That is<br \/>\nclose to my story also . I started smoking at age 14 , i am now 42 . <\/p>\n<p>I have been<br \/>\nvaping in public places like restaurants , movie theaters , malls and the like for<br \/>\njust over 3 years now . BUT , i watched your Vamo review in late March , ordered one<br \/>\nfrom VaporBreak.com in china and once it arrived sometime in mid April . I have LIT<br \/>\nonly 2 analogs in the first few days after it arrived . I also use 30 &#8211; 36 mg juice<br \/>\n. I have used MadVapes.com since I started modding and tried some watermelon flavor<br \/>\nthey had and some sort of DCT system . LONG story short , got the right mod , the<br \/>\nright nicotine content AND a flavor that i really liked , I  PUT ANALOGS DOWN . <\/p>\n<p>Thank you so much for your videos , your time , and ALL the effort into what you do<br \/>\nfor people like myself . You have done more for me and my health with all the GOOD<br \/>\ninfo you put on your website and on YouTube . <\/p>\n<p>I was using regular eGo&#8217;s and 3.7v AA<br \/>\nbattery box mods and standard cartos \/ attys . But , i tell you what , the price on<br \/>\nvaporbreaks site for the Vamo , and your review , i got a setup that i could<br \/>\nactually afford , the kit was 37 bucks or so for the Stainless model , 2- 18350&#8217;s<br \/>\nand a charger plus shipping , wound up spending right at 100 bucks shipping included<br \/>\nfor all kinds of goodies on my first order with them . I know i sound like i am<br \/>\npromoting them to you , i dont intend on that , but i do in a way . Living in<br \/>\nKnoxville Tennessee , there arent that many B&#038;M&#8217;s in the area , and the tobacco<br \/>\nshops that do sell e-cig items are really overpriced . BUT back to my story , Phil ,<br \/>\ni havent smoked a single analog since i got a setup that allowed me to personalize<br \/>\nthe vapor , when you use 2.5 ohm cartos on an eGo , it isnt powerful enough to<br \/>\nproduce the TH or flavor that cranking the power up to is like at vaping at 8watts<br \/>\nor so . I can drop on ANY DCT , carto , ViVi Nova .. whatever i have , and vape away<br \/>\nenjoyably . I am now using some of my OLD cartos and attys just to get rid of them .<br \/>\nI love the ViVi also  and all your videos on it too . I now have 2 Vamo v2&#8217;s 3 sets<br \/>\nof batteries and SEVERAL tank systems 2 different RDA&#8217;s .<br \/>\nI know i am rambling a bit , but all in all , Thanks Phil . I really appreciate the<br \/>\nhelp you have given me to put down analogs hopefully for good . <\/p>\n<p>I mostly mix my own liquids too try to get 48 &#8211; 60 mg base in PG and mix down with<br \/>\nVG and off the shelf food flavorings from the grocery stores \/ walmart . I know you<br \/>\ndont advertise that you do any  mixing yourself , i am sure you get a pot of<br \/>\npromotional liquids for a really good price \/ free , but if you do mix your own ,<br \/>\nthere is a little bit of pride in knowing you made the flavor you like and you also<br \/>\nknow whats in your liquids too that way .<br \/>\nPhil , i could ramble all day , i think i hit the high spots . Would also like to<br \/>\njust sit and talk to you about vaping  , i am sure we could talk for MANY hours<br \/>\nabout something we are both passionate about  .<br \/>\nThank You , Thank You , Thank You &#8230;&#8230; I cant say it enough ,<\/p>\n<p>I was smoking anywhere from<br \/>\n3\/4 pack to 1  1\/2  packs a day of HANDROLLED \/ injected with pipe tobacco . I was<br \/>\nusing a Top-O-Matic injector with pre-filtered tubes . not sure if you are familiar<br \/>\nwith that . But , was getting almost twice the nicotine , and probably twice as much<br \/>\ntar with that as from a pack a pack of cowboy killer reds .<br \/>\nI was smoking them for the past 8 years or so , just after the first BAD sin tax<br \/>\nhike . <\/p>\n<p>I actually over the years tried MANY different stop smoking aids , Zyban , nicotrol<br \/>\ninhalers , Patches , Gum , Lozenges , and even Chantex . So smoking was something i<br \/>\nwas going to do till it eventually killed me , and thanks to your reviews and<br \/>\ninformational website i was able to get an Advanced Personal Vaporizer setup that<br \/>\nquelled my need of traditional tobacco intake . The nearest think in the past that<br \/>\nactually helped was the nicotrol inhaler , i guess it was like sucking on a sponge<br \/>\nimpregnated with nicotine through a cigar sized plastic &#8216;pipe&#8217; . I was a little bit<br \/>\nlarger than your pinkie finger in length and probably just a touch larger in<br \/>\ndiameter , but the cost of those were outrageous . <\/p>\n<p>Well , think i got the gist of my previous smoking habits . Wish i would have<br \/>\nremembered that yesterday when i wrote you . Thank You Phil . You really dont<br \/>\nrealize how many people you actually help , i am sure now where as many people you<br \/>\nhelp actually write to you and let you know what YOU have done to help them . It<br \/>\nreally means so much to me the time and effort you really put into your videos and<br \/>\ninformation you post . You do more good than ECF does on their forums . Honestly .<br \/>\nThanks again , and again , and again . <\/p>\n<p>Donnie<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phil , i just watched your ECC videos and the guy at the end of video 1 , i think it was that said it&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4986","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-success_stories","wpcat-18-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4986","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4986"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4986\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4986"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4986"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4986"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
