Hey Phil,<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a while, so I wanted to send an update and thank you. We exchanged emails briefly a little over a year ago when I was (looking back now) still pretty new to vaping. It\u2019s been a year filled with highs and lows, both of which back when I was a smoker would\u2019ve had me reaching for a Marlboro. I\u2019m happy to say I haven\u2019t even been tempted since discovering my old VTR, that awful\\leaky tank it came with, and your channel.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve also been pretty involved in advocacy here in Chicago (cook, ugh), brining myself and as many vapers as I could to local hearings regarding vaping regulation and taxation. I\u2019m not sure if it\u2019s doing any good, but it\u2019s worth fighting for either way. I\u2019ve given away more mods\\tanks\\atomizers than I can count (I guess that\u2019s one positive of these vendors releasing a new product twice a day), and switched a good amount of friends\\coworkers\\family from tobacco to vaping, even if it\u2019s just part time (more than a few went from hookah to vaping cold turkey, which surprised me).<\/p>\n

Long story short, NONE of this in the last year would\u2019ve happened without your videos, knowledge, and encouragement. This \u201chobby\u201d has grown into a movement of people taking their lives and health back, and a VERY large part of that is due to your work.<\/p>\n

Thanks again for everything you do Phil. I really can\u2019t understate how much you\u2019ve helped me and many others. I\u2019ll always be a friend (and a fan, I\u2019m pretty sure you\u2019re allowed to have fans now) of you and the community you\u2019ve helped create.<\/p>\n
