and more than you will ever get back in return. For this sir, I thank you more than I can express.

Forever in you debt,

Jorge

I’m so happy I found your reviews. I’m 56 and just finished my first year of vaping
after 40 years of smoking. Most of the video reviewers I’ve seen are kids and don’t
give anywhere near the details you do. I want those lengthy, in-depth reviews.
I own a wholesale food company distributing to stores across the northern half of
Arizona and am considering adding vaping hardware and liquid to my wholesale lines
and possibly retail. There is only one vape store in Flagstaff which is a college
town of 80,000 people. I’ve had aggressive offers from one company out of Florida
which I’ve seen you review but haven’t yet explored other brands.
If you have any insight I’d appreciate it.
I currently vape the EMOW mega with an Aerotank Mega tank.
I just ordered the IPV mini and am thinking about using the Kanger subtank mini or
nano with it after watching your reviews last night. I’m partial to Kanger. I was
going to order the Vox 50 until I saw your review which brought me down since all
other reviews were so favorable but I just can’t dismiss yours.
Thanks for all you do and if you have time I’d love a response.

Phil,

I just wanted to thank you for all you do for the community. I stopped smoking 2
years ago. I started out, like most, with a carto tank and an ego battery. Luckily
shortly after I found your youtube channel and videos. I have watched every video
since. Now I have ‘moved on’ and I am strictly a cloud chasing hobbyist. I went
through alot of gear, most of which was purchased based on your reviews and
suggestions. I went to the ViVi Novas, to the original Protank, PT2, etc. Then
made my way into the kayfun world. Stayed there for a bit and moved into
rebuildables and mechs. The first was the original K100 and a Patriot. Now as I
type this I have moved through other things. Now sitting here with an IPV3 and a
TOBH V2. I still watch your videos, and have recently grabbed an atlantis, based on
your review. Loving it so far for an in-the-car type of vape.

Your hard work and dedication has not been for nothing, because I am sure that my
story is not unique from anyone else that has found your channel or site. I love
your review style, very honest and straightforward. You cover all bases and aren’t
a “Flavor of the week” type of review.

In closing, thank you so much for what you have done for me, and everyone else. I
am looking forward to 2015, the regal vape 4000, and many more reviews!

Thanks,
Greg

Hi Phil, sending this out from Nicaragua… I love your videos I learned a
lot from the added value you give by explaining the technical things we normally
overlook. I personally enjoy it, there are some of us that don’t mind a lengthy
video if we you are kept at the edge of your seat captivated with such rich
information flow.

Please continue uploading I appreciate your time producing the videos and the time
when I watch them. I smoked for 17 years, that is half of my life and your videos
helped me to stop smoking, I have been vaping and off of smokes for six months and I
know for sure I am never going back again, nowadays just the smell of cig smoke
really bothers me and I cant believe I got hooked on them for all that time. what a
waste… anyway I just thought I would tell you this, I have gotten a few of my
friends to switch and to my surprise felt quite satisfying.

Best Regards from Nicaragua.

Phil, just have to say I have been following your reviews for the past few months and just wanted to thank you for what you do. I was a smoker for about 8 years and have been smoke free for over a year. As my vaping journey continues, I find myself checking your videos to see what is new and what will help create an even better vape experience, and I can say without a doubt that your videos help me accomplish that. I live in Fort Worth, TX and hopefully I’ll catch ya at Vapeblast. I’m a police officer so if I remember I’ll bring you another patch to add to your collection.

Thanks for what you do Phil, -Thomas

I’ve just recently stopped smoking death sticks 3 weeks ago and I had no
clue about anything and your reviews helped me out a lot in selecting a setup. You
cover everything that is needed to know about everything you review. Thank you so
much and keep up the excellent work my friend. HAPPY VAPES!!!!
