Community is everything, no matter the industry.
Credit to the Vaper Expo UK team for bringing
the best of the vape community to life twice a year.
We are lucky to live in a place where people have
the choice to genuinely transform their lives, by
making one change of habit.

VAPOUROUND
Three million people’s lives have been improved
by vaping in the UK. That’s the equivalent of the
entire population of Lithuania or Albania and even
more than the population of Kuwait or Jamaica.
You may have read about a plateau in vaping
in the UK. The industry is going through a change,
from infancy to adolescence if you like, where vape
shops are having to work smarter, not harder,
in providing quality advice and expertise, not
just great looking products at the best price like
the local corner shop. Manufacturers are taking
standards seriously, listening to reviewers and
customers about what people really want.
Since October’s show, this industry has had its
fair share of tough criticism, and then some.
The bad news is this is never going to go away.
In true ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ fashion, the
Great British vape industry has grown a thick
skin and is getting on with the job. The UK can
compete with world leaders in innovation, the
US, China and Japan.
Euromonitor estimates that the number of adults
who vape will reach almost 55 million in two years.
Currently, the global vape market is thought to
be worth more than $22 billion – around £17 billion.
That’s an increase of $18 billion, up from $4.2
billion just six years ago.
Both Vapouround and the Vaper Expo believe this
vape community is truly incredible and without
this support network, none of the wonderous
things you’ll encounter this weekend would be
possible.
Make the most of your Vaper Expo weekend
whether you’re a seasoned show-goer or it’s
your first time – see you at stand B140.
Let’s get to it! R x
