I&#8217;m a new vapor and had my last<br \/>\nanalog on October 10, 2013. I don&#8217;t think that this would have been possible without<br \/>\nyou. I&#8217;m 47 years old and have smoked since I was 15. I did not have a great desire<br \/>\nto quit smoking but knew that I had to quit. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not going to lie, I thought giving up my so called friend, the almighty cig, was<br \/>\nnot going to be easy. It was always there for me when I needed it. By nature I&#8217;m an<br \/>\nanxious person and I used smoking as an escape and a way to relieve my general<br \/>\nanxiety. I tried the gas station ecigs without success and then I started browsing<br \/>\nYouTube  for egis info. and after several videos of guys that actually scared me:)<br \/>\nand confused me,  I found you. <\/p>\n<p>There was something about you that I connected with and decided to dive into vaping<br \/>\nhead first. I started with an Ego Twist and EVOD that you recommended and have not<br \/>\nlooked back.<\/p>\n<p>I know you are sitting in front of camera and probably don&#8217;t always realize the<br \/>\nimpact you can have on a persons life. Smoking was killing me and now I feel that<br \/>\nI&#8217;m on the right track. <\/p>\n<p>As far as timing, quitting smoking could not have come at a worst time for me. 2013<br \/>\nhas not been a kind year to my family. After I gave up cigs, my 12 year old Son was<br \/>\ndiagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and shortly thereafter my wife was diagnosed with<br \/>\nLeukemia. If there was ever a reason to go back to cigs this was it, but every time<br \/>\nI wanted to light up I would come to your website and watch a video or two. It did<br \/>\nnot matter what you were reviewing, it was you and your personality that I needed to<br \/>\nhear. Many times I just came to your site to take my mind off the health issues my<br \/>\nfamily is experiencing. <\/p>\n<p>I know it may seem strange that I found comfort in your videos but I did and wanted<br \/>\nto take the time to let you know that what you are doing is appreciated and is<br \/>\neffecting people in ways you may not even be aware of. <\/p>\n<p>Hopefully I&#8217;ll be able to afford the nice items you review someday but for now I&#8217;ll<br \/>\nhave to stay with what I can afford (I even hate to think about the mods I could<br \/>\nhave purchased if we had a better Health Care\/Insurance system!)  The important<br \/>\nthing is that I&#8217;m still off analogs and you are a large part of it and deserve a<br \/>\ngreat big Thank You!<\/p>\n<p>I wish you and your family a Happy and Healthy New Year!!!!!!!!!!<\/p>\n<p>Craig<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phil &#8211; I just wanted to drop you a note to say Thank You.
