Hello Phil,<\/p>\n

My name is Konstantinos and I live in Greece.And I smoked. Since I was 13 I did, as
\nan occasional “trying to look cool” “early thug life” type of smoker, and I did
\nuntil January 21st 2013. When a close friend of mine tried to quit cigarettes again
\nby vaping (2nd attempt) by purchasing an eGo type and I decided to give it a go. I
\nbought a pack of cigalikes, no button, just inhale and vape, tried a lot of juices
\nuntil I was happy with a sweet type of tobacco from a Greek company (Nobacco, in
\nparentheses if you don’t want to advertise). I decided to vape for financial issues
\nat first, with health being just secondary. I was a pack a day smoker, smoking heavy
\n25\/pack cigarettes a day and I was getting laryngitis or bronchitis every 3 months
\nor so, like an early warning sign. I said to myself, you spent 40 euros,got no job,
\nnow you are stuck with it, vape it. You are not going to smoke again. <\/p>\n

So I vaped. And then I started looking online for tips when I had trouble with my
\natomizer, mostly Greek forums. Then YouTube. And I found a guy named riptrippers,
\nwho was making his own coils on some super overpriced metal tubes, called mechanical
\nmods for some reason I still don’t get. And then I found a guy called Phil. Phil
\nwasn’t a teenager, he was mature. Phil made these reviews in an entertaining way
\nthat appealed to me, made me look more into it. <\/p>\n

Because let’s get it straight, cigalikes sucked. And cigarettes were on my mind a
\nlot. I watched the review on the istick 20 and was like , that’s me. Who cares what
\nthis guy says about pulse width modulation and voltage being higher than the screen
\nshows. I like it. And I found it in Greece, rebranded from the previously mentioned
\nGreek company, hugely overpriced, but I bought it anyway. And I loved it. <\/p>\n

Long story short, it was a one way street for a gadget loving guy like myself, to
\nget RDAs, build my own coils, temp control\/limiting devices, that I still use in
\nkanthal, because I don’t know why, maybe I don’t like titanium, nickel and SS that
\nmuch. I got some mech mod clones (not enough money for any authentic), chased those
\nclouds, was that 1 guy in Greece that people glared at in the street trying to be a
\ntruck exhaust. But I liked it, didn’t care (provided I didn’t annoy other people
\naround me). As long as it kept me off cigarettes. Finally I managed to save up
\nmoney, after I finally got a job in this crisis ridden country (that’s going from
\nbad to worse) and got my very own Kayfun v4 that I cherish. And switched from lung
\nto mouth to lung. <\/p>\n

This is not a fan email or some similar crap. It’s appreciation letter to you and
\nthe work, the real WORK you do. I have learned so much about the hobby (because mods
\nand vaping ended up as a hobby for me),that I passed to others, friends and
\ncolleagues in the bank that I work. I have managed to help (because I don’t like the
\nword convert, it’s too much of a cult\/religious reference) 7 people to switch to
\nvaping. And I only hear thanks. And this “thanks ” should be addressed to you, who
\nmanaged to research so much and convince me, help me and inform me to stay on
\ne-cigarettes for more than 2 years now. <\/p>\n

So thank you Phil, for all your work, dedication and questionable love for Greeks
\nand excuse my language errors and syntax. <\/p>\n
