I would like to express my sincere condolences to Drew's wife and family. As a community we all share in your sense of loss as Drew was truly a leader and mentor for so many of us. I first "met" Drew in July of 2011 when he was a guest on the Darth Octane Show on Elixir TV. He gave away a prize of e-liquid and some atomizers on that show, and I was fortunate enough to be the winner. Because I had no experience with Nhaler's line of juices at the time, I was at a loss when I was asked to choose what flavor I wanted to receive, so I told Drew (via e-mail) that I was primarily a tobacco flavor person, and asked him to select a juice for me. He very generously sent me a bottle of Drewbacco 1, Drewbacco 2, and Drewbacco 3. And although I enjoyed all three, Drewbacco 3 struck such a note with me that it became my everyday vape for the next 2 years. I really must give Drew, and his Drewbacco 3 credit for helping me to give up a 30 year plus addiction to tobacco cigarettes, because even though I had been vaping for approximately a year before winning Drew's prize, I was still smoking cigarettes fifty percent of the time, and vaping the other fifty percent. Approx. one year after my win, and countless 30 mil bottles of Drewbacco 3 I had my last Camel on Sept. 5th. 2012. Drewbacco3 continued to be my all day/every day vape until earlier this year when, for the sake of convenience when at work (I work 12 hrs. per day) and while driving, I switched from 510/306 attys. to Protank and Aspire tank systems (it was actually Drew, via his video on the Nhaler site that introduced me to the Aspire line). Unfortunately, the magic flavor of Drewbacco 3 did not come through in any of the tank systems I have tried. That said, I still continue to enjoy my Drewbacco 3 while relaxing at home and dripping into my 510/306 or RDAs, in fact, I just ordered another 30 mils today. In closing, I would like to express my thanks for Drew and Nhaler for the role played in my vaping experience. I will continue to "pay forward" what has been done for me, as I introduce other's who smoke to vaping. I am proud to say that I have helped to transition several of my friends and coworkers away from tobacco. And as I think about it, this is actually a continuation of what happened to me, thanks in great part to Drew and our chance "meeting" on Darth Octane's show more than four years ago.
Great photo of Drew, this is just how I remember him. Any chance you could post a larger version?

I was thinking of this thread and took a pic of my first generation Xhaler. I was so excited back then for the initial sale of them and was like a kid at Christmas when it arrived. I'll keep it forever.

Some devices just never go out of style. Some people never go far from our hearts...
Wonderful thread. Sigh.

Been away a while and one of the first shops I thought of in the midst of all the new guys was NHaler. Just placed an order and was happy-happy joy-joy that the old 801 to 510 long extenders for the Jantystick were still in stock for us oldtimers. And that the order shipped the same day - same fast service as in the 'old' days. I looked for the forum to brag on the service but found this thread, instead.

My joy is a little tempered now, to discover that one of the true GodFathers of the ECig industry has passed. Drew was a remarkable man and will not soon be forgotten. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. And thanks for the continuing excellent customer service.
