A blog post on vaping site vapemestoopid.co described the
NEC event as the highlight of the UK vaping year so far.
The post said: “Vaper Expo was the event of the year for me.
VapeJam was great too, but I think Vaper Expo had the right
mix of professionalism and fun while catering to much of the
general public and trade members.”
Website planetofthevapes.co.uk reported that dedicated
vapers from the UK Slick Vapers group on Facebook got up
at 4am to ensure that they were at the head of the queue on
Saturday’s opening day…that is real dedication for you.
Summing up the exhibition, the website said: “These events
provide a real focal point for vapers who otherwise interact
in a virtual environment.
“They are an opportunity to come together, share laughter
and experience a day out together…with the samples and
discounts being offered, vapers left for home with loaded
bags and happy faces.”
Judging by the comments left on social media sites, the
event was enjoyed by exhibitors, sponsors and visitors alike.
Some comments on Twitter included this from @Sharpzilla:
“Just got home from @VaperExpoUK had a great time, awesome atmosphere, grabbed loads of bargains and some
cool free stuff Here's to next year!”
@WhichVape tweeted: “Had great fun @VaperExpoUK
today, meet lots of nice people and tasted some amazing
liquids!” while @trampykid said: “Good day @VaperExpoUK
today, many new flavours and toys to put to the test.”
The organisers were more than happy with the event too
and wrote on the official Vaper Expo Facebook page: “A big
thank you goes out to everyone who attended the Vaper
Expo this weekend.
“Cuttwood Cosmic Fog Vapors, Totally Wicked e-liquid - UK,
Vape Distribution, Grey Haze Ecigs VGOD and all of other
sponsors we can't thank you enough, you have all helped to
create one wicked weekend.”
This was a fun weekend with a great sense of community
and with next year’s event already being planned it looks
like this could become a firm favourite event for the UK
vap ing community.
