Hey there Phil,<\/p>\n

I don’t normally send out e-mails to folks I watch youtube videos of. Usually seems
\nfairly pointless because most of what I watch is parodies of music videos using
\nvarious games, gameplay footage, and people fishing for squirrels.<\/p>\n

To start, I’ve been a fairly heavy smoker since I was twelve. Got caught and quit
\nuntil I was eighteen. When I started back up, I was barely a quarter pack a day.
\nNow, I’m 25, I’m anywhere from three quarters of a pack to two packs a day depending
\non the day of the week. In the last seven years, I’ve tried quitting seventeen
\ndifferent times. Tried cold turkey, tried gum, patches, lowering my limit. Nothing
\nwas working. The longest I went without a cigarette was -about- two days. Even on
\nthe patch and gum, I still snuck in a quarter to half a cig if I was -really-
\nstressed.<\/p>\n

Last year, I started getting into electronics. Specifically- The Blu, sold at the
\nWalgreens I used to work at. My attempted migration to the Blu netted me a good
\nthree weeks without the real thing. But it was missing something- vapor. Part of
\nwhat makes\/technically still makes smoking an enjoyable experience for me is being
\nable to just blow clouds when I’m stressed. Something to focus on that isn’t just
\nwhat’s in front of me. <\/p>\n

A buddy of mine that I play EVE Online with that works for Gator Vapor out of
\nFlorida (www.gatorvapor.com) was posting pictures of some… Rather impressive
\nclouds. The likes of which I’d have assumed would have been following some sort of
\nexplosive. He started telling me about “vaping,” and I started asking him all sorts
\nof questions. How does it work, how expensive is it, how close is it to “the real
\nthing,” for… Well. The smoking equivalent of your V-T-F.<\/p>\n

He pointed me to the VAMO V2 on the Gator Vapor website, and, being someone that
\nlikes to know things about things that maybe other people wouldn’t know… I fired
\nup my GoogleFu (Yes. GoogleFu. Like Kung-Fu but with Google.) I saw a lot of product
\nreviews, but all of them were static photos and typed out over god knows how long.
\nStarted losing interest fairly quickly.<\/p>\n

Watching your review on youtube for the VAMO sealed the deal. Your obvious
\nenthusiasm for the reviews you do really shows through consistently throughout
\nthe… Well. I’ve been watching your videos since monday, learning as much as I can
\nbefore my VAMO arrives.<\/p>\n

As a heavy smoker whose repeated failed attempts are starting to catch up with him,
\nthank you for doing video reviews that are as entertaining as they are educational.
\nBeing able to learn about the product itself, see how its’ assembled, know what to
\nexpect from it, and actually seeing it in use make it significantly easier to at the
\nvery least open the door. Keep up the reviews, whether they’re good or bad. Maybe
\nI’ll be able to get in on one of your contests at some point as well.<\/p>\n

Thanks to what I’m learning about vaping from APV’s as opposed to E-Cigs, I’m
\nsignificantly more confident about being able to make a more seamless transition.
\nThere are people I work with as well that are curious about vaporizers and I’m
\nalready pointing them to your videos because they’ve been the most educational to
\nme.<\/p>\n

My VAMO and iClear30 will be arriving in the mail in less than 12 hours. I hope to
\nbe sending you a ‘success story’ at some point, but regardless of my outcome, I
\nstill thank you for the time you put into your videos, and your devotion to -what-
\nyou do.<\/p>\n
