EVENTS
APRIL 15-17 TH 2016
by Stephen Tarpey
Held in Messe Frankfurt on April 15th to
17th 2016. This fair saw the combination
of both shisha and vape hitting the show
floor. One half of the hall was dedicated
to shisha and the other to vape. I have to
say I'm not 100% convinced that this was
128 ISSUE 05 VAPOUROUND MAGAZINE
the right choice, for the first time since I
can remember I left a vape show actually
smelling of smoke.
Don't get me wrong, the exhibit was
well planned out and the stands were
excellent, but most of the guests who
were there came to see the shisha
stands, although when they looked at the
Vaping part their curiosity got the better
of them and they would come over to try.
This in itself is a good thing, if the idea is
to get smokers from tobacco the chance
to educate people on Vaping is always a
good opportunity.
The event was truly international, brands
from across the globe attended, to name
a few countries represented; South
Korea, China, Malaysia, Germany, Italy,
France, Poland, Croatia, U.K & USA.
There was a balance of liquid and mod
manufacturers present.
All said and done, this was a good event
and the exposure it bought to people
who wouldn't normally know about
Vaping gave it something a little bit extra.
