EVENTS
VERONA, ITALY - 21-22 NOVEMBER
V
apitaly was the first electronic
cigarette expo to be held in Italy,
in the picturesque city of Verona,
a truly beautiful backdrop to showcase
this magnificent industry.
The event itself was held at the
Veronafiere exhibition centre.
The event was perfectly organised and
Mose and his team were on hand to help
us upon our arrival. The footfall at the
event was estimated to be somewhere in
the region of 6000 with both days being
extremely busy.
I always try to look for something a little
bit special when I go to these events –
what is it that sets them apart? I think
it is genuinely one of the things which
makes my job so enjoyable. I get to see
the vaping industry alive and well in so
many different places, it really is vaping
around the world.
So what made Italy different?
Vaping was accepted in almost every
restaurant or bar we went into.
As for the show, that was quite easy.
It was the level of fine Italian
craftsmanship and bespoke mods which
were on sale at the show. Make no
mistake, this was truly an event where
MODS were King, the selection of one
of a kind mods truly left me astounded.
There was one small hiccup to
overcome. This was communication, as
a translator was required. Having said
that, boy did we fall lucky.
At this point I’d like to give a massive
shout out to the delightful Danielle
Custodio, a talented translator who
managed to get our message across to
vendors and vapers alike.
We were so impressed with her we have
invited her to be our translator at future
events across Europe when needed.
Vapitaly is due to take place on
28th-30th of May next year, make
sure you’re there.
