Vaper Expo Showguide 2019 October 2019 | Page 55

we move into Spring, palates change and this May expo kicks in at the perfect time. Good atmosphere, good vibe: it’s all good.” Wick Liquor: We start to develop new flavours and ingredients that enable us to further evolve in our vape juices and what our palates can handle. It’s certainly the trigger, it’s the absolute pinnacle of us moving into the next year as vapers.” “I think the main thing about the May Expo is the diversity in the new age pod systems and nic salts; it’s just really good to see that emerging genre has become so popular. I think there’s a lot of innovation in that because it’s such a small and portable device.” Candy King: Red Liquids: “It’s one of the largest, it’s the biggest in the UK and it’s an opportunity for us not just to showcase our products but also to meet new clients, meet new customers and build relationships. We also get the ability to brand ourselves out there and let customers know about the new products that we’re releasing and give them taste tests before it’s even released.” Romance: “Love the energy, love the people here and it’s a genuinely big community.” Superior Vapour: “You get a good mix of crowds and it’s not all just juice, there’s a lot of hardware as well. People are excited to come and see us, that’s probably the main attraction; people that get hyped when you speak to them a long time before the show and they save their money to come and buy stuff when they’re here.” “It’s the size and the number of exhibitors that we have come to this expo in particular, it’s like a real sense of community and it stands out as one of the big ones.” IVG: “We love the fact that we can connect with our home base; we’re a UK-established company and the majority of the people that we meet at the Vaper Expo are from the UK. So, it’s going back to our roots, where we started and the people that showed faith in us from the get-go. More than anything else it’s about maintaining that connection with the home base and our family in the UK, because without them we wouldn’t be where we are.” Humble Juice Co: “It’s a beautiful city, it’s a beautiful event, there’s plenty of great brands here, great distributors – it’s a great place.” Lucky Thirteen: Premier Vaping: “This is the fi rst time we’ve been to the May Expo as we usually do the October Expo. From past experience we do really well, it gets your brand out there and gives you a lot of brand awareness and we seem to do really, really well out of the Expo. “Vaper Expo is an institution and the May and October events seem to draw a slightly different clientele. October is certainly a bit more lively, with a hyped-up atmosphere with loads of excited consumers.” VAPER EXPO 55
