I will try to be short but it\u2019s a long story. In 2007 I had to have an infusion and I had an anaplactic shock to  it and ended up in a coma for 3 weeks. My heart almost stopped working and it stopped supplying blood to my legs. I had to have both amputated below the knee. They all thought I was going to die but obviously I didn\u2019t. I hadn\u2019t smoked in 1 1\/2 months but when I had that first one I was off and running. It wasn\u2019t till 2009 that I tried vaping. I had the old cig style batteries  and cartomizers.  I tried making my own with the stuff you get at the pet store they use for aquarium filters. Tried tea bags. Never was really happy with it tried probably $500 worth of juices. When they came out with the DCT\u2019s I thought but I was still smoking about a 1\/2 a pack. I have never bought from a brick and mortar cause we don\u2019t have any good one.  I got a GGTS when they came out and burned up IDK how many atomizers. Went back to the carto tanks and got a Silver Bullett. When the Provari came out I ordered on right away the VV really intrigued me. It worked great  and I was pretty happy. Found a juice vendor HHV that I liked the liquid and all of a sudden the vendor I was using for my cartos started getting some really crummy ones at about this time I found out I was going to have to have my aortic valve replaced so had to stop analogues completely. Found a new vendor for my cartos  SmokTek. Had my Open Heart Surgery in 2012 and it didn\u2019t go as planned so I ended up with much the same problem I had before. I started watching your videos in that area of time in the dark room. They have come a long way. My cardiologist wanted me off nicotine all together so was  working my way down. HHV mixed up different nic levels then they advertise and I am down to 3mg. Got my wife to stop smoking and start vaping after only 4 years of nagging. With all the equipment coming out I really started watching your videos  to find out what would make the juice better. That\u2019s when I started writing to you and have since gone to the Bottom Coil Tanks because of your reviews and I am so much happier with my flavors.  My wife is using up my DCT stash, only thing she likes. I am going to some of HHV\u2019s other flavors which have \u201cStreet Shout Outs\u201d My next order will be Omg nic and 40\/60 wife still needs the 60\/40 and 3mg but she has been off anologs for 3 months. This came out way too long sorry Phil.<br \/>\n    I know this can use some editing, shortening and paragraphs but wanted to thank you for all your help. I\u2019m 64 years old and smoked since 16 especially after I joined the Army at 17 back when a lot of the guys were there by choice either Army, Marines or Jail. I wasn\u2019t one of those but had a lot of friends that were.<\/p>\n<p>Patrick<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey Phil: I wanted to let you know about how you have helped me.
