The big news from us is that due to the overwhelming success of the UK edition of the magazine we are now opening up in the USA too. The encouragement and support we have received from this industry in the relatively short time we have been around has been nothing short of outstanding and we are excited to announce the launch of Vapouround Magazine USA from July. We are also really excited about the first Vapouround Magazine Awards Ceremony which will be held in Birmingham in May as it promises to be a massive night which will also raise money for two great causes. Some big names will be there from the industry with representatives from distributors, shop owners and manufacturers alike. Also we are pleased to announce the launch of the new augmented reality technology which brings adverts to life and which is fully compatible with our Vapouround Magazine app. We have all been blown away at the way this technology allows the magazine to come to life with the use of videos, animations, games and promotions. We believe this innovative interactive technology is the future of magazines and you can read more about it in this issue. Our team has also been travelling the globe to meet some fantastic people within the industry at expos and events in Paris, Las Vegas, Arizona and Poland to name but a few and we invite you to read about that in the pages of this issue too. The reaction to us going bi-monthly has been nothing short of fantastic and we have had another massively successful couple of months - hopefully you can see the results of the hard work and effort which has gone into producing this latest issue. Finally I want to thank everyone who has been involved in making Vapouround Magazine a publication which so many vapers around the world love and enjoy. We believe we are rapidly becoming the industry leader and this is thanks to all our awesome advertisers, readers, contributors and staff. Happy vaping.
